Short summary/description: Izuku's been having strange dreams.
Shadowed figures all around him, whispers that he can't discern, and all the while everyone around him seems to be far too worried about his safety than strictly necessary.
My sixteenth bad things happen bingo entry! Prompt: Eye Scream
Technically, you don't have to know TMA to read this fic!
Thinking about a Yoichi who gave in and joined All For One after the Vault™. A Yoichi whose willpower wasn't enough to withstand the loneliness, the isolation, the darkness. Thinking about how he'd convince himself that killing people and dismantling society was the moral thing to do.
Thinking about how his villain name would eventually become Mercy. Because he kills you quickly. Because that's what people beg for. Because that's what he'd tell you he was giving you.
Mercy.
After Yoichi dies Second starts realizing he has a lot of gaps in his memories and people recall interacting with him while he has no recollection of the incident. Third notices sometimes Second acts different than usual. The reason why is Yoichi is able to possess any OFA holder and make them do as he pleases, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to stop his brother.
Ooo, Yoichi is going to be very evil in this one.
1. This universe started as Duoholders, with Yoichi dating Second. Third was a good friend to both of them, though he liked to tease Second about becoming All for One's brother-in-law. Yoichi made a pass at Third once and suggested a threesome, but Third turned him down. Second and Third always treated each other like family, not a romantic prospect. But after Yoichi dies, suddenly "Second" is flirting with Third overly aggressively. He's even using cutesy pickup lines, which were more Yoichi's thing. Initially Third thinks that it's the trauma talking. He feels very uncomfortable but laughs it off and hopes they can go back to normal.
2. "Second" is suddenly a lot more aggressive about pursuing All for One. He no longer seems to care about causalities among their people or civilians, as long as he can kill win. Third also thinks this is trauma at first. When Third finally confronts Second and gives him a big "What the hell man, pull yourself together and stop acting like a dick!" speech, Second is very confused. It turns out Second doesn't remember giving any of those orders and he's horrified with the notion that he hit on Third.
3. Second doesn't want to believe badly of the person he loved. Third figures it out faster. Doing some digging into Yoichi's past, Third learns that Yoichi got in trouble repeatedly at school for violence. Once Yoichi stabbed out another student's eye with a pencil because he claimed the other kid was a bully. The school considered this grossly disproportionate and expelled him. Yoichi's book reports reveal he has a very black and white view of good and evil, and he considers any actions justified to fight "evil."
4. Some background that Third doesn't know: this is another AU where yandere runs in the family, but AFO is a familial yandere and Yoichi is a romantic yandere with an obsession with both Second and Third. Yoichi is also a sociopath who got his morals from comic books, but not in a cracky way, in a way where his sense of right and wrong is completely distorted. AFO was overly obsessive and did stick Yoichi in a bank vault. However, Yoichi didn't admit to his rescuers that before his imprisonment he'd poisoned and killed dozens of his brother's followers, because in Yoichi's eyes, if you're a villain then you deserve to die. This included people unknowingly working for All for One's civilian businesses.
5. After what he learns, Third tries to rally the vigilantes against Yoichi but they do not believe their leader is possessed. Yoichi can be very charming. Then Third tries to flee, but Yoichi catches him and forces OFA on him. Afterward, Yoichi goes to deliberately die at AFO's hands so that he can keep Second in the Void and possess Third by controlling his body. Yoichi is smiling when he dies in Second's body because he told his brother all about his plan moments before his death. By the way, Second is screaming inside from pain and betrayal. This is even worse for Second than Third because he truly loved Yoichi.
6. Yoichi continues to manipulate all of his successors as puppets against his brother. Including the ninth, his nephew...
(All of ask game AUs are free to use in my Three Weeks of Trioholders event. Yes, even this twisted brainchild.)
Heh. My submission for the One for All October Event because how could I resist a chance to draw evil Yoichi in a red suit and turtle neck?
I hope this isn’t too much blood-
