Consider That Most Would Use Izuku As The Personification Of Light And Life, And Shinsou As The Personification

Consider that most would use Izuku as the personification of Light and Life, and Shinsou as the personification of Darkness and Death. Then flip.

Izuku being a kind death, welcoming darkness that takes the suffering souls, the hurt souls, and wraps them in his cloak of only black.

Shinsou being a tired life, with light more akin to moonlight than to sunlight. Shinsou giving karma to those that hurt others, and using his light to reveal the talents of those previously forgotten.

Izuku coming to gently lift a soul from a body, and Shinsou being that instinct in your head that refuses to let oneself give up on living.

Aizawa who thought he would get a mini-him and is now stuck with this super kind soft child that for all intents and purposes looks like a Sunshine Child.

Yamada thinking that he would get someone bubbly and talkative like him, and instead getting this lazy snarky child that would fit in better with the Abyss Children.

And of course, Nemuri and Oboro were the Dawn and the Dusk Mentors, though better known as Twilight children.

Okay I saw this on a fic where theres a group of Quirkless people but they banded together and they call themselves Baselines because Quirkless is a slur. Anyway, idk what the fic was called (it only had like two chapts) but it got me thinking

(And also the fic called Present Your Past, Heart White-Laced (Prove That You’re More Than A Sum Of Your Parts) by Otakku6337)

Anyway, so what if because Quirkless people do not have Quirks, they follow Lamark’s Evolution theory more (because people have a state where their body adjusts to their quirk and it’s affects/prepares for the quirk and its effects (like Ochako‘s fingerpads and her being better with nausea and force than most) which is why late quirks are more powerful (the body needed more time to prepare) (unless they just didnt have the right thing their quirk used (like if you eat pineapple to turn different colors, but having never eaten pineapple before) I’m getting off track.

Consider that if their body does not need to adjust to a quirk (which would also take up brain space because to the brain a quirk basically a giant new muscle) they would spend time adjusting to the environment. Their junk DNA (more than a normal person who has a quirk) and the adaptability part of the DNA which would be slowly replaced/awakened with/into functions and adaptations specific for a quirk would instead be used to create small mutations that help them survive their environment. Getting repeatedly burned? Skin adapts to become more flame resistant. Breaks bones repeatedly? Instead of just the break becoming more resistant, the entire skeletal structure starts becoming more force resistant. Gets bruises often? Blood vessels become stronger. Just like when you work out your muscles break down then are built up stronger but with more cells.

I have decided to join the burning hellscape that is BNHA fandom with prompts and stuff, so as a little warning, I do not support

Teacher/Student relationships,

Non-con relationships

Bakugo/Midoriya in canon (AUs are sometimes okay)

Original Character/Everyone

Y/N (The trope)/Fav. Character (By this I mean overpowered quirk, never loses a fight, the fav. character simps the moment they meet them (unless that is a canon thing, like if Mineta was a wholesome character) only issue is that their backstory is sad, and yet it only affects them like twice.

I do support Original Character/Fav. Character if the original character is like an actual character with thoughts and feelings outside of just oh we see each other and immediately want to kiss.

You know? Today I woke up and decided angst. So I present to you the barest outlines of a songfic for the song It Took Me By Surprise, but instead of Bakugo's viewpoint being the song, it's Izuku's.

Warning: Victim Blaming Themself/Self Blame

_readmore_

I would react badly

To the slightest hint of hesitance

("Hey do you want to play heroes today?" Izuku asked, eyes flitting to Bakugo. Bakugo frowns, contemplating. "It's okay if you don't want to, really, we can play tag or hide and seek or pillow forts or-")

(Izuku as a kid going back on his words if Bakugo waits too long to answer, because of his insecurity and empathy. Think after Bakugo got his quirk but before Izuku got his diagnosis)

He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood

No word from his defense

("Shut up! Of course I want to play heroes! Stupid Deku". Bakugo stood up, stomping over to the playground. "Are you coming or not?!")

(He feels as though Bakugo only chose the first one because he felt obligated to because that is what Izuku would do)

I'd cry knowing how my tears

Felt like acid burning through his skin

("Stop crying, stupid nerd! It's just a scrape. You'll be fine!" Bakugo leans down, eyebrows furrowed, and holds out a hand. "We're going to be heroes and heroes don't cry about getting injured. Come on!" After Izuku gets up and starts following Bakugo again, Bakugo's shoulders untense and his eyebrows relax.)

(He believes that it is his fault for not holding back his tears because he knows it hurts Bakugo to see him cry)

Pushed every little button

But the right one that would let me in

(Blames himself for not being able to react/read Bakugo’s feelings correctly)

Now he's afraid of me

Now he's afraid of me

(Bakugo pushes him away and his attempts to help because Bakugo is afraid to need help, to been seen as weak)

It took me by surprise

The hatred in his eyes

(Izuku remembering the first time Bakugo said he hated him, and meant it)

I've pushed this man as far as he could go

But he lacked the words to let me know

(Bakugo being too mad to gets his thoughts out You-You- You motherfu! I’m not- I’m not weak! Leave me alone!)

He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

(Izuku being pushed to the ground by Bakugo)

I made changes

That went unnoticed

Sang songs for deaf ears

(Izuku apologizing, Izuku getting out of the way, Izuku leaving him alone, Izuku changing his favorite things so Bakugo wouldn’t feel copied))

He mistook my silence for punishment

(Bakugo thinking that Izuku is doing this because he thinks Izuku looks down on him)

As it had been all these years

(Bakugo showing a consistent belief in this as they grow up)

I'd cry knowingly how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin

(Izuku crying even though he thinks himself weak for doing it because he knows it bothers Bakugo and then later he knows that Bakugo gets mad when he cried)

Now he's afraid of me

Now he's afraid of me

(Izuku knows that Bakugo sees him as a threat, even if he doesn’t know why)

It took me by surprise

The hatred in his eyes

(Izuku remembering Bakugo’s hatred during the U.A. finals/ first battle)

I've pushed this man as far as he could go

But he lacked the words to let me know

He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

(Izuku feeling as though his question in the Finals was a push too far, and that Bakugo only punched him because he could not articulate how he felt. Him feeling responsible for Bakugo’s actions in the rest of the finals)

Fav Story Ideas to read or wish I could read:

Sakura oneshots where she realizes that ’Team 7’ was not good for her, and moves on, whether before the time jump, or after Sai and Yamato join

Sakura as someone who’s mindset is changed after Wave mission, (no one has to realize it though) and works harder and surprises everyone in the Chuunin exams? Or, alternatively, is not a medic? Like: Genjutsu expert? Sensor? Senbon?

Midoriya oneshots where he is connecting with other traumatized children, and them finally going ‘oh, he gets me because he was me’ or he realizes that his and Bakugos relationship is not okay or healthy and his redemption should not be through silence. or Midoriya and teacher trauma.

Oc stories where the OC isn’t overpowered and the canon characters are realistically portrayed. Alternatively, OC characters in the canon universe with little to no interaction with canon characters

Vigilante Midoriya fics where he isn’t just snarky with coffee, sleep problems and trauma and in the 1A Hero Course. (Like yes, that is good, but what about other UA courses? normal schools, online schools? What about a Vigilante who can’t help fight fight, so he always makes sure to get the victim out, or waits until after the mugging (but only mugging specifically) and identitifies them and sends that to the police, but first makes sure the victims okay? What about having gone towards the Hero Course and been rejected by Toshinori, and that’s why he never believes Eraserhead? Or, you know, switching it up from Eraserhead to Midnight: undercover work? or Naomasa: texting/leaving paper nicely and without snarky comments -like Izuku literally doesn’t know what could be wrong about this? Or Present Mic: Present Mic sees Izuku in Vig. form taking care of a mugging victim/is the mugging victim and wants to know who he is because that is great hero work on the internship , but can’t find him, and so he gets really into it?

(In essence, I want soft not-‘illegal’ ’vigilante’ Midoriya who uses his First Aid Training/EMT training at night for the benefit of others, drinks tea (black, green, grey?) and is confused why people are trying to find his identity “Its not that important?”)

Sakura x anyone other than Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi (sometimes) and Ino (Ino is great but variety?)

Any plot based Zabuza fic? Ever? Sasuke Bashing, All Might Bashing, Canon Eraserhead bashing (but only canon, not fanon), Sir Nighteye Bashing, Nagisa’s mom bashing, Korosensei bashing (but only slightly because of God of Death’s backstory), Nedzu bashing (sometimes) Shinsou bashing (also only in address to his judgement of others based off their quirk: like literally thought his quirk would carry him through all matches and did nothing to prepare? Assumed that Midoriya’s life was perfect? And Todorokis? And doesn’t hate Bakugo? Or see any trauma signs/toxic relationships signs in Bakugo/Midoriya’s relationship at ALL?) MHA plot bashing, Naruto gov bashing, Kakashi bashing (but depends), Mineta bashing, Jiraiya bashing, Afo bashing -dumb plans and dumb manipulation potato man, and HPSC bashing, Mary Sue bashing,

Hagakure time! or Hatsume time!

Assasination Classroom shenanigans with Karasuma,

The Losers, but as a group and shenanigans happen. Consider the one with Mary Sue bashing.

Jensen getting mad and kicking butt because someone hurt his friends and thought he was the weak link

Sakura time travel fics (either wakes up in younger body, or wakes up as thrown back in time, still in her body) , Naruto time travel fics (thrown back in time, still adult body) Apocalypse Midoriya time travel fics (like Nomu apocalypse, usually w/o quirk)

Missing nin Sakura

Librarian Midoriya

Actually nice Bakugo and Midoriya background but Midoriya is still quirkless and Bakugo knows this

Villain Bakugo - from Midoriya perspective, but Class 1A and Izuku are still heroes

Bakugo with Ofa and Midoroya still quirkless and Midoriya knows that All Might had done this (he either guessed from Rooftop scene or he was forced to give it up) and he resents, but does nothing because what is he supposed to do?

Finally: Manga crossovers that make one person seem shady because of their skills, but its really just because they were involved with the other world

Writing Prompt:

”Have you ever seen a ghost before?”

Or:

”I/I’ve felt like a ghost for so long”
