Oh God! Natural light!
Hello. I have a concept of What If? MHA story, where classes 1-A and 1-B have 2 students than in canon. It's working title is "Night Phantasm". The story would start during Quirk Apprehension Test Arc.
A big factor in this story is a Hero Agency operating in Tokyo prefecture named Night Phantasm (hence the title), since 2 of 4 new students are connected to the agency and the leader took an interest in classes 1-A and 1-B. The story would also feature a new group of Villains not associated with Shigaraki and his cronies, that would target Eri to replicate Quirk-killing bullets. I haven't decided yet on the group's name, but I have a list of potential names: "Anathema", "Children of the Night" (to mark them as Night Phantasm's complete opposite and as archenemies) or "Nightmare".
Here's the list of new characters (so far):
- Akira Yamamoto [Hero Name: Red Duke] - Leader of Night Phantasm and ranked 12th Hero in Japan. A legal guardian of Shido Minegishi and father of Mikasa Yamamoto. His Quirk, Blood Rush, grants him super strength and agility after consuming blood. The duration of power-up dependent on blood type. Expy of Slayer from Guilty Gear (been listening to Guilty Gear soundtrack when making him).
- Shido Minegishi [Hero Name: Black Knight] - Student of class 1-A, ward of the Red Duke and Deuteragonist of the story (Midoriya is the protagonist). His mother died because of a reckless Pro Hero and his father became a Villain after said Pro Hero avoided punishment. He seeks to become a Hero to stop his father's criminal spree and become Internal Reformist for hero society. He's suppose to be the Batman to Midoriya's Superman. His Quirk, Umbra Arsenal, allows him to create constructs out of dark energy. Said constructs are extremely durable, but can be easily destroyed with bright sources of light (like Bakugou's explosion) and need to remain in Shido's physical contact, or else they'll dissolve into a black mist. Creating dark energy requires food. The more he uses his powers, the more he gets famished. He both hates and fears Himiko Toga because of her obsession with blood.
- Asuka Tanikawa [Hero Name: White Tiger] - Student of class 1-A and a very close friend of Shido. Like Midoriya, she is a big fan of Pro Heroes. She idolizes Mirko the same way Deku idolizes All Might. She was the one who convinced Shido to become Internal Reformist and intends to support him every step of the way. She often takes the role of class 1-A's Team Mom. She also mercilessly teases Ochako over her crush on Izuku. Her Quirk, Tiger, gives Asuka tiger related abilites. Despises Mineta for his perverted tendencies and often threatens to punt him like a soccer ball.
- Mikasa Yamamoto [Hero Name: Crimson Princess] - Student of class 1-B and daughter of Red Duke. She seeks to take over her father's Hero Office and be at the top 10 list of Pro Heroes in Japan. Like Kendou, she's the most level-headed member of class 1-B and keeps Monoma in check. She often encourages both classes to cooperate and study together. She treats Shido like her brother [with no romantic subtext] and wants him to succeed in his goals. She inherited her father's Quirk, Blood Rush. Drinking blood gives her super strength and agility. Unlike her father, she also gains heightened smell. She seems to be interested in Izuku. She also hates Toga Himiko for the same reason as Shido (and for seeing her as her own twisted reflection).
- Big Bad Witch - Leader of the Villain group going after Eri. She used to be All For One's subordinate, but decided to become independent after her boss' imprisonment. She was planning to betray All For One to break free of his control. Now she plans to take over Japan with Quirk-killing ammunition. With it, she could eliminate both Heroes and rival Villains (especially Shigaraki).
So, what do you think?
World's Cutest Direwolf
How does someone not affiliated with the Eight Precepts even know that Eri is the source of Quirk-destroying bullets? Overhaul's not the kind of guy to spread around info on the source of his ace in the hole.
I have an idea of how they would get that information. A member of Bid Bad Witch's crew was also "recruited" the same way Himiko and Twice were. But, instead of sabotaging Overhaul's operations, he or she were to spy on Eights Precepts. The said member possessed a Quirk perfect for espionage missions. Big Bad Witch planned to take over Overhaul's yakuza and eliminate Eight Precepts. To do that, she needed to know Chisaki's weaknesses.
Instead of finding his weaknesses, Big Bad Witch obtained much more valuable information: Quirk-killing drug, Overhaul's plans and Eri being the source of said drug. With Eight Precepts out of commission and Overhaul crippled, Big Bad Witch took over what was left of Chisaki's yakuza and decided to replicate Quirk-killing drug for her own devious plans.
I haven't created any additional plotholes with this explanation, right?
Not as angry as the name would suggest.
In regards to character names, you should probably know that there is already a Marvel Comics character called White Tiger. Not saying that you have to change anything, just letting you know in case that might matter to you (it would matter to me, at least).
"Big Bad Witch", as far as names go, does seem a bit lackluster? If she's at all associated with Night Phantasm (and I don't know if she is - I suppose I just got that impression since you listed them all together), then maybe consider theming her name like theirs? Or else try to come up with something a little more...menacing, I suppose? I'm guessing - and I could be wrong - that you're trying to evoke the Big Bad Wolf, but I don't think it quite works here.
Anyway, at what point in canon would this story involve the Eight Precepts? I might be a bit worried that this would end up a repeat of either the Overhaul arc or the League of Villains getting their hands on the serum, but with different characters.
I don't want to discourage you or anything - you should write whatever feels right to you. I do think, however, that it would pay to consider how your characters can uniquely contribute to MHA's world.
On an another note, my friend and I have computed Chapters Six and Seven of Devil's Drink. These were meant to be a single chapter, but it was getting a little long for our tastes, so we split it in two. If anyone would like to take a look and leave us a comment, we'd really appreciate it.

Oh God! Natural light!
Thank you for telling me this.
Well, I named Asuka "White Tiger", because she was born with white hair and blue eyes, giving her an appearance similar to those of white tigers. I could always name her "Byakko" after the White Tiger of the West, one of four symbols in Chinese constellation.
And, regarding Big Bad Witch. I just called her that, because I based her of Hilda from Under Night In-Birth and Dracula from Castlevania. Like Hilda, she lusts for more power and, like Dracula, she possesses a very devastating Quirk. Also, her Villain costume is basically a witch costume. I could always name her Hecate or Eris.
Lastly, I had an alternative version of her gang's arc. But, it is heavily inspired by Castlevania [Fun Fact: Shido's abilities were inspired by Shanoa and her Glyphs from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia]. In a nutshell, Anathema is "looking" for new members. And, by "looking", I mean kidnapping small-time Villains, Pro Heroes and even students from academies to either brainwash them into servitude or turn them Noumu-like monsters called Chimeras (Big Bad Witch tried to replicate Nomu creation and she somewhat succeeded. Chimera lacks multiple Quirks like Nomus, but are far more intelligent and still loyal to her). This story arc would focus mainly on Shido and Midoriya trying to escape Anathema's base of operations and both classes 1-A and 1-B trying to break them out with the assistance of Night Phantasm. Shido's showdown with Anathema's leader would be like battle between Dracula and a member of Belmont clan. I would need to plan this more carefully though. For starters, how would Anathema brainwash others? Maybe a hypnotizing Quirk?
Thank you for pointing out those flaws to me. I still have much more work to do with it.
The Tick meets My Hero Academia.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/TheUltimateHopeandTheSymbolofPeace
a danganronpa/mha crossover, but this time its with hajime....sort of at UA, and deku is his foil
Well there's nothing there except a summary, so I guess I'll see what else is new on that p...
"The Tick vs... MY HERO ACADEMIA!"
Thanks for introducing me to that fanfic.
...
I know little about this series besides second-hand info I've gathered from coming across fanworks, however I'm surprised by how big the fanfic section is on AO 3.
I'll like to share this with you guys Look At Me.
It's a Oneshot with the pairing "Quirless! Midoriya x Fem! Shinsou".
I wrote it some months ago but haven shared it until now.
Crazy Crossover Creator - A Man with Many Hypoth
Here’s an interesting idea to discuss. How would most characters in-universe react to most elements in MHA fan fiction? You know, stuff like,
- Izuku being the son of All for One, All Might, or Endeavor (Usually the bastard son of Enji for the latter.)
- Inko and All Might being a couple
- Most characters being another sexuality, even if they were to show no signs in canon like KiriBaku, TodoDeku, Momo x Jirou, Ochako x Tsuyu, etc.
- Katsuki and/or Endeavor going through Adaptational Villainy or at least Adaptational Jerkass
- Even obscure ones like Inko being Nana Shimura’s daughter who she kept a secret.
- Tenya getting killed by Stain in most fanfics that don’t have Izuku attend U.A. or is at least not part of Class 1-A
- Villain Izuku fics in general (Bonus points if someone from Class 1-A like Shouto or Ochako join him)
- Another obscure one being Inko as a vigilante.
- Mineta being swapped out for Shinsou.
- Izuku being in a harem.
- Izuku’s dad Hisashi being a villain or even All for One himself.
Imagine the reactions from most characters reading some MHA fanfics with one or more of these elements.

All right, I'll give it a shot.
- Izuku freaks out at the idea of not being his father's son. Both he and Bakugou try and fail to process the concept of him being related to All-Might, while Todoroki calmly notes that he called it.
- Basically the same as the above, really.
- The character in question is shocked that someone called their sexuality like that. They'd only just figured things out themselves, and have been too busy with hero training to really explore it.
- Post-character-development Endeavor knows full well he's been a shithead, so being faced with an exaggerated version of that probably just makes him brood uncomfortably. Bakugo could go the same route, or berserk out in a way that completely fails to help his case, because with Bakugo berserking out is always an option.
- Inko is immediately moved to the UA campus for her own protection, just in case.
- I mean, that's absolutely what would have happened if Izuku wasn't around from sheer coincidence, so besides generic sadness over Iida's death there's not much of a reaction to have here.
- Izuku's tears crack the earth. The rest of the class busts a gut at the thought of Midoriya, out of anyone, becoming a villain.
- Izuku is in starry-eyed awe of how badass his mom is.
- Cheers from the female members of UA. Death glares from Mineta.
- Izuku.exe has stopped due to the hardware overheating. Mineta and Bakugo, for very different reasons, lose their goddamn minds with rage. Mina is transfixed by such juicy scandalousness.
- Izuku doesn't know why people hate his dad so much. First they break him up with his mom, now they make him a villain? Whyyy?
The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
What I'm interested in right now is if there are any fanfics that put an interesting spin on Tohru's invisibility Quirk; I'm quite annoyed at Horikoshi insisting on portraying it as permanently active, for one. Any fics that make the Quirk able to be turned on and off at will by Tohru, even if she spends almost all of her time with it turned on (maybe she secretly has a complex about her appearance despite being canonically proven via clothing outline to be quite curvy)?

World's Cutest Direwolf
Why is Tooru's invisibility being always-on an annoyance? That's the first time I've heard that opinion expressed, so I don't think you'll have a lot of luck finding stuff that does away with it.
The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
Well, for one thing, unless her Quirk only manifested very late (which is unlikely), nobody would or could know what she actually looks like besides whatever vague impression of her overall shape that you could get from either touching her all over (which would be a serious invasion of her personal space) or spraying her with paint. Not even Tohru herself note . This seems like ample fuel for at least some significant angst about the downside of being permanently invisible.
Also, having a character be impossible to be ever physically seen due to being permanently invisible for the entirety of a long-running story that isn't running primarily/wholly on ridiculous comedy, and especially not exploring the ramifications of such a state on the person in question (not helped by her being seriously Out of Focus), is frankly boring to me and reeks of laziness-induced wastefulness.
That being said, the fact that she displays the ability to manipulate light passing through her to essentially create bright flashes of light strong enough to temporarily blind and disorient people implies that her invisibility is due to a bizarre form of light refraction, which in turn hints that she either already can drop the invisibility if she wants to but has personal reasons for not doing so yet (be it that she likes trolling people, is ashamed of her appearance being allegedly "freakish", or something else), or currently lacks sufficient control and can eventually learn how to do it.

My favorite subswt fan content is the one whwre Bakugou and Deku get huge when they're older. Some even take it to crazy levels with Deku or Bakugou getting freakishly bigger than the other.
10ft Deku? Nah they go crazy and thats small.
Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.
The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
... What does "subswt" mean? Googling just gives me all sorts of unrelated results that clearly have nothing to do with anime/manga/fanfics, let alone My Hero Academia.

Guessing Omega meant "subset", but missed the e.
‘My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
People keep thinking that Of A is the reason that All Might was All Might-sized, even though none of the other other bearers were that big.
World's Cutest Direwolf
Course, none of the previous bearers had as large a stockpile. We've seen Deku discover aspects of the quirk that his predecessors didn't realize existed, so it's not unreasonable to headcanon that Toshinori unlocked a whole new level of swole.
Yeah I meant to put subset.

I'm not really up for leaving detailed commentary right now, but maybe I can leave a comment on the fic later.
