š pls um with class 1a thought on katsuki and undercut-kun relationship plsš
!! Okay, so, everyone kind of has different reactions.
So, like, Deku in theĀ āverse is well aware that Katsuki is gay. He just never considered that the kids that hung around Katsuki were anything but followers. So, when it becomes known that Kariage is Katukiās boyfriend, Deku is shocked beyond words. As Kariage is one of the Aldera kids that Dekuās kind of neutral and mildly salty at, he doesnāt like how close the other boy is to Katsuki, but he knows if he says anything, Katsuki would kick his ass.
Aizawaās reaction is kind of funny. We all know Katsuki is his favorite, probably sees him as having the most potential in 1A and is probably even more protective over him after the kidnaping. So, when he sees this older kid that smells like cigarette smoke casually interact with one of his Problem Children, his instincts are telling him to intervene. I mean, Kariage positively radiatesĀ Bad Boy Energy. However, he sees the way Katsuki lets the boy hang close to him with only a minimal amount of grumbling, he relaxes somewhat. Katsuki is a smart kid, and he wouldnāt voluntarily hang around a bad person, so Aizawa trusts him to handle things.
(and if Aizawa does a little digging later to make sure, only to relax when he finds that Kariage goes to a Hero school, then, well no one needs to know)
The Bakusquad are the most shocked. After all, with them, Katsuki regularly hisses at physical affection and dodges, ducks, and smacks away their attempts at hugging and touching him. And hereās this mysterious boy that appears out of nowhere whoās hand-holding, hugs, and kisses are actually accepted?? Returned?? Katsuki even smiles at him!! Itās so weird, but the whole squad is feeling at least a little bit of jealously, though Ashido and Kaminari are the only ones that state it outright.
Other than them, most of the class is a little bit shocked. Even the ones who arenāt especially close to Katsuki know how he is, and seeing him interact with his mystery friends, his boyfriend, is perplexing.
The fact that I somehow missed this actual masterpiece is a crime and a damn shame and I cannotĀ believe myself. Just?? The way you write them,,, absolute perfection. I donāt know how to describe it, but their interaction, their voices, their banterĀ are all supremely immaculate and Iām in pure awe.
Just,,, Katsuki realizing that knowing someone for as long as he has Kari means they know your next move maybe even better than you do, Kariās incessant teasing, them cuddling?? Bye, I am simply deceased, they are far too adorable for this world. Kari just opening his arms and baiting Katsuki into hugging him?? Perfection, I love it.
Katsuki not pulling away from Kariās kisses because he craves affection is just,,, adorable. The whole thing with Kari being weaker than Katsuki but still holding him anywaysĀ š please, Your Honor, theyāre in love. And the part where Kari teases Katsuki about Deku is fantastic, especially the part where he insinuated Deku was salty heĀ wasnāt the one dating Katsuki - that had me laughing so hard.
And the end?? Where Kari takes such pride in dating Katsuki to the point where he bragsĀ about it and the wholeĀ āIād never, Katsukiā?? Please, I am deceased, he is just?? so in love with Katsuki and heās proud of it and heāll never deny Katsuki what he wants because heās just?? so?? in love??
Once again, you slap me in the face with your amazing writing and characterizations and I am!! so!! grateful!! <33
ā»DO NOT REPOST / HOST MY WORK ON OTHER APPS OR SITES
āLet me guessā¦Midoriya?ā
Katsuki throws his bag at Kariage, who catches the thing with a stupid-ass grin. Thatās the annoying thing about living with and dating someone whoās known you since you were a middle schoolerā they know you far, far too well to not predict your movements. He says,Ā āStop guessing my problems for the day, bastard.ā
āBut itās such a fun game,ā Kariage teases, setting aside his bag on the couch before opening his arms wide.Ā āCāmon, tell me.ā
āYou seriously think Iām letting you hold me?ā
āAre you saying you canāt take being held by me?ā
Katsukiās eye twitches at the obvious bait.

For those unaware of the fanart being referenced, you can find it HERE!
But, asdfghjkl!! Iāve thought so long and hard about this photoset since Iāve found it. It just looks so magical, if that makes sense? The atmosphere, lighting, colors, motions and expressions just perfectly portray all that needs to be said, and every time I look at the art, I feel literal shivers, itās thatĀ amazing.
The story you added, with everyone being there to see Katsukiās surprise and watch as he stands in shock, rushing forward to reunite with a long lost friend. Itās amazing how you subtly reference their falling out, how it happened because Katsuki was still too fragile and lasted because both were too stubborn to go back to each other. The little details you add: everyone calling to Katsuki as he runs, the old bracelet Kariage still wore years later, how you can almost feelĀ the scene of two friends reuniting like nothing ever happened.
I love this, so freaking much.
Do you guys know that fanart of Bakugou being in the train and as he looks outside the window he sees Kariage lighting a cigarette at one of the stops?Ā
First of all I think about it every day.
But second of all⦠Whatās the story? I want it, I need it.
Just⦠Imagine if his classmates were with him on the train, they were all standing next to him, talking and laughing in the cold winter night, and Katsuki is tired, heās ready to go the fuck to sleep, he can barely keep up with the conversation and so heās just gazing out the window.
Suddenly, the train slows down, the outside which was blurry just seconds ago suddenly coming into focus.
Katsuki ignored the way the conversation around him stilled as he gasped, feet moving forward until he was stood before the window, head tilting to the side as he desperately tried to keep his eyes on him.Ā
Because it was him, there was no one else that it couldāve been, and Katsuki would never not recognise him, no matter how long itād been since theyād last spoken.
It had been a while, though. Since Kariage had come over after the Sludge Villain, when Katsuki was still broken, still fragile and haunted by the memories of what had happened, and for the first time⦠They argued. They yelled and threw insults until their throats hurt and Kariage left with hurt in his gaze.Ā
Their own stubborness stopped them from talking again.
But he was there, now. Right fucking there with the same haircut, same type of cigarette between his lips and the shitty, worn-out bracelet Katsuki had given him years ago still around his wrist.
āBakugou? You alright, man?ā He heard someone ask, but it didnāt matter. They didnāt matter.
All that was important was that he get the fuck off the damn train.
Soon he got the chance.
The second the doors slid open he ran through his group of friends, ignoring their yells and the calls of his name as he ran towards him.
As if he could sense him, Kariage turned around, their eyes finally meeting as he withdrew the cigarette and, with a smirk, blew the smoke out to the side.
āHey, Katsuki.ā
And Katsuki couldnāt help it. He smiled.
Hi! I just wanted to drop a headcannon I'm currently finding motivation to write here because I'm still new on the discord server and stated before that I get panicked easily!
Imagine this: Kariage and Katsuki gave each other promise rings in middle school but they lost contact when Katsuki went to UA... Kariage on the other hand, became a popular singer or something and he has lots of fangirls, but despite that he's still loyal to Katsuki and wants to find him again like a modern day Romeo and Juliet. He wears the promise ring and his fans starts to notice and ofc there are *THOSE* fangirls that try and buy matching ones... What they didn't know was that the promise ring Kariage wore had a vow or sentence that only he and Katsuki knew... Now back to Katsuki, he rarely wears the promise ring but he still kept it and polished it and the only ones who realised that Katsuki was wearing the ring were Momo and Deku but they decided to leave it be
OK, now onto how they're reunited...basically the fangirls are getting wild so Kariage finally revealed that he has a lover but won't say who... So one day he decides to have a little concert at UA because they really need something fun (also because he knew Katsuki was there)... He was allowed a tour in the school and let's say, coincidentally Katsuki walks by and Kariage sees him and he grabs Katsuki and makes him turn towards Kariage so he could see his face... Now, Katsuki wanted to yell at him but then realised it was Kariage so he of course was shocked and said "Holy sh*t- Kariage-?" and then Kariage just smirks and then everyone else is just shocked and Kariage just says "Hello Strawberry" (OK but imagine Strawberry as a nickname because what if Katsuki was a sucker for strawberry flavored things-) and then they kiss in front of everyone and they are just like- so shocked because our local angry Pomeranian??? With famous singer Kariage???
Dadzawa in the bag like: AYO STOP HITTING ON MY PROBL- AYE STOP KISSING-
!!! Omg youāre our newest member?? i think?? Anyways, welcome to the discord server, I hope you like it well <33
As for your little concept - its super cute!! I love thinking of all different types of AUs when it comes to these two, but this one is interesting!! I really do like the concept of Kariage and Katsuki exchanging promise rings (I have a century old concept of Kari proposing to Katsuki at a festival which has been in the works for,,, forever) and the idea of the two of them being in a secret relationship and/or losing contact is!! just!! one of my favorite things to think about, to be honest, because of the sheer amount of possibilities. Especially if you add in some good olā Dadzawa, ya feel?Ā š
And, the concept of Kari calling Katsuki every type of pet name to show his love and affection? Your Honor, I love them so. Thanks for sending this in!! It gave me just the right amount of serotonin <33
Idea: dadzawa gives kariage a shovel talk with the Aldera gang present. Katsuki is embarrassed and amused. Aldera gang are happily watching with popcorn. Mic, deku and inko join the talk. Do what you will with this.
asdfghjk I hope you know that Iām trying my absolute best to try and fit in at least one (1) shovel talk into the main fic, and understand that, if i canāt, itās 100% going to be one of the interlude one-shot. Regardless, itās going to happen.
Pablo, Pablo, oh my God, Pablo. Howās it feel to own my entire heart just by drawing this? I freaking loveĀ them and I adoreĀ you from drawing this, you talented, amazing, astounding person. I just?? Kariās half-lidded eyes and pierced ears? Immaculate, and I am absolutely enviousĀ of the way you draw proportions. Yasushi, with his absolutely amazingĀ hair, slanted eyes, and smile? Bye, Iām in actual love. And, Seika? Pablo, Pablo, sheās beautiful. Her cute lil nose and fluffy hair and big eyes? Once again, I say this with as much feeling as possible: I love you from the bottom of my actual heartĀ from drawing them so perfectly.
mmmmmm Katsucrew go brrrrrrrr
I am banging my fists on a table as we speak. Oh my god, I just?? I really like this?? I remember when you messaged me about this, and I was super excited to see how you handled this!! To be honest, I neverĀ expected Kariage and KariBaku to get as popular as it did. When I first started shipping it back in August-ish, literally no oneĀ I knew had heard of it. Only a few Japanese and Korean writers and artists had works spread across the web, and @pyrrhicwildfire had their fic on ao3 that came out last year, which helped me get hooked.
Now, weāve got a whole ass Discord server for KariBaku, so many talented artists and writers creating amazingĀ content every freaking day, and a doc for Kariage and his rise to fame?? Please, I am soĀ happy that you made this!! It was absolutely perfect, even for a work-in-progress, and I canāt thank you enough for making it <33
The Kariage Master Doc
It is a somewhat collective from of Kariage and his character. It's still unfinished but I'm planing on adding onto it. Such as expanding on the history of the character and other smaller aspects. Going more into depth with his dynamic and the versatility that it holds.
I just wanna thank you so much. Undercut-kun and the other childhood friends are so underrated because people don't realize it's beauty. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. I love you and your content.
AHH omg youāre so nice!! Yeah, honestly, this wholeĀ āverse just came about because I wanted Katsuki to have a childhood friend turned boyfriend in a story i was outlining, but Deku just wasnāt fitting in right, you know? And I remembered some of pyrrhicwildfireās stuff on Twitter and I got curious. Before long, I was scouring everywhere I could for content, but I couldnāt find all that much!!
Then, when rewatching the first two episodes, I noticed some interesting character designs in Katsukiās middle school class and thought that, if Katsuki could have a boyfriend from middle school, why not a bunch of friends?
Honestly, Iām just really excited to start writing the actual series, as Iām planning on (hopefully) having at least five stories for the officialĀ āverse with at least four spin-off AUs.
Also, I appreciate your love for thisĀ āverse!! It makes me happy that people enjoy my content that much <33
Wait, you said that you will write your verse. Will you write it here and/or in the other platform? Like ao3? I'm kinda confused:o But, btw, I love your verse. I ship undercut-kun with Katsuki since day one but can't find much about them:(
asdfghj Iām so happy that thisĀ āverse is so loved!! Iāll be posting the series on AO3!! Iām not certain when the first part will be up, especially since school is really kicking my ass this week, but Iām hoping to finish the test fic (the Fantasy AU) by next week, fingers crossed!! <33
does the katsucrew apologize to izuku?
Okay, so, I hope you donāt mind, but Iām going to preface this answer with a bit of a warning: some people might not necessarily like my answer to this, however, Iām taking from my own experiences of being bullied, so please know that this has influenced how Iām answering this ask. Thank you for understanding!!
So, the thing is, the only two of the group that canonically bully Deku are Katsuki and Yasushi. You can have different opinions on whether Kariage was a bully or not, but I donāt actually consider him one! Thus, I donāt think heād necessarily oweĀ Deku an apology.
As for the rest of the Katsucrew: I think, overall, itād vary.
For example, while Seika was shown to be one of the classmates to laugh when itās revealed Deku wanted to go to UA, her character in the Undercut-verse is that of someone whoād be at least a little bit nice to even people she doesnāt like or care about. Iām considering whether or not I want her to apologize, but know that if she does, itād be more of a general apology about what Deku went through rather than any one specific instance involving her.
Mito, another one of the crew canonically shown to laugh at Deku, I feel would contribute more in teasing Deku rather than outright bullying him. Because of this, she probably wouldnāt view her actions as being all that bad, especially in contrast to how other people treated him and most likely wouldnāt even think that itās worth apologizing about.
Hifue would 100% call Katsuki out if he ever went too far, as would the rest of the crew. However, as someone who understands emotions in a rather distant way and regards Deku rather neutrally, sheād probably be one of the ones to not really care about the whole situation, especially since she doesnāt consider Deku a friend.
Henshuu, I feel, wouldnāt like Deku. Sheās portrayed as someone who respects those that put in work and actively pursue their goals, so Dekuās complete lack of work ethic in regards to his dreams would most likely grate at her nerves. I know that she wouldnāt be on Katsukiās level, but she was one of the gang who probably pushed Deku around a bit when they were younger. As for an apology, I donāt think sheād give one, as sheās someone very prideful and stubborn, but who knows where the āverse will take us?
However, out of the whole crew, I think the only one Deku would actively dislike would be Yasushi, who may or may not apologize and was, from what weāve seen, nearly just as much of an asshole to Deku as Katsuki was. Heād also have a very neutral view of Kariage, someone who never outright bullied him but stood by while it happend. However, heād probably harbor some jealously of the boy, considering his close relationship with Katsuki that was formed in half the time Deku knew Katsuki.
Please note that these interpretations might change come the actual story, but this is what I have for right now!!
