#it's always fun getting asks about tabf XD

[thelazyhermits]

After getting so many asks about Nighteye, I figured I’d share some HCs involving him haha

After the raid, Fortune and Nighteye exchange numbers so she can contact him if she ever has any worrisome visions about All Might. What she didn’t expect was for him to occasionally text her to see how All Might is doing, basically acting like a worried parent even though he’s younger than him lol

Fortune thinks it’s sweet how much Nighteye cares about All Might so she doesn’t mind giving him updates. She’ll also tell him about any funny events involving All Might that she happens to witness.

Also, regarding Nighteye’s birthday present for her in A Bright Celebration, Fortune takes a picture of it dressed as Dad Might and sends it to Nighteye after thanking him for the present. She also includes a caption of the words she told everyone else. Nighteye took a long time to respond cause he had to spend several minutes fighting the urge to laugh. He was literally shaking at his desk with his face buried in his arms. 

So, I know that Midoriya ends up interning with Endeavor during the winter break. I don’t plan on changing that since I think that experience was good for him. The reason he wasn’t with Nighteye despite him being alive is because Nighteye was in the middle of an investigation that involved the LoV. Since UA wants their students to stay away from the LoV for now, Nighteye recommended that Midoriya intern somewhere else during that particular week which led to him accepting Todoroki’s offer. 

Up until that point though, Nighteye has Mirio and Midoriya come do intern work. I figure UA wouldn’t temporarily stop the internships in TABF since things ended so much better with the raid as compared to canon. However, it becomes less frequent like they mainly go during the weekend or like in the afternoons.

During that period of time, Nighteye asks Fortune to come along every now and then since he wants to see her Quirk in action for himself. Since their Quirks are so similar, he figures he can offer some helpful advice. Even though he knows she’s technically a civilian, it’s obvious she’ll still get involved with fights as long as she’s staying at UA, so he might as well help ensure that she survives those fights lol

Naturally, Midoriya is completely fascinated with the idea of two people with foresight Quirks sparring. He wonders how that’ll work, and honestly, Fortune and Nighteye are wondering the same thing.

When they try to find out, they discover they can’t use their Quirks on each other at the same time, meaning if they try to fight each other with their Quirks the Quirks will cancel each other out. This makes sense to me since how else would a fight work when both fighters can predict the other’s movements especially since those movements are in response to those predictions? 

I think their brains would have a fail safe for situations like that, so their Quirks don’t activate when other foresight Quirks are involved since it would overwhelm the brain if so many possible scenarios were being shown to it. It just seems like things could get bad quick, so no foresight Quirk battling for those two lol

As a result, whenever Nighteye spars with Fortune, it’s mostly hand-to-hand but sometimes he’ll get her to use his Quirk since he still needs to see it in action. He also has her fight Mirio and Midoriya, figuring it’ll be good training for everyone involved.

While they do get along better as compared to their first meeting, occasionally Fortune and Nighteye butt heads mostly when they disagree over something or when they’re both being stubborn. Mirio thinks it’s a sign of how well they get along that they can fight like that but Midoriya isn’t so sure. Midoriya always panics in the background when the two adults squabble while Mirio just laughs and enjoys the show.

So, you know how Nighteye knows pretty much everything about All Might? Well, there is actually something that Fortune knows that neither Nighteye nor Midoriya knows about, and it kinda drives them crazy since they hate not knowing everything about All Might lol Basically, it was an event that she saw in her vision that no one else but her saw since All Might was alone at the time. It was an embarrassing moment for All Might so he doesn’t want her talking about it even though Nighteye and Midoriya are obviously curious.

In regards to what the event was, I like to keep it vague so y’all can let your imaginations run wild. What I had in mind was either a costume malfunction happening while dealing with a villain or him accidentally running into something while on patrol XD

Regarding Fortune’s age, I had 19 in mind when I started TABF, meaning she’s an adult but not old enough to drink alcohol in Japan. That’s why she didn’t have any when she went out with teachers since Aizawa couldn’t tell if she was 20 or not.

I just recently started thinking about what Fortune would be like when drunk. She’s not particularly interested in alcohol since Mumei was often drunk when he forced her to watch horror movies so she has a lot of bad memories involving alcohol.

However, I can see her trying it at least once out of curiosity. That’s how the teachers discover that Fortune is a complete lightweight. She gets drunk really fast, like it doesn’t even take a full glass of beer lol

Fortune is one of those really affectionate/cuddly/sleepy drunks. She just quietly snuggles up to whoever is nearby and hugs them.

Aizawa is her usual target if she ever happens to have any alcohol whether it be purposefully or accidentally. She loves to hug him and affectionately nuzzle him as she tells him how much she loves him. 

Naturally, Aizawa finds it embarrassing, but he never pushes her away. The other teachers think it’s hilarious and will always get glared at if they try to tease him.

Aizawa is even more protective of Fortune in this state since she can’t really defend herself. He keeps her close with an arm around her shoulders.

Mic and Midnight will try to take her for fun, asking if she loves them too. Of course, Fortune does and wants to convey this, but Aizawa won’t let go over her. Drunk Aizawa doesn’t like to share lol 

The nights when Fortune ends up having alcohol, Aizawa always carries her back to his apartment via piggyback rather than bother taking her to the dorm. Partly because it’s easier for him but mostly because behind closed doors he’s a cuddly drunk too XD

There are soooooo many amazing scenes littered throughout this fic, honestly this is so hard. Since I don’t want to bother you with three paragraphs, I’ll have to shorten this down, lol. But each time scenes like Fortune reuniting with Class 1.A, Aizawa, Fatgum, etc, those were always amazing.

The same can be said for scenes with certain background characters, like the one with Ojiro and Monoma in the joint-training session. I loved that! Maybe it was because we got to see and read about characters not normally explored a lot, but i really loved that scene. Another one similar to that scene, was the one with Yaoyorozu and Fortune. Where Yaoyorozu made Fortune a tracking device, and Fortune basically acknowledged all of the amazing things about her.

One final scene, I think, would be when Fortune was ‘kidnapped’ and ‘interrogated’ by Class 1.B, and all of the scenes following that. Those are characters we don’t really ever get to see, so seeing them have their time to shine, as well as see their important individual character traits explored, gosh that blew my heart away!

I’m rambling so much, I’m sorry. You should have seen the first draft, I was just mumbling on about all of these amazing scenes in TABF, it was really long, lol. I’m sorry again. 😅

First off, please don’t apologize. I freakin love responses like this. Whether it’s in a comment, reply, or an ask, I say the more rambling the better haha

I love all the scenes you listed since they’re all ones I had a great time writing. I’m sure y’all have probably figured this out by now, but I absolutely love writing reunion scenes. Those are my jam XD

I’m delighted that you enjoyed all the scenes involving characters we don’t normally see a lot of. Since Momo is one of my favorites, I had to write something for her. Plus, I wanted to give her some much needed encouragement before her final exam.

In the case of Ojiro and Monoma, I can’t even remember how I came up with that idea lol Like suddenly after he got introduced, I came up with the idea of Monoma developing a crush on Fortune cause I thought it would be hilarious. Plus, I wanted her to talk with him about his crazy rivalry with 1-A. I picked Ojiro to be in the session cause he has a Quirk that Monoma wouldn’t be able to copy and cause I like him. I’m glad I went that route since I enjoyed writing the training session.

I was kinda nervous at first about introducing 1-B into the story since we really didn’t know a lot about them, but I still wanted to give it a try since I didn’t want to exclude them from the story. While I wasn’t the most confident in all my portrayals of them, I had fun writing their characters, and that introduction chapter for them was a total blast to write haha

Haze, I am very glad that you enjoyed the ko-fi I sent! I am happy that it brightened your day. Truly, I find that your dedication not only to your stories and characters, but also to your fans is something to be admired. Your stories are always so creative and I can never go a scene with Todoroki in it where I don't laugh. XD Your interpretation of the characters is truly of one a kind and it really makes everyone feel like a loving family. You've done well! -Luna Anon

*clutches chest* My heart can’t handle all these feels your kind words are giving me, Luna Anon! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! You are so freakin sweet! Thank you so much!!

Words can’t describe how happy your ask has made me. Saying that the characters feel like a loving family is like the best compliment you can give me since that’s the kind of impression I want to convey in my writing. I really enjoy writing those kinds of bonds, so hearing that you enjoy reading them makes me really happy ^-^ 

Tbh I was nervous at first when I started writing Todoroki since I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to do him justice. I thought I wouldn’t be able to convey his character properly, so it was a huge relief when my interpretation of him was received so positively. Now, I don’t worry about writing him. I just have fun with it cause he’s such a great character. I’m really glad his scenes are able to invoke that sort of reaction since that’s always my goal. Whenever I write Todoroki, I wanna do so in a way that’ll always put a smile on my readers’ faces

I’m so grateful to have such wonderful readers like you. It’s because of y’all’s support that I’ve made it this far. When I first started writing TABF, I was just planning on writing that one story, but after getting so much positive feedback on it, it made me want to write more for this world I created. I’m glad I did since I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. I’m always looking forward to seeing what kind of inspiration will hit me next.

Thank y’all so much for everything! I hope y’all will all continue to support me and TABF!  (≧◡≦) ♡

It wasn’t until today that I realized I missed the opportunity to include Monoma in the zodiac. While I’m satisfied with who I chose for the zodiac, I admit it would’ve been fun to include him especially since writing his interactions with Fortune in TABF was so much fun haha

That’s why I thought I could include him as a member of the Sohma family but not of the zodiac. He’s a cousin who knows of the zodiac since one of his grandparents was a zodiac member in a previous generation. 

Neito hates all the attention the zodiac get since he doesn’t think it’s fair for them to be treated so differently just because they can turn into animals. So, basically, in this AU, he has a “rivalry” with the zodiac. 

The way he tries to compete is by breaking the curse. If he does that, then they won’t be special anymore, and he’ll be on top since he broke the curse that no one else could for generations. Can’t get much cooler than that. 

If anyone were to ask him why he wanted to break the curse, that’s the response he’d give them, but there’s actually another reason. Although he doesn’t want to admit it, Neito does care about the zodiac since they are his family. He wants to save them from the curse that is weighing so heavily on them.

So, basically, he takes turns between being jealous of them and concerned for them lol Like he cares but he also gets annoyed by them, mostly Katsuki cause of his arrogance. Those two often butt heads. 

Neito meets Fortune the day he decides to visit Shouta’s house to investigate the mysterious girl who has been befriending his cousins. He doesn’t really think much of her at first, but when she manages to see through his hidden motives for breaking the curse, he starts paying her more attention. 

Like in TABF, it doesn’t take him long to develop a crush on her since he likes how she doesn’t overlook him since it’s normal for people to pay more attention to his cousins. She doesn’t do that since she doesn’t give the zodiac special treatment. To her, they’re normal people like her and Neito. 

As a result, Neito ends up paying a lot more visits to the house much to Hitoshi’s annoyance and Shouta’s exasperation. Shouto just takes it all in stride since he’s confident that he’ll always be Fortune’s favorite XD
