I uh. I forgot to reblog the "who do you think is in this scene NOW" poll so it only got paltry votes, and then I thought hey. It would be fun to run this after every non-backstory chapter. For me. So that's what I'm gonna do.

The Burden Easy: Crew & Izzy + Omegaverse (5/15)

Summary:

Bitching is one of the worst things a person can do to a fellow human being, tantamount to rape even if they don't force a mating bond while they're at it. The transition is painful, the dominance of the act humiliating, but beyond that an alpha who is forced to become an omega will almost always succumb to dysphoria and despair and, unless prevented, will take their own life.

But Izzy's always been a fucking contrarian. He's gonna be just fine.

CONTENT WARNINGS TYPICAL TO THE GENRE APPLY

Excerpt:

The Captain of the Revenge is a specter, a poltergeist, the leftover impression of the monster he still professes himself to be and to have always been. Most of the time the only evidence of his presence on board is the fear of the men thick in the air as they wait for him to make his next physical appearance. There's no guarantee he will or won't show himself, except for the daily raid. Izzy himself grudgingly obeys Frenchie's order to hang back until his transition finishes and he can stand for more than twenty minutes without bursting into tears or vomiting over the rail. As such, he's cursed to watch Edward stand completely still in the middle of every battle, weapons down at his sides if not completely holstered, finishing off any man who falls already defeated into his range with dull, dead-eyed indifference. Porcelain and pearls crunch under Izzy's weight as he finds the best of the vantage points he can still reach, gun out, hoping the way his hands shake now won't have him shoot through the wrong skull if someone goes for Ed like it almost seems he wants them to. When Edward haunts the deck off-raid, Izzy is a ghost to him too. A shadow. A dead thing lingering, invisible, desperate, and pathetic, past the ending of its life. Izzy continues to live and change, whether Edward deigns to see him or not. His own altered scent frequently chokes him - a strange lightened up and sweetened doppelganger of his old scent with hints of the same twisted mirror of Ed's, the alpha who injected part of his body into Izzy's to change it on his fucking whim. Who made Izzy his bitch and then didn't even claim him even though Izzy immediately went into fucking heat for him. Now Izzy stinks of that, will be identifiable forever by how Edward doesn't respect him and doesn't want him either.

MHA 404 AND BUTTERFLIES??

Came back from the dead after reeling at the 404 leaks. I've mentioned previously before that my fics have been able to predict some really uncanny things and I've experienced some really eery coincidences. It was usually One Piece and less BNHA, but these days I've seen some major coincidences (the last big one being fucking Gearshift being called Overdrive. OVERDRIVE?! That's been Kana's Quirk name since 2018-2019, and they even operate similarly! I'm gonna start charging Oda and Horikoshi, frfr.) (And if you don't believe me, you can go through my old notes because I've written about this for years before any of the relevant chapters were released).

404's less of a prediction but a huge callback. A Place Where the Chrysanthemums Bloom's original title, if you just scroll a bit, was acronymed as 'TBE.'

TBE = The Butterfly Effect

Kana's flower motif, the fact that her original last name was 'Papillon' and her parents' hero names being Papillon (=butterfly in French) was all because the story was originally called 'The Butterfly Effect' and how one small action cascades into something massive for Kana, her friends, and the heroes around her.

The fact that 404 is a complete callback to how I began this story in 2019 is extremely bittersweet and I just feel so warm with how amazing this journey has been. These huge coincidences actually feel insane as a writer, and a part of me feels frustration because if I published my story first, these coincidences would've made reading my fics such an amazing experience (like could you imagine if I was deep into writing the first war arc and all of a sudden Gearshift-Overdrive was revealed?!). But I think these coincidences are happy coincidences for the most part or at least an acknowledgement from the world that we were on the right path. These moments are so precious to me and part of why I love writing OC-fics.
