"Which way did he go?” shouted Maddie.
Jack looked at her. The orange lenses of her goggles hid her eyes from him, but her ruby lips underneath were puckered in a determined frown.
“He couldn’t have gotten far,” said Jack, scanning the streets for his son’s familiar aura. He spoke again in a lower voice, “You’re tracking him, right?”
“Don’t break character, he could be nearby,” Maddie murmured harshly, her lips barely moving as she discreetly checked her tracking scanner.
“Well, is he?” whispered Jack with a bite of his own.
Maddie gave him a warning look before saying more loudly, “Let’s check over there.”
Jack followed Maddie as she started walking. She soundlessly held up a scanner in front of his face, and Jack could see that they were walking toward Danny’s location.
“Are you sure you want to go this way?” Jack asked in a loud voice, trying to hint his confusion to Maddie. Why were they headed toward Danny? Wouldn’t she rather let him get away from them without trouble?
“Yes, I’m sure,” said Maddie. “I thought I heard something coming from this direction.”
Maddie gave him a harsh look to stop questioning her and just follow her lead. Jack sighed and ran after her. This whole thing really was more her experiment than his anyway. Whatever she wanted to do, he just had to go along with it.
Although he couldn’t deny that their findings so far had been exciting. And having a specimen living with them in their own home was certainly convenient.
One car drove by as they headed down the street along the sidewalk, but the area was otherwise quiet, illuminated by a few very yellow streetlamps.
Jack checked the time on his watch. “He really just stopped caring about curfew after he became a ghost, didn’t he?”
“He chose to be a superhero that fights ghosts,” said Maddie. “Ghosts are more active at night.”
Maddie stopped abruptly and silently pointed down an alley between two buildings. She pressed herself against the wall and peered around the corner. Jack stood close to her to get a good look as well.
Danny was squaring off against a tiger ghost covered in spiky fur charged with electrical ghostly energy. The tiger lunged at Danny, throwing him into the chain-link fence at the back of the alley. Danny was down on the ground for only a moment before springing back up and firing a ghost ray.
“Amazing that he’s not even scared,” said Jack. “All fight.”
“He gets that from me,” said Maddie. “Plus his fighting skills. He needs to tighten up that form, though.” Maddie sighed and shook her head as she continued watching him. “Come on, Danny. I paid good money for those martial arts classes.”
The tiger pinned Danny to the ground and raised a paw, claws out, fur bristling.
Jack fingered the trigger of his ecto-gun. “Maddie, maybe we should—”
Maddie held up a hand to quiet him. Jack promptly shut his mouth and relaxed his hold on his gun.
The tiger brought down its paw in a quick swipe, clawing open Danny’s cheek. Ectoplasm oozed from the fresh wounds as Danny cried out.
Jack sucked his teeth. “Mads—”
“Give him a chance, Jack.”
The tiger raised its paw again. Danny lay beneath it, clutching his face and looking stunned.
“Maddie, come on,” said Jack, giving her a stern but pleading look.
Maddie sighed and aimed her gun, pulling the trigger and blasting the tiger with a bright green ray of ectoplasm. The tiger howled and sailed into the chain-link fence, rattling it.
“Why didn’t you want to do that before he got clawed?” asked Jack.
“I’m interested in seeing how quickly he’ll heal from it.” Maddie cocked her head. “Aren’t you?”
Jack froze, unsure how to answer that. He only moved when Maddie led the way into the alley.
Danny was still on the ground, sitting up on his forearms and staring at the tiger dizzily rising to its feet next to the fence. He turned to face Jack and Maddie as they ran up to him.
“I thought I lost you,” he said, grunting as he pushed himself off the ground to stand.
“You thought wrong,” said Maddie, charging her gun and aiming it right at him.
Danny raised his hands up by his head. “Listen, I’m not—”
The tiger roared and started lunging toward him. Jack grabbed his Thermos and sucked the ghost inside in a burst of light before it could lay another claw on Danny.
Maddie glared at him, her bottom lip pushing up in a disapproving pout. Jack glared back. She wasn’t just expecting him to let their son be mauled, was she?
With his hands still up, Danny took a couple steps back. “Okay, threat’s gone, so I’ll just be on my way.”
“You’re not going anywhere, ghost,” said Maddie, advancing toward him.
Jack held up the Thermos, shaking it. “You’re coming with us.”
Danny retreated a couple more steps until his back hit the chain-link fence. “Thanks for the invitation, but I’m already out way past my curfew, so—”
Maddie fired a blast, which hit the fence right next to his head. He staggered a few steps to the side, staring at the patch of burnt metal the blast left behind.
“Okay, your objection is noted.” Danny’s voice squeaked. “But can’t I have any say in this?”
Maddie fired again, this time hitting his knee. Danny yelled and dropped to the ground, clutching it.
Jack dropped his jaw and stared at Maddie. Her eyes were fixed on Danny.
“Now, Jack,” said Maddie. “Don’t let our specimen get away.”
Jack looked down at his Thermos, then her again. She couldn’t possibly want him to actually capture their son. She hadn’t told him this part of her scheme for the evening.
Danny gasped and stood again, hopping on his uninjured leg until he was back against the fence again. This time, he phased through the fence.
Maddie ran up to the fence and linked her gloved fingers through the chain links. She gritted her teeth and scowled at him. “Coward.”
“I don’t want to fight you,” said Danny, pleading.
Maddie pressed the barrel of her gun against the fence. Danny hopped another couple steps before launching into the air in a streak of light, vanishing himself. Jack and Maddie both stared up at the sky where they saw him last.
“I’m surprised he hung around that long,” said Maddie, shutting off her gun.
Jack turned to her, his tongue sputtering in his mouth as he tried to get his words out. “You shot him!”
“I had to show him we were serious,” said Maddie with a shrug.
“But you shot him! Like actually hurt him!”
“Just his leg, Jack. He’ll heal just fine. At worst, he’ll have a limp.”
“But you—”
“Danny knows how serious we are about our research. It would’ve been suspicious if we went too easy on him. He has to believe that we have absolutely no idea who he really is.”
Jack exhaled loudly as tremors gripped his upper body.
“But it’s interesting that he admitted to having a curfew,” said Maddie, looking up at the sky again. “Not sure if that was a slip or if he just figured we wouldn’t possibly understand what that really meant.”
She pulled out her scanner, reading the display. Jack did not come closer to try to read it himself.
“Looks like he’s heading home,” said Maddie. “Good. He has that math test tomorrow; he really needs to get some sleep. I might have to hire a tutor if he fails again.”
Maddie began walking out of the alley. Jack stared after her.
“Coming, Jack?”
Jack shook himself out of his trance and followed her.

I honestly cannot believe how far T(W)ERF rhetoric has spread on this site. They used to be the ONLY ones I saw openly mocking the concept of identifying as queer, the ONLY ones I saw referring to people as ‘kweer’ in a mocking way.
hi i just created an excel sheet where i can pick a meal and have it autopopulate the ingredients i'll need as a shopping list
i have never felt so smart
Guys I can't find the 'Identity reveal to the public / school field trip reveal / stuck on an island / trapped identity reveal' fics, would y'all do a favor and reply/reblog with some you know of? Thanks!
🥲 I love your art and vibe in general , I was wondering if your ao3 bookmarks are public??? I just feel like you have some BANGER fics to browse through
Thank you ! This is embarrassing lmao I read a lot of fics and I think a have almost 500 public bookmarks 😭 my username on there is just habs if you wanted to browse them, a huge chunk of them are quirk accident stuff
my personal recommendations:
si vis pacem by athenoot - 70k incomplete - john wick reincarnates as deku, it’s so good and also a Very Funny concept to me
the dispatcher by bovie - 18k incomplete - deku’s like a semi omnipent god and also ten years old and also works as a dispathcer for underground heroes! The dedication the author has put into the fic is insane there’s so many maps, the disaster management and just everything is so well thought out and researched it’s honestly really impressive
permanent ink by maxine - 117k complete - it’s a bkdk soulmate fic, you get words on your arm at a certain age, something that your soulmate has said to you that’s important. Bakugou knows it’s deku but doesn’t know how to tell him. It’s bkdk but it also lowkey really made me like bakukami too
vacation by literalpieceoftrash - 10k incomplete - the last update was Awhile ago but I recommend it wholeheartedly anyways. Basically planes trains and automobiles except all for one accidentally kidnaps deku when he steals inko’s rental car and so all might (posing as a civilian) and her are trying to get deku back, and everyone is collectively trying to make their way across the country to get to california for the hero convention (to top it off, it’s also dad for one) 10/10
seeping through by ashenice - 6k complete - I love fics with the one for all holders so much, anything with the quirk haunted tag I will gobble up and this one is super funny. Summary is deku starts developing traits/skills from the past users starting with a shellfish allergy
the fine line (between you and me) by azureflowers - 50k complete - bkdk sharing a body I love bodyswap shenanigans so much and this one was so fun to read ! Little angst, little goofy, deku’s body technically kicks it but,,, it’s fine
cat’s paws on calm water by floating cow - 19k complete - pro hero!deku goes back in time to stop villains from attacking his class, tries to do so wothout being found out but it doesn’t fully go as planned. One of my favourite time travel fics ! I’ve reread it at least once I like it a whole bunch
a bunny and her son by wonhaebunny - 2k complete - this one is topical because of the bunny bakugou stuff I drew, but bakugou’s a big miruko stan and doesn’t know how to act when he meets her it’s just very cute and sweet and deku’s a little shit <3
gingerbread cookies by necroesthe - 14k complete - I originally read this when I was looking for peanut allergy!deku stuff and it’s so sweet I love it a lot. It’s shindeku and summary is deku get too many cavities so his mom (and everyone in 1a) bans him from eating sweets, he finds shinsou making cookies and decides to kick it with him during lunches
I just saw these news that this brazilian 15 years old boy made a fake profile pretending to be a 14 years old girl
And with this profile, he baited a creepy old dude
And so they agree to meet at a nearby park during the night.
And the old dude goes there, expecting to find some naive girl to be preyed upon
only to find the 15 years old boy
dressed as SPIDER-MAN
AND DRESSED AS SPIDER-MAN
THE BOY KICKED THE DUDE’S ASS. LIKE. LEGIT KICK HIS ASS
HE HAD BRASS KNUCKLES
Of course, the creep wasn’t happy with it, and called the police on the spiderman kid. And when the police found the kid, you know what he did?
He said “that guys a pedo lol” and gave them a drive with all the evidence he collected thru the profile
Thank you, Spider-man. Thank you for your service.
You ever stand there and watch everything fall apart and just think “ah yes, time to return to my roots” and restart an obsession from 10 years ago or are you normal
since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.
please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.
Are you in the mood to perhaps compile fics with that specific dadzawa & dadmic situation? ♡
:O!! YES ALWAYS??? OMG OKAY
For anyone who hasn’t seen it this ask is in reference to this comic I made about one of my favorite types of bnha fanfic: Aizawa and Yamada having already adopted Shinsou and Eri, realize Bakugou might also need some help.
It’s not entirely clear in my comic lmao but I feel like if you know, you know. Anyway here are some of my favorites!
note: because of the subject matter, most if not all of these contain themes of physical/emotional abuse and neglect. Check the tags for details
pump the break by stolenbythewestwind
this one is first because this fic. oh this fic eviscerates me. I really like Shinsou's characterization here, and the attention given to how he adjusts to Bakugou's presence. Also it can be so hard to write Mitsuki in a way that feels real in a situation like this, I swear to god this fic this fic is the blueprint. If I ever shut up about pump the break I am dead and gone from this earth.
this family of ours by ghostoutofhisgrave
A one-shot from Mic's pov about how they got all their kids. This one also includes Todoroki and is so fucking sweet. I love how Eri is so happy to have new brothers and they immediately roll with it.
It's Called: Freefall by poddunkk
This one is like good parenting slowburn because Bakugou doesn't move in until deep into the fic but god I love this one. The way Bakugou and Shinsou go from awkward, annoyed, mutuals to brothers is fantastic. There's mention of Eri being introduced soon!
Okay moving away from my comic just a bit! Here some of my favs where their family is generally already established, but still feature Bakugou, Shinsou, and dadzawa/dadmic:
Our House, Our Lives. (Part four of Homemade Families) by Heroesloverofbooks
This is a short series of fics! Including Todoroki, but no Eri in these ones. I picked part four because this one is my favorite; I like the silly sibling banter and Bakugou's dramatic ass.
Silent Treatement (Part two of Learning to Juggle) by SmartiMart
Another fantastic series, it's different from most other I've read because this time it's Shinsou, Bakugou, and Midoriya in the house (No Eri). The situations that get Bakugou and Midoriya into the erasermic fam are also unique, it's not usually what I go for with them, but the characterization has me by the throat.
Special Note: I HIGHLY suggested reading part two first. The plot of Silent Treatement is Bakugou and Midoriya have a fight and no one else can figure out why. I won't spoil it, but there's this scene where Bakugou admits something and Aizawa has this oh shit moment that hits so much harder without the context from part one.
now by theghoulinyourattic
A one-shot that's on the shorter end but I adore the characterization here. He would fucking do that omfg.
Lavender Tears (Series) by dreamsoflovingness
Another series, fourteen parts and complete! Once more featuring Todoroki but not Eri. I love this one so much I can't pick a favorite. My favorite part of this series is seeing the boy's relationships develop over the course of it. Especially how the author writes Bakugou suddenly being someone's brother.
a mix of six (Series) by Argentina
I'm obsessed with this authors mind. Y'all not only is this series twenty-seven parts, it includes Todoroki and Eri! I love the episodic style of these and OUGH there is just something about these kids developing the instinct to protect one another that gets me. There's one where Eri puts glitter in their hair and the next day at school the three of them are bragging about how cool their little sister is and I fucking can't. I love it.
Bonus Round: Some fics that don't technically fit the prompt but I hold so dear to my heart.
baby steps. by nitroglycerin_and_paraffin
Included because it involves Aizawa getting Bakugou out of his house. I fucking love this one. The way the author slowly gives you more information about why Aizawa acts the way he does and the way he finds out about little tidbits of Class-A's relationship dynamics I'm soooo normal about it. Also I LOVE the back-and-forth dialogue I'm eating that shit up.
Best Jeanist Acquires A Son (Series) by Sif
OH THESE ONES. Bakugou gets out of his house but it's Jeanist that takes him in! I love how the author developed Bakugou and Jeanist and don't even get me started on the quirk meta they did for Bakugou it's the coolest shit ever.
That's my list, thank you so much for the ask :)
