Rated: M

Notes: It's October, I'm all up in my spooky shit

Eddie’s first thought as consciousness returns is that he’ll murder Jason fucking Carver.

He should have known something was off when the asshole asked to make the deal by Lovers’ Lake, shouldn't have walked into the forest. Because of course his goons were hiding somewhere to tinker with the van.

Eddie heaves a wrecking cough as the memories come.

The rear swerving off the dark road. The brake pedal limp under his foot. Hitting the water. The sickening vertigo as the van went under. Water rising in the footwell, weight pressing in. The noise as the windshield cracked.

The realization that he was gonna die.

"Shhhh, breathe."

A hand in his hair, a voice in his ear.

Air in his lungs.

Eddie's eyes open.

For a second, he thinks he died and went to heaven. Because hovering above him is the prettiest boy he's ever seen. He's ethereal in the moonlight - chiseled features, soft hair, smooth skin dotted in moles.

"Wha-?"

"Don't speak," smiles the boy. His voice settles over Eddie, calm and commanding. "Only just pulled you out."

He turns Eddie's head, probably to check for injuries? Eddie blinks as the surface of the lake swims into focus. Bubbles burst where the van disappeared.

"Fuck," he rasps, sitting up. "Looks like I'm walking home."

"No," coos the boy, and grips his hands. He's close, eyes very bright in the dark. They're hypnotic, like they're sucking him in. "Stay. It's been so long since I ate."

Eddie freezes. Because the boy has just put a hand to his face, and it's clammy and cold like the water. Because there's something spanning between his clawed fingers, something webbed like membranes.

Because the boy doesn't have legs.

His bare torso melts into a coiling mass of tentacles, slithering all around them, wrapping around Eddie’s limbs, cold and moist and choking and-

"Wait!"

The boy - the creature - blinks gleaming eyes at him. One clawed hand pulls Eddie's fingers up to plush lips. They are still bloody from pounding against the walls of the van. A too-long, too-pointed tongue darts out to drag them into a mouth full of sharp fangs and sucks the blood right off.

"You're hungry," Eddie smiles through his horror, tries to make it disarming. "I can get you food. Lots of food, way better than my skinny ass."

The boy releases his fingers with a wet pop.

"Continue."

Eddie frantically rambles on. "I know this big, meaty jock. Lots of muscle, very healthy. He should still be close, I can-"

One membraned hand grabs his jaw.

"Do not try to wiggle out of this. I've marked you. If I call, you'll come. And I'll feed. Are we clear?"

Eddie swallows. "Crystal. Now let me get you that snack."

Jason disappears on that night.

It's the first of many times Eddie feeds the boy from the lake.

Do have any other tddk/bnha supernatural or fantasy stories (finished or not) that you'd recc? In honor of Halloween month!

HI ANONYMOUS!!!!!!!!! You bet your bottom dollar I do.

Halloween 2k17:

Tododeku/BNHA Supernatural/Fantasy Fic Recs

Ok so let’s start from the top:

1.Obviously @pitviperofdoom has gotta be mentioned. Now you might be familiar with this person’s fantastic versions of Hades and Persephone with Tododeku, Death’s Aegis and Petal Steps.

One of my absolute favourites by Pit, at least as far as supernatural or fantasy stories are concerned, is Where The Ocean Meets The Sky. It’s this gorgeous misty merpeople story in which Shouto is the kind of sailor who wears cable knit sweaters, and Izuku is half terrifying and half enchanting as a mer-person with sharp teeth and bright eyes. Also, couldn’t talk fantasy au’s without mentioning Riddles of the Heart because I adore it.

2. Look, I already mentioned the TOTALLY SPECTACULAR story In Death, At The End of the World by @theroyalsavage

But if you’ve already read that one, or if you want something slightly different, then I’d like to strongly recommend The Heart Inside. Premise is that witch!Shouto is travelling around to complete his studies when he finds himself pulled into work at a bakery by a big strong blonde guy we all know and love. I’ve used a gif from Kiki’s Delivery Service for this because honestly it was all I could think of the whole way through. Such warm soft Ghibli vibes, perfect for a rainy day. Also, What Is Right And What Is Easy is the goddamn stunning harry potter AU you never knew you needed. Just saying.

3. OH HEY SPEAKING OF GREAT AUs. Did you know that @yaboybokuto is also a writer??? Yep, that’s a thing. They’re xShieru on Ao3.

If you want fantasy stories, check out Your Heart Fits Like A Key. It’s a Van Helsing kind of AU where Midoriya and Bakugou are professional monster hunters. 10/10 will absolutely make you cry, but it’s so good and so worth it.

3. Ok, but maybe you want some humour. In which case friend let me point you in the direction of @periapse

Their story, Legend Has It, makes me laugh every time. It’s the perfect balance of really good humour with some high fantasy and real drama. Which is why I picked a gif from BBC’s Merlin. It’s that kind of vibe.

4. OHOHOHOHOH did you think I was finished??? How about a fantasy story that makes you feel like you just walked into Narnia? Check out oilpaints on AO3 or @floralwreaths (same brilliant person)

The Road Well Travelled is so, so well written. It features the Tododecks: gentle, hedge witch Todoroki, angry sort of mythologically powerful fairy Bakugou, and everyone’s favourite - Uraraka Ochako armed to the goddamn teeth. No but seriously, I absolutely adored reading this story and you should give it a moment of your time because it’s great.

5. How about an Avatar AU? That was a pretty great show right? No but really @midoizuku has mastered this one in Atlas Inherited. No shipping yet but the story itself and the world building is fantastic and it’s well worth a read

6. Then we’ve got What’s In A Name by ihatemilk/ @lechemaligna - did you ever think you wanted a Youkai AU with a Princess Mononoke kind of ghibli vibe that’s half fairytale and half ghost story? My dude do I have news for you. It exists, and it’s beautiful, and I’m so excited about where this story’s going

7. So I haven’t actually seen Your Name/Kimi No Na Wa, but A Path To Trace by Aquaticflames gives me the same vibes I get from this movie.

I guess it’s more sci-fi than fantasy, a soulmate au where everyone gets cellphones with their soulmate’s schedules. I really liked it, though heads up for references to some pretty serious child abuse!

8. Finally! We’ve got another Soulmate AU, this one is Writing of the Soul, a oneshot by PandaWizard.

Premise is that writing shows up on soulmates’ bodies, so they can pass notes to one another! Again, this story deals with child abuse, but personally I think it did so really well.

Thank you so much again for the ask!!!

If you read any of these stories, please leave kudos and comments! Fic writers are awesome, and they deserve a whole lot of love. Have a beautiful day and a spooky October!!
