After a 10 year hiatus or so I recently started working on a new fanfiction. I tried to blend in a lot of things on my mind as well as as many canon things I could think of and, of course, my favorite ship: Kacchako. But slow SLOOOOW, I want this to be believable!
Though I enjoy reading fanfictions myself with a lot of different set ups, I prefer writing stories true to canon as good as possible. I personally don't like to twitch characters and I love spinning ideas further, letting the characters interact and let their personalities unfold a story. Also, I budged a lot of original characters in to develop a whole new environment and show different aspects of a character by letting them interact with certain people by choice to cover some topics I couldn't with canon characters in that way. E.g. Todoroki surely wouldn't talk about his family issues with just anyone except maybe Midoriya and what do I do when little Cinnamonroll is not available? I try to create a believable situation with a new character involved. Of course a lot of people don't like getting OCs involved (fun fact, I'm one of them but only if they are too one dimensional and not plot fitting) but for what I want to tell, I need OCs.
The fic revolves around a more than slow burn Kacchako but also a lot about Bakugous character in particular (including a brotherly but difficult relationship with Kirishima and some serious difficult discussions with his instructor (an OC btw))
The fanfiction will become a long one (slow pacing) but I want to take my time granting character development to Uraraka, Todoroki, Kirishima and Kaminari as well.
SPOILER WARNING: The fanfic takes place after the Yakuza Arc and I didn't include recent developments.
