He’s not alive, because he’s dead."

New fic alert!!! 🚨🚨🚨 archiveofourown.org/works/72147226 [ #mha #bnha #bkdkbk #fanfiction ]
A screenshot of a fic on Ao3 titled To Get Back Home by ScuffMarksOnMyShoes 
Fandoms: My Hero Academia, Sword Art Online  
Rating:Teen And Up Audiences

Tags:
No Archive Warnings Apply, Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku, Aizawa Shouta | Eraserhead & Midoriya Izuku, Midoriya Izuku & Shinsou Hitoshi, Bakugou Katsuki & Midoriya Izuku & Shimano Katsuma & Shimano Mahoro, Quirkless Midoriya Izuku, Pro Hero Bakugou Katsuki, Pro Hero Shinsou Hitoshi, Quirkless Discrimination (My Hero Academia), Canon-Typical Violence, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Minor Character Death, Hurt/Comfort, Happy Ending, No Characters From SAO, Midoriya Izuku-centric, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, DO NOT CROSS-POST, POV Third Person

Summary:
“The heroes will not save you.”

Himura’s voice silences the shouting of the crowd in one fell swoop. More news articles and broadcasts appear in the sky, hovering over the players for all to see. Izuku reads fast. HPSC Bars Heroes From Interfering in Online Game Incident, one says. Below Heroes Paygrade? Death Game Gone Wild, reads another. And finally, Heroes Enraged as HPSC Bans Them From Joining SAO.

The words ring in Izuku's head, nauseating and terrifying. He thinks he's gonna be sick.

Izuku's a Quirkless Uni student looking for an escape from his real world problems. He didn't think video games would be too life threatening a hobby, but when he joins Sword Art Online he's met with a world he can't log out of and real life consequences should his HP drop to zero. Unfortunate circumstances force him to learn to play alone, but he soon meets another player who has his own reasons for flying solo. But hey, maybe the two of them can play solo together.

OR, the one where Izuku's stuck in SAO, meets Kacchan, and the two of them (along with a few others) work to clear the game and get everyone home before they all die, one way or another.

Summary: "Vampire? What’s that? Izuku’s never heard of it. A creature of the night that burns in the sun and feasts on the blood of living people? Sounds made up to him. Not anything like what he’s going through...

Okay, he’s a vampire.

But it’s not exactly by choice. He blames the bloodsucker who thought he’d make an easy meal. He hadn’t accounted for Izuku biting back.

What can he say? He’s a Quirkless kid who got bullied; he knows how to fight back, and he fights dirty."

OR, the one where Izuku got turned into a vampire and still goes through the events of MHA. He comes out the other side thoroughly traumatized and still hungry for blood

The sword in his shoulder digs in deeper before being ripped out all together. Tenya bites back a scream, biting his tongue and tasting metal as agony races through him. Blood drips from the blade, small droplets hitting gently against his neck, his cheek. It’s still warm.
The Hero Killer brings the sword up and Tenya can’t see what he’s doing, not from this angle. He trembles in fear, pain, and anger.
“And that’s why you’ll die tonight.”
OR, what if Izuku Midoriya had died before going to UA and he was never there to save Iida from the Hero Killer

Just some snippets from a chapter of Still Here I haven't posted yet 'cause it's been a bit since I've posted a chapter [ #bnha #mha #bkdk #fanfiction ]
A snippet of an unreleased chapter of my fic "they mourn but I'm still here (I'm still here on Ao3

It reads:
At some point Kacchan ends up mentioning it to his dad, asking him why all the electronics in the house are so messed up lately. His dad just frowns and tells him he has no idea what he’s talking about.

“You know,” Kacchan says, his expression irritated. “The speakers in the gym turning off. The lights flickering. The TV changing to fucking Spanish out of nowhere.” Izuku blinks. Oh, he forgot he did that one.

Kacchan’s dad looks confused. “Kat, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Kacchan’s expression hardens, his arms crossing over his chest. “If you and the hag are fucking with me, I’ll find out.”

Mr. Bakugo’s eyebrows rise above the rim of his glasses. “Kid, trust me, your mom and I aren’t messing with you.” Then his lips tick up into a small smile, his hand rising to tap on his chin. “Though that does give me a few ideas for–”

Kacchan just scoffs and stomps away, shutting himself in his room.A snippet of an unreleased chapter of my fic "they mourn but I'm still here (I'm still here) on Ao3

It reads:

Izuku pokes him again.

Kacchan turns around fully, eyes shooting daggers. “What the hell do you want?” he grits through his teeth.

Kaminari’s eyes widen, hands raising in surrender as he ducks away from Kacchan’s ire. “Nothing, dude. I didn’t do anything.”

“You keep poking me,” Kacchan seethes.

“No, I don’t.” Kacchan’s eyes are intense as he stares Kaminari down. “I swear, dude, I’m not poking you.”

Kacchan’s expression twitches. “Whatever,” he scoffs under his breath, turning around and stomping away towards a spot in the field they’re in where no one else is standing. Izuku follows and he waits.

And then he pokes him in the back again.

Kacchan’s hands spark as he whips around, and Izuku gets a good look at his face when he realizes there’s no one there. The anger twisting his expression quickly morphs into confusion as he freezes, eyes wide on the spot he thinks is empty. It’s not empty, Izuku stands there, and he meets Kacchan’s gaze without blinking. For a moment, for a split second, it’s almost like Kacchan’s looking at him, like he can actually see him, and Izuku’s heart stutters in his chest. But then Kacchan’s eyes dart to a group of his classmates joining them on the field, eyes tracking Hagakure in confusion, and the moment is over.

Summary: “You’re about as far away from a hero as I can imagine.”
The sword in his shoulder digs in deeper before being ripped out all together. Iida bites back a scream, biting his tongue and tasting metal as agony races through him. Blood drips from the blade, small droplets hitting gently against his neck, his cheek. It’s still warm.
The Hero Killer brings the sword up and Iida can’t see what he’s doing, not from this angle. He trembles in fear, pain, and anger.
“And that’s why you’ll die tonight.”

"Think of it as a scar" #mha #bnha #fanart #bakugo #kacchan
A paper and pen drawing of Katsuki "Kacchan" Bakugo laying down. There is a light source out of frame and to the left, casting dramatic shadows on half his face. His head is on a pillow and in his hand he holds his gold medal from the UA sports festival. The medal is embossed with a laurel wreath, a crown, and the UA logo. Kacchan's expression is neutral as he looks at it, almost tired, but he holds the medal gently

Giving my fav characters my ailments and drawing them as the pictures I send my friends whenever I have nosebleeds #mha #bkdk #fanart
A pencil and pen drawing of a selfie of Katsuki Bakugo sitting on the floor of a bathroom. He sits in front of a mirror and sink, you can see the shower curtain to the side and a circle light on the ceiling. He's holding a crumpled tissue to his nose. The only color on the page is the red of the blood on the tissue and of his eyes. Bakugo looks bored or annoyed, his brows slightly furrowed.

There's a line of text above Bakugo's head. It reads:
"atp I think I should just kms"Three pencil and pen drawing. The top drawing is of a selfie of Izuku Midoriya from mid chest upwards. He's on a bathroom, you can see a shower head in the background to the left and a closed door behind him. Izuku is leaning forward towards the camera. He's holding a tissue to his nose, slightly covered in blood. He's smiling, but his eyes are a bit crazed, his eye twitching closed slightly.

The middle drawing has the same background as the top, but Izuku is replaced by Bakugo. His elbows are leaned on a counter out of sight. He's standing more upright than Izuku was. His eyes are wide, his teeth are bared, and his eyebrows are pulled together. He looks irritated. He also holds a tissue to his nose, it has a spot of blood and so does the palm of the hand holding it.

The bottom drawing is also of Bakugo with the same background. His head is down on the counter the camera is on. All you can see of him is his shoulder and the back of his head covering the bottom of the frame. His hand cradles the back of his head, stands of hair between his fingers. He seems tired and annoyed.

The only color in all of these is the red of the blood and Bakugo's eyesTwo pencil and pen drawings. The top one is a selfie of Izuku Midoriya from an above angle. He's looking up at the camera, holding a tissue to his nose that has a spot of blood. He's smiling behind the tissue, his eyes slightly squinted. There's also a spot of blood on the collar of his shirt. He stands in a bathroom and in the background is an above angle of a sink. In the sink is a pile of already used tissues covered in blood.

The bottom drawing is a small doodle of Izuku and Bakugo. Izuku is the figure on the left. You're looking at him from behind and he holds his hands out towards Bakugo. Bakugo is the figure on the right and you see him from the front. His nose is bleeding and he holds a hand under his chin to keep it from dripping everywhere. He seems a little surprised but not overly. There's a bit of dialogue. Izuku says, "Kacchan, your nose is bleeding!" Kacchan replies, "I know, it's fine, nerd." Izuku says, "Let me help you!" Kacchan responds, "Fuck off."The full page of all the previous drawings. The first picture is the top left, the second is the right three, and the third is the bottom two on the left.

There's a blue sticky note on the bottom right. It reads:
"Their periods synced up lol. it looks like they're face timing"

Still Here reached over 100k words in my doc. It's the longest fic I've ever written so I'm gonna give you guys a lil' treat to celebrate Here's some snippets from chap 17 and 19 ;)
A screenshot of a portion of text from chapter 17 of my fanfic "they mourn but I'm still here (I'm still here)" on Ao3

It reads:
“Let’s get this over with,” he says as he walks into the room, and Izuku has to shift to the side to avoid Kacchan phasing through him when he goes to sit down.

It seems like the shower might’ve washed the tension from earlier away, because Kacchan relaxes back into the sofas cushions, crossing his arms over his chest.

Mr. Bakugo shifts forward on the couch, resting his elbows on his knees and threading his hands together in front of him. Izuku watches the way one of his thumb pads runs gently over the front of the other thumbs nail, like he finds the motion soothing. His expression is open when he looks at Kacchan, his features soft. “Do you know what we want to talk to you about?” He asks. It’s not accusing, but it leaves room for Kacchan to confess to something if need be.

Izuku wishes he had any idea what they’re talking about.

Kacchan just raises on eyebrow, and Izuku thinks his expression would almost be amused if he didn’t seem so annoyed that this was even happening in the first place. “You watched the sports festival.” His response is accusing. It’s almost toneless, too, a fact, because of course they watched it. Everyone and their mother watches the UA sports festival.

That’s when Izuku starts to catch on to what this conversation is about. A screenshot of a portion of text from chapter 19 of my fanfic "they mourn but I'm still here (I'm still here)" on Ao3

It reads:
He stares at the door for a moment, sitting in the silence the empty hall brings. He could go in, he could follow Kacchan inside. Instead, Izuku hesitates. 

That—everything in Best Jeanist’s office—that was a lot, and he thinks Kacchan might need a moment.

There’s a dull thud and a hoarse swear beyond the barrier separating them. Izuku’s heart beats heavy in his chest. He raises his hand and clutches at the fabric of his shirt. He should wait, give Kacchan his privacy. 

Something twists beneath Izuku’s ribs and between his lungs.

He steps through the door anyway.

Can someone pretty please make an edit of Dabi to New Line by Sophie Hunter because I think the lyrics fit and it would be beautiful 🙏 Exhibit A:
Lyrics from the first verse and chorus of New Line by Sophie Hunter. It reads:
"I have a place just for people like you
I wrote a name and fold it in two
I light the stove and hold it to the blue
Watch it burn up into nothing

[Chorus 1]
So it's heavy on the fuck you forever
I don't give a shit, no, I'm not tryna be clever
It's not entendre, it's not even an endeavor to end you"

The lines "hold it to the blue and watch it burn up into nothing" and "it's not even an endeavor to end you" are highlighted in blue

#bnha #mhaLyrics from the first verse and chorus of New Line by Sophie Hunter. It reads:
"ASMR with S-O-PHIE
Humble any bitch I K-O in three
Never signed a deed but I got properties 
The way I love in bitches head, no vacancy
Your fragrance stinks!
That's the smell of your brain tryna think
You're not a DINK you are a dud
I give you none I give you [puh!]
You hit the skids, I am the shit
You are a stain, hit the refrain!

[Chorus 2]
So it's heavy on the fuck you forever
I don't give a shit, no, I'm not tryna be clever
It's not entendre, it's not even an endeavor to end you"

The lines "you are a stain" and "it's not even an endeavor to end you" are highlighted in blue. "S-O-PHIE" is also highlighted and next to it is written "D-A-BI"

The Secret To Life by FIZZ is also a Kacchan song, but an earlier Kacchan who hasn't gone through his character development yet
A screenshot of the lyrics from The Secret To Life by FIZZ. It reads:
"It's textbook repressive behavior 
Bow down to me, I'm your savior
You like that? It isn't a problem 
Now, right now
I'm a supercharged supersonic
Freshly-poured gin and tonic"A screenshot of the lyrics from The Secret To Life by FIZZ. It reads:
"I deserve a shiny crown
So listen, you're missing
The secret to life
This is the secret to life 
My family? No, I'm nothing like them
Perfect, fantastic
Despite them, I get upset
When you run your mouth"

The Reason by Hoobastank is a BKDK song from Kacchan's pov, specifically like right before he dies, and I will be taking no criticism
A screenshot of the lyrics of the song The Reason by Hoobastank. It reads:
"And so, I have a reason to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And that reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday"Another screenshot of the lyrics of The Reason by Hoobastank, a continuation from the last picture. It reads:
"And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could time it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And that reason is you"

Summary: “It was my idea,” he clarifies, “but Hatsume and Melissa built it. I funded it with our old classmates.” He thinks back to late night phone calls, years of drained back accounts, and never ending shifts, all of it leading up to this. “It’s finally finished. I wanted to show you, before I give it to Izuku. I wanted you to know.” Because that’s all this is about. He’s not asking her for permission. He never intended to. He’s letting her know out of courtesy. Nothing’s gonna stop him from giving this to Izuku. He can only hope she understands, only hope she won’t be upset.
OR, that missing scene in the epilogue where Kacchan tells Izuku's mom he's helping Izuku become a hero again. He stresses about it, too much.

Shameless self promo: Chapter 6 of my fic is up archiveofourown.org/works/59025583 #bnha #fanfic #mha #bkdk
The tags of my fic. The main ones being Graphic Depictions of Violence, Bakugo Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku, Ghost Midoriya Izuku, Grief/mourning, slow burn, canon divergence, parental All Might, blood and injury, memory loss, temporary amnesia, panic attacks, hurt/comfort, and angstThe description of my fic "They mourn but I'm still here (I'm still here)"
It's 31,000 words and has 6 chapters so far.
The beginning of the summary says: "Izuku is dead. He didn't used to know that, but he does now. He's dead, and yet, when he's around All Might and Katsuki Bakugo he feels more alive than he can ever remember feeling. His heart beats and his lungs breathe and he does no feel the cold.

Now if only he can remember who they are, and more importantly, remember who he is.

— — —

He’d felt alive, but he’s not.

His heart was beating, but it isn’t. His lungs were breathing, but they aren’t."The rest of the summary of my fic.
It says: "He’d felt alive, but he’s not.

His heart was beating, but it isn’t. His lungs were breathing, but they aren’t.

And, suddenly, Izuku remembers that word he knew was important earlier. The one for when your heart doesn’t beat and your lungs don’t breath and your body is cold. The one he hadn’t been able to remember, but he remembers now, and the cavern in his chest aches.

He’s not alive, because he’s dead.

— — —

OR, the one where Izuku died before taking the entrance exam and he's a ghost who haunts All Might and Kacchan, trying desperately to remember who he used to be and who they are to him"
