Hi, I'm Twilla and I'm currently in the process of writing a ShigaDeku Dystopia/Soulmate AU fic that no one, and I mean literally NO ONE, asked for! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why do I always join fandoms late and why do I always somehow end up loving/shipping the rarepairs in fandoms that barely anyone likes or wants to read about lmao? 🥺👉👈
I just finished reading the latest manga chapter, watched all six seasons, and binged all three movies. I am absolutely BURSTING with ideas of where I want this story to go. I want to at least post the first chapter by the time ShigaDeku Week 2024 is here next month. :)
In my fic timeline, the MHA canon story line doesn't happen until Class 1-A's third year, and since my story is set six years after their graduation, most of the main characters are in their mid to late twenties. My story starts after the Quirk Affliction, a strange illness that begins killing off Quirk-users all around to world, resulting in a massive a death toll that causes civilized society to collapse.
Anyways, here's the general synopsis:
The Final War was over before it had even begun. With the onset of the Quirk Affliction, a mysterious illness that disproportionately targeted the Quirks of heroes over the Quirks of villains, the world was left defenseless as it plunged into a new era of chaos and devastation.
It’s been six years since the onset of the Affliction and the death of All Might. Six years since the world’s heroes, and the society they desperately fought to protect, have crumbled into dust in Shigaraki Tomura’s hands.
From the ashes of this destruction, Japan’s new regime was born. The country was split into three territories, each with its own Grand Commander, united in nothing save for one singular rule: life for those who submit, and death for those who do not.
As Grand Commander of the largest and most plentiful of Japan’s territories, Shigaraki has lived the last six years reaping the fruits of his labors and taking pride in helping his Sensei accomplish his dream. But as of late, Tomura has been having strange dreams of his own: hazy memories of an abandoned park, of blooming wisteria trees, of laughter and freckles and forest green eyes.
Midoriya Izuku, now Quirkless due to the Affliction, has not stopped his pursuit of helping others, despite the world — and everything in it — turning itself upside down. Izuku dreams of a brighter future, and strangely enough, dreams of his long-lost childhood friend, Shimura Tenko.
The same Tenko that Izuku had unknowingly befriended as a young boy. The same Tenko who’d stopped him from jumping off the rooftop all those years ago. The same Tenko that, Izuku realized with horror, was now the monster known as Shigaraki Tomura.
Unfortunately, Izuku learns all too late that having a Soulbond with the King of Villains comes with a heavy cost. Shigaraki seems hell-bent on keeping Izuku as close to him as possible, believing Izuku to be his Soulmate, and thus, Shigaraki’s only true weakness, stirring up an ill-fated romance that neither has prepared themselves for.
As a new calamity encroaches upon them in the form of a mad man attempting to become a god, the heroes and villains must find a way to work together and solve the mystery of the Affliction before it destroys the world and everything they hold dear.
✨ P l e a s e ✨ let me know if you're interested in hearing about this by either, liking, reblogging, or sending me a PM. I'm working really hard to get the first chapter of this out by ShigaDeku Week 2024 in May!
Thank you so much for reading. 💚💚💚

Which of the following ShigaDeku fic ideas sound the most interesting to you?
I have a handful of ShigaDeku fics I've been consistently working on over the past couple of months. I keep switching back and forth and writing out small scenes for each story in order to get a sense of the direction I want to take them in. They're all different flavors of dark romance and hurt/comfort and have great potential. I just can't decide which one I want to write first. Help meeeeeee! 😭😭😭
I need your opinions, ShigaDeku fans! Could you tell me which one of the following story ideas sounds the most interesting or even rate them out of four like 1/4, 2/4, etc. based on your interest? 🥺👉👈
Canon Divergence Soulmate AU
Dark romance, action, hurt/comfort, and psychological drama.
Long-lost childhood friends to mortal enemies to soulmates.
Heroes vs. villains dilemma (fixing systemic issues in hero society together with Hawks + Aizawa + the League of Villains).
Izu and Shiga discovering they're not only childhood friends but also soulmates whose souls are tied to each other for eternity.
Set in canon universe and loosely follows the MHA storyline EXCEPT it actually has a genuinely hopeful ending, gives the League a redemption arc, and achieves lasting changes for society!
Yakuza Stepbrother AU
Dark romance, suspense, hurt/comfort, and crime drama.
Izu and Shiga are stepbrothers through Inko's secret marriage to All For One fifteen years prior to the beginning of the story.
Shigaraki inheritance dilemma (Izu signs away his rights to the fortune away because Inko (on her deathbed) told him to do so in order to protect him from getting involved with mafia drama. Too bad she didn't consider Shiga becoming obsessed with Izu upon meeting him and dragging him into the mafia world anyway). 😅
Yakuza territory war dilemma (because Izu is technically Shiga's stepbrother by marriage, he's threatened strongly encouraged to stay with the Shigaraki family until its safe for him to move out.
Tartarus Rehabilitation AU
Dark romance, thriller, hurt/comfort, and psychological drama.
Izu is a therapist-in-training who believes in rehabilitation for criminals. Shiga is a serial killer incarcerated in Tartarus for going on killing sprees targeting people who are cruel to animals.
Due to one of Izu's co-workers being sick, he's called in to cover for an interview with none other than Shiga himself. By the end of the interview, Shiga becomes infatuated with Izu and refuses to speak to anyone else or release important details about his murders unless Izu is the one questioning him.
Shiga's obsession eventually becomes worse and worse until he breaks out of Tartarus with the help of All For One (because of course he does) and Izu is like, well shit, time to go into hiding!
Paranormal Fantasy AU
Dark romance, paranormal fantasy, hurt/comfort, and horror.
Izu is a mystic who specializes in healing medicine for immortal beings like vampires, lycans, shapeshifters, mages, certain kinds of demons, undead, cursed beings, and of course, all of the supernatural hunters who get hurt keeping these beings in line.
Shiga is a hybrid of unknown origin (haven't decided if he's going to be a half-demon or half-vampire yet) who gets grievously injured one day defending his territory from an opposing coven leader.
Dabi drags Shiga to Izu's remote cottage and demands that the mystics heal his coven leader or he'll slaughter him right then and there. Izu, never being able to deny someone in need of healing, decides that he'll heal Shiga as long as his coven provides protection while he stays in their territory, and Dabi agrees.
Over the course of a week, Shiga stays in Izu's cottage with him as Izu slowly uses his magic to heal Shiga's wounds. Shiga spends the entire time obsessively taking in every detail of Izu's life, trying to figure out why he's on the run and how Shiga can make Izu join his coven and make him stay with Shiga forever.
Pretty please let me know which one of these story ideas you liked the most! My ADHD brain is really struggling with which one to go for, so I would really appreciate your opinion on these. 💚💚💚

Writeblr Last Line Tag Game / MHA Fanfiction / ShigaDeku Dystopia AU
@tiny-woooden-robot Omg, I feel so honored to be tagged in my first writing game on my fandom blog! Yay! This was way longer than a last line, but I think that's a good thing, haha.
When Tomura was a boy, he wanted to destroy the world and everything in it.
Then, he met the League, and many things changed.
Whether it was his encounter with Stain, growing closer to his comrades, or conquering the Liberation Army and unlocking the memories holding him back, Tomura wasn't entirely sure what caused the changes.
Simply that they had happened.
Tomura still wanted to destroy heroes, the society that created them, and all the NPC sheep who worshiped them like they were gods. But as he and the League grew and suffered together, Tomura realized he wanted to do more than just destroy everything he hated; he wanted to take the ashes of his conquest and create a world where his companion's dreams could be made into reality.
A world where outcasts like Tomura and his kind no longer had to hide in the bottom rung of society, living, dying, and killing by their own codes in the shadows, surviving off scraps simply to make it to another day. All while heroes were given fame, wealth, and power, so long as they performed the same violence that villains did, the same killing.
The only difference being that one was Commission-sanctioned violence, and the other was not.
But Tomura had changed that. No more false heroes, no more hypocrisy. No more hiding in shadows and living off scraps.
Tomura had accomplished his goal. He'd destroyed what he said he would, and was building a society that celebrated his kind instead of demonizing them. His family deserved more than scraps, and he would ensure they got everything they'd ever dreamed of.
But after that, Tomura decided he was done with big changes; his comrades turned family had softened him up just enough that he thought accomplishing his life goal and making their dreams come true would be enough for his fulfillment.
But then he showed up.
Again.
That naive, self-destructive, green-haired idiot.
The perpetual thorn in his side, fighting him tooth and nail in every way possible, even at the cost of destroying himself. The boy who'd earned Stain's respect and changed so many others, heroes, villains, and civilians alike.
But ultimately, the little fool hadn't been able to stop him. And regardless of the reason he'd shown up this time, Tomura knew one thing for certain: Midoriya Izuku was nothing.
And he would change nothing.
With absolutely no pressure to respond I'll tag @lenniereadsalot @mikeellee @laarbybarbtbox @sendothetaurus (I think you'll like Shiggy's POV)

I'm almost done with the prologue for one of my ShigaDeku fics... would anyone be interested in possibly beta reading it for me? I'd really appreciate it!
It's not super long, maybe like 3,500+ words, but it's an important opening scene where several important plot points are established and I really want to do it right and make it good so it captures my reader's attention. 💚💚💚
It's my own little twist on the infamous mall scene, hehe. 😈
Please PM me or just let me know if you're interested!

Shiga in 99.9% of the scenes I've written for my ShigaDeku Soulmate AU fic, lmao!
He's like… ugh I don't wanna sit through any boring PLF meetings plotting to take control of all Japan, I just wanna grab my green-haired boyfriend/reluctant hostage and run away to my room. Heh.
Anyways! Under the keep reading link below is an excerpt from a flirty, slightly spicy scene between Izu and Shiga that happens later on in my fic. It's where they're past the chaotic, angry, violent 'enemies to lovers' stage of the story and Shiga has just discovered that he can touch/manipulate what I'm calling a 'soul-cord' in my AU, which is basically a spiritual link that connects two soulmate's souls together and helps them find each other.
The idea of a soul-cord comes from the concept of the 'red string of fate' and is basically a floating metaphysical cord/thread/string (not 100% sure what I'm calling it yet) woven from strands of each soulmate partner's soul, binding their destinies together and ensuring that always meet. By default, a soul-cord wraps around each soulmate partner's pinky finger, but this can be changed.
The thing is, with the way I integrated the soulmates trope into this AU along with Quirks, only soulmate partners with Quirks can see/interact with their soul-cords. By the time the main story line comes around, Izu has lost OFA and Shiga still has his Quirk (Decay). So, only Shiga can see/mess around with their soul-cord but both of them can feel it. Which is why Izuku is like, what the actual fuck is going on right now in the scene below lmfao. 🤣
Also, do you think the name 'soul-cord' is a good name for this? Or would 'soul-thread', 'soul-string', 'soul-braid', 'soul-weave', etc. be a more fitting name for it? I wanna know your opinion!
Pretty pretty pretty please let me know what you thought of this scene and if you'd like to see any more ShigaDeku excerpts! If you'd like to be added to the tag list for the story, please like, share, comment, or send me a PM. Thank you for reading! ❤️❤️❤️
Keep reading for 900+ words of flirty, slightly horny ShigaDeku interaction below:
“Is there a problem?” Izuku said, crossing his arms across his chest as he glared up at the other man. Tomura’s attention had been honed in on him since breakfast and Izuku had finally had enough of it. "You’ve been staring at me all morning. If you’ve got something to say to me, either say it or leave me alone."
Tomura leered down at Izuku through a half-lidded gaze, crimson eyes glinting in the soft orange lights of the hallway. Paying explicitly close attention to the way their silvery blue soul-cord looped around Izuku's pale throat over and over and over again, all nice, tight, and pretty. Right where Tomura wanted it. Right where it looked the best: wrapped around Izuku’s pale, freckled neck.
Right where it belongs, Tomura thought possessively, his cock twitching in agreement in his pants. The same it had been doing all morning long, causing him to have to constantly readjust his slacks.
The longer Tomura ogled him, the more Izuku’s frown deepened, and Tomura noticed the younger man’s glare taking on a heatedness that caused the green in his eyes to darken, contrasting beautifully against the silvery blue soul-cord wrapped around his neck.
Oh, yes. Tomura could definitely get used to this sight.
"Just admiring my handiwork," Tomura finally said, offering a wolfish grin with far too many teeth.
"Handiwork? What handiwork?" Izuku asked, brow furrowing with suspicion.
Tomura's only answer was a slight quirk of his lips.
Suddenly, Tomura thought of a wonderful idea, and his grin took on such a quality of wickedness that Izuku was immediately put on guard.
It was never a good sign when Tomura smiled like that. If that manic grin was directed at someone else, it meant someone was about to harassed, maimed, or something much worse. If it was directed at Izuku, it meant Tomura was up to something no good and Izuku, willingly or not, was about to find out exactly what that ‘something’ was.
Tomura backed away from Izuku, watching as the distance between them increased the floating length of their soul-cord. Tomura grasped the slack and gently looped it around his hand multiple times until it was almost completely pulled taut.
“What are you doing?” Izuku looked at Tomura like he’d lost his mind, what with his waving his hand around in the air like a lunatic. “Looks like you’ve finally gone completely insan—"
Without warning, Tomura roughly yanked their soul-cord towards himself, like he was yanking a dog backwards on a leash. Izuku found himself being jerked forward by an unseen force, tripping over his own two feet and nearly tumbling to the floor were it not for him crashing straight into Tomura's chest.
Izuku’s eyes widened in shock. Not only from what had just occurred but from the feeling of something warm, ticklish, and wispy stroking the length of his neck as Tomura made strange hand movements in the air.
Bewildered, Izuku ran his fingers over his Adam’s apple and around the back of his neck, where the warming sensations were the strongest. He grabbed at nothing, could feel nothing, only adding to his growing confusion at what the actual hell was going on. Did Shigaraki get a new Quirk?
Tomura hummed, seemingly delighted. He made another quick hand motion, fingers circling around nothing and making to grab at something in the air before pulling it closer.
Izuku felt it again, even stronger than before. A thick, deliciously warm pressure around his neck, not quite cutting off his air supply but toying the line of doing so. He couldn’t stop the flush from entering his cheeks at their sudden, close proximity, nor the shiver that ran down his spine at the feeling of something so snug and… protective closing in around such a vital part of his body.
Izuku bit his bottom lip, chewing at worryingly.
Tomura ate up the sight of Izuku’s nervous arousal with a quiet sort of hunger. With their soul-cord still looped around his hand, Tomura softly, ever so slightly, pulled it just a bit tighter.
Izuku gasped, pretty green eyes growing to such a comically large degree that Tomura could not help but let out a mean laugh at his expense, entertained by the younger man’s reactions.
“You!” Izuku hissed accusingly, snapping out of his stupor and narrowing his eyes into angry little slits, “What the hell did you do to me!?”
Tomura grin grew so wide and predatory it nearly split his face in half. “Maybe if you’re a good boy today and don’t get into any trouble, I’ll come by your room later tonight and tell you all about it.”
At Izuku’s utterly scandalized face, Tomura smirked. He swiftly untangled their soul-cord from his hand right as Izuku forcibly pushed against his chest, propelling himself away and out of Tomura’s grasp.
Izuku grunted from the force of his back thudding against the wall of the hallway. He splayed his hands against it and quickly but cautiously inched himself along the wall away from Tomura, mouth slightly parted as he stared at the other man with an expression that was so distrustful Tomura couldn’t help but let out a huff of amusement, his canines popping out past his cracked lips.
“D-don’t you ever do that to me again!” Izuku managed to stutter out, the words coming out way less confident and threatening than he wanted them to sound.
But god, this unhinged man-child was quite literally driving him up the wall and Izuku wanted no part of anything to do with Shigaraki Tomura.
Izuku took a couple of cautious steps backwards, regarding Tomura like he would a rabid wild animal he didn’t want to turn his back to lest it pounce on him.
Tomura just stared back, crimson eyes gazing at him with an intensity that frightened Izuku more than anything else that had just transpired between them.
Izuku noped out and made a break for it.
Swiftly pivoting on his heel and rounding the corner, Izuku fast-walked down to the end of the hallway towards his room, Tomura’s raspy laughter reverberating off the walls and following him every step of the way until he slammed the door shut.

How do y'all differentiate between the controversial whump, dark fiction, and dead dove tropes in fanfiction?
I know they have a lot of overlap and each one can have different types/varying degrees of dark content but for me this is how it goes in terms of severity (level 1 being the lightest, level 3 being the heaviest):
Level 1 = Whump
Level 2 = Darkfic
Level 3 = Dead Dove
When I see a fic with the 'dead dove do not eat' tag, I usually think of something that's somehow worse than whump or darkfic, despite it really depending on the story content itself. Do you feel the same when you see these tags or do you have a different opinion on them?
The only reason I'm asking is because my favorite ship is ShigaDeku, and SGDK shippers either write hardcore dead dove content or super fluffy soul-healing romance. I'm trying to find a healthy balance between the two in my fic but I'm finding it a bit difficult to verbalize, haha.
I want my readers to know that dark things DO happen in my fic but it's not a main feature of the romance (like how it is with many SGDK fics) but rather just part of the hurt/comfort fic I'm writing. 🤔
#twilla speaks#fanfiction tropes#fanfiction genres#dead dove do not eat#whump#dark fic#mha fanfiction#shigadeku#dekushiga#tomudeku#sgdk#shigadeku shippers#also i'm probably extra for saying this but just FYI#i'm not saying that the dead dove sgdk shippers are in any way less valid than the fluffy romance sgdk shippers are#i just prefer when izu and shiga have a more genuine/affectionate bond after they've worked out all their issues lol

I'm trying to think of the right tags to differentiate my hurt/comfort fic with dark themes but a happy ending vs. a hurt/NO comfort fic that has dark themes and an unhappy ending?
I want to tag appropriately so readers can avoid what they don't want to see but I'm kinda having I'm trouble thinking of the right way to convey the distinction between the two. There's a lot of crossover between these two types of fics and many people are okay with the former but want to avoid the latter. So I don't want them to avoid my fic thinking it's a massive angst fest without any payoff or juicy emotional comfort scenes.
Often times, the latter has dark, disturbing, non-con scenes as a feature of the romance rather than something awful/traumatic that the characters go through. Which is fine, because that's the kind of story some people want to write, and I respect their creative liberty to do so.
I feel like this is especially important because with a lot of ShigaDeku media and fanfiction, there's a lot of non-con that many people do not wish to read, but there is also many, many fics featuring full consent, soft and caring shiggy, and even full-blown Shiggy redemption stories.
But my fic features a toxic, tumultuous, 'mortal enemies to ill-fated lovers' type of start, but absolutely no non-con happens between the main ship. That's not to say it's 100% super healthy either, as there's some dark, disturbing, and mature themes (hello they're living in a literal dystopia where majority of villains are in power and are fighting to keep it that way), lots of emotional hurt/angst, kidnapping, captivity, and a sort of 'forced to interact with each other because we're soulmates' type of deal.
But it gradually grows into something healthy, loving, and ultimately helps both characters grow and mature as they navigate their new dynamic. Some huge themes in this story are character growth, relationship development, change and redemption, and exploring grey morality (what it even means to be a hero/villain and how the lines between the two often blur), and the real issues of hero society and all it's flaws.
The hurt/comfort is going to be REAL and Izu and Shiggy are going to earn their happy ending the hard way, lol.
Does anyone have any good tag ideas or something that might help me with this issue? Regardless, thank you for reading! 💚💚💚
