Deku really does deserves the title one for all after being shipped with every single person that has ever interacted with him.

MHA Fankid Quirk Experiments Part 3:

I did some more fankid quirk experiments for fun. Though I didn't even bother with giving them hero names or go into what I think they would look like. I mostly just wanted to get the quirk ideas out there asap. Maybe I'll edit this post later to give them hero names or describe what I think they would look like. For now, I'm content with what I have. I think I'm out of interesting quirk combo ideas for now. Izuku MidoriyaxMelissa Shield-

Hisoku (春足):

Pronouns: He/Him

Quirk: Orbital pull, this quirk gives Hisoku the ability to set his eyes on his target and set the target as his orbit and manipulate his own gravity to get to his target faster with great dexterity and precision. This quirk is a fusion between Inko Midoriya’s quirk and David Shield’s quirk.

I think while the quirk would make him run faster and jump higher, he does not get stronger. So his drawback is that he needs to be careful of what he’s setting his target on so he doesn’t get himself hurt or worse from the impact. The point of the quirk is that Hisoku is always ready to run to help those in need and catch somebody if they fall (within his weight limit).

Kani (火新):

Pronouns: She/Her

Quirk: Heroic spark, (based on a combination of Hisashi’s fire breath and Inko’s quirk) whenever Kani touches someone (or perhaps even herself), they would receive a boost of energy or confidence, making them more capable of handling challenges. This could manifest as temporary increased physical strength, mental clarity, or speed—basically becoming "fired up" to succeed. The more she has won in the past, the stronger her ability to "fire up" others, but as the stakes get higher, the effect becomes less pronounced. If she ever considers anything she did recently a loss, she’s back at square one with her quirk and needs to win more minor challenges so her quirk can help increase the odds of a battle as much as it can.

Once her quirk gets stronger, she won’t even need to touch people to give them a mental and physical boost. She can use her voice to give fired-up speeches that affect multiple people at once.

Tenya IidaxMei Hatsume-

Amami (天光):

Pronouns: She/Her

Quirk: Engine, like Tenya’s quirk, Amami has her engine quirk on the sides of her head (gives off the vibe of axolotl gills almost). However, instead of using the engine to propel herself faster, the engine acts as a generator to fuel a super-powered version of her brain. When using her quirk, her brain acts as a supercomputer and can create near-perfect predictions of potential outcomes and solutions for problems based on the information she is provided. However, since it’s based on only the information she’s received, her hypotheses aren’t 100% accurate thanks to unaccounted-for variables that could occur in her thought process.

The drawback of this is that if she uses the superpowered version of her brain too long, the engine overheats, and she gets massive headaches from dehydration. After that, she gets grouchy and doesn’t want to tell anybody anything until her headache is gone and she has something to drink something to refuel herself (grape juice, chocolate milk, or orange juice are preferable)

Tensakan (天目):

Pronouns: He/Him

Quirk: Camera, like Mei’s zoom quirk, Tensakan can “see” everything in an area within 5 kilometers. Even if he’s trapped in a concrete, empty room with no windows, Tensakan can still sense if there’s life outside his general area based on body heat. He can also project holograms of what he’s seen through his eyes like a projector. Though projections only work if he actually saw it. It doesn’t work if he only saw it through body heat when his vision was obstructed.

His other drawback is that his vision gets blurry if he uses his quirk too long and needs a mental break until his eyes clear up again. Apple juice, carrot juice, and orange juice help him refuel and get his vision back faster.

Ojiro MashiraoxToru Hagakure-

Akibi (晶尾):

Pronouns: She/Her

Quirk: Invisible tail, that’s it. The drawback is she can’t wear anything but skirts or dresses. It’s so she can properly use her quirk without being exposed and embarrassingly showing her backside. However, I suppose the other workaround Akibi could try trench coats or capes if she wants to wear pants.

Minoru MinetaxPony Tsunotori (I really, really can’t stand Mineta don’t get me wrong. I just had an idea and Pony was the best option for me to help bring that idea to life. Also, Mineta deserves a taste of his own medicine by having a daughter who’s just as perverted as he was! Karmic justice baby! Also, not for nothing, Pony is not really innocent either because she did make an insensitive comment to Shoji that aged like milk as the series continued. ((Doesn’t mean I think she deserves to be with Mineta because of it, I just think it would be funny for Mineta of all characters to call her out on her discrimination. XD)) I hate that the potential for the ship name, MinePony is so good but Mineta sucks so much. I’m doing it for the quirk idea though!)-

Nyumi (乳珠):

Pronouns: She/Her

Quirk: Bubble cannon, Nyumi’s horns look like similar to boba straws. Unlike Pony’s quirk, her horns don’t detach but her bubbly hair still does. She uses her straw-like horns as cannons to shoot her balls with more precision and force than Mineta does. When using her quirk the balls pop on impact and a sticky substance bursts out of the balls that cover more area than Mineta’s sticky balls do. However, she still can throw her balls regularly if she doesn’t need them to pop.

Neito MonomaxCamie Utsushimi (they literally never met but if she can handle Bakugo, she can handle Monoma. Plus, there’s so much quirk gene mixing potential with this pair!)

Eisha (映者)

Pronouns: They/Them

Quirk: Method Actor, with this quirk Eisha is able to copy the appearance and quirk of a person to an extent. The quirk activates when Eisha can see themself in a person and get into character before they take on the visual/audio appearance and quirk of their target. However, despite looking like the person they’re acting as, their appearance is just a projection with limited mass and it’s still them under the illusion. So even if a person touches them when they're using their quirk and it feels real, the illusion has about as much durability as Eisha does in their regular form. They can only copy one quirk at a time when they’re using their quirk, and they can only change to a different quirk once they let go of the illusion.

Even then they need time to refresh after spending so much time in character.  Like their father, Neito the quirk they copy is less powerful than the original. They can only use quirks that don’t require the years of physical training it would take to get to where the original is. The copied quirk only lasts about 5 minutes, but the illusion lasts longer as long as Eisha doesn’t break character or doesn’t take too much damage while in disguise.

BNHA Rarepair Horror Fest #1!

~~~~~~~~~~

This event was organized by: @bnhararepairhub

~~~~~~~~~~

Rarepair - Izuku Midoriya x Melissa Shield (DekuLissa/DekuMeli)

Prompt/Title - Japanese Horror Movies

Cold autumn wind whistled outside Midoriya’s apartment. It was October 31st - so what better to do than to cuddle with your girlfriend and watch classic American horror movies?

“What do you want to watch now?” Melissa held the TV remote in her hands, waiting for her boyfriend to fire a suggestion.

“What have we watched so far?”

“Too much to count,” Melissa didn’t want to think about the incredulous amount of time they had spent watching movies.

Midoriya thought for a moment as he stretched the hours of binge watching out of him. “As much as I love your American movies, why don’t we watch some of mine?”

“You have horror movies?”

“Not just any horror movies - the scariest Japanese horror movies of all time!!”

Melissa laughed, “Okay, let’s see if they’re as scary as you say they are.”

Midoriya shuffled through his collection of DVDs and shoved one in the DVD player.

“Prepare yourself…” he chuckled.

—LATER—

The living room was dark, which was good, because then Midoriya couldn’t see Melissa’s petrified face. But it also didn’t matter, because she clung to him like Velcro anyway.

Midoriya held back a laugh, “are you scared?”

“Maybe…” admitted Melissa. “I hate this movie…”

Midoriya pet the back of her hair, “Ju-On is a classic.”

She scoffed, “so is IT.”

He laughed at her quip and pulled her close. “Don’t worry, it’s all fiction anyway.”

As the movie moved to its credits, bold, white words stood out from the dark background:

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

Title: What We Lack Part 5 Pairing:  Kacchako, Deku/Melissa, mention of Todomomo Rating: T Word Count:  3,167 Read on Ao3 Summary:  

Quirkless.

They’re the last people anyone expects to have a child without a quirk.

Neither of them can fully wrap their heads around it, but Ochako knows Katsuki is struggling far more than her.

Thank you to @its-love-u-asshole for beta-ing

Full fic under the cut

Ochako made her way to the kitchen and began to set the table, leaving Katsuki to work on the food.

Her eyes glanced up at his back, the muscles pulsing as he cooked, his arms moving quickly while he chopped vegetables.

She sighed, knowing Deku and Melissa were most likely speaking about him right now. He probably knew too, which only made him angrier. Deku was one of her close friends, but Katsuki never got over his rivalry with the boy. They were friendlier, but she knew Katsuki's frustrations would always have some bite to it.

She placed the final plate down and slowly walked towards him. She curled her fingers around his arm. "Katsuki," she whispered.

"Don't," he hissed, immediately tensing under her touch. He moved back away from her.

"Don't what?" she asked softly.

"I can't fuckin' do this Ochako. I can't have you yelling at me about our esteemed guests-"

She frowned, squeezing her hand around his arm tighter. "Then don't, Katsuki. Don't do this. Deku and Melissa are just trying to help, Melissa said some beautiful things to our girl. Why can't we focus on that?" Ochako said, her voice trembling.

"Because they said it," he hissed, turning around. He glared down at her. "They know all the perfect things to say to our girl. Why don't you just give her to them? Since they know-"

 Slap

There was a loud sound as Ochako's hand connected with Katsuki's cheek. She gasped at her own action, quickly pulling her hand back. Her brown eyes trembled as she watched the red trickle onto his cheek from where her palm made contact with his skin.

"I'm... I'm sorry..." she whispered. "I... I... how dare you... suggest giving her to them!" she hissed softly.

His eyes glanced downward and he pressed his own hand to his probably tingling cheek. "You know I didn't fuckin' mean it like that-"

"What if she heard you?!" Ochako growled.

"She didn't," Katsuki snapped back.

"But what if she had!?" Ochako pushed.

"...Let's just get this fucking dinner over with," he mumbled and turned back towards the pot.

"Yes," Ochako whispered, "Sayuri seems happy after speaking to Melissa. That was the whole point."

Katsuki didn't answer her after that, and Ochako's hand trembled against her chest. She didn't mean to slap him, but she wanted to knock some sense into him. He was always so blinded by his rage with Deku...

She knew it was difficult. Of course she wanted to be the one to tell her daughter all the perfect things to make her smile. She wanted to have all the right words sitting on the tip of her tongue, ready to be spoken at a moment's notice. But parenting wasn't so simple, wasn't that easy... and sometimes parents didn't know the right thing to say to their child.

"Food's ready," Katsuki murmured, and Ochako nodded, heading back to the living room.

"Good news! Food is almost done so we can finally eat," she said, clapping her palms together gently, careful not to let her fingers fully touch.

"How is he?" Deku asked, glancing to his wife before standing.

"He's... He needs to learn that we're not always going to be able to fix everything... I think..." Ochako said.

"Of course you're not," Melissa giggled softly, touching her shoulder. "You just have to do the best you can. No matter what Sayuri is always going to love her parents. Especially if you both love her as much as you do."

"I know. Maybe we love her a little too much," she sighed softly.

"There's no such thing," Deku smiled. "I'll go get the kids."

"Thank you," she nodded, making her way to her son’s room. "Shouhei! Dinner!" She swung the door open on him and he stared at her for a moment, his hands pressed together tightly. He pointed his finger up and the handheld game rose up and slammed against his pillow, immediately slipping under the blanket covers. If he thought he was being sneaky, using his quirk like that was the exact opposite. He smiled, trying to look innocent.

"What were you doing?" She placed her hand on her hip, too tired to argue with her son now too.

"'Kay Mama," he said, hopping off his bed. "I'm comin' to dinner!" he said, ignoring her question as he dashed towards the door.

She placed her hand in front of him. "Shouhei. You know you're not allowed to play games until you're done with your homework."

He immediately pouted. "Sayuri got to play with Kazuya!"

She rolled her eyes. "Go take a seat, we'll discuss this when we don't have company."

Ochako followed her son's dejected form as Sayuri and Kazuya zoomed by. "And then later we gotta start looking at math! I think math is the most important subject!"

"What?! No way! It's gotta be science!" Kazuya argued, the two of them hopping up onto their seats.

"No running!" Deku called after them, following them to the kitchen.

"They've technically already stopped," Ochako giggled.

Deku sighed, completely defeated. "I don't know why I even try sometimes."

"Auntie Melissa?" Sayuri asked, sitting up on her chair. "Do you think science or math is more important?"

"Uh oh," Deku laughed, taking a seat next to his wife. "Now you're asking the really hard questions, Sayu-chan."

"Both of them are boring," Shouhei snorted.

"Shouhei," Ochako warned, helping as Katsuki silently carried over some plates of food, placing them in the middle of the long table.

"Hm," Melissa said, tilting her head back and forth while she tried to decide. "Both are incredibly important. Science you have a little bit more... creativity, so I've always found science more fun," she smiled. "However, the two go hand in hand."

"See! So you do have to be good at both!" Sayuri giggled.

"It's important to do well with all your subjects!" Melissa said, turning her gaze towards Shouhei. "Even the boring ones."

"All of them are boring," the young boy complained.

Katsuki placed some food on Shouhei's plate aggressively. "If you don't study, you don't get to play video games."

"Yeah, yeah," Shouhei folded his arms. "I know."

Katsuki took a seat, setting the last plate down. Ochako noticed how he turned his red eyes towards Deku, looking as if he wanted to speak. Perhaps he knew this wasn't the time, not with the children around.

They served the food, and began more casual conversation. The children babbled on about school and what the most important subject was, and Melissa talked about work while the kids were distracted. Her company was beginning work on new tools to assist heroes. She was wanting to start more quirk-related research, but Ochako could tell she was hesitant.

"It's been coming along quite nicely, as I'm sure you're all aware," she nodded. "Izuku and I have been testing lots of equipment. Mei-chan and I were developing something for his quirk, though he just seems to get stronger and stronger. Soon you won't need anything from me!" she giggled.

Katsuki's fingers clenched around his chopsticks and Ochako placed her hand over his, not wanting him to break them.

"That's ridiculous, Melissa," Izuku laughed. "All Might and your father worked together for years, even when he was at his strongest. I'll always need your support." He leaned over and kissed her cheek.

"A lot of heroes would be lost without the support from your company, Melissa. Iida-kun is always telling me about Mei-chan's ideas," Ochako said.

Melissa laughed. "Oh yes, Mei-chan is very enthusiastic!"

"Katsuki loves the streamlined grenade gauntlets you made him," Ochako continued and Katsuki shoveled food into his mouth.

"They're easier to use," he grumbled, not wanting to look the blonde woman in the eye.

"I'm glad!" Melissa smiled.

"Mommy! When are you going to make something for my quirk!?" Kazuya said, tugging on his mom's sleeve as he interrupted the conversation.

"Oh! Did you tell Uncle Kacchan and Auntie Ocha about your quirk, Kazu?" Deku asked, and Kazuya's face immediately lit up.

"No!" he said. "Me and Sayu-chan were too busy studying!"

"Why don't you show us now?" Ochako asked, her gaze turning to Katsuki momentarily. Against her palm, his hand curled into a fist, growing sweatier against hers.

Kazuya blushed. "It's... kind of similar to your quirk, Auntie Ocha!" he said, placing his chopsticks down. He held his small hand out over the chopsticks, doing a gentle pulling movement as the objects rose into the air and pressed against his palm. "Tada!" he said. "I can... make objects float to me!"

"Wow!" Ochako clapped. "Very impressive."

"Mhm!" he nodded, looking proud of himself.

"So cool, Kazu!" Sayuri giggled, watching him. "Do it again!"

The two children were immediately lost in their own world, Kazuya showing off for the girl. The excitement didn't seem to die however, the two of them thrilled to be focusing on the small trick.

"My... mother has almost the same quirk," Deku chuckled. "I guess it skipped me and went straight to him," Deku explained.

"We were honestly... surprised," Melissa said. "Genetically, it doesn't really make sense," she paused, "but then again what does!"

"Yeah," Katsuki grumbled. "What fuckin' does..." he muttered under his breath.

"Katsuki!" she hissed, and punched his arm.

"Sayu-chan and I are going to be scientists together and work with my mom!" Kazuya declared loudly, both children laughing.

"Boring," Shouhei snorted.

"Oi, don't talk about your sister's dreams like that," Katsuki growled, pointing his chopsticks at his son.

"Yeah, yeah," he huffed.

Katsuki smirked and leaned towards the young boy. "You're just angry because you know we're not going to let you play games until you finish your homework. Don't take it out on your sister."

"Shut up, Dad!"

"Boys... please," Ochako sighed, shaking her head. "Do you see what I have to deal with?"

"Trust me, I know," Melissa snorted.

"Don't worry, Mommy!" Sayuri giggled. "You have me!" She posed proudly.

"Of course I do, baby girl!" she smiled.

The dinner continued on, everyone seeming to be far more relaxed. Katsuki even cracked a smile a few times, though Ochako could tell he was purposefully holding himself back. She noticed his gaze kept falling on Kazuya and Sayuri, watching as they spoke excitedly about being famous scientists. Ochako silently prayed this wouldn't be a phase... maybe Sayuri would focus on the support aspects of the hero profession... maybe she wouldn't care she couldn't be a hero. Children changed their minds all the time.

With giant yawn, Kazuya leaned against his mother, the conversation having lasted for quite some time. "Well it seems like it's about that time..." Melissa commented, stroking through her son's blond hair.

"Mhm, someone still has homework to do," Ochako teased, glancing towards her son.

"Quit reminding me! I know!" he snapped.

"Shouhei..." Ochako warned, her brown eyes narrowing.

"What? Dad yells all the time..." he grumbled, slouching in his chair.

"Help your father clear the plates," she instructed, Katsuki already starting to clear the table off.

"Fine," he huffed, following Katsuki to the kitchen with a few of the smaller plates.

"Thank you so much for having us over," Melissa said, bowing her head. "Are you sure you don't need help cleaning up?"

"No, of course not! We really appreciate you coming and I'm... I apologize for the outburst," she said softly, walking with them towards the front door.

"It's really alright," Deku nodded. "We know it will probably take a bit of time for him to adjust."

"Come say bye!" Ochako called out, and Sayuri was immediately by her side, wrapping her small arms around Kazuya. "Good night Kazuya!" she said, hugging him.

"Bye Sayu-chan!" he giggled, hugging her back. "Next time we can talk about our science plans!"

"Yes!" she cheered. The two babbled excitedly to each other, laughing innocently about their futures.

"Thank you for coming," Ochako said, giving Melissa and Deku both hugs goodbye. Her arms lingered around her best friend for a moment. "I... I really do appreciate it."

"Oi..." Katsuki mumbled, leaning against the wall by their entrance. He immediately made her jump back, turning towards her husband. He stepped forward, glaring at Deku.

"Kacchan... I-"

"Oi!" he repeated and rubbed the back of his neck. "...You... nerds," he muttered, glancing towards Melissa too. "You said... good... things to her," he said softly, his voice quiet as he struggled to speak. "Thanks..."

Both Deku and Melissa looked shocked by the confession. "I simply spoke the truth," Melissa said softly.

"You know we'll always support you and your family, Kacchan," Deku nodded, bowing his head.

Katsuki cheeks flushed. "Yeah whatever, same, get out of my house," he snarled, rushing the words out. He leaned down and picked up Sayuri, holding her against his hip. "It's time for bed, baby girl." He nodded once more to them, carrying her away down the hall.

"Aw Daddy! I'm not even that tired!" Ochako heard her whine as Katsuki carried her away.

"Thank you," she said once more.

"You're gonna be fine, Ochako-chan," Deku smiled. "She's going to be fine and Kacchan is going to be fine."

"I know," she said, glancing after her husband.

"It's just all new and shocking," Melissa added. "But we're here for you. If you need anything just call or text."

"Of course."

With a bow, she waved goodbye to Deku and his family, and she took a deep breath, leaning against the door once they left. She was thankful Katsuki spoke up at the end, but there was still so much she needed to say to him... apologies which hung on her lips.

She made her way to Shouhei's room first, gently knocking on the door. He sat at his desk, looking disgruntled about doing his homework.

"I'm doin' it!" he snapped, scribbling something down in his notebook.

She laughed, and made her way to his side, kissing his head. "I know you are. My brave man, suffering through math."

"Someone's gotta do it," he mumbled. "But I really don't get why it has to be me... Do you and Dad really do math being heroes?"

"Mmm... sometimes!" she giggled. "If I didn't know math, how would I be able to count how many villains there are?!"

Shouhei's face flattened. "Mom. I know how to count."

"I know you do," she teased. "Homework is just part of life. I suffered through it too," she said.

"Yeah, yeah," he snorted.

"Come say goodnight when you're done okay?" she said, kissing his head one more time as she decided to leave her son in peace.

Further down the hall, Sayuri's door was open, and Katsuki was crouched next to her bed.

"But I don't wanna go to bed, Daddy," she whined. "Shouhei gets to stay up!"

"Shouhei is older and he's doing homework," he said, stroking his fingers through her blonde hair. "Besides, all good scientists need to get their rest."

"Yeah, that's true. I'm gonna make the best things for you, Daddy!" she cheered. "Even better than Auntie Melissa!"

"I'm sure you will baby girl. You're smart. I'm freakin' proud already."

Sayuri gasped and placed her hand over Katsuki's mouth. "Daddy said a swear!"

"A swear?" he mumbled. "What did I say?!"

"Well I can't say it, then I would say the bad word!" she said, giggling.

"I'll... put a coin in the jar..." he sighed, wrapping his fingers around her tiny wrist and he kissed at her palm. "Is that good?"

"Very good, Daddy," she said, her mouth yawning wide.

"Alright, baby girl. Time for bed," he said, leaning over to kiss her forehead.

"Night Daddy," she said as Katsuki pulled away, walking towards where Ochako stood in the doorway.

"Night sweetheart," she called quietly, turning off the light as she shut her door.

She followed her husband back to the living room and he took a seat on the couch. "Shouhei doin' his work finally?"

"Mhm. I told him to come out when he's done to say goodnight," Ochako whispered, taking a seat on the couch next to him.

"Good," he huffed, folding his arms.

She sat in silence, letting the tension settle between them. Katsuki seemed calmer, but she knew evenings with Deku always stressed him out and made him question a variety of things. She knew Katsuki felt like Deku was always ahead of him... with All Might... in hero ranking... and now, even his son had a quirk while their daughter did not. She knew it must be weighing heavily on her husband.

Ochako felt guilt tugging on her heart. She knew Katsuki would absolutely never give up their daughter. If Ochako was his angel, Sayuri was his princess, and he couldn't live without any member of their family. Still, her knee-jerk reaction, with all the tension building in the room was to slap him. It felt so wrong; they were all hurting.

"You don't have to apologize," he mumbled, his eyes turned towards their carpet.

"Eh?" she gasped, pulled from her thoughts.

"I know you're thinking about apologizing for slapping me. But I deserved it," he said, his red eyes turning to meet hers.

"Oh Katsuki... no... you didn't. I-I shouldn't have slapped you. I just didn't know what to do."

"I was being selfish," he said softly, squeezing his palms together.

"A little," she said, scooting closer to him, her palm gently resting on top of both his hands. "But... I know how you get about Deku-kun... and tonight was a lot... You didn't deserve that."

"I should never have fucking said what I said... I didn't... I didn't mean it. I wouldn't give that kid up for fucking anything... either of them."

"I know you wouldn't," she said, and she stroked her fingers gently over his cheek. "You love them... just as much as I do."

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand to his lips. "I love you..." he whispered and she leaned forward, pressing her head against his shoulder.

"I love you too, Katsuki."

He smiled, sitting back to look at her. "She... seems pretty excited about this science bullshit."

"She does... she's a determined girl..."

"Just like you," he said softly, leaning up to press his lips against Ochako's, kissing her softly.

"Just like both of us, though I do hope she stays determined and doesn't get as stubborn as you," she teased.

"A little stubbornness won't kill her," he chuckled, kissing her again. He sighed, his rough fingers stroking over Ochako's round cheek. "We're gonna figure this shit out."

"I know," she said.

"I will never let her suffer. Ever," he said, determination flicking across his red eyes. She smiled, knowing exactly where her daughter inherited the trait from.

"I know," she repeated, leaning against her husband.

She knew, no questions asked or words needed; they both would protect their family with their lives.
