What if Eclipse from AP was a naga? And this took place in the deep jungle of the amazon, where photographer y/n is trying to take pictures of the wildlife?
I'm vibrating at the speed of sound over this ask while also nudging my naga au
Naga Eclipse from AP would have the tail of a Green Anaconda, with an olive green scaly color dotted with black, framed by burning-like flares of orange along the length of his slithery body. He's also decorated with orange-yellow striping on either side of his long, slipper form. His upper half is scaley with a lithe deadliness to his musculature and decorated by frills surrounding his head with brighter orange-yellow colors, almost hypnotic in their gradient hues. One eye is deep emerald green, and one is midnight blue.
Lucky you—you're out on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to explore a jungle closed off to the public, funded by Fazco, and occupied by two researchers who will be your bunkmates for the next few weeks. You're itching to take photos of the large river, including swamps, marshes and streams, and whatever wildlife is out there.
The few locals you did meet before you left to hike the rest of the way to what would be your new, isolated home warned you of a dangerous snake—a large, mythical beast. You take note of the local folklore. You understand the truth is hidden in there somewhere, and you are well aware of the dangers and diseases you could be met with in such a harsh environment, but you're determined.
It doesn't take long for you to feel eyes watching you when you first venture out by yourself. You take beautiful pictures of freshwater fish, big and beautiful, unlike any you have ever seen. Of course, you have hundreds of snapshots of the local flora, the trees, the floating meadows, the thick vines that drape each branch and hang thickly about the ground. You almost forget that you eerily don't feel alone.
But you swear something moves in the water—the ripples stop as soon as you look. The stillness is suddenly stiff, lifeless. Even the birds have stopped chirping.
You lower your camera and carefully put it away. A trickle of fear slips into your heart. You turn away from the river's edge only to be met by a low hiss and a creature, unlike anything you witnessed in your travels, spooling itself neatly out of the water, blocking your path to the base. An incredible creature with long arms and a great, serpentine tail that seems to stretch for yards and yards. You can hardly breathe in his presence—he's otherworldly with his frills and scales and fangs.
His eyes contain a mesmerizing shine as if staring into a fire as it burns or watching the ocean as it laps up against the beach, drawing your attention, demanding you don't look away. You couldn't anyway. Half-frozen, you struggle to keep from collapsing. He beckons with a sharp talon. He hisses softly for you to come closer, mouse. He wants to see you. You try to beg no without revealing how terribly you tremble. He doesn't let you go. He insists. His eyes flash with an allure. You almost step close when he murmurs that you need to be good.
But then your sense of survival kicks adrenaline into your heart, and you turn to run—
He strikes faster than your eyes can follow. Two loops of his green and orange tail surrounded you in an instant. You're dragged to the ground, your arms pinned under his mass, and the back of your head cradled by his large palm as powerful muscles squeeze you in the slightest—a gentle rebuke for thinking you could get away. You're hyper-aware of the terrifying bulk of muscles as you lie trapped in his coils. One strong twist and your eyes could pop out of your skull, and every bone protecting your heart and lungs would crumble to shards. You gasp. An urge to kick your legs and struggle erupts in your panic; a sinking feeling tells you it would only make things worse.
He coos over you, hissing and humming in an ancient song of the jungle you have no name for. When you whimper, he shushes you and strokes your cheek. He tells you how lovely you'll be. When you talk back to him, somehow finding your tongue amid your horror, you find out his name. Eclipse. He moves you more upright, resting you on his tail so you're not petrified by how vulnerable you feel lying down, but he never loosens his scaly bindings. He hovers over you. You gaze into his stunning frills of yellow-orange and wonder how a being like him came to exist. He studies you as you study him. He grins at how you shiver when he traces your collarbone with a sharp fingertip.
You remind yourself that you can still breathe. He hasn't crushed you—yet—but you don't like how wide his smile is. Sometimes, his jaw stretches a little too long as if dislocating from his skull, ready to devour you. His eyes gleam with a ravenousness as scales twist around you, holding you close enough to smell the slick green water he had been in and deep musk.
He tells you that he'll see you again very soon—away from other humans, lest you bring him a fine gift for a meal. You can only flex your fingers, silently pleading in your heart that he won't unhook his jaw and eat you alive.
Then, he unravels himself from your limbs. But before he lets you go entirely, he leans in close, his serpentine tongue flickering close to your neck and by your hair, tasting the air around you as you muster all your strength to not scream. He inhales deeply, pleased, before he murmurs, "Sweet mouse. You are mine. Say it."
You don't understand, but you echo his command, and when he taps your chin once in what might have been a loving gesture, you force your jelly legs to solidify before you run and run, all the way back to base. You slam the door to your room behind you. You touch your ribs, your arms, still caught in the heavy sensation of his loops as if he were upon you right now.
The stories are true—there is a giant snake in this jungle, and he wants you. You're afraid to discover if Eclipse's intrigue with you is only an exotic way to satisfy his hunger.

hii ! I see that "The Sun eats the Moon" or "The Moon" have a great sucess and CONGRATSSSS ! Of course the writting was well writting, honestly I think there is no need a continuation (or maybe just an extract or whatever) because we already have the importance :) that's just my opinion...Oh and ! Gojo in this fic makes me remind the vibe of a fic (that I also like) in Ao3 "Alexa, Play 'Toxic' by 2WEI." or "Alexa, Play 'Pit Of Vipers' By Simon Curtis." by Lonely__Lovely (unfortunately they is no continuation for what happening after chp 2 part 2) oh and by the way if someone/you have a fic similar (any fandom or character) like this one I would like to have the name, please...
Oh and just remember that you write for your pleasure, if you aren't enjoying it would be a pain to write and you won't be satisfied. Don't force yourself because it's your writting and if you force the writting will probably disguse you (?) After all you started because you wanted and liked after all, right ?
By the way I have random and weird question about Naga AU... how she deals when she has to shit 🤨 like if she has diarrhea because of food how does she deals ? Like she tries to hide or avoid them ? Oh and about menstruation, like explain them that she won't die 🤨 ? And to take a shower (there is no shampooing I'm sure 💀🙏🏼) and drink water technically there is no filter because there is no humans besides her (maybe she knows how to filt)... Weird and wild questions but reals and importants
If in "The Moon"bMrs. Moon makes Gojo unpleasant or in his nerves, what will happen to her ? (like ignore him, avoid him, try to flirt with other, bite him, don't let him to touch her) oh and will she be force to go to great parties ? At least she has the liberty of her cloth, like will Gojo be ok if she wears a suit in the parties ? Or maybe to piss him she wears a beautiful and hot dress...
I have a thinking about a transmigrator in JJK 2006 where they play pokemon and the pokemon is a monkey and name it "Suguru" and he asks why he is a monkey and in their head they respond "Geto, it will be your favourite word don't worry" (it sounds funny in my head lmao)
To finish, write what you want to write and remember when you started it was forr you that wanted to share your writting.
I just notice that post is so random LMAO but its 3:17 am so I may be tired ehe
Write what you want to write :)
Tumblr media
the amount of adhd injected into this ask is astounding

Omg omg omg hi! I'm in love with your writing! Your naga au is so detailed, I'm sorry if you already answered it, but how do you have all of that knowledge? It's amazing! Also I have another question, if it's okay? Reader feels Sun's warmth but also cold fingers, is he cold-blooded or warm-blooded then? What about Moon, since they're brothers?
Thank you for your amazing fics! I can't wait to read more! Have a great day!
Tumblr media
Waaaaah! Thank you so much! This is so nice! 😭 I'm so glad you are enjoying my naga au.
To answer your questions, I'm assuming by knowledgeable you mean how I have information on plants and their scientific names, right? Truth be told, that's all google. Thirty minutes to an hour worth of google, but I don't have that knowledge in my head normally. XD
As for the boys' temperature, they are technically cold-blooded, but hold heat better than normal snakes. They still can't regulate it well, though. When Reader feels warmth on Sun, it's from him being out in the sun or being under blankets. His normal temperature is colder than Reader's.
Moon is the same and actually has more trouble staying warm because he's smaller than Sun (both length-wise and width). Fun fact: Sun and Moon have their own separate blanket piles that they sleep in, but Sun often pushes his into Moon's during cold nights so they can cuddle. :3c

fanfic asks !! 2, 4, 7, 17
2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)
I need to read the last chapter of spacelabrathor’s Dothraki!Thor series. It’s such a great story but I haven’t gotten the chance to read through it yet, so it’s still on my list. 
4. What fandom’s/ship’s fan fiction do you read the most?
I read a lot of Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan character fics. Lots of Stucky. And also lots of other Marvel characters. But I tend to prefer xreader (and occasionally xOC) fics generally.
7. What’s the last thing you read that made you cry?
Jesus, I’m not sure I even know (actually, I do, but it wasn’t fiction). Though it was probably slothspaghettiwrites’ Sun and Moon (either Solar Flare or Aurora). That series is ripping my heart to shreds and I love it. 
17. Describe a fic that is still in the ‘ideas’ stage.
So many, nonnie. So. Many. My ‘idea’ stage mostly exists in one single brainstorm document that I add all my ideas/daydreams to. 
And one of the ones I’ve been trying (and failing) to move to the next stage (aka actual writing) is my Stucky Monster AU Sequel. I’ve settled on a 5+1 format because I have never done one before and it seemed like fun (but I can’t seem to figure out what I wanna do for the +1 😩). And the story will revolve around minotaur Steve, Naga Bucky, and their girl maneuvering through their intimate encounters together. 
Thanks for sending in these questions, nonnie! This was lots of fun!
send me a number from these fanfic asks

Oooooo- I just saw your post of the reversal AU with the demon slayers and demon moons and now I’m wondering if you could do one for Rengoku and Iguro?
Ask and ye shall receive anon
ANYWAY YEET LETS DO SOME FOR SPICYBOI AND SNEKSON (i'm so sorry Obanai's is kinda short i know nothing abt him omf) [some spoilers ahead yeethaw]
Tumblr media
Kyojuro Rengoku - Upper Moon 5
A demon with an affinity for fire is a rare one-- fire is kin to the accursed majesty of the sun and no one wanted to incur Muzan's ire. And yet, amongst his numbered favored is a demon who wears the element like a crown.
For a demon, Kyojuro shines the light of a demigod. He is all tawny skin and handsome human features, his hair replaced with scarlet-and-gold eagle's feathers, also scattered over the rest of his body. His hands and feet end in cruel raptor's talons however, and his eyes are uncanny in their avian focus. There is a constant mantle of flame on Kyojuro, always the scent of ash and burnt fat.
He is proud and reckless and utterly obsessive. He wants nothing more than to use his power to protect those comrades weaker than him; it is the only reason he remains as Upper Moon 5 despite every opportunity given for him to usurp higher positions-- he believes that he remains the gateway that protects those Moons of lower stature.
Kyojuro holds humanity in a pitying light, the same way you could hold pity for cows and pigs. They are intelligent livestock to be cared for and protected until the time has come for the demons to fulfill their purpose and the humans theirs. Kyojuro finds humans a passing, endearing amusement that he has no problem killing.
To harm a Moon of lower position is to draw Kyojuro's wrath. Beware of his Blood Demon Art-- when he turns the battlefield into a sea of flame, when he commands the spirit of fire itself and the inferno twists itself into the shape of beasts. An Infernal Deluge, he would call it. One of his finest techniques.
The fires that Kyojuro creates will only ever be of a darker shade though, and is unable to produce brighter colors than red and dark orange. It doesn't matter to either him or his master; so long as Kyojuro uses those abilities to kill and devour humans, then there would be no bloodshed between Muzan and Kyojuro.
As a human, Kyojuro had been born as the eldest son to a family of renowned Demon Slayers. Originally trained to become the next Flame Pillar of the Corps, Kyojuro took to training well despite his ailing mother's declining health and his father's increasing alcoholism, which only worsened with his mother's death.
The night Kyojuro abandoned his sword was the night he lost nearly everything. After being named Flame Pillar, Kyojuro came home to his younger brother Senjuro and his father Shinjuro missing. Frantic and desperate to find his father and brother, worrying about a demon attack, he instead found his father standing over Senjuro's lifeless body with bottle in hand. In a drunken rage without Kyojuro to calm him, Shinjuro had struck Senjuro in the head.
As a former Pillar, Shinjuro still retained his strength. A small boy could have never survived such a blow. When Kyojuro came home, he was greeted by a shocked, listless father. His lifeless little brother. Kyojuro was young then-- no one so young could be expected to hold back such a potent mix of horrible emotions. When Kyojuro came to himself, he had a sword in hand, aflame not only with the sun-kissed color of his nichirin but the blood of his father.
The demon lord was one of the first to hear tidings of this tragedy, whispered to him by underlings who smelled the blood of Pillars being spilled. That is how Muzan found him, standing over the bodies of both father and brother, repeating only one thing: "I was born strong to protect the weak..." Muzan had always wanted a demon made from a Slayer, anyhow. Especially one who so shone like a dying sun...
The human Kyojuro will never toss away his sword. It is what he had earned through the trials, the one that saved his life many times. An extension of self and honor. The demon Kyojuro had consumed it, bathed it in flame until the metal ran in silver streams, never to protect again.
He retains no memory of his human life save for his mother's parting words. He serves Muzan out of an almost-parental devotion, believing it his duty even in demonhood to stand by what little he remembered back when he had been mortal and weak. It was Muzan who had given him great power-- power that he used to watch over his comrades.
When Muzan tells him to find the Infinity Train, Kyojuro listens. When Muzan tells him that there was a Slayer there whose brutality knew no bounds, who slaughtered a Lower Moon, Kyojuro's wings come alive with flame. He arrives then, so close to dawn, an avenging eagle cloaked in his mantle of fire. The Pillar present is a little more than a whelp with stripes inked all over his rough face. He will be a great pleasure to burn.
Tumblr media
Obanai Iguro - Upper Moon 9
There are those who mock the demon who holds the rung of Upper Moon 9. Why hold such a position with pride at all, if you will be the weakest of Muzan's special chosen? It makes more than one Slayer underestimate Obanai when they encounter him, fragile-looking and pale, almost like some killable garden snake.
Underestimation is a mistake. These fools end up in the belly of the beast sooner or later, churned up alive in a snake's slow, slow digestion. Obanai himself is a lethargic demon, never truly moving from his underground lair unless he is summoned by his lord and master or unless the Upper Moon who holds love dear does so.
If he had been a loner and cruel and suspicious as a human, Obanai is even moreso now. He is fast still, but prefers the coolness of his lairs, prefers it when Slayers think him weak and come to him-- only to be swallowed without mercy or discretion. He keeps them alive sometimes, tucked beneath muscled coils. They do not always survive; Obanai eats them all the same.
Usually it is his upper body that is seen, a slim thing that a human Obanai would also possess. He has a wrapping around his mouth, his odd eyes, his black hair. Instead of skin it is scales that cover him, pale as the moon and sharp as stone. Then he rises, rises, rises-- and the rest of him is ten, fifteen feet long, a gargantuan serpent's body. Sinewy, lithe, powerful. Distantly, you can hear a rattle.
His eyes are sharp like a cat's, cold and reptilian. His number is written the same way, in peaked lines resembling the slits scything across his pupils. They glow from the gloom of his lairs almost curiously. A final warning.
His fangs hold venom that isn't like the devilish creations of the butterfly Upper Moon, but is a simple paralytic agent that renders prey frozen and fully conscious of what is about to happen for the next six hours. Obanai has no problem with constriction, but if he is fast enough to pierce many with his fangs...
His Blood Demon Art is a wonder of nature. Brood of Naga he calls it, sardonically, but willingly calls upon his blood to bring out hundreds of snakes-- all white, all loyal to Obanai, all venomous. All very much willing to bite or trap. Its true power lies in Obanai's ability to merge these creatures together, another beast in his likeness, one or more to fight.
Of all the Upper Moons in Muzan'a collection, Obanai has the most nebulous of origins. Nobody truly knows where he had come from. But he had come to Muzan, bitter and alone, or had Muzan come to him? He was a boy who covered his lower face. Was he deformed? Ugly? Had he some secret reason for his mask? Is that why he became a demon?
Was it because he was weak, perhaps? A small, thin body that Slayers would laugh at-- why hold a sword at all if you have no muscle on you? But Obanai was quick and clever, even before then.
Did he already love a certain demon already? Did he love her so much that he was willing to let a demon lord twist his shape into something monstrous just so he could share her blood? They say if you say Mitsuri Kanroji's name in front of Obanai he will go absolutely berserk.
Perhaps it was love. Perhaps it wasn't. Maybe it was all of them? Power and blood and beauty to win Love's heart. Obanai is a quiet demon who will never tell the other Upper Moons anything. And he never will, not unless it is she who asks.

Not necessarily an AU ask, but do you have any headcanons for Grimleal religious practices? Do they have daily prayers, attend regular sermons, etc?
Gods I have so many Grimleal headcanons okay it gets crazy up in here when we start in on Plegia’s religion
I personally tend to think that Plegians perform daily religious observances, which take place either before dawn or after sundown.  Grima was not truly a dark dragon, but their eyes were exceptionally photosensitive, so they didn’t really care for the sun; most of their activity, especially where interactions with mankind were concerned, took place at night, so most of the Grimleal services continue to reflect this. 
The moon phases also play into this quite heavily – Plegia even operates on a lunar calendar because of this.  The first new moon after the longest night of the year (aka Grima’s Night) is considered the start of their new year, and each new moon thereafter marks the start of a new month.
Eclipses are also considered to be incredibly fortuitous, in particular total solar eclipses, and when one approaches pretty much the whole nation shuts down to witness the event. 
Daily observances are often performed at home, and generally involve prayers offered in the direction of the setting sun and simple actions (drawing Grima’s Mark – touching the thumb and one finger to the forehead, eyelids, and heart before clasping both hands with fingers laced).  At the new and full moons, there are also temple ceremonies, which are much more involved and often include recitation from Grima’s Truth.  
Grimleal are by no means required to attend temple ceremonies, of course: while many do, it’s not uncommon for families to hold dedicated observances at home, reading from the religious texts on their own.  This makes it significantly easier for people with young children or ailing family members to take part, and oftentimes a temple priest will come to visit those unable to attend either shortly before or after the service to confer blessings upon them. 
Along with the daily observances and bi-monthly sermons, there are several key observances that the Grimleal keep: Grima’s Night, the new year, and the Day of Remembrance. 
Grima’s Night is the biggest festival day in Plegia.  Taking place on the longest night of the year, when Grima’s powers are at their peak, Grima’s Night is a celebration of those who have already left the world and joined Grima’s embrace.  The day is spent in preparation, hanging decorations, cooking, and setting places for those both living and departed (with mementos of the dead marking their places); at sundown, there is an ceremony invoking Grima to send the spirits back to their friends and families, and then the rest of the night is spend feasting and talking and laughing and sharing the events of the year gone by before the spirits must depart with the sunrise. 
New Year’s takes place on the first new moon after Grima’s Night (so should Grima’s Night itself fall on a new moon – which is quite the auspicious sign – the new year would begin the following month).  Much like Grima’s Night, planning and preparation takes place throughout the day leading up to nightfall; however, the preparation is as much individual as it is communal, with each person reflecting on the year past, things done well and mistakes made, and endeavoring to right wrongs, mend bridges, and otherwise start off the new year with no lingering ills or bad blood remaining from the one prior.  It’s also said that the best time to offer your heart to someone (propose marriage, or at least announce your feelings) is on the new year, because if they’re turned away you have the new year to mend; and if they’re accepted, you have the new year to grow closer to the one you love. 
The Day of Remembrance is a somber day, by comparison to the others.  Taking place on the longest day of the year, it commemorates not just Grima’s Fall at the hands of Naga and the First Exalt, but of all those lost in the conflicts that followed.  Everyone wears white in mourning (the color death and mourning, of bleached bone under the sun) and fasts through the day as they’re able; just before sunset, there is a religious service to honor and remember those lost…and with the setting of the sun, the ceremony reminds everyone that though Grima fell, their protector was not destroyed, but simply became part of the earth, One with the Shadow of the World, and continues to watch over and guide them. 
Grimleal temples are generally round, enclosed spaces with skylights.  Grima’s radial body symmetry played at least a minor part in the early design, but now such radial planning is common throughout Plegia, with many of their cities having streets that lead toward a central temple (which is as much a place of worship as it is a defensible location for citizens to take shelter at). 
The skylight is also a throwback to the time before the fall.  Because the fell dragon was so huge, landing was almost impossible, so it was difficult for them to convene with humanity; however, the Dragon’s Table – far and away the tallest structure in Plegia – had a central skylight at the top, and humans would go there to convene with Grima, who would fly around the tower and speak with them.  While the spire was initially meant as the resting place of the Earth Dragons, Grima’s followers gradually modified the rotunda at the top, adding the colored stones and other artistic touches.  After Grima’s fall they added the altar to serve as a memory of their divine. 
While not required, a great number of temples built after Grima’s fall are actually built underground, with only a small dome visible from the surface.  Grima’s fall left the dragon’s bones scattered throughout the nation, and many ended up being buried in the sand; many in Plegia believe that their divine is part of the earth now, and such subterranean construction makes them feel closer to Grima. 
Grimleal traditionally bury their dead, for much the same reason that they build temples belowground as much as possible.  After death, a body is wrapped in a shroud bearing the Mark of Grima before they’re buried in special graveyards filled with plants, be they trees or flowers.
These grave sites are special, not just for their greenery, but also for the fact that a small piece of Grima’s body is buried at the heart of each one.  Even communities far from Grima’s bones have this memento at the hearts of their cemeteries, for it is believed that Grima still has a connection to their scattered remains, and by burying the dead close to Grima’s own they can be safely taken into the fell dragon’s embrace. 
The bones of the dead are considered sacred, as well, because those remains are the anchor that spirits may use to return to the world on Grima’s night.  For this reason, cremation is considered sacrilegious, because it destroys the bones and untethers the spirit from the world, preventing their return. 
Animal bone is handled and treated differently, but with equal care: the Grimleal endeavor to use every part of the animals they hunt and keep, which includes using their bones for tools and armor.
Blood is a key part of the most important Grimleal rituals; however, only a small amount is ever required (usually no more than a pinprick, at most a shallow cut).  For religious ceremonies, obsidian blades are used for the ritual drawing of blood; while the priests carry finely wrought obsidian daggers, most devout Grimleal carry small shards for use in private observances. 
Black, violet, and gold all have key religious significance, and are widespread throughout the nation; red is widely valued, but tends to carry fewer religious connotations (though it is still used for ceremonial purposes).  
and holy heck this got out of hand whoops

Bkdk fic recs? Not any particular genre/setting; just stories that you fell in love with.
Ohoo!! *___* Yes, do I have a handful of them! Time to go through mypersonal notes and share what I’ve saved!
First up are some of my fav prolificauthors (and their well-known, must-read fics), whose attention to detail, emotionaldepth, and characterizations I trust and therefore I would read anything they write of the pair:
 @atomicblonde/lalazee (Blood Moon), for writingsome of the most riveting emotional roller coasters, whose power with words anddialogue can both raze mountains and completely swoon you asunder with theirintensity. All her fics are worth reading (and there are plenty!) But I thinkthe one that particularly touched me most was Ugly Beautiful. :’)
@driftingglass (Before Midnight), forwriting some of the most immersive stories coiled with gripping and buildingtension, both plot wise and relationship wise. Also has one of the mostdescriptive and intense voices. And for writing a Deku with thedetermined/defiant agency he deserves.    
@soulestring/soulstring(Falling, I feel you), for some ofthe most emotionally raw & vulnerable scenes of feelings realization I’veseen. Through all the extensive denial, fear, reluctance, and passion towardslove. Chronic emotional constipation at its crippling worst and most beautifullyrewarding. Oho, I’ve reread these many times for just how strongly they stuckwith me. (Also features Kiri as a valuable mvp, oh thank goodness
@osakakitty (Make Every Moment Last,Like the Moon), mmm,for a finesse with sweeping/honest tenderness with enough resonance to make oneweep. I know many readers who have fallen victim to it. Not from sadness, butfrom just how thoroughly touching and profound her stories are. :’) What ablessing, indeed.  
@kanaevr/Kanae_vR(The Space Between), forwriting with an awareness and careful handling of both the characters and plotthat I could best describe as sincere.The detailed realism and slice of life aspects are both relatable and fun, which contribute towards a whole,well-rounded package that is thoroughly engaging to read.  
Next, aside from the many works available from the authors above, are some fav individual fics that I’mparticularly fond of:
In the Eye of the Storm by @cheshirebutton,THE iconic naga au. If there’s one fic in the fandom I’d consider my fav, I think it’d be this one. Which I’ve read 5+ times, and would definitely reread again. 8D Ilove it that much. Everything is handled with so much impressive quality and care;almost anything introduced has a purpose that will become relevant again later(which is why rereading is so fun). From the impeccable world building to thecharacterizations, the absolute stakes and peril involved that drives them towardsbelievable, life-altering decisions (the weightthey must consider between duty and personal feelings)…from the wedges thatkept them stubbornly apart, towards a curious magnetism and blooming/meaningfulsolidarity that brings them closer together even stronger. :’)) This is classicenemies to reluctant allies to lovers done beautifully, and has me convinced oftheir mutual feelings 1000%. Omg, they feel somuch. ;A; Whenever there’s a ch update I have to immediately dropeverything because it’s just thatgood, ahhh.
Hunting the Past by Justaperson1718, theassassin and blackmailed!bodyguard au! 8D Which happens to be my fav actionfic. It’s so smart and fast-paced, from all the convoluted planning and tensesteps involved to set things right, damn! We have these expertly specializedpros, extremely capable in their respective fields…but who are also fumblingdorks unaccustomed to sorting out their feelings and properly communicating(esp after all the conditioning/exp they’ve been through). It’s so fun to watch them executemissions and then transition to the domestic (yet still very muchliving on edge) down time with them learning to bond while taking care ofKouta. Unexpected surrogate action parents due to dire circumstances, aha!  
The Mummy by Spectra, my favadventure fic. A retelling of the classic movie, but done so well and with style. Probably some of the most genuine fun I’vehad reading fics in this fandom, ahaha what a riot. XD From the crazyshenanigans they get caught up in to the wholesome heh copious amount ofbonding from their time together. Truly, all scenes are extremely well paced andallotted for the type of ‘meat’ readers are in for. Kacchan is so comically (andseriously) overprotective of Deku, omg I love it. (Considering the endlesstypes of human & undead enemies after them, ahh!) Bonus, Kiri is such a goodaccompanying bro, what a delight.
Some Read It For The Articlesby low_commotion,for some of the nerdiest awkward dork bonding, from their shared seriousinterest in hero mags, to their more hands-on practical applications in the gymtogether (ayyy!! ;D)…all while everyone else in the class assumes it’s over‘something else’ and blows it out of proportion (oho~ but things ARE slowlyhappening!) It’s such a hilarious and witty slow burn scenario where they helpeach other improve, but I think what really shines are the faithfulcharacterizations. Deku has such a distinct rambling headspace, and while thepov is limited, the respectable merits inherent to Kacchan’s character stillshine…like ahh, that’s it; that’s why he’s a fav. A very fun and unique ficindeed!  
Just Like The Comics by brichibi,oh man!! The angst and feels truly got me in this ‘what-if’ scenario where Dekunever earned ofa, never went to U.A., and slowly became so jaded/bitter athaving to settle for something other than his dream, his growing envywitnessing Kacchan achieve his burned too much to bear. It’s such a fascinating and segmented Deku characterstudy where he has to discover what he really wants in life, with plenty ofmeta jabs at canon that had me going whoa!!! :O Plus Kacchan is as patient andaccommodating to Deku’s pace as he can be. :’) (Which…became another point ofcontention for Deku, to not hold him back from becoming the best…yet I love the counter, ‘I don’thave everything; I don’t have you.’ fuufjgkgh!!! ;A;)
And now even MORE fics that I like/enjoy, which have caught my attention, orthat I’m currently eagerly waiting for more updates:
warm hands and shipwreck on the red sea byflowercafeAHHHHH!!! Warm hands features my most fav headcanon: heated quirk musclemassages. (Omg it’s so tender/intimate; I’m so weak ;A;) While shipwreck featuresshark mer!Kacchan! 8D I love the realistic attention to detail/descriptions andpenchant for marine biology, ohh it has such an immersive Life of Pi feel. (Pluswelcome room for spice, oho.) Actually, all this author’s works are great withtheir extremely strong starts, definitely keeping watch!
under a hollow sun by umbrage, probablymy personal choice for the classic fantasy au most faithfully adapted (YESSfinally one that matches what I’d been searching for 8’D with a fun supportiveKiri too! *grovels at author’s feet*) Many classmates are incorporated in a fun way too! (Authoralso wrote another fic featuring funny accidental quirk misfire during certain…activitiesand dang, I wish more authors would make use of that too, ahaha! XD)  
springtime of youth by claimedbydaryl,I’m extremely fond of the last chapter, for how realistic and awkwardly naturalthe approach is, definitely left a lasting impression.  
Incandescent Snow by Chicory, acarefully crafted au and scenario that is gorgeous and tentative, with well-madeoc’s who contribute their unique pov’s of the boys’ growing relationship.  
Collision by stardustacademia(cosmiclarents), one of the most thorough and in-depth looks into Kacchan’spsyche and angst I’ve seen, but it’s unfortunately been deleted. :’(( Noting itanyway for remembrance’s sake.
Ambivalent by bakuboi ohdang this was such a unique approach to Kacchan’s pov and source of his anger I’veseen, and impressive writing insight for being anime-only too.
A Haze of Crystal by semiautomatichearts,ooh I really enjoyed the emotional depth in this one; the author has anotherhanahaki story I’m keeping an eye on as well.
how he should’ve known (andhow it turned out) by vannral, theirapproach to the classic fake dating trope caught my attention, but all theirworks are fun and worth checking out too! :D Def keeping an eye on their stuff.
The Devil Blues by iknewamantheir police detective au is so fun and well done; oho those sparks fly! They’vewritten more stuff with unique/interesting approaches I’ve enjoyed too.
Map of Scars by Celestialgunfireopera,ohh :’)) a very touching and vulnerable moment, through particular intimacy andacknowledgment of past actions previously left unsaid. That type of meaningful tendernessand skinship really hits the spot.  
By Design by EtherealBeing(also author of Bluebird), this one is such a unique idea/premise I have not seenbefore! :O Extremely fascinated to see where it’s going.
Izuku’s Home for Wayward Petsby glamour_weeb,wolfdog-hybrid rescue and rehab au, omg it’s so charming and wholesome. :’3  
Shadows and Gold by Sonday, thedesert prince/servant au, whoa!!  
Fireflies for the Moon byBestTankTopist (Keyade), the historical samurai au! Definitely got my eyes onit for more.  
Lunch on Tuesdays by @rironomind,and of course, I have to rec my buddy for her casual, slice of life take ofthese disaster dumbasses that is both fun and surprisingly bold (for tackling that topic in a way no one else has)with authentic Japanese flair (only rom could think of the meaningful gesture ofDeku sitting in seiza, like wow why have I not seen anyone else incorporatesuch behavior before, dang). Thanks so much, rom.
And there we go! Hopefully that’s a big enough handful of fics toappreciate, as I’ve read plenty more where these came from. :’D There are somany talented writers and amazing fics in the fandom worth all the support!
