Shimura Kotaro - Tumblr Posts

I came up with this idea for a story based around the Shimura family rising from the dead and having a confrontation with both sides of Nana’s legacy about a week ago, and I’m in the process of turning it into a full-length fic. Unfortunately, there’s no way I’m gonna be able to finish it in time for spooky month. But for the sake of Halloween, I thought it would be nice to share the general idea I’ve got down for the plot. So without further ado, here’s the WIP summary for what I’m gonna call Spooky Scary Shimuras:

(Spoilers for the general plot and story beats)

A house in a well-to-do neighborhood in Musutafu has been rebuilt from the crater left behind a little over a decade ago. The family that moved in has a little boy who manifests his quirk on Halloween: Arise. It allows him to bring lost souls who died in the area back to the earthly plane so that they have a chance to seek closure and finally pass on. Guess who gets hit with it?

All Might and the Wonder Duo are in the area because they were escorting kids  going trick or treating that night and are walking home when a family of ghosts are resurrected, so they are the first on the scene to investigate. They learn from the ghost family about the events that led to their deaths fairly quickly, and of the remorse they feel at letting everything get to that point of no return. All Might and company are willing to try to help them reunite with the missing member, Tenko, so the family can apologize for their actions and finally pass on knowing that they were able to do right by the child for once.

There’s just one problem: while the family knows their relationships to each other, their past, and their first names, they collectively can’t remember their shared last name. So it becomes a mystery of trying to find that last bit of information needed to start the search for Tenko’s current whereabouts by piecing it together from what they can remember of when they were alive.

At the same time as this search into the name is happening, the League of Villains are using Halloween as an excuse to make mischief, and have been committing various acts of vandalism around Japan, with Musutafu as the next target. Soon enough, they happen upon a road that Tomura is strangely familiar with, and when he ends up recognizing his former neighborhood he gets an idea: to investigate his old house and see it’s state after 15 years. Is it still a crater or did it get rebuilt? And if it was rebuilt, has it been abandoned due to it’s dark history? The rest of the league is mostly onboard if only for the fact that if there’s an abandoned house in that spot, they could explore a genuine haunted house!

What will happen when the ghost family finally rediscovers their last name? How will they react when they learn about the connections between them, All Might, and his successors? And most importantly, what will happen when all of them finally encounter the last surviving Shimura?

They disappoint, they disappear,

... they die, but they don’t.

They disappoint in turn I fear, 

... forgive, though, they won’t.

They disappoint, they disappear,

don’t reject me anymore.

Kurogiri, snatching Tenko away: “You made it with love, but you still fucked it up.”

Psychological Damage

ow my emotions

I'm glad Nana didn't stick around to see the rest of the confrontation. She would've survived seeing Kotarou die, but seeing Kotarou and AFO having late night bar dates and Kotarou being happy around the man would've killed the poor woman again.

okay then!

Do I have the mental capacity to analyze Shigaraki saying he has to be the villains hero? no. and i going to think about this everyday for the next week? yes.

Kohei Horikoshi i adore you and your writing while i am simultaneously suffering pain of a thousand wounds.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN AFO BUILT THE SHIMURA HOUSE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN AFO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE SHIMURA FAMILY SINCE BEFORE TENKO WAS BORN? WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN THAT AFO WAS SO CONCERNED ABOUT TENKOS QUIRK MANIFESTSTION AND HE CANONLY DIDNT MANIFEST HIS QUIRK UNTIL AGE 5 WHEN EVERYONE ELSE GETS THEM BEFORE 4 YEARS OLD? WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN THAT SHIGARAKI WANTS TO SAVE HIS COMRADES AND THINKS OF DABI TWICE TOGA AND IGUICHI WHILE HES CRYING IN HUS CHILD FORM?

IM LOSING MY SANITY BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCH IM OKAY WITH IT 😭
