I want an au where fem Izuku gives birth in the hospital, and Hizashi came there with Shouta because he needs to be everywhere and he’s just like that

During childbirth, the hospital is attacked by a villain, who is still so strong, and the heroes cannot stop him because of a bunch of other villains

Izuku, for obvious reasons, can’t either, and Shouta, due to stress, can either commit genocide or accidentally get killed, and as a result, Mic HAVE to use his quirk and partially stun the baby

Of course, neither Izuku nor Shouta blamed Hizashi for this and calmed him down, but Yamada was still devastated

It seems to me that at some point in their life the child was angry with Mic, but after talking with their parents and a psychologist they apologized for the offense (and Yamada's trauma reanimated SNJSJDJDJ)

Random Fun Facts from Quirks of the Cosmos.

The Tsukauchis are family friends of Yagi Toshinori, so both Camus and Hyouga see Yagi-san as Toshi-oji (an uncle-figure). To the two young Saints, their Toshi-oji is a sweet guy with a few health issues that needs to be protected (😅).

Milo, Ikki, and Shun’s parents are well-known Heroes that have made it to a few Top Ten lists; The Venomous Hero, Sasori (or Kardia to his friends and allies) and The Temperature Hero, Dégel. They also work at UA as teachers, as the Combat and Literature Teachers respectively.

Deathmask and Aphrodite are actually friends with Koda, who they met because of Deathmask’s father when they were 7. They get along surprisingly well despite the obvious personality differences. (And on that note, NO Deathmask and Aphrodite don’t bully Koda. Yes, they tease him occasionally but no bullying).

Shaka has an albino cat named Lotus, who is rather protective of her. Lotus has a Quirk by the name of “Phantom”, which gives him the same abilities as the namesake. Lotus can also be a mischievous little shit to those he dislikes and also has the unwanted habit of following Shaka to school w/o her knowing until he does something. Aizawa is one of the few teachers Lotus actually likes.

Mu has a Pigmy Goat named Kaiju that has the Quirk called “Macro and Micro”, which allow him to change his size. Kaiju doesn’t use his Quirk often, but he is very handy in most situations. Just don’t do anything to make Kaiju mad.

Dohko and Shiryu have two dogs. The first is a service dog nicknamed “Pal”, he’s a rather intelligent purebred poodle. The other is a Jack Russell Terrier named Wishbone. Both have Quirks that developed a year after they became part of the family.

Aldebaran is oddly observant due to his Mum being a Psychologist. His Father works in construction with Ochoco’s family, so he’s been friendly with her long b4 UA. Ochaco’s nickname for Aldebaran has always been “Kuma-kun” while his nickname for her is “Coco-kun”.

Shura’s folks are employed in jobs that oddly conflicts with their personalities yet they’re good at their chosen careers. So Shura knows a lot of “OoC Facts” about those things.

Aioria and Aioros have gotten better at telling their parents apart over the years, but they never enjoy explaining their family dynamics to others. Poor Seiya still has trouble telling his Dad and Uncle apart.

Saga and Kanon get a lot of strange admirers that they like to keep at a distance. Momoma accidentally ends up in that category after the Twins “caught” him with a rather “specific” doujinshi about them. Momoma has been trying to explain that situation to them since then but neither Saga nor Kanon want to be near him long enough for him to try.

Inko is relieved that Izuku has so many friends that care about him even though he doesn’t have a Quirk.

Izuku has been trying to get the hang of his “Wisdom of Athena” Quirk since it manifested. Hasn’t had much luck until a certain event b4 UA.

And the Room Falls Silent

For kids, turning four was the year that would make or break them. In a hero-based society, quirks dictated worth.

Izuku’s life was considered over the moment he was confirmed to be quirkless. After losing everyone who cared for him and being bullied by those he was close with for everything he said or did, Izuku shut down.

Izuku developed symptoms of a severe social phobia at the ripe age of six. Inko was shattered, watching as her brilliant and bright child faded away. Not only did she start getting reports from the school that Izuku wasn’t speaking at all, he no longer talked with her.

Midoriya pointed and shook his head to speak. With the silence, Izuku started to cry a lot more. Despite all of that, Izuku did technically speak every day. It was only one phrase. Inko could barely hear it with Izuku's face buried in her shoulder.

“I love you, Mom.”

Izuku never left the house and strayed far away from the playground after he returned home with bruises one eventful day. Inko didn’t want him to leave anyways. Inko felt better knowing he was safe at home. Even after Izuku went completely mute at six, he still had aspirations to become a hero. He continued his hobby of writing in his notebooks and buying All Might merchandise.

Izuku's shut-in habits carried on for the rest of elementary all the way through middle school. Izuku had no friends and he didn’t bother trying to pursue having a social life. Having no distractions allowed him to focus on school. He had the highest score in his class for a reason. He often tied with Katsuki for first place in terms of intelligence. Katsuki didn’t like that.

Even if Izuku admired Katsuki from afar, he never let his biggest bully notice. Izuku avoided Katsuki to the best of his ability. Even if Izuku made effort to stay away, Katsuki chased. He'd never admit it, but he stalked Izuku.

Katsuki hadn't planned on spying on Izuku in the beginning. He assumed Izuku was ignoring him to act higher than him. Then it turned into spying. It was a shock to Katsuki after following Izuku, to find seeing that he refused to speak to anyone. If necessary, he’d use sign language to convey a message or write it down.

Once it became clear to Katsuki that Izuku was mute and not ignoring him, the situation shifted a bit. Suddenly he waited for the moment when he'd hear Midoriya's voice again. He wanted to know if it deepened or if it was still high-pitched and girly. Soon it sank in that he'd most likely never hear Midoriya's voice again.

In most of their classes, when you were called on, you answered the question on the board. You didn’t have to really say it out loud unless it was necessary for the subject matter. Izuku was able to get through school with close to no problems. He endured the bullying and pushed forward.

Inko had done her best to help. She tried everything in the book: speech therapy and child psychologists, and she sought out a pediatrician. Not much could be done. She tried all the tricks they offered her: shaping, self-modeling, and the list goes on.

It became clear the trigger of it was bullying and the traumatizing experience he endured at the ripe age of four. His dreams were shattered and everyone turned their back on him at a time when he needed support the most.

Izuku did see a therapist to open up about his bullying, but still only ever used sign language. When Izuku was being confronted by his bullies (classmates and teachers) he never once spoke. He had no desire to be a part of the world that surrounded him. He enjoyed submerging himself in the quiet.

Despite the odds, Izuku managed to save Katsuki from the sludge villain and impress Toshinori. Izuku had spoken to Toshinori, feeling safe and excited enough to use his words. Just like that, Izuku was on his way to obtaining the most power quirk to currently exist.

Izuku built a really strong bond with Toshinori, discussing his life and how he was selectively mute. Toshinori was grateful Izuku opened up about his life. While Izuku dedicated ten months to training from U.A. Toshinori dedicated ten months to learning sign language. While he didn’t have to use it to speak to Izuku, he wanted to make it easy for Izuku to talk to him.

Izuku probably had no one in his life that he could easily talk to by using sign. Izuku most likely had to write everything out for people to understand. It wasn’t ideal when he was Izuku’s mentor.

Izuku makes it into U.A. High and kept to himself. On the first day Uraraka thanked Midoriya for saving her. Iida greeted Izuku, beyond impressed with Izuku’s bravery. Izuku made it known he was mute, but he could hear. While it didn’t make them hate him, it kinda created a barrier in terms of communication. Everyone was beyond nice, but Izuku didn’t really click with anyone.

Being the current wielder of One for All, Izuku took control of how to handle his quirk development. As a result, Izuku was more open with Aizawa. He explained that he didn’t have a lot of experience with his quirk. His body had to become strong enough to withstand the tole his quirk would have on him. Aizawa recognized that Izuku had spent his time preparing for his quirk since he couldn’t train something he legitimately couldn’t use.

Aizawa was the second person to earn Izuku’s trust. Izuku still didn’t say more than a few words and he didn't speak to Aizawa if others were present. No other teachers or students had heard Midoriya’s voice.

Kirishima and Todoroki were the first two to hear Midoriya’s voice out of the class. Katsuki was also there, but it was the first time he’d heard Izuku speak since he was six.

It was during the USJ attack. Izuku leaped into action to save Toshinori.

“You stupid villain!”

If it hadn’t been in the heat of the moment, the three would’ve been more surprised by him speaking rather than the fact Izuku was about to die. Katsuki was undeniably unnerved. He was so used to the idea of Izuku’s voice still being exactly how it was nine years ago. It really got to him when Izuku’s voice was significantly deeper and he sounded so angry you could hear the words ripping through his vocal cords.

Then the sports festival came around, it went smoothly at the start. Izuku won the first event, had a great group during the second event, and was now in the final event. Izuku was against Shinso first. Ojiro was very aware Izuku was mute, but he was now aware Izuku could speak if he chose to. After filling in Izuku about Shinso’s ability to brainwash a person once they speak, Izuku thanked Ojiro. It meant a lot to him for Ojiro to seek Midoriya out to help him.

When the round started, Shinso went on a tangent. Izuku listened but ignored the anger that brewed in his gut. Shinso may have been saying those things simply to provoke Izuku, but it was extremely disrespectful for his life story to be assumed by someone he never met before.

Izuku had to fight quirkless considering he could really hurt Shinso if he used his quirk. He couldn't control his output so there was a slim chance he could kill Shinso. So they duked it out. It didn’t take too long for Izuku to knock Shinso out of bounds.

When going against Todoroki, Izuku knew what he was dealing with. Todoroki had told Izuku about his reasons for not using his second quirk: fire.

Midoriya understood what Todoroki was feeling. The effects of how he was treated by being quirkless resulted in a long list of problems. Izuku couldn’t begin to imagine the effects abuse had on him, not to mention the dysfunctional family not providing any help.

Izuku saw past all of that and knew Todoroki needed help. While he wasn’t going to throw away the competition, he wasn’t going to let Todoroki struggle either.

Izuku found himself yelling at Todoroki. Izuku wanted to test the waters, but ultimately just had to push Todoroki’s buttons. Despite the pain both Todoroki and Izuku were enduring from their battle. This match was a lot more than just winning the sports festival.

Then came workplace internships to gain experience. Hosu was under attack and the Stain incident occurred. Izuku managed to become a “true hero” alongside All Might. It was impressive considering Izuku is the second person Stain has claimed to be a true hero. The situation brought Izuku, Todoroki, and Iida closer together.

When final exams rolled around, working with Katsuki to go against Toshinori was a strange situation. Katsuki was still beyond temperamental. Everyone knew the two didn’t along and Katsuki was still hostile towards Izuku. The fight was brutal and the two teens had their air knocked out of their lungs more times than they could count.

Izuku still had yet to speak directly to Katsuki. Katsuki overheard Izuku talking, but Izuku still hadn’t spoken to Katsuki. Imagine his surprise when he is punched in his puke-covered face by Izuku to hear his yelling.

“Don’t you dare say you’d rather lose!”

The final exams ended and summer arrived. Summer would've gone great yet their "summer vacation: went horribly wrong. The league of villains decided to ambush the teens.

Izuku hadn't spoken the entire trip until he was alone with Kota. He hated seeing Kota give up on the world just like he did. After all the child was only five. In hopes to change Kota’s fate, he spoke up.

“If you reject it that harshly, the only person getting hurt is yourself,” explained Izuku, patient with the kid who had an explosive personality like Katsuki.

While Kota didn’t react well to Izuku’s advice, he was enraptured by Izuku’s voice. When he kicked Midoriya in the balls, Mandalay shunned him but also revealed Midoriya was mute.

Muscular appears and he is out for blood. Muscular tried to kill Kota and Izuku was not going to let it happen. In a fit of panic and rage, Izuku screamed out. Seeing Kota use his quirk in desperation ignited a fire in him.

“As if… I’d let you kill him!”

Not even moments later, Katsuki was kidnapped and in the midst of despair, Izuku couldn’t stop the scream that echoed through the forest. That also didn’t stop his scream that conjoined with the crowds in the final battle between All Might and All for One. It seemed as if the world was coming back together just to fall apart again.

During the provisional hero license exam, Izuku once again had to scream. It was targeted at Todoroki and Yoarashi for almost getting Shindo killed.

“Dammit! What are you two doing!”

Izuku’s blunt choice of words helped the two get their asses back into order and focus on the mission at hand. Soon enough the provisional hero license exam ended and the results were in.

While Todoroki and Katsuki were away for their required remedial course, Izuku would face his biggest battle yet. Alongside the big three, a handful of his classmates, and some pro heroes, Izuku was to rescue a wonderful girl name Eri and help defeat the villain Overhaul.

Izuku was a lot more vocal in this fight for Eri’s sake. Despite his mind holding him back at the thought of others hearing, he shut it down and kept his focus on Eri. Nothing matter except saving Eri. Calling out to Eri was the most freeing and horribly exhilarating thing.

After recovery and returning back to school, it was time to prepare for the school festival. For a bit, things were perfect. Izuku could fall back into the shadows and relax. He didn’t have to speak and could enjoy time with Mirio and Eri.

Eri was amazed that Izuku was selectively mute. That meant she was super special for Izuku to have spoken to her. Izuku was fond of her reaction, flashing her a bright smile.

One weekend class 1-A wanted to go to the mall. Aizawa decided it was also the perfect time to show Eri the outside world. Eri stuck with Izuku, missing him from not seeing him much after the school festival.

Todoroki and Katsuki for some odd reason were the two that wandered around Izuku. You could blame their curiosity on Eri. She was stuck on his hip yet they had no idea how she knew Izuku. The mission Izuku was a part of was confidential.

Things never went smoothly with class 1-A. Aizawa had taken Eri for a bit while Izuku went to the bathroom. Despite his keen eye, Aizawa lost Eri. Izuku knew something fishy was happening. The last time he was in the mall, he was attacked by Shigaraki.

Half of the class stayed inside the mall while the other half was to observe the outside in case she wandered off far. Izuku, Todoroki, and Katsuki are stationed outside. Izuku was on the top floor of the mall, running around on the catwalk.

Izuku has no clue where to look or what to do. The panic settled in and people were everywhere. While everything in his head is screaming at him to return to the quiet and retreat, Izuku talked a deep breath and calls out into the world.

“Eri-chan!”

Izuku was turning around in circles, his mind reeling at the fact she could be anywhere. Todoroki and Katsuki heard Izuku call out and started head over. While they were trying to get to Izuku, Izuku spotted something out of the ordinary.

A car was approaching. Whoever was at the wheel drove sporadically. Taking a look at the diver, he immediately recognized the man as a villain. Seeing no one was in the car, Izuku went to work.

Stepping onto the railing, Izuku jumped off and down a level. Izuku ran forward, launching himself down the building. Once reaching the ground, Izuku landed right before the speeding car. Katsuki was blasting his way over, screaming for Izuku to get out of the way. From his view, the driver was now trying to swerve out of the way, but they weren’t going to make it.

Todoroki was sending out ice, trying to build an ice barrier between Izuku and the car. Despite their worries, Izuku had it under control. Izuku turned away from the car, drew back his leg, and t-boned the car with a single kick.

Katsuki and Todoroki stilled, seeing Izuku demolish the car with ease. When the two caught up to Izuku, they soon realized this was going to be the getaway driver. Moments later Aizawa alerts everyone Eri was found and the villain was arrested. Todoroki informs Aizawa about what happened and another police officer was sent their way.

Izuku and Eri were reunited. Eri jumped into Izuku’s arms and Izuku rested her on his hip. When the police came for a statement, Izuku grabbed a pen and wrote it down. He was not in the mood to talk.

Todoroki had no problem with Izuku’s silence and sighed to himself. “I thought you were going to die back there.”

“Yeah! What the hell was that nerd! Trying to get yourself killed?” shouted Katsuki.

Izuku smirked at the two before shrugging and walking away with Eri. While Katsuki was left standing there with a pissed frown, Todoroki mindlessly followed after his friend with a smile.

Silence was a bitch.

The end!

Prompt

Yandere Crossover

Deku seems to go a new stalker in Harley. He came to stop villains from robbing a building on the roof, instead he catches the clown princess disposing of them. She doesn't care about Mr. J anymore, but Mr. D is a different story. She points out that she wants him badly and has learned everything about him, including his identity, Izuku Midoriya. She is a former psychologist, and she is ready to be his doctor of love.

I am twisted in love and madness

Obsession.

"Oh my Kami-Sama...." Izuku said in a horrified tone as he saw the badly mutilated corpses of the B-Rank villains missing limbs, head crushed, and unspeakable acts that made the young hero-in-training green and weak in the stomach from the sight.

"Hiya, Mr.D~" Harley greeted to the shell-shocked Izuku, covered in blood and gore from the group of villains she recently murdered as she toss the corpse of the female villain to the side.

"W-What d-did you do t-them...." Izuku asked in fear as he step back in fear and trauma, scared beyond reason, especially when he saw the murderous ex-psychologist who was walking up to him with a insane smile.

"I am so glad that you've arrive for your love session from Dr. Harleen Quinzel, Mr.D or Izuku Midoriya. Son of Hiashi Midoriya and Inko Midoriya nee Kawakami." Harley said, revealing information about him and the amorous intent she hold for him causing the green-haired successor to feel pure unadulterated fear and dread from the crazed supervillain.

Boku no Hero Academia

I think the disappointment is greater because this series used to be genuinely good, even with a few hiccups and the odd crack in the storytelling here and there, like nobody questioning what the fuck was the deal with Midoriya's Quirk during the fight against Shoto.

It wasn't all bad, of course. The highlights of the series, even in its decline, were the 'Plus Ultra' moments for our main cast and some of the secondary characters. In fact, the less time had been allotted to a character before, the more likely they were to benefit, as there was nothing to break (Koda and Shoji). And yet... if the foundation is fucked, if the setting is being ignored just to advance hype payoffs...

It's a shame that everything began to crumble, the moment Deku started unlocking extra Quirks. Suddenly, the series no longer had the balance it built its foundations on, the setting just let things skim on by. And maybe I shouldn't be playing art psychologist for Horikoshi, but the way things went with fucking All For One, really makes me wonder when it was that the guy started regretting making an X-Men style superhero series, and not a high fantasy manga. Because that's what BNHA became by the end, where Quirks were just magical powers that could do whatever the fuck the author wanted.

I don't know if Horikoshi is entirely to blame (saying the series would end in 2022 definitely was a telltale sign), or if it was a matter of editorial meddling forcing the series to rush into action and getting more bombastic (and the artwork getting more borked at several instances, where you couldn't even tell what the fuck was happening on some panels). But it's apparent that this series went the way of Bleach, by eschewing depth,consistent character work and carefully-crafted plotlines, at the altar of Rule of Cool. With Deku/Izuku Midoriya being the main sacrificial lamb. At the very least, I'm glad that they didn't just let the bittersweet cliché stand (albeit begrudgingly), because it would've made zero fucking sense with all the crazy bullshit that had been established.

What a letdown, even though the series has one of my favorite characters in fiction...

[doomfisthero]

Dads for Deku: Day 1

Prompt: Hugs or Headpats (Hound Dog, Shishido, Selkie, Gang Orca, other Mutant Heroes)

Setting: Mutant!Izuku AU

As soon as the doors to the banquet hall opened up, Izuku could tell that Gang Orca had spared no expense in assembling everything. The lights high above cast the walls into a golden glow, settling gently upon the darkly decorated room in which Heroes of so many aberrant shapes congregated. The soft classical music that lilted through the air, combined with the sharp dress code that every guest was expected to abide by, firmly established the event as “high-class.”

Izuku shuddered in his tuxedo, struggling not to mumble or run his fingers nervously through his hair. His first Mutant Homecoming – he'd expected to wait much longer, if he was ever so lucky. He'd almost declined Nedzu's offer, but having Hound Dog and Power Loader-sensei with him took away some of the edge.

Still, they'd refused to answer his longstanding questions about the event, admitting that there was something of an unspoken agreement among the Heroes not to spoil it for anyone.

Power Loader noticed Izuku's stress and gave him a firm pat on the back. “Breathe, kid. This is something you should try to enjoy,” he said. “You might just be the youngest guest of honor we've ever had. Lot of people here are excited to meet you in person.”

Izuku swallowed. “W-what if they're disappointed? Or-or if they don't want me here?”

“Then they can keep quiet,” Hound Dog growled. “Orrr else they'll be chased out.”

Izuku tried to take some comfort in that as his teachers guided him inside. The air was cooler on his crimson scales in here than outside; he tried not to shiver, either from the temperature or from the dread of running into whoever recognized him first.

It was quick when it happened – the Lion Hero Shishido appeared from thin air and engaged Hound Dog in prodding banter, then glanced downward from the corner of his feline eye and caught the little lizard standing next to him. “Say, Inui, no one said you'd be bringing a student along. Going soft, old dog?” He said, flashing Hound Dog a wicked, fang-filled grin.

If Hound Dog's hackles raised at all, he didn't show it. The Hunting Hero merely snorted and patted Izuku softly on the head. “Idiot. Didn't anyone tell you who the guest of honor was tonight? This student of mine is Midoriya Izuku.” He glanced down at Izuku. “You know Shishido, I assume?”

Izuku's mouth went dry as he nodded, then remembered a moment later to bow low. “Y-yes! I'm sorry I didn't say anything. It's a pleasure to meet you, Shishido-san! You're--” Izuku cut his babbling off before either of his teachers could do it.

Shishido's wild expression turned to surprise, and then his terrifying smile slid open again. “You're Midokage, kid?” He asked, using the silly name that Izuku had created for himself long ago – his surname plus hitokage, meaning 'salamander'. He didn't look annoyed as Izuku expected, or disinterested or disapproving or like he thought the high schooler before him was a 'fake Mutant'.

It was a little hard to tell, but as Izuku met his gaze, the Lion Hero looked...almost happy. The loud guffaw he let out as he descended upon Izuku didn't help.

“Damn, it's really you, huh?! You're a little guy, ain'tcha?” Shishido growled, tussling Izuku's hair with a gruff but affectionate paw. “Here I thought Nedzu was just shooting shit!”

As the cavalcade of fellow Heroes slowly took notice and descended upon Izuku, Hound Dog and Power Loader stood back and watched with tickled expressions – as tickled as either of their irritated demeanors ever seemed.

Centipeder slipped through the crowd and took Izuku's hand in a glove. “I hope you're doing well, Midoriya. I never expected to see you as tonight's guest!”

Iida Tensei rolled up in his chair and gave Izuku a weary but warm smile. “I'm really happy to see you tonight, Izuku! Tenya wouldn't stop talking about you. He sounded like he was proud, but I think he wishes he could have come too. Either way, it's good to see you!”

Gunhead gave Izuku's hand a delighted shake. “Wow, I can't believe it's really you, Midoriya! I still remember the first time you wrote to me, when I was starting out on my own. You just made me feel so seen. I still have all of your messages!”

Selkie lifted Izuku off the ground and crushed the boy to his chest. “Hah, you kept us all waiting, you damn tease! Can't believe I almost skipped this year, when I could've missed ya!”

Uwabami looked Izuku from hair to shoes and back again. “Well, you've certainly got your boyish cuteness down pat. You'd provide some excellent name recognition for my Mutant Collection, you know? Give me a call sometime.”

One of Hawks' sidekicks – attending on his behalf – told Izuku that his boss was proud to meet another promising young Mutant. It took the green-haired lizard several moments to come back down to Earth.

Godzillo knelt down and patted Izuku's head with a claw so large it covered him entirely. “It's always good to meet a fan, especially one as prevalent as you. I'm glad I had the chance to speak with you while I was here.”

Takahiro, young as he was, bounded forward and hugged Izuku tight. “Hey, you don't know how much it's helped having you cheering me on. Sometimes it feels like it's just me against the world...But you make me feel like the greatest Hero in Japan. Let's rap together sometime, okay?”

As the night wore on, Izuku's attitude slowly shifted from fear to excitement to a calm engagement with the Heroes around him. So young, and yet already so much of the Mutant community was embracing him. It made Hound Dog and Power Loader quietly pleased to see him so comfortable in his own skin.

(Scales, as it were.)

As if timing his appearance for the greatest impact, Gang Orca himself didn't engage Izuku until well into the night, when it was finally time for the boy's formal acknowledgment. He waited until the night's guest of honor walked anxiously onstage and then the Killer Whale Hero loomed suddenly over him. Even with how many people he'd met tonight, Izuku's stomach couldn't help but flutter as he looked up into that villainous face.

“Midoriya,” Gang Orca began, Izuku's chest vibrating from the rumbling bass. “I'm sure you're well-versed in my career by this point. You know how difficult it's been for Mutants like me, like many of us, to progress against a society that sees us as monsters.”

Hesitantly, Izuku nodded. “Yes...but it's gotten better, hasn't it? Especially because of you. You...you've paved the way for other Mutants to become Heroes just like you.”

Gang Orca hums, arms still folded across his bulky chest. “It has improved, you're correct. But there are still too many people who cling to those outdated views of humanity. They persist on causing pain and dragging the world back to what they deem is acceptable.” He paused, as for effect. “That's why we chose to have you, Midoriya. There isn't a Mutant Hero or sidekick in this room that you haven't given support, be it in their first steps or their darkest hours.”

“In the whole country!” Someone shouted from the crowd. People laughed. Even Gang Orca's lip quirked.

“Regardless...” Gang Orca said, quieting everyone. “Midoriya Izuku. Midokage. For over a decade you've shown exemplary support for the Mutant community and proven yourself an essential pillar toward civilians and Heroes alike. Tonight, we are all honored to have you with us and express our gratitude to you firsthand.”

Izuku barely heard the applause as Gang Orca shook his small hand in a far larger grip. Even though the Killer Whale Hero famously resembled a Villain, in that moment his proud eyes and genuine, warm smile made him seem like the greatest Hero in the world.

“And thank you from myself as well, Midoriya,” Gang Orca added softly. He released Izuku's hand and – to the boy's surprise – rested his massive palm gently upon his head. “To all of us, you are our Hero.”

And as Izuku struggled not to cry, even as his grin threatened to light the night singlehandedly, his teachers watched on with their own gratitude borne close to their hearts.

Whisper - K. Bakugo

MDNI | tw! angst, implied smut, suicide, y/n has an unspecified illness, sad boi hours, dark ending 🖤

The stars illuminate the night sky, pouring through the windowpane onto the bed where Katsuki lies awake and misses you. It’s eerily quiet in the home—a kind of soundless horror that makes his ears burn. The silence wasn’t so bad until he looked at his hands and started to feel sad because the spaces between his fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.

He’s thinking of the day you met; the same day his life went up in flames.

Katsuki hasn’t always been a good man. It’s taken years for him to get to a place where he could move on from the man who he once was, went out of his way to apologize to the ones that he once hurt. Deku had forgiven him—had told him that past should remain there, and they should move on as friends and equals. It was supposed to be that way; it looked so on the surface, but there was always an edge to Izuku’s smile whenever Katsuki achieved something that was unsettling. He tried to tell himself that it was all in his mind. Izuku is his friend now—he’s been forgiven. Or so he thought … because he’d never expect to find Izuku in bed with his fiancé on the same day as his debut as a full-fledged hero.

He was a wreck—didn’t know what to do or where to go. All he knew is that he didn’t want to be home, and as if by magic a solution appeared. Roommate wanted—move in today!!** Katsuki called the number on the flyer and was surprised when met with your sweet voice. He didn’t know if it would be smart to be roommates with some strange girl especially given the circumstances. It seemed a bit unethical, but you assured him that it was fine, claiming that you weren’t worried cause there’s nothing that could hurt you at this point. He didn’t pry. If you had some issues, it surely wasn’t his business. But when he saw you, he started to reconsider—

You didn’t look good.

Well, that’s a bad way to put it. You were beautiful—long braids, chubby cheeks, dazzling eyes and a bright smile, but he wouldn’t be much of a hero if he couldn’t recognize a sick person. Though your eyes shone bright they were rimmed with dark circles. Though your voice was light he could hear the slight wheeze at the end of each word—as if speaking took your breath away. Though you were animated and bubbly—your movements were slow and careful, as if you didn’t want to upset some kind of injury. He really didn’t want to pry but why the hell was a sickly girl letting some strange man move in with her? He could be a psycho serial killer—even told you this but you just laughed, joking that he couldn’t kill you if he tried. You explained your situation and it was kind of a sad story.

 Your quirk was complex, it was called Whisper—it allows you to manipulate feelings and leave impressions on people and places, you could also sense fluctuations in emotion; it was a handy quirk to have as a psychologist which is what you were studying at grad school. You were set to graduate in a year and things were fine, but you were in a rough spot because your boyfriend left. You’d been sick your whole life and it’s only gotten worse as time progressed. It’s hard to control your quirk when you’re feeling low and sometimes it flares out of control which imposes the pain that you’re feeling on others. You’ve lost friends and a lover because they couldn’t stand being burdened by you. So now you were left in an apartment that you couldn’t afford on your own because you weren’t physically able to pick up a job outside of school.

His heart broke for you. He didn’t think that it was possible for anyone to be having a worse day than him, but you won that hands down. This made you laugh—a really loud rib clutching snort that made Katsuki smirk until you doubled over in pain. He rushed towards you and helped you settle on the couch. You tried to push him off and apologize for exerting your horrible quirk already in the twenty minutes that you’d known him. Katsuki quirked a brow saying that he didn’t feel anything, too which you tilted your head to the side and said “weird”.

That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. You were a breath of fresh air for Katsuki. Unlike his ex that was attention seeking and superficial—you were kind and caring, always checking in to make sure that he was doing okay. Always fixing him tea, listening to him vent, being a shoulder to cry on, offering a facetious joke about your illness in attempts to cheer him up. He always scolded you for this, told you that you didn’t have to be strong for him all the time. He wanted to take care of you too.

And he’s convinced that your ex is just some piece of shit liar because he’s never felt your quirk and he’s found you really sick a few times. One time was really bad and he spent the whole night watching your breathing because he was afraid that you might slip way away. Your smile when you woke up the next morning in his arms breathtaking. It was in that moment he knew that he was in love with you.

God—things were going so well! You seemed to be getting better. Stronger. Yeah, you still had your nights when you’d open the balcony doors and stare up at the stars, crying because you felt like something was wrong with you, but Katsuki would wrap his arms around your waist and nuzzle his face in your neck, telling you that you were perfect.

And one day he just couldn’t take it anymore. The two of you had been living together for almost a year and Bakugo felt like his heart would explode if he didn’t tell you how he felt and thank God you felt the same. You kissed him so sweetly, tears spilling onto the shirt that was clutched into your chunky little fingers. Katsuki wanted you so bad, but he was afraid that he’d hurt you. But you being you reminded him of what you said on the day that you’d met and pulled him into his bedroom.

The night was magical—more than sex. Katsuki could only describe it as an outer body experience. It was like he could finally feel your quirk but it didn’t cause him pain, he felt nothing but peace and joy. So, of course he was surprised when he woke up to an empty bed. The silence unsettled him; you’d always told him that silence wasn’t so bad but this felt different. He called out to you and got no response. His hands started to shake. He called again afraid to move because he didn’t know what too expect. After an agonizing five minutes he crept out into the living room but there was no trace of you except for a steaming mug of tea on the kitchen counter. He went to your room, but you weren’t there. Nothing was there. Schoolbooks, laptop, pictures of the two of you… it was all gone. He panicked. Did you leave him? Why? Did he hurt you? WERE YOU AT THE HOSPITAL? Katsuki was frantic, he didn’t know what do so he called his mentor/boss Best Jeanist who told him that he’d put out an APB with the local force.

Best Jeanist called five minutes later, and Katsuki could barely answer the phone because his hands were shaking so bad.

“Bakugo…can you come to the agency?”

His heart dropped.

“Fuck no! I’m not leaving until I know where she is—I have to be here when she gets back!”

A long pause.

“Bakugo… I don’t know what’s going on exactly but she’s dead” .

There are no words to describe the state of his heart. It felt like he’d imploded. Tears fell freely and he sobbed, momentarily forgetting about the phone call. He did hurt her. He pushed her too far. She must’ve tried to go to the hospital alone and just….

“W-where is she? Need to see her.”

Another pause.

“That’s why I’m confused Bakugo … because Y/N L/N jumped from her balcony a year ago today”.
