Technically an OC fic that's not Resistance-based-
Involves:
Yoichi singing the American anthem to make a baby sleep. It's the only song he ever heard on the radio, and it actually works
Kudo throwing a baby Factor over the edge to kick them out of the void because Bruce wouldn't do it
Bruce felt himself wither and die a bit more at what was expected of him.
Kudo rolled his eyes. "If you're not going to do it-"
"Second, don't you dare-"
"Kudo," Yoichi tried.
"I will," he finished, heaving her up by the back of her onesie like she were a trash bag. Raising her up to eye level, he did a brief three-finger salute.
Her head was too heavy, and neck too weak, for her to look anywhere but at his feet, biting her gums onto her little knuckles. She had no idea what this man was about to do to her.
"Hasta la Vista, kiddo. Enjoy your last seconds of life."
"KUDO!!!"
En speedrunning the marriage process because his friend wanted to (both ace, it's a QP relationship)
"Sorahiko-senpai, give me the marriage certificate," En nearly hissed over their burgers.
Sorahiko chewed slowly. "Why?"
"I'm about to set the world record for fastest divorce—!!!"
Quirk bullcrap where the story focuses on what happens if a Quirk Singularity can't adjust, and how Factors are their own personality.
AKA, when a Quirk Singularity is in a normal person, and not like OFA or AFO.
Gran Torino is bad at relationship advice
"In my experience, which is none—"
Aizawa has problem children (definitely plural) acting out on day 1
Aizawa slammed the door open.
"Hi, Shouta!" she waved, a raging blonde stuck to the classroom wall and screaming up a storm. The first day had barely started, too. "Fancy seeing you here-!"
Aizawa slammed the door shut.
Setting up a Monopoly game for the vestiges to play
"I want the doggy."
"I want the doggy!"
Kudo didn't even blink. "Shut up, Fifth, Yoichi gets the dog."
###
She looked at Midoriya, who suddenly went quiet. His expression was a bit cowed, staring blankly at the tiny player pieces.
"What?"
"Ah..." His head jolted, called to attention. His head immediately fell down a bit as he admitted, a bit awkwardly, "They're, fighting over the doggy..."
###
"Yoichi grew up with nothing. Are you really going to deprive this orphan of even a playing piece?"
"Are you seriously playing the pity card right now?!"
"I'll play any card to let Yoichi have what little he never got when he was alive,” Kudo sniffed, arms crossed. “I may have been a murderer, but wow. I never took you for a heartless monster, Fifth."
"Guys," Shinomori spoke up quietly, completely ignored and otherwise unheard underneath their spreading bickering, "it's just a board game..."

Me as a teenager before I read about Egypt and Old Egypt: Oh, that's neat, Presly is a reborn prince.
Me after reading up: Oh. Oh dear. Something went deeply wrong since Rapses' soul is still on Earth rather than in the Afterlife!
I KNOW RIGHT!!
I need to rewatch the full series again (because I am to the point that I am starting to conflate details from the original canon and my own canon) but I'm certain that it's implied that Scarab went full "Set with Osiris' corpse" on Rapses' corpse (maybe to get at Rapses' now trapped soul after Scarab killed him, or to spite Amenhotep and the Guardians' efforts by denying Rapses his eternal rest), which is why Amenhotep had nothing to bury but an empty sarcophagus :(
Making sure that the body is properly mummified and buried is a BIG STINKING DEAL in ancient Egypt and if the body was lost or destroyed then the spirit wouldn't be able to find its way! Destroying the body (or the khat, as it was referred to) is like smashing the spirit's compass to pieces! It can't pass into the afterlife and become lost without the familiar touchstone of its earthly body!
(Honestly, really makes me wonder about what the procedure was for war times because I doubt the war dead could always be found, identified, and mummified before burial. Did ancient Egypt have their own version of dog tags? Did their beliefs have a loophole/special exception for dead soldiers whose bodies couldn't be recovered or treated? Were they just screwed if no one recovered their body before decomposition set in or the scavengers got to it? Another avenue of research to add to the ever growing pile, I suppose)
This is what I interpret to be the reason that Rapses' spirit wandered for so long. Poor boy was super lost!
So lost that he somehow managed to wander clear to the other side of the world and end up reincarnated in modern times. (Honestly, I'm unclear about how ancient Egyptian mythos regarded the idea of reincarnation. I'll have to do further research but I don't have time rn sadly, but from what I do know, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility)
