Natsuo curses a lot

Summary:

After yet another fight with his father (seriously what else is new), Natsuo runs out of the home and ends up in the shadier part of town. In an odd turn of events trying to lose a group shadowing him (because of course that would be his luck), he finds himself in a new, but clearly run down bar, and face to… hand(?) with a man that draws his attention and makes his heart beat faster than when he's graced with stress from his college exams. Also, why the heck is his back burning where his black-and-white soulmate mark rests? It hasn't acted up since it first came in when he was thirteen so why now? Who is this mysterious man and why is it that he feels like he's about to end up playing with fire if he gets mixed up with him?

Everyone undergoes some sort of rite of passage in their life. It's been a facet of humanity since the dawning of culture: ceremonies or trials that mark one's passage from adolescence to a functional, productive adult. In the same vein, the vast majority of all humans share in the trial of finding their soulmates: those determined by the universe to be their ideal companions, somewhere out there in the vast sea of people. One wouldn't think that these two stepping stones in life would have anything to do with one another... Think again. The industrialized world endlessly endeavors for efficiency... and searching for a soulmate is one of the most inefficient processes out there. If there were a means of easily identifying one's soulmate, think of how much time could be saved and put toward better use! That was the core principle behind Soulscape: the virtual reality videogame whose revolutionary programming identified soulmates based on DNA. But wait... why use this technology only for pairing soulmates? Why not use it as a universal rite of passage, too? And, if someone can't be productive in a game designed to maximize their potential, then... They won't be very productive in the real world, will they?

I love full-dive videogame settings, check it out! – Do not repost.

@natshigbigbang

My submission for the 2023 Natshig Big Bang, my first bang ever! This has been so much fun! The story's set to have ~3 chapters right now, but only the first one is up--I still need to write/revise the other two. Art can be found here!

Summary:

Neither Todoroki Natsuo nor Shigaraki Tomura put much stock into the concept of soulmates, unlike what seems like every single other person in the world. The future Symbol of Fear would only be weakened by a soulmate, and Natsuo is highly skeptical of the idea of meeting someone magical that will fix all his problems. So how the hell is whoever's in charge of this going to get them together? Spans one day, featuring angry cosmic geese, Todoroki drama, and maybe--just maybe--a little bit of hope for these two cynical dorks.
