Cataclysm

a sequel to Razzmatazz gen • rated T • 1/8 chapters

Opinion Editorial • Tokyo Times Hero Intern Deku: Our Next Savior, or the Catalyst of Hero Society’s Downfall? By Yumoto Ryobe

It’s been a month since Hosu City was rocked with attacks from the newest villain group, the League of Villains, and Hero Intern Deku’s (unranked) takedown of the serial killer Stain, his first S ranked villain arrest. Pro Hero media is a mess of differing opinions on Deku, ranging from idolization to condemnation. Fan clubs and hate clubs alike have popped up online. Despite his rousing speech in Hosu and his call to action, Deku has been notably absent from the public eye in any meaningful way.

With tensions high and no word from the one at the heart of all the chaos, the question must be asked: just what the hell is Hero Intern Deku doing?

(Honestly? His best.)

Izuku has plans for everything.

He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

(Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

8.9k • Edamura/Laurent + found family Team Confidence • rated T

Edamura eyes the ‘Days Since Laurent’s Last Himbo Nonsense’ sign on the fridge. The messy five that was written there when Edamura left for work has been wiped out and replaced with a big, fat zero. 

“What did you do this time?”

“Whatever do you mean, my dear Edamame?”

Edamura’s gaze flickers to the sign next to Laurent’s Himbo sign, reading ‘Days Since Last Attempted Con’ and notes that it has also been reset back to zero.

(Four former con artists move in together and attempt to settle into a normal, honest life. What could possibly go wrong?)

Yuuri arrives about half an hour later to find Yurio still ranting, Georgi hunched over with his head in his hands, Mila excitedly shaking her glitter encrusted banner, and Yakov observing the chaos from a distance. In the middle of it all, Viktor is smiling, incandescently happy.

Yuuri’s laugh bubbles out of him. He waves dorkily, carry-on luggage bouncing against his calves as he runs into Viktor’s arms.

“I’m home!”

Izuku runs a fictional horror radio show. Because ghosts aren’t real. Right?

(“Holy shit, ghosts are real,” Izuku whispers. Then, with the smugness of a sixteen-year-old who just won a decade long bet, “I knew it! Kacchan owes me five hundred yen!”

“Midoriya,” Todoroki sighs, “this ghost is trying to kill us.”)
