In a universe where Izuku really is All Might's Actual Honest to God Secret Lovechild, state secrets aren't as secret as you would think, the internet is characteristically rancid, and Izuku has to suffer the harrowing ordeal of being Todoroki Shouto's sworn nemesis at the most elite (posh) middle school in the country.

Well, at least Iida is also there.

....

Thankyou @ph0sphor for the encouragement:)

i don’t wanna ask too many things and ruin ur amazing fanfic that ur making… but if ur still willing, i’d love to know more about how toshi and inko met??

hihihi again:))))))) THANKYOU for the ask you are incredibly nice you could never ruin anything. i had a practical exam today so i only just saw this and no, it's no problem at all this particular scene probably won't be brought up in the actual fic.

so i uh. i kind of imagine them meeting in the most cliche way possible okay don't judge me

inko at present day (where izuku is seven), works a part-time job as a nurse at the hospital. But Inko back then had been an EMT.

There has been some large disaster--devastating, all hands on deck, we have to get there asap oh fuck it someone put inko-chan in the driver seat.

in a way, you could argue that inko is actually an excellent driver. she gets you there faster than what should be physically possible and she gets you there alive or in alive-like condition but, good god. good god. the first time toshinori gets in a car with her he ends up crushing the door handle. he insists his life flashed before his eyes.

Anyway so. this happened when All Might had only just recently returned from his stint in America. he had already gotten ignoring medical advice down to a science and he'd been avoiding All Possible Human or Non-Human Contact like the fucking plague because he genuinely believed that if he so much as petted a puppy on the sidewalk, his immortal terrorist nemesis would hunt it down and eat it's entrails.

his own agency barely ever saw him. (one strange rabid teenager had turned stalking him into an artform but all might was hoping that if he pretended he didn't see it it would go away)

So yes, there was some Big Fight and then there were emergency services crawling all over the scene and toshinori had given the EMT in front of him a big grin and a thumbs up and said hahaha Do Not Worry Good Citizen I Am Fine I Am Impervious To Harm Please Ignore The Lacerations They Are No Bother.

In his defence, it usually worked. He already had enough international street cred that people just kind of dazedly nodded.

But inko had started at him like he was medically insane, gently pushed him back down, said: "that's nice!:)" and started checking him for a concussion. He did Not have a concussion to her eternal disappointment he was just Like That.

This started the most ridiculous game of Cat and Mouse, where All Might would try to abscond from the hospital premises and inko would kind of materialise in front of him like a fucking ninja. and listen. technically he could just physically remove her in a very gentle way but. he had manners, come on . he was a gentleman. (also it was kind of a matter of pride at this point.)

Besides she. she talked to him sometimes. they had conversations. It was the most human he'd felt in a while.

He does eventually escape. But he leaves behind a note with a little drawing on it. (inko's hospital friends tease her terribly over it).

And then they don't see each other for a while....until well. there's always another disaster.

and toshinori finds himself covered in blood smiling sheepishly at her.

[imustbeimaginary]

Hi!!!! Just an update for people who've been with me on the 3-post long journey of the Izuku is Actually All Might's Secret Love Child! AU:

I'm going to try and write it as an actual fanfic!! It's going to take a lot longer and I cannot promise Success, but rest assured attempts will be made.

I'm a lot better at tumblr bullet-point stories than actual writing, but imma try my best.

[imustbeimaginary]

if endeavor is The Same But Worse, did that have any affect on touya and his arc??

also iida getting dragged into tddk’s chaos as a mediator(?) is So funny to me, poor boy 😭

!!!!!! thankyou for the ask!! so this is great because Keeping Up with The Todorokis is exactly what i wanted to talk about next!!!

And no. no it didn't. It didn't save touya, it didn't affect him, it didn't even make him worse. By the time shit starts going down, Touya is already long gone.

Natsuo, on the other hand? Well, Natsuo is a different story. And also one of the characters i wanted to dig into most yay! Here are three things you need to know about Todoroki Natsuo in this AU:

Natsuo is quirkless. except not quiet because endeavor pulled some strings to have him registered as "Cold Hands" in the quirk registry to avoid bring shame to the family name.

He is absolutely following the situation online. He's on every social media he's in the trenches of the reddit comments section and he's one of the people going to the bat for Izuku.

He has run away twenty-three times and counting. Endeavor does not really give a shit and only bothers to drag him back to ensure that he hasn't Said Anything He Shouldn't. But then the Leak happened, and Endeavor saw All Might of all people get backlash for having a quirkless son and he, well. he got paranoid.

So yes, as a direct consequence of Endeavor being Worse, Natsuo is stuck at home now, with a much tighter leash..........and an impressionable younger brother.

Natsuo is teaching shouto to snark, is my point. he's teaching him internet parody. he's radicalising him.

(Natsuo hadn't really interacted with Shouto much, before this. hadn't wanted to. it had felt too much like asking to get his heart broken again. too much like a betrayal to touya. but now he's here and shouto is small, with burnt skin and a defiant gleam in his eyes where touya's had only had a hunger for approval. So yes, okay, he's taking this kid on an adventure and they're gonna put a whoopie cushion on Endeavor's stupid seat and they are dragging Fyuumi along with them. fuck it.)

(He doesn't dare mention All Might or Izuku's name inside that house, though. there is such a thing as too risky.)

As for Iida, Iida is suffering okay. he is personally offended by Izuku and Shouto's whole situation. he feels like the Child of Divorce and he would like them both To Start Being Reasonable Now, Please.

[imustbeimaginary]

One (1) person implied that they would like to hear more about the Izuku is actually All Might's secret lovechild AU and I am here to deliver.

So firstly, I kind of really want to flesh out what exactly happened on the day of the leak. because.

all might wasn't in the country, is the thing. he was on the other side of the world fighting some Big Bad and Inko and Izuku were in a grocery store, aisle four, where Izuku was trying to convince Inko that he really could carry the bags by himself, honest.

Inko didn't even realise what was happening when the quiet buzz of the little store turned loud and excited. but then some random man took one look at her and dropped his canned tuna on the floor. clang. more people start looking now, staring, wide-eyed. "Is that-?" "You don't think-!" "It's them!" And then there is a group of people surrounding them, threateningly pointing their cameras and Inko thinks she's had nightmares that went like this before.

So the thing is that while Inko and Izuku are being livestreamed from ten different angles, the same thought is going through the heads of every single villain in the country. all might used to be kind of invulnerable, see. but now he's got this big, glaring weak point and it's literally geotagged. what do you expect them to do, here.

what happens next is the most chaotic uncoordinated city-wide relay race/chase in recent history: Inko very calmly puts a hand on izuku's shoulder to steer him out. come on sweetie. A Villain shows up. Gran Torino, who was on his way to visit his beloved grandson (with NO relation to that over-muscled fool monkey Toshinori) drop kicks him into a fruit stand. lets go we need to go. (becoming a licenced vehicle was not in Gran's retirement plans but we do what we must.)

As villains continue to converge on their location, because random civillians won't stop livestreaming them, heroes realize that they need to lock the fuck in. its absolute chaos there are thirteen different hero villain fights happening on a single street izuku's fanboy heart almost can't take it.

he keeps getting handed off to different pros because gran was not made for long-distance travel and if you think that threats to his life are going to make izuku any less of a motormouth, think again. the pros think he is adorable okay they would die for him.

Still, later he'll only remember the whole affair in flashes. The grocery bags dropping out his hands, eggs splattering on the concrete. Ingenium's tense smile. you'll be okay, kid. burning agony as a villain wraps chains around his arms that are hot, hot, hot. a scruffy looking man with glowing red eyes.

For izuku it ends when his uncle Mirai shows up in a helicopter with a demented look in his eyes. For the rest of the world, it ends when All might is there suddenly, and he's not smiling.

EXCEPT it doesn't really end, does it? Other information starts coming out.

In the immediate aftermath of the Musutafu Chase, a reporter interviews an injured Pro Hero. He looks tired, but he's smiling and bright eyed. "It was one of those moments, you know? When you see every single hero, regardless of rank, just coming together. To protect our future. It's just- it's inspiring. I was honored to be of help."

The reporter nods. smiles. "And do you have any comments about Midoriya Izuku alleged 'quirklessness' ? "

A pause. "What?" he says, smile slipping. he looks around for someone to say that they're just kidding. then. his face twists into disgust and he says, "seriously?"

(its not that he regrets saving the kid or anything. of course not. it's just that his chest had puffed out in pride when All Might's Son had looked at him with starts in his eyes and told him his quirk was so cool. Now, he feels embarrassed. Now, that praise is....less)

(it sets the tone)

[imustbeimaginary]

i haven't really been a part of the bnha fandom for almost a year now but i've got these little tddk universes that continue to haunt my headspace. They will not leave me alone.

Right, so. in one of them, Izuku is all might's actual honest to god lovechild and shouto has some major beef with him and they both go to the same posh elite rich people middle school where they start off as sworn rivals but eventually slowburn their way to chaotic bestfriends. And Iida is Also There.

THE BACKSTORY:

(iZUKU)

Izuku is seven when the leak happens. before the leak, he had about the same experiences as canon Izuku- with just a bit more of video calls and letters and visits from his dad, who he loves but does not talk about because he's a good boy who can keep important world-saving secrets, okay. you can trust him.

but after the leak.....he's not really izuku anymore. Suddenly, he is the Son of The Most Famous Man On The Planet. and here is where i'd like to put in a lot of parasocial commentary, right? Because. On one hand I headcanon All Might to be like this almost universally beloved figure. People want him to kiss their babies random people sometimes leave him their inheritance it is unprecedent. But on the other hand......that kid is quirkless.

Don't get me wrong, people REALLY want all might to have babies!! they want him to breed like a racehorse and give the public a football team of allmight juniors!! And initially they're so happy and excited! But then. it comes out that the kid is. the kid is quirkless.

It causes a lot of mixed reactions within the public. Some people feel bad for all might, that poor man. Some strangers on the internet are "disappointed in" Izuku. Some people love him anyway! Some people think he's uwu fragile baby to be protected at all costs. Some think that he should just fucking die so all might can focus on what really matters.

So yeah, Izuku is in a unique kind of hell.

(SHOUTO)

You are the fourth experiment, and the only success. Your father's eyes are cold and hard and the only value you have in those eyes is your quirk, your perfect quirk. But then you see this other boy, son of the man you were born and bred to surpass, and he does not have a quirk and he is STILL loved. How is that fair?

It should be noted that Shouto (at 7) has not seen the parasocial hell izuku is in right now, he does not have a tumblr. (or any other social media, lol) But what he does see is this video of All Might throwing a tiny Izuku high in the air, while his mother shakes her head in the background and all of them are laughing. He looks at Izuku and thinks he has everything he's ever wanted.

(OTHER ELEMENTS)

All Might is Suffering ok, a very big part of this story is Tormenting all might. you can save the whole world but you could not save your son. that world you just saved is trying to eat your son. All Might can perform superhuman feats he can break mountains but he cannot protect Izuku from the backlash that follows the leak and it leaves him feeling incredibly helpless. (Unless.....there's that. But that's like, nepotism. Also it'd put izuku in even more danger. and it's wrong. right? right?????)

Endeavor is endeavor except Worse. yeah, that's right. he's himself times 10x. Despite knowing it's futile, Fyuumi was this close to calling some authority, any authority a couple times. On the bright side, when he sees All Might enroll his son into that prestigious elite high security middle school, he immediately turns around and does the same for shouto despite having every intention of homeschooling him before that.

I've got a whole different vibe built up for the middle school and their rivalry and Iida Also Being There ok but I think I've bothered you enough in this long ass post, thankyou

batman is one of those characters where i can read one of his comics and think “man. what a great guy. despite all his paranoia and obsessive tendencies he has a deep love for humanity that pushes him to make the world a better place. i don’t understand why so many people hate him.” and then i read another one of his comics and i think he should die in a glue trap

me, who spent the last 300+ chapters reading about Sasuke getting his ass beat concave:

[davidalleynes]

LIST OF PEOPLE WHO BEAT SASUKE’S ASS:

That kid from the first arc with the mask

That dude from the first arc with the huge sword

His brother

Kakashi, I think

Orochimaru

I’m pretty sure Rock Lee beat his ass physically, emotionally, or spiritually at least three times

Naruto

That big tiddy lady from the chunin arc

A math problem

Killer Bee

His brother, again

Gaara

I don’t remember if Neji ever physically fought him but I’m pretty sure Neji used his petty gay shade powers to own Sasuke at least once

Jiraiya I think

Tsunade, definitely

Literally all of the Akatsuki

Himself

[dragongirlteeth]

I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.

If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible
