Servants in the Shadows: 7 Ways to Murder Your High School Rivals

Rating: Mature

Contains: Graphic violence (including suicide attempts, murder and death); mentions of ableist and LGBTQ+ slurs; mentions of drug and alcohol abuse; mentions of sexual abuse; and mention of human trafficking

Selim Bradley is twelve years old, rich, a straight A student, Student Council President, and is already in his senior year. And to top it all off, he will become the King of the Senior Prom. Or so he thinks. After Edward Elric loses his arm and leg in a car crash, people started to flock to him instead of Selim. They even put him in the Senior Prom King Election in pity. Inspired by Ryan Scott Oliver’s song ‘The Ballad of Sara Berry’, follow the story of how a boy slowly loses his sanity over the course of a school year all because he lets his pride and arrogance get the best of him.

💛 Present Mic💛

Mic: What happened?

Aizawa: You turned into a bird monster...again.

Mic: That would explain my headache, but...why does my mouth taste like roadkill!?

Aizawa: You might have eaten something or someone. Hopefully, it’s the former otherwise-

Mic: *starts to gag*

Recovery Girl: DON’T YOU DARE!!! I JUST HAD THESE FLOORS CLEANED!!!

Mic: *throws up All Might**

Aizawa: Hello there, All Might.

All Might: *lays there in shock* ...

Mic: Uh, hello? Earth to All Mi-

All Might: I’m just gonna...lay here for a minute.

Aizawa: ...

Mic: ...

Recovery Girl: ...

Mic: That’s fair.

Recovery Girl: At least lay in a bed...

AU where Mic has a curse like Eda, but he turns into a cockatiel beast instead of an owl one. Everyone in the school sans Midnight, Aizawa, and Vlad King believe that Aizawa is the beast at first because who would think that the outgoing and friendly Mr. Mic would be a huge monster. All Might plays the role as the Snaggleback, and gets traumatized after Mic spits him out.

.

Me: *trying to get other AUs done*

My Brain: Present Mic but ✨✨✨J-Pop Idol✨✨✨

Me drawing this: WHY!!!???

*****

So there’s a lot more to this AU than just Present Mic, or in this case Sunny Day, having a J-Pop Idol Singer style over a Punk Rock DJ Style.

Sunny Day is from a My Hero Academia AU that I’ve been working on called Illuminate.

…

Time to explain this AU’s plot for the umpteenth time.

*****

In this version of MHA, 5% of the world’s population experiences the Illuminate Phenomenon.

Anyone who experiences this rare phenomenon will gain a quirk based off of their personality, goals, interests, etc. Think of the cutie marks from MLP only more random and not everyone has one.

It still focuses on Izuku, but this time he has an Illumi Quirk, which is a quirk that was gained from the Illuminate Phenomenon, called Quirk Database. After he and his friend, Katsuki, entered UA together, they start to experience some weird dreams.

Meanwhile, All for One is turning Illumi Quirk users into corrupted villains, similar to Hawk Moth’s akumatizing powers, and sending them after UA.

*****

So yeah. In this AU, Sunny still has her original quirk, Voice, along with an Illumi Quirk called Cockatiel.

If anyone has any questions about my AU, feel free to send an ask.

Sorry! Not Sorry!

Thanks @iara-png, for letting me use your Erasermic fusion for reference and the sake of the meme.

MHA x 'Splosion Man Crossover AU

A Nomu!Mic AU with a twist.

Kayaku, also known as The 'Sploding Hero: DJ 'Splosion, isn't your typical Pro Hero.

He was a specialized nomu designed to be a living explosive for the League of Villians, hence his name. However, Dr. Garaki made a slight miscalculation when designing Kayaku. Unlike his other nomu creations, Kayaku was more independent and aware of what was going on.

As much as he could be, at least.

But the experiment and the instability of his new quirk left his mind worse for wear, as Kayaku hardly remembers anything before he was kidnapped.

He does know that he was friends with Kurogiri though, and broke him out of the facility.

Which leads us here.

Kayaku/DJ 'Splosion

Hehehehe! 'Splode!

Modified Quirk: Combustible

Base Quirk: Voice

Smells like coal and amber

Was experimented on for years before he escaped.

He is a bit of a Cloud Cuckoolander because of the experimentation he went through and his unstable new quirk.

Despite his unstable mind, Kayaku is smarter than his looks.

Wired with an instinct to create chaos wherever he goes.

Unlike his canon counterpart, Kayaku doesn't hold back and will create problems on purpose.

He got his hero name from Kuroboro, who said that Kayaku reminded him of this video game character he liked.

Speaks in gibberish most of the time. Kuroboro often has to translate for him.

Has a weird obsession with cake and meat. Shouta has to hide any cakes he has outside of his and Kayaku's apartment.

Kayaku also tends to eat any power sources, such as batteries and uranium. He says it tastes like citrus candy.

Doesn't mix well with water. Luckily, his quirk allows him to self-clean by disintegrating any dirt or bacteria, so he doesn't need to bathe.

His hero costume allows him to release any excess energy into the leather. Each part of his hero costume has a different element infused into the leather, causing it to release a different color glow as a result.

If his hero costume is glowing brightly, that's your only warning that he's going to explode.

Despite how many times he has exploded, Kayaku is surprisingly still alive.

Kayaku tries to remember his past, but he never was successful.

He can't even remember his own name.

Why can't he remember?

It started with an 'H', right?

Why couldn't he remember?

Why why why why why why why why why why why why why-?

What was he thinking about? Oh yeah! Cake!

Aizawa Shouta/Eraserhead

As if you weren't loud enough before.

He was the one who found both Kayaku and Kuroboro after they escaped from the facility they were held captive in.

Shouta helped Kayaku get well-adjusted and even let him stay at his apartment.

Over time, Shouta realized that he still had feelings for Kayaku despite the fact that he was no longer Hizashi.

He's honestly hesitant to call Kayaku by his old name, worried that it might trigger some bad memories.

Shouta often has to use his quirk on Kayaku so he doesn't cause problems.

Shouta once came home to find Kayaku stuffing a whole 3-tier cake in his mouth. He barely slept that night.

He likes to cuddle up with Kayaku sometimes when he's cold.

Shouta feels guilty for how Kayaku ended up like this.

Why?

The last time he saw Hizashi Kayaku was during their high school graduation.

And he had used his quirk to silence Hizashi Kayaku before leaving him alone.

Shiragiri Kuroboro/Thunder Cloud

Cool! You're like a video game character!

Kuroboro is high school best friends with Kayaku and Shouta.

Kuroboro isn't a full nomu like Kayaku due to the latter interrupting the nomufication process.

He kept most of his memories but is still a bit fuzzy here and there.

He's the only one who can understand Kayaku's gibberish due to being part nomu.

Kuroboro often feels conflicted about his identity, hence why he combined his human name and nomu name.

He tried to get Kayaku to remember his past, but it didn't end well as Kayaku became distressed...and exploded.

The first time Kayaku exploded, Kuroboro thought he was dead.

He took care of Kayaku while they were still on the streets.

Kuroboro was relieved when he finally found Shouta and begged for his help.

After getting reinstated as a hero, Kuroboro became UA's gym teacher and biology teacher.
