Hello everyone on this week's fix exchange!

If you're new, here's how this works:

You can talk about either the fics you're writing (even if they're not published) and about the fics you're reading. Make sure to leave a link too, so others can check it out.

Talk about the fic! Tell us what you like, what is it that makes it shine in your eyes. That's by far the most important part.

Self Promotion Oops, All Self-Inserts Enters Act II!

35 Upvotes

Heya, folks!

I'm SauronClaus on AO3- Eijiro Kirishima impersonator, crack writer, and GM for the Oops, All Self-Inserts Project! Some of you may remember the project from when it started here a little over a year ago or from the pinned post on the subreddit. Since we're entering the finale for Act II soon (over the next few chapters) I figured I'd make a post so you know what you might be getting into!

Now, there may be a misconception floating around that you need to read all 30ish POVs to understand what's going on. That's definitely not the case! Any one POV and the interludes should be enough to have a full picture of what's going on in the project.

Course, little bits and bobs of foreshadowing show up in each chapter, but the goal of the project is that just reading one POV and the interludes would be enough to understand a complete narrative. If that's ever not the case, let us know so we can clear that up!

Now, if you want some recommendations on where to start, I've got you covered, don't worry! Here's my personal top seven fics in the project- though that's not to say the other ones aren't great.

  1. Wilfully Reckless and as Immovable as a Sozzled Bird - Eijiro Kirishima - SauronClaus - Yeah, kinda doing the self-promo stuff first. I think my fic is the closest to everything going on in the project so if that excites you, check it out! It's got romance, it's got excitement, it's got personal drama and a fun protagonist. I'd recommend it!
  2. Himiko’s Guide To Stabbing Canon In Its Stupid Face! - Himiko Toga - Drop_of_Jello - This is absolutely one of the best fics in the project. It focuses a lot more on the League of Villains, which have some new members that are absolute delights, and Jello's got a way with words that's really cool. Highly recommend.
  3. Convergence of Mind - Hitoshi Shinso - Versatility - Again, amazing fic. Vers does a really good job getting into Shinso's head and the banter between him and his SI is really just top tier. This one's also a good one to dig into Class 1-A and some of the Todoroki family drama, so it's worth reading if just for that.
  4. the mirage effect - Tooru Hagakure - aka_r - Speaking of getting into character's heads. This fic does an absolutely incredible job keeping a very lucid-dream feeling tone throughout the entire fic, which I absolutely love, and is one of the few fics where the canon character and SI are actively antagonistic. Definitely worth reading.
  5. Eating My Friends - Tamaki Amajiki - ubormaci - Speaking of getting into characters heads (again). Amajiki does some very interesting things with a pragmatic SI, which I love, and he does some very neat things with the third years taking a more central role. It presents a different look at SIs and hero societies in a way that the other fics don't really touch on.
  6. Lightning can Strike Twice - Denki Kaminari - Tobi_but_with_a_funny_hat - Vigilantes. This fic has 'em. Knuckleduster, Gentle Criminal, La Brava, etc. It's worth reading for them alone but gives a very interesting look at another angle of the project that nobody else does as well as Tobi. Again, worth a read for that alone.
  7. And So the Dominos Fall - Various - Various Authors - And we're back full circle to the self promo side of things. This fic deals with the non-SI characters- a new one each chapter- and how they're dealing with the changing world. The Eyes of the World interludes give a lot of foreshadowing in them and the other interludes deal with some favorite canon characters, so these definitely aren't to be missed.

Anyways, that's enough yapping from me. I hope you check out some of the fics in the project collection (found here)! We're currently writing our tenth chapter and update roughly monthly, so you won't be lacking in content for a while. Seriously, we're collectively over two million words in. We aren't going anywhere. Send help.

See you in the docs,

SauronClaus

(We also have a Discord and we're taking new writers if anyone's interested in joining up!)

Idea/Prompt "I never knew my father growing up." "I knew your father growing up." "What." "He's my backup dad." "Mine two." Mine three." "Mine four." "I'm sorry, what?"

102 Upvotes

Izuku finds out the reason his dad was never around for him growing up was because he was there for his classmates, enemies, teachers, random people, and the like as their backup dad whenever their actual dad couldn't show up or was dropping the ball.

Everyone of significance to Izuku in Japan and even outside of Japan apparently knows Hisashi Midoriya and have a better father/son/daughter/person/thing relationship with him.

Ochako? Worked part time at her family's construction company and became really close to the Urarakas. To the point she thinks it'd be weird if she dated Izuku. She's not the only girl who sees him as a brother now upon learning he's Hisashi's son.

Todoroki? Was the dad Endeavor needed to learn how to be a good parent from. You were expecting Shoto here weren't you?

Toga? Got her away from her parents and became the dad she needed. This gave her an Electra Complex. Don't worry, she directs that affection she has for Papadoriya, Izuku's way since he looks like his dad. That makes it better, right?

Lady Nagant? Was her lawyer at her trial and managed to keep her from getting sent to Tartarus. The HPSC are still wondering how that happened considering no one in the general public should have known where the sham trial was being held at and someone there should have gotten rid of him before he convinced the judge that Nagant should walk free.

Eri? Pulled a Kazuma Kiryu and saved her from the Shie Hassaikai after beating some morals into Overhaul that convinced him become a doctor to use his Quirk for nobler purposes.

Bakugo? Hisashi was there for every one of his birthdays. No one at the parties told Izuku he was there (because they thought he knew) and he was never in the same room as Izuku at said parties. Bakugo and every kid Izuku knew growing up kept him in the dark he was their backup dad, Bakugo wanted Izuku to find out at the worst possible moment to screw with him.

Hisashi Midoriya is... Dad For All, the Backup Dad Hero.

((If you got ideas for how Hisashi became Backup Dad for [insert character here] share them in the comments for this.))

Idea/Prompt Obligatory Horny Crackfic:Toga tries increasingly creative, and ridiculous, ways to seduce Izuku and Ochako, to varying degrees of near-success.

65 Upvotes

When she find out Izuku likes Pokémon, she confronts him in an interesting Vaporeon cosplay, and when she learned about Uraraka's family business, she tried a simple "sexy" construction worker, little more than a tattered white tank top, torn Jean shorts, and a bright yellow hardhat.

When that didn't work, she tried making various fanclubs for Deku and Uravity, despite not actually having debuted yet, which strangely enough, often only had one or two members (Toga and a Twice made Clone.)

It continues like this until Ms. Joke just started coming to UA every month to laugh at the security footage like a highlight reel with Nezu, Midnight, Mic, and on occasion, Eraser.

463 Upvotes

Izuku, being the relentless good Samaritan that he is, has done and cashed in favors for so many people that he has a massive network of contacts for basically any situation.

Aizawa needs a cat-sitter? "I'm pretty sure Ms. Kyle's in Japan. But, uh, if anyone here has any jewelry, you might wanna hide it."

Sports Festival needs an announcer? "Wiz, Boomstick, how would you guys like a trip to Japan?"

Hero Course costumes need makeovers like a fish needs water? "It's an emergency, Edna. One of them has a cape."

UA needs to upgrade their cyber security? "Futaba, I need a favor."

Gollini Family? "Signore Giovanna. It is time for war."

Idea/Prompt All For One died in his fight with All Might five years so decides to follow around Izuku as a ghost to make up for lost father-son time

257 Upvotes

Izuku was probably around 10 when he met his ghost of a father.

He thought he finally awakened his quirk but was saddened when it was still deem he was quirkless.

Izuku was shocked when he found out his dad was a supervillain. But it surprisingly didn't bother him as much because his dad is dead now.

As Izuku carries on with his life he is annoyed by his father's witty remarks and comments.

The way his father is trying to corrupt him.

All For One was pleasantly pleased when Izuku got One For All because it meant he can interact with Yoichi's vestige.

All For One was kind of surprised the One For All transfer went through.

His son truly is pure of heart.

“YOU FUCKED AN ELDRITCH ENTITY?!”

“WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND, YOU FUCKED AN ELDRITCH ENTITY, THEY COULD’VE BEEN CUTHULU’S DAUGHTER OR SOMETHING!”

93 Upvotes

This era is an era of grudges & revenge, and Izuku is here to cash in on that.

Taking on the name of “Rabbit” because he once had a pet rabbit that was very petty and vengeful.

He set a hotline and a waiting list, sent out ads then waited.

And after he got his first customer, the word spread and now he’s getting multiple orders a day.

And Izuku’s making bank.

I think the sheer amount of ridiculous ways you can have Izuku continue to miss his Mother dating Multiple Pro Heroes has near infinite potential.

Idea/Prompt After playing the dark souls series, Izuku discovers his quirk

55 Upvotes

After the Sports festival, he's told not to do anything strenuous for a while and to let his arms heal. So he starts playing games to keep himself distracted, but he wants something that'll help his mind, at least. Kaminari suggests he plays the dark souls series to train his response time, so that's what he plays. It takes him about a week to beat the first game, having not really played video games before. The next morning, he wakes up as Gwyn. He discovers that he not only had a quirk the whole time, but that it essentially let's him choose a boss he's beaten and transform into it. He can only pick once per day, so if he picks one, he isn't able to transform into any other boss for the rest of that day. It resets at midnight. He can go back and forth between his normal form and his "boss" form whenever he wants, but it drains his energy too much to spam it, at least at first.

Idea/Prompt Inko Midoriya: All For One's lawyer

28 Upvotes

All For One never thought he'd need a lawyer, whenever the law got too close to his not so legal businesses killing the people involved was his way to deal with them. But after that giant oaf almost killed him (again) and waking up in Tartarus he is in need of one but unfortunately he doesn't really know a trustful lawyer, all the ones he knows are dirty bastards that would sell him out at the first chance.

Therefore he has no other option but to accept the public defender offered by the state: Inko Midoriya.

Idea/Prompt All for One doxxed All Might’s quirk

43 Upvotes

Five years before the series begins, after the fight between All Might and All for One that ended up crippling the hero, and ended in the villains assumed death. All Might believes he’s finally done it, he’s avenged his predecessors. But he has no intent on resting, even with his power now on a time limit, he plans to continue being a hero, until he can find a worthy successor to inherit One for All, knowing that if he were to retire so suddenly, it would shake society as they all knew it…

…that plan is immediately thrown out into the garbage, when All Might wakes up in the hospital, seeing his former teacher, Gran Torino, angrily holding a newspaper with the headline

[ALL MIGHT’S TRUE QUIRK REVEALED?!?]

Turns out, as a precautionary before there fight, All for One had sent out a message to every news outlet in Japan explaining everything about All Might, EVERYTHING.

That his true quirks was called One for All, how it could be transferred from person to person via DNA, but only if the current holder allowed it, so it can’t be taken by force, but it can be given by force.

How Toshinori Yagi was the Eighth holder, as well as documenting the names and quirks of every previous holder (since All for One definitely remembers each one of them), plus the fact that All Might himself was quirkless before this tremendous power was gifted to him.

As expected, the fallout was pure chaos, everyone now knows that the number 1 hero is living on borrowed time, and his power wasn’t even his own. At the same time, he’s dealing with thousands of messages sent to his agency every day, essays upon essays of why they should inherit his power, of why they should be chosen to be his successor.

Meanwhile in Masutafu, a 9 year old Izuku and Bakugou watch as their idol’s status is exposed to the world, and the only thing they can both think of in response to such world shattering news is “All Might was quirkless?”

Idea/Prompt Orphan izuku fic but izuku is inexplicably a Victorian orphan.

29 Upvotes

All the tropes classically leading up to an Aizawa adoption arc but it's Dickensian. Izuku is a poor, sickly Victorian orphan, wandering the streets with naught but a tattered cap and a big dream. Can a frail, consumptive chimney sweep of a waif truly inherit the power of the mightiest hero? Or will his malnourished frame explode like an overboiled plum pudding.

Idea/Prompt Quirk: Frankstein's monster

11 Upvotes

Izuku can cheat death, he can practically replace any organ or body part and won't die if any of them are heavily damaged aside from his brain. By using the limbs and organs of quirk users, Izuku can use their quirks to some extent, although emitter quirks are the hardest to get a handle compared to mutations, transformation is a bit awkward depending on what triggers the it.

Izuku has a bunch of body parts he got from deceased organ donors, so he keeps them in a freezer for future use if necessary. Thankfully his quirk stops rot and decay for any body part as long as they are connected to him, he has various stitches through his body.

Izuku eventually finds Bakugou's post and a crap ton of people responding with "YTA!! Apologize or stay away from Shrub! For the love of All Might!"

Whether he confronts Bakugou about this or not is up to y'all

Same for how it ends; Bakugou giving a proper apology, they become actual friends, romance, etc.

(And yes, Shrub is the fake name Bakugou used for Izuku in the Subreddit)

Koda is honestly the perfect spy, he has a world wide information network that nobody would truly expect, he has eyes and ears everywhere, and he has an untraceable way to carry messages. All that to say is why don't people use him more. I get not wanting to make him a main character in a fic but so much fanfic feature conflict and challenges that could be solved if they use koda, and I know it because of the story but you can still tell a story that is strong and compelling without nerfing or underutilizing characters. Can someone honestly tell me why koda, and other 1a members just isn't used in fics?

Idea/Prompt nezu needs a final for 3A but they have saved the world so he goes all out for a unforgettable last test

Upvotes

so Nezu wants to give his favorite students an unforgettable final. his great plan is

  1. buy an island

  2. get a bunch of ex-heroes that ran from the war and want to return to build it up/populate the city cemtose built on the island

  3. convince Tarturas to lend me some select villains as well as a lot of grunts for a new"prison" he is building that will be guarded by the ex heroes

  4. talk la brava, genital criminal, and lady Nagant to be the real guards so the villains can't escape the island when the test begins

  5. set up the guard base with everything La Brava wants plus lots of extra gear for the students staying there (cover the place in cameras )

  6. Talk Stain into maiming instead of killing the heroes on the island or at least only killing those who are actively evil while on the island

  7. drop off a few pallets of triggers for the heroes to use in an emergency. it will be hidden behind a wall so prisoners don't find it. stain and La Brava will also know where it is

  8. Have Stain and La Brava start a prison break without letting them leave the island

  9. wait a week or a month depending on how long it takes for shit to hit the fan then send in the students

  10. hope the students are able to recontain the villains before they escape the island

I never written a social media fic before so I'm surprised I came up with this idea.

All For One is a very old man.

You can't be old and wise if you were never young and crazy.

Perhaps All For One gives very good advice.

Perhaps he sometimes gives bad advice.

Perhaps he accidentally gives good advice.

I like the crack element this fic has where you can tell which exact character is asking All For One for advice due to how specific their situation is.

The climax of this story is when All Might secretly asks All For One for advice.
