Elaborating because I have a specific thing in mind now:

So this was prompted because I had pulled up a random playlist before going to work on my tddk fic and sober by fidlar came on. I decided to work on an argument scene first but them went -but what if fuyumi? So this is what has set the vibe. I then thought of her singing the song. I see a lot of rebellious touya and natsuo who introduce it to shouto, but what if fuyumi.

So, I'm just gonna give a rundown of what I'd do if I wrote this, as I do often. (Also, as I do often, no afo because that's complicated and sad so I say no. And I'll be changing some other stuff as I see fit, entirely because I can and it's easier.) (Also, I'm using a lot of fanon and common fic tropes for this. So the beginning is ramped up for some extra strength angst to set everything off.)

First off, a big difference between this concept focused on fuyumi and not one of the boys is that she hits this phase as an adult. Meaning she has adult responsibilities she needs to keep in mind, but also adult money and practically unlimited freedom outside of her work hours.

So the fic starts with a rundown of how much fuyumi has been forced to be an adult since she was 12 and her mother was hospitalized, and how even before that she was treated different than her brothers and felt like she had to do everything to keep everyone together while simultaneously lacking the power to actually help anyone. It also shows shouto shutting everyone and everything out while natsuo gets more and more antagonistic. Shortly before shouto gets to UA her and natsuo have a huge argument as he starts one to many arguments with there father which leaves more messes for her and more abuse for their baby brother. She asks why he can't just leave it be and stop making it worse, he tells her that nothing she does to help ever actually helps, she tells him he never helps at all, he tells her she should just give up and calls her a suck up and an idiot, she tells him she's just trying to keep everyone from getting more hurt, he says none of it will bring back touya, she screams that at least she wasnt actively pushing for another sibling to be killed.

The whole situation is fvcked, they both took things way too far and neither of them deal with it. They end up just not talking at all afterwards.

So then shouto moves into the school dorms (UA is like that now because I prefer it. The rules are a lot more lax tho bc they dont have to worry about villain attacks. Shouto comes home for training on weekends.) Fuyumi starts her new teaching job, making it so shes out of the house most of the day. Natsuo is avoiding her and her dad has no reason to actually exist in the house when shouto's not home. So fuyumi is alone the whole week, and it's fine. Its somehow so much harder to get through the day when it should be easier without other people to look after, but she's fine. It's probably just her job being stressful.

Shouto's first weekend home. Theres screaming, her father is back because shouto is back and because her fathers back natsuos back to butt heads any chance he can. (A little note, this isnt really natsuo slander. They're all dysfunctional and blinded to the consequences of their actions. Natsuo thinks making their dad angry at him distracts him from shouto as it worked with touya. He doesnt consider the ways fuyumi deals with the fall out or how it affects their brother's training. He's also acting out due to anger and its worsened by how not angry fuyumi seems to be. Not an excuse but he doesnt see the full scope if it yet. He will tho dw)

The weekend passes and fuyumi feels like she's dying. But it's probably just a cold from one of the kids. She goes through another week, alone. She tries to push through the week as she always had, but it's so much harder to cook for one than it is for four, and the leftovers the week before had gone uneaten.

Eventually the weekend does come around, and she is not relieved. Their dad had been sent some sort of notice about shouto's performance at school and he was worse than usual. Fuyumi had spent the entire time leading up to shouto getting home flitting around trying to ensure there was nothing else that could set him off and trying to calm him down as much as possible. It doesn't help, she knows it.

Sunday, while endeavour isn't home, fuyumi and natsuo end up alone together after they both see eachother in a hallway. Their conversation starts awkward, maybe theyd both intended to apologize, for going too far if nothing else. It quickly devolves into another argument though, a misplaced word and a snippy responce snowballing into full on screaming. Fuyumi just wanted it all to stop while natsuo wanted her to see his way. At some point he told her she was an adult and she should act like it and move past clinging to her dad. she shot back that he was an adult too and should stop throwing tantrums, and he didnt have to forgive him but could at least stop trying to force a worse fight to justify himself.

They're loud enough that shouto comes to see what was wrong. Fuyumi immidiently switches to telling him everything is fine, they weren't fighting, nothing was wrong. It was just an overreaction, /i/ just went overboard when I shouldn't have. Natsuo is annoyed that she, like always, is placating and pretending instead of dealing with anything. So he tells her if it was just an overreaction she should apologize. And she stumbles around ot for a moment confused and kind of hurt he (as it seems to her) would use this to win an argument. But in the end she stops, and smiles and says she's sorry. Just like she always did with their dad. (The expression was exactly the same and it sent natsuo and shouto ~spiraling~. But we'll get to that later.)

So we're focusing on fuyumi so we're gonna jump a bit forward. She's invited for drinks after work and agrees for once, to avoid going home. She then agrees to go to a second bar and ends up going a bit overboard. She ends up outside a bar with heavy music playing. She likes it, she never listened to it as a teen since her father would have disapproved. But she needed some that didnt feel like it was boiling right now, which is how she found herself outside the side exit. She squatted down, hand to her head with the smallest amount of the coolest ice she could make coating her hand so she could press it to her head.

(I like the idea that fuyumi can control the temperature of her ice buf differently than her mom and natsuo. They can control it to make it denser and clearer and a bit colder or less cold, but fuyumi can only make hers super low. She had to work with a quirk counselor to get it low enough that it didnt burn people. She never had an im issue with it burning her though.)

She felt pleasantly fuzzy when she ignored the uneasiness of her stomach. She stood back up and leaned against the wall. There were a few people smoking further down the alley but no one else around. She went to go back inside and stumbled a little. A man called out to her looking very annoyed and ends up leading her back inside (telling her to follow him and not throw up as she did.) He held the door for her but didnt help her when she stumbled. He got her bottled water and called a cab for her, very irritated while he did it. She apologizes but he scoffs and tells her it's his job. He tells her she's going to overheat so she laughs and frosts over her skin. He tells her he meant she needs water and that was the opposite of helpful. She rolls her eyes and tells him he should of said that then. He tells her she isnt as smart as how she dresses and calls her a nerdy npc. They argue a bit and the taxi arrives. Before she gets in she asks what the bar is called, she likes the music.

(Kurogiri is not shirokumo in this. Or it's not brought up at least. He adopts shigaraki when he's a kid and owns a decent but very well liked bar. He let's his employees choose music)

It was, in fact, her first hangover. But they were no where near as bad as the stress headaches she got as a teenager, so it's fine.

22 14 19 24 (character ages at the start of the fic, fuyumi shouto natsuo touya/dabi)

I want to end with a jump forward in time by several years. Shouto has his friends over, all of them now in their early twenties. They're all talking about dumb things theyve heard people have done and fuyumi sighs while reminiscing and makes a comment about it. One of them asks if she has any dumb stories and she laughs because she did so many things she shouldn't of.

(And when she reveals them shouto is absolutly dumbfounded)

××××

(This is 2+ years old)

I think this would have touya as a teen runaway, changing his name to dabi while living on the streets. Fuyumi meets him several times and there are moments where she implicity trusts him in a way she should not be trusting a stranger. When he basically scolds her for this while she's drunk off her ass she apologizes and says he reminds her of her late brother (he definitly doesn't cry over that later).

He would eventually go to see the rest of his siblings, but not until after endeavour is arrested.

Also fuyumi would have to deal with being the "obsession" of toga for awhile. She is very confused by it, but kind of just ends up treating her like a little sister. (Toga makes a comment that she's real similar to dabi at some point, at which point dabi realizes she Knows and that was a threat to tell her.)

I want a fic where fuyumi snaps and has a rebellious phase. I feel like all her siblings have fics where they get to pull some shit and piss off their dad but fuyumi never does, but she deserves to.
