History Fanfic / OyasumiMidoriya

** [[InSpiteOfANail Just like in canon,]] Endeavor is still horrible to his son. [[LaserGuidedKarma He ends up getting what's coming to him.]]

* ArcWords: "Are you scared of me?"

* BlindedByTheLight: Midoriya's eyes start spewing light during layer 57, blinding everyone around him. In response to this, he [[EyeScream nails a sheet of iron over his eyes.]]

** Leans into [[SurrealHorror Surreal Horror]] quite a bit, especially in the animatics.
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu?: Virtually the premise of the entire fic.

* EarthyBarefootCharacters: Midoriya/One prefers going barefoot whenever possible. It helps keep him grounded.

[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16237514/chapters/37958840 Oyasumi Midoriya]] was a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfiction that ran from October 18th, 2018, to June 4th, 2020, written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Squiped_Mew Squiped_Mew.]] The story loosely follows the manga's plot,[[spoiler: at least at first]], with most of the changes in the story stem from Midoriya's quirk, which he isn't quite sure of what it does. What follows is his quest to find out what exactly the true depths of his power are, and finding out some sinister secrets about his classmates along the way.

Oyasumi Midoriya is somewhat known for being both an incredibly confusing work, as well as a frightening one. Much of its horror comes from how much of [[MindScrew what exactly is going on is unknown.]] The other half of the horror comes from the fact that in this fic there is [[NoFourthWall No Fourth Wall]], and it is most certainly [[PlayedForHorror Played For Horror.]] Tread lightly, as it does contain quite a bit of disturbing content.

* AdaptationalAbomination: As has become a bit common with some Hero Acadamia fics, Midoriya's quirk is shown to posses monstrous abilities. Taken one step further, when it's revealed that he actually is [[HumanoidAbomination something other than human.]]

** Bakugou: While he starts out the same pompous jerk that he was in the show, overtime he becomes a bit kinder to those around him, probably in no small part to the sobering trip that was the [[WhamEpisode USJ exercise.]]

* AlternateRealityGame: Downplayed. While it has shades of this, with both the links and fact that the commenters have a direct affect on the events of the story, it never strays too far into our reality.

-->''All heads turned to a rotted, blistered claw, grasping on to a rock, pulling itself up, followed by a rotting torso, sand embedded into it’s skin, skeletal legs, and slimy, disgusting, poisoned blood dripping on to the ground, months of rotting in hot sand apparent. The face of the thing wearing Midoriya's rotted skull smiled, eyes falling out of it’s skull.''

* BittersweetEnding: Midoriya goes back to wherever he's from, taking everyone's memories of him with him, save for Bakugou. However, it's shown that because of his non presence, Todoroki has gotten away from his abusive father, and Momo's parents got a divorce, saving her from having to live with them and deal with their disfunction. It's also implied that [[BackFromTheDead Aizawa is back as well.]]

--->He didn’t even hit the ground, stomach being pierced by the trunk of a half burnt pine tree, burned branches having sharpened it to a point. Acrid stomach fluid mixed with blood spilled out, painting the tree red and yellow, tubers twisting and punctuating with sickening splats, Muscular crying and screaming all the while.

** And of course, Six in general. While he looked fairly normal during the first few chapters he appeared, after All-Might accidentally blew a hole in his stomach. [[note]] Although it's implied that Six goaded him into it for his [[ItAmusedMe own sick amusement.]][[/note]] He's then stuck buried in a junk yard for what is almost ''six months.'' It's not pretty when [[TheBusCameBack he finally shows up again.]]

* EyeMotifs: Very prevalent in the antimatics, as [[MediumBlending real life eyes]] show up rather frequently, especially in Six's.

** At the end of every chapter, there is often an encoded link to something, usually story related, that comes from all corners of the internet. The interactivity of that in itself can get pretty screwy when ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou there start being links inserted into the text itself.]]'' Spooky stuff.

* SanitySlippage: One could argue that ''the very fic itself'' is [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou going through this.]] The writing becomes more and more frantic as the story goes on, with some scenes bleeding into each other, chapter titles repeating before glitching out, and the narrators seeming moments of lucidity.

** The Midoriya's give All for One one of these, before they fight.

* VitriolicBestBuds: While Bakugou and Momo bicker quite a bit, they are still shown to care a lot about each other.

* CloningBlues: Midoriya, slowly coming to realize that there are more of them out there, starts to have a decay of his own identity and existence, so much so that he starts going barefoot in order to ground himself in reality.
** Two doesn't seem too happy about being a clone either.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Midoriya/One prefers going barefoot whenever possible. It helps keep him grounded.
