The Cave of the Voiceless Wolf

[biconickyoshi]

Been thinking about an AU where Zuko is Korra’s firebending teacher, and he initially has a hard time opening up to and connecting with her due to his grief about Aang’s passing.

(aka Pearlrose from Steven Universe but make it Zukaang)

(Btw my first attempt drawing adult zukaang, hope I did it well 👉🏼👈🏼)

Zu-“he’s not calling me hotman he’s definitely mad at me”-ko

I think at some point in life Zuko would grow into liking the nickname cuz no one other than him getting called “Hotman” by Aang

Back to drawing!!!! Man it’s been like a week but I miss drawing them like hell 😭

I really like the thought of Gyatso teaching Aang everything about showing affection and love despite the fact that Air Nomads have to learn about detachment to reach enlightment. He was the best teacher for our lil avatar.

What are your Zukaang headcanons? Btw your art is so CUTE it makes me so happy whenever it crosses my dash

Thank you so much for liking my art 🥺 About the headcanons, I do have a few. Disclaimer, I haven’t finished all of the Avatar media, so these might be canon in some medias or just purely fanon. Either way, they’re still how I see their interaction.

(And sorry for being extra but these doodles are to distract you guys from any grammatical errors I might have made when typing those headcanons.)

Wellll there should be more but I gotta save them for later comics. Thank you for asking, btw! 🥺💖

soulmate au, body and quirk swap, at age 13 you swap bodies and quirks with your soulmate, you go back to your own body after a day but you have to meet up with your soulmate to return the quirk. izuku with one of the villains, togadeku, shigadeku, dabideku, spindeku, any of them. platonic or romantic is your choice too

“So, your soulmate is a villain?”

“Umm he was… I was in a bar. And the guy running it thought I was him and talked about the Leauge of Villains they were planning. And they had a lot of messed up stuff.”

“Do you know where?”

“Yes,” Izuku said. He was itchy, so itchy but he didn’t scratch. It was because of the Quirk his soulmate had, felt like his skin was constantly drying out. He needed to scratch but he also didn’t want to because it could make his skin worse. Izuku’s hand twitched to his wrist before he yanked it back.

Giving the address felt like a betrayal. A spit in the face of his soulmate but what was he supposed to do? He couldn’t let his soulmate be a villain. He had to stop Tomura!

Even if his guy twisted in shame.

Luckily reporting crimes after a swap to the police wasn’t uncommon. Izuku was one of many. Even if his was due to the fact that his soulmate was a villain. Rare, but not uncommon.

He wished it didn’t feel like a betrayal.

-

“He’s brainwashed!” Tomura ranted to Kurogiri. “Izuku is convinced heroes are a good thing! The world spits on him and torments him for not having a Quirk but he wants to be a hero!”

“Society is a wicked thing,” Kurogiri said. Tomura nodded firmly.

“It is. And I’m gonna save him,” Tomura said. They had to move the bar since Izuku would be so brainwashed he’d go to the police but it was worth it. Izuku needed protection and going to the police would stop people from realizing Izuku was Tomura’s player 2. His partner, the genius child who wrote so many books tearing apart Quirks.

Tomura couldn’t wait until he could get Izuku to see the light. They’d have to arrange for a covert meeting so Tomura got Decay back which wouldn’t be enough o convince Izuku of the truth, but he’d start.

Izuku would be with him, he was his soulmate after all.

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.

This is destroying me.

Yes it's cute but the implications of this make me want to tear Studio Bones apart with my teeth.

They've been using baby Izuku and Tenko in the OPs/EDs for a while to represent Izuku's desire to save that crying little boy at the core of who Tomura is. That makes sense. My problem isn't that tiny Izuku is running to Tomura in this scene but that HE STOPS.

It's not of his own desire to stop. He wants to keep going but he runs out of breath. His childlike unshakable optimism gets him a long way but not far enough to actually save Tomura the way he wanted.

Because YES, this is Tomura's death scene.

The only time we see Tomura look like this at this point in the series is his last conversation with Izuku as he dies and this is showing us outright that while Izuku is going to put absolutely everything into trying to save him, he is going to fall short.

He is going to run out of breath.

"Träumerei"

Seems like it's been so long since that scene where Izuku and Tomura exploring each other's life in the vestige. It was one of my most favorite scene for Izuku.

So I just draw this on a whim.

this pic right here is the reason I'm depressed. (they both deserved sm better)
