So hear me out: Optimus tfa but there was a mix up at the body shop and now his paint is glittery. Megatron of course sees this and hijinks ensue

There's definitely a running joke of Flight-Frames being attracted to shiny things, but the glitter really pops and now Optimus has to worry about not just Megatron going after his aft.

Anyone who flies will be after him, but most back off when they realize Megatron already claimed him.

Where does the Shockblurr story take place on the timeline? Around the same time or later?

The ShockBlurr side-story takes place much later from the time of "An Archivist's Spark" likely between a year before the Autobots awaken on Earth and within cycles before Blurr gets sent to Earth to monitor the situation there.

"An Archivist's Spark" takes place from roughly 30 million years ago when Megazarak was still leading the Decepticons until just before the start of the Great War and then a few large time skips (with the final scene being the moment Sari's Key and the Allspark revives OP)

For the ask game: AU where, since All for One is kinda hard to kill, the One for All holders decide to murder his villain reputation first.

Ok, time to finish the rest of these before I go get groceries

1- Of course it always has to start with Yoichi. He knew exactly how hard his brother is to kill, as he's been trying to kill him ever since they were children. His brother just never realized it and thought all of the attempts to bite his throat out were a sign of brotherly affection. So he tells Second and Third that if they're finding difficulties, to instead find a way to kill his reputation in some fashion.

2- Unfortunately, Second and Third thought the traditional method of trying to straight up kill All for One was better in the long run. While Hikage was happy to remain as a hermit; but Banjo decided he would follow with Yoichi's wishes! Luckily for Banjo, his family actually owns the copyright for Captain Hero and the Demon King and they had kept producing some kind of content to continue renewing it. So Banjo first decided to completely destroy the Demon King as a character by giving him a redemption arc through the Power of Love and Friendship.

3- When it was En's turn, he decided to find ways to break into All for One's bases. He didn't steal anything, instead going to where the villain's suits are laundered and proceeded to add bleach to turn them all white. He then left instructions for his successor on the best way to break into the laundry room; this is how Nana dyed all of All for One's suits pink.

4- All Might kind of fell more in line with Second and Third and thought it was better to just straight up kill the guy. He actually got the closest to killing All for One, which actually helped with destroying his reputation further because he was defeated by a man who themed himself off of America of all places.

5- Yoichi finally got in contact with Izuku after Izuku got One for All and urged him to find a way to destroy All for One beyond repair. Izuku decides on a multilevel plan to do just that. First he steals AfO's bank information, including all of his shell companies, and donates every last penny to charity. Then he throws out the name "Deku" and claims the name "All for One" and registers it under copyright law.

As soon as All for One appears at Kamino claiming the name "All for One" he is immediately pulled into Judge Abe's court.

@aimportantdragoncollector can tell you how that trial ends

5 headcanons for an AU where Izuku loses both his arms due to overusing One for All.

*rubs hands together with glee*

You spoil me too much

1- This happens after the Muscular Fight in the Training Camp. Both of Izuku's arms have to be amputated and he is just staring at the ceiling in shock when the doctor explains what happened and that they did everything they could to save his arms. But some injuries are just beyond repair, even with a healing Quirk like Recovery Girl's.

2- Because Izuku lost his arms, Kirishima does not recruit him to save Bakugou. Whether Bakugou is saved or not is definitely up to debate, but Kamino is a particularly bloody fight with All Might making his rage at USJ look like mild disappointment. This rage actually results in All for One getting his face completely smashed in, killing him instantly.

3- Ironically, the act of killing All for One causes All Might's injured arm to be beyond repair and he has to have it amputated. But he is still determined to continue fighting and bringing down every last villain to avenge his kid's lost arms. This does lead to him and Izuku bonding over prosthetics, with All Might having his painted green.

4- When Black Whip first emerged, it destroyed Izuku's prosthetics completely. So he gets with the Support Department to figure out how to make a set that won't be destroyed by this new Quirk. Though it does come in handy in the event a Villain destroys his arms. He is also even more cautious when it comes to his legs.

5- Hatsume included a flamethrower in Izuku's and All Might's prosthetics. Yoichi, from within One for All, is very excited about this.

I just read the shorts where AFO adopted a quirkless Izuku to make himself look good, and it was amazing!

When I hear Pro Hero AFO I think "he's a good guy, but we forget that sometimes because of how arrogant and monologuey he is" but I loved the direction you took it, with him still being a terrible human being and All Might being a villain, yet is still a better dad!

Do you have any more details on the AU?

Ok so I should say for the record:

In the series "A Collection of Dad Smite" All for One did not actually adopt Izuku; instead he pays Inko money so I can use Izuku for PR purposes.

Izuku gets put in a controlled situation that appears dangerous to the public, and All for One saves him - and the public eats it up because they love it when a Hero saves an innocent civilian, especially when the civilian is a helpless child and bonus points for being Quirkless. The original deal was that All for One would eventually give Izuku a Quirk before Izuku reaches high school age, but Izuku overheard that All for One plans to instead find a Quirk that can keep Izuku as a child because Izuku has been the best at playing the victim game.

Izuku only worked hard and did his best because he thought he would get a Quirk and a chance at becoming a Hero, he didn't realize that being a good "victim" would leave him stuck with that for a long ass time.

Though as for other details-

All Smite eventually plans on letting Izuku have One for All in this verse, and to then let Izuku decide what he wants to do with One for All. However, All Smite plans to do it once All for One is good and dead. He knows that All for One wants One for All and will do anything to get it, and he doesn't want to put Izuku in unnecessary danger.

Though whether the passing of One for All goes according to plan remains to be seen.

Shigaraki? Nah, she's gonna have it out for Todoroki.

Which one? Yes.

She'd probably have beef with Shoto and think Touya/Dabi is justified in everything he does, including attempting to murder his youngest brother

Though if Dabi was a girl then she would love Dabi even more

AU where Touya and Keigo are changed at birth. They’re born at the same day and hospital for some weird coincidence.

1- So most newborn babies look a lot alike, which is why it is imperative that the nurses are diligent when identifying each baby. However, one nurse had a careless fling with a doctor the night a pair of babies were born and they misidentified the babies.

2- When Enji's son starts growing wings, he gets very confused and looks at Rei questioningly. Rei also shrugs with confusion and they decide to do the smart thing and have a DNA test done. When the results came back with a negative relation, Enji decides to still keep the child but for future kids they will be extra careful to make sure this slip up never happens again.

3- Meanwhile, neither of the Takami parents notice that their son who has a fire Quirk is not actually their son. They're too focused on avoiding the authorities; especially considering a close call when they were at the same hospital as the Number Two Hero himself.

4- Keigo has a lot of fun training with his dad and playing with his younger siblings. He actually looks forward to when Shoto grows up and they can be Heroes together; because Keigo doesn't hurt himself with his Quirk, Enji is actually in a marginally better mental state and the Todoroki Family is actually perfectly functional for once.

5- Eventually, under all of the pressure of hiding and dealing with a father who is just awful, Touya snaps and sets the man on fire. He has a look of pure satisfaction watching the feathers burn away as that idiot man runs for his life. It is then that he witnesses Endeavor arrest him, which gives Touya a real spark. The spark to do whatever he can to be a Hero. Even if it means signing his life away to the HPSC.

BONUS- When Keigo graduates from UA, he actually becomes the new Number Two Hero in two years. His father couldn't be more proud of him.

Number 17 for the ask game, please!

Ask Game~

17- There should be more of this type of fic/art

I actually already answered this one here and my answer still doesn't change but I will add something else

I would love to see more AUs based on everyone's favorite childhood media; whether it's Avatar the Last Airbender, Pokemon, Digimon, or something more obscure like fucking Barbie: Fairytopia

We all deserve to embrace our inner child when making AUs! I want to see the passion and love put behind them!
