Hi! Hello! How are you? It's been a hot minute, eh? Thank you for your patience with my hiatus. I have a more comfortable buffer of chapters so it's time to start posting again!
As said above, I'm going to aim for monthly updates starting with part 4. You can't rush creativity! And I think I have enough good fluff and angst to appease you as we go forward.
Part 3 ended with Izuku and Katsuki successfully rescued from the League of Villains. But Izuku learned more than he had bargained for during the kidnapping. All For One was his father and wanted him to become a Villain. A horrifying realization made incredibly awkward now that Izuku possesses One For All on top of his family drama. Despite all of that, he still aims to become a Hero who fights Quirkless.
On the fluff side of all the angst, Izuku and Shouto have finally kissed. Now I'm a sucker for mushy fluff so we have officially broken that barrier. I don't necessarily know how far I will go in regards to mature/explicit content. -i do read smut myself but i'm human so sue me- Whatever happens, for those who aren't here for that, I'll note when those moments are so you can skip them. Other than that, I'm just letting the story flow.
More serious stuff, DO NOT REPOST ANY part of BC. I post on fanfiction.net and ao3. The only ones with permission are on my linktree and any that aren't do not have my consent. That goes for other fanfiction websites and youtube and really any other site you can post fanfiction. If you find them, please let me know so I can report them. Please and thank you!
Now, let's get to it! :D
Linktree to all the things!
End notes for the chapter are under the line.
And that is my take down of Aldera! This is as much as I'm going into them facing consequences. Anything else regards to a trial and sentencing I'll let you guys fantasize on your own. There are more important plot points for me to focus on but hey! Aldera be facing consequences. You can see my post on the OC on the tumblr here.
Fun Facts About Japan:
Not sure if I covered this before or not, but putting it here anyway. The Japan school structure has them in a trimester time table instead of the two term semester system in the US.
First term - April to July
Summer break - end of July to early September
Second term - September to December
Winter break - end of December to about mid January
Third term - January to March
Spring break - end of march to early April
Basically a lot more schooling that US kiddos go through. Even during the breaks. For summer break specifically, students still come to school despite it being a break. The reason why is club activities. Students still have club duties to complete and so will come to school to do them. From art club, chorus, and even sports clubs, they will come in the heat of summer to do those duties whatever they may be.
This is also the time with English contest applicants work with their teachers and ALTs to practice and help perfect their speeches. When I first arrived through the JET program, it was at the end of July and our first tasks was helping those students. A bit nerve-wracking when first starting out in a foreign country that was for sure. XD Yes, I am a native English speaker and therefore considered an 'expert' but that did not make me an expert at teaching English.
That came with experience and learning how Japanese people approached English as well. I met a wide range of students who either would work super hard to have a natural accent or they would rely on sounding it out in what I called Katakana English. Which is them using the sounds of the Japanese alphabet to form the words instead of the actual English pronunciation. That was a constant thing we had to work on. Either way, the students did always try their best and I'm proud of them all. ^____^
That's it for this chapter but not all I have for you! With this gift of angst I'm also giving you a gift of fluff with a double update for starting posting again! So sit back, relax, and chapter 2 will be coming your way soon! Ta! -runs off to edit
Your author, joker, here! This is a post to show my OC created with help from peeps on the discord. Taikan Gosei is his name and being kind and in Hitoshi’s corner is his game! :D I’ll put the deets below the line for visual convenience.
First off, let’s start with a picture of this guy!
He’s not going to make much of an appearance. Just when it comes to dealing with Hitoshi’s foster situation. I just felt that Hitoshi needed someone who was on his side at the foster center. Taikan is the man for the job.
Name: Taikan Gosei, 耐感 御情
耐 (タイ, tai ) meaning 'endure',
感 (カン, kan) meaning ‘feeling’,
耐感 together means ‘resistance’,
御 ( ゴ , go ) for honorable/manipulate/govern,
情 ( セイ , sei ) for feelings/emotion/passion among many others
Other details on him. Taikan is 58, male, brown eyes, red fur with streaks of grey from aging, and his skin is more of a tan color but he’s more hair than the average person. His Quirk is an emitter type that allows him to feel the emotions around him as well as minorly manipulate the emotions of those near him. Nothing too drastic but enough to lower someone’s anger or make someone sad a bit happier.
Personality wise he’s a kind person who likes to help and work with kids which is why he works at the foster center. He’s also a peaceful man who would rather settle matters calmly and without confrontation. He does come to the defense of those who have a tougher time but manages to settle any tense situations with his calm demeanor and a bit of help with his Quirk. Also, despite him being a kind man, he still faces discrimination because of his appearance being seen as scary. Which unfortunately he can feel how others think about him because of his Quirk but he never let it get to him over the years.
Thanks go to Serif666, cheezee without zee, Christina, Audrey, and Sin on the discord for helping me create this character. Also a second to Christina for her help with the kanji of his name!
