Ok, Togachako fans hear me out-
Ik that the popular au is one where instead of becoming a villain, Himiko goes to UA alongside Ochaco and all that jazz. But I don’t see that much said about the possibility of the opposite. What if Ochaco ran away with Himiko?
Now before you all get confused because Ochaco becoming a villain chances are slim, But! We also know that if her desires for money, and also how much she’d care about Himiko, if it’s pushed enough I can see it being a possibility.
Think about it like this…
Himiko and Ochaco met as children, and while Himiko endured the hardships at home by her parents hands…Ochaco would be the only safe haven for her. With Ochaco…she feels she’s able to truly smile and be herself.
However…even Ochaco’s friendship here isn’t enough sometimes. Because of one person, Saito. Himiko’s urges come to a climax, and since her and Ochaco go to different schools…there’s no one around to stop her. She ends up killing Saito and stealing all his blood. Leaving Himiko one goal in mind: Run.
And once the day had ended, and Ochaco had heard about her friend on the news..Himiko goes to Ochaco as her only hope. Her first thought on a safe place. And while Ochaco is incredibly reluctant at first…her bond with Himiko is strong enough that she helps to hide her away. Both from the police and her own parents. Ochaco would probably even give Himiko some of her blood so that she can go shopping and other places disguised as her.
Unfortunately…this isn’t enough. As it gets increasingly harder to hide Himiko. One night, Himiko prepares her bag, packing clothes and food for herself as well as weapons. Ochaco finds out what she’s doing, she offers to help when Himiko pops a question that’d change their lives forever…
“Ochaco-Chan, will you run away with me?”
And from there…while it normally wouldn’t even be close to something Ochaco would consider. She knows that Himiko would need a helping hand. Someone who can look out and stay by her side…
And thus begins the saga of the villainous friends (lovers)
