Patterns??

seika my sweetheart <3

I definitely would love to hear more details about all your spinoffs, especially that katsucrew vigilante one!!

Awe, Anon, you’re so kind! Okay, so since you specifically asked for the Vigilante AU, I’m going to expand most on that one, if that’s cool with you!! <33

So, I’ve talked about this AU like, once or twice on Bunny’s server, and it actually originally started as just an idea for Kariage to be a vigilante, but the longer I thought about it, the more possibilities arose. Thus, Vigilante Katsucrew was born.

Hifue is behind-the-scenes, the one who determines and locates targets; obtains and organizes information gathered from police reports, kariage’s info brokering, and the Hero Network; and sets up patrol routes and times for the Katsucrew so they can cover as much of Musutafu as they can. Mito is their support: she designs and builds gear, tools, and weapons from scrap material she secretly collects from the Support classes. She’s also acts as a briefer and runs interference when one of the crew needs to pull away from a situation or needs backup.

The both of them still attend UA, and keep their vigilante work on the downlow to keep from being caught.

Seika is the only one between Kariage, Henshuu, and herself that still goes to Moushou Academy. As a result, her patrols are closer to home and last a shorter amount of time than the others’ do. To make up for this, she does a lot of research and investigative work in her spare time, helping to tracks down villains with Hifue and looking for loopholes in Hero law that’d keep her friends safe.

Yasushi, while he doesn’t necessarily do vigilante work, mentions a lot of what he hears on the streets and in the places he works to the crew. He also helps coordinate patrol routes when he knows certain people (targets) are going to be at a specific place. He’s also the one to check in with the crew alongside Seika to make sure they’re not overworking themselves.

Kariage and Henshuu are the ones most involved in hands-on vigilante work. Kariage prefers to work in the shadows, gathering information by spying, bartering, and blackmailing; sneaking around villain and criminal hotspots to scope out targets; and building up connections and collecting favors that’d help the crew in the long run.

In contrast, Henshuu is their most out-there member. She acts as the bruiser of the group, and her patrols are often dangerous, which is why Kariage sometimes joins her. On her patrols, she does what her unofficial role implies, and has a reputation of beating up murderers, abusers, pedophiles and assaulters before dropping them off in front of police stations.

All in all, the group is doing so much good. People hail them as heroes, and refuse to give information to detectives because what’re the police going to do? Arrest the entire population of Musutafu? Fat chance. And, the funny thing is, they think they’re being so secretive, but Katsuki 100% knows what his crew of dumbasses are up to. And, hey, if he purposefully drops little bits of info here and there, things he’s heard in passing and knows would help his band of idiots, then no one has to know.

Eventually, it all comes to a head when Katsuki invites Kariage and the Katsucrew to the dorms to hang out. Aizawa, being one of the few to know the faces of three of the crew (Smoke Screen, Kadou, Transient) is immediately on guard. However, as time goes on and he sees Katsuki be so happy, he puts aside his worries. After all, if these kids (God, they’re so young) can make Katsuki act like an actual teenager, make him smile and laugh without reservations, then how bad can they truly be?

He doesn’t mention the kids at the next meeting about Musutafu’s own vigilantes.

-

As for the other AUs, they’re a bit less detailed! The fantasy AU is a oneshot I’m hoping to finish by next week as somewhat of a test drive to practice writing the crew.

The Cop Kariage AU is, personally, one of the ones I’m looking forward to writing the most. It’s a future fic set in Katsuki’s third year at UA with him and detective-in-training Kariage meeting in the middle of a crime scene. And, honestly? It features Katsuki being the Gay Disaster he is at heart, so if you wanna ask for more info about this one, please do, because I can and will scream about this idea for hours on end <33

♡ KariBaku Discord Server!! ♡

Hey, you guys!! Just a little announcement to everyone: @arschemy, @pichu-perfect, @radrosesxx, Theo, and I created a KariBaku Discord Server!! If you wanna join, please do, we’d love to see you there!! <33

https://discord.gg/gUZafvz

WOW, so I finally got around to rereading this and lemme tell you,, it is just as painful as the first time you talked about this concept on Discord. Like?? Wow, Gab, really tearing my heart to shreds here.

ANYways, yeah this is just?? So supremely sad, to be honest. There’s just something so depressing about reading stories and concepts where characters dying preventable deaths, and all I can think of is the build up to this, you know? How many times Katsuki must’ve asked, told, pleaded for Kari to give up his habit, only to have Kari laugh and tell him it’s not that serious as he lights up another cigarette, as his voice gets deep and scratchy, as he gains a cough that never really goes away, until he can barely breathe after a few steps and can’t laugh unless he wants to pass out.

Then, Kari gets the diagnosis and there’s,, there’s nothing they can do. No medicine is working, it’s too far along, they’re not given hope - they’re given a time limit. Maybe Katsuki’s mad, at first. After all, he told Kari time after time after time, looking out the corner of his eye as Kari smoked, breath raspy and fingers shaking: That’s gonna be the death of you.

He wished he wasn’t right, for once in his fucking life.

Kari dies and takes some part of Katsuki with him, some integral, important part of Katsuki that lets him feel, lets him live. It’s buried alongside Kari in a casket that won’t ever open, and Katsuki maybe feels a little like he, too, died.

But his heart still beats and his lungs still breathe and his stomach still grumbles, and Katsuki feels like his body has betrayed him. Because how can he still be alive, when the one person who actually saw him is gone, buried six feet under, never to be seen again, never to laugh or cry or love again?

Katsuki’s alive, but it doesn’t feel like it. Not when the colors he sees are dull, and he feels rooted to solid ground. Even when he becomes the Number One Hero, people cheering out all around him, he can’t muster up a smile, can barely mutter through a scripted speech before he’s beating it. He sits a home, dressed in his half-done up Hero Costume, and thinks about how he’d give it all up for Kari. He’d stop being a Hero, leave the people who call themselves his friends and family, shed his name and every aspect of his identity just to have a chance to talk to Kari even once.

But the real world doesn’t work that way, and he wakes the next day and continues the constant cycle of sorrow.

Anyways, yeah this broke my heart, hehe </3

BAKUGOU HEADCANON 27

[ original content, do NOT steal, i will write this ]

Kariage dies from lung cancer due to his smoking habits during Bakugou’s 2nd year and fuck, Bakugou knew this was coming, knew that it’ll be sooner that later but he still can’t wrap his mind around loosing one of the people that cared about him. (Bakugou cares about a lot of people, though they seldom care about him too).

Sometimes when he sees a cigarette bud on the street, he can’t help think about how they’re the reason he lost the one person in his life he truly loved. When he smells smoke, they bring tears in his eyes and his throat instantly gets tight because it smells so much like Kariage, it’s like he’s there beside him again. But that’s just it right? That smoke is the reason he’s gone. Funny how that works.

He can’t bring himself to wear the color black anymore because it reminded him of their high school sweetheart days and suddenly he feels numb, feels nothing because the love of his life isn’t there to watch him grow as a hero and as a person (like Kariage said he would). Can’t bring himself to sneak out of U.A. no matter how much he wants to because that used to be their secret thing. When he becomes number one hero, sure he’s proud he’s made it, he worked and bled for this. But the one person that supported him since day one wasn’t there to watch the stars with him until sunrise that night. He thought the day he’ll reach number one will be the best day of his life, but it’s not. Not without him, the only person that mattered. He realizes after everything that his greatest goal in life wasn’t victory, because he was already a winner with Kariage. 

And now he isn’t.

PICHUUUUU my beloved!!! 🥺👉👈 Darling how do u have the capacity for such sheer kindness and adoration i am. 😭💞💞💞 the amount of joy u bring me. simply insurmountable

love u guys

KARIBAKUYASUUUUU!!!

Hi, yes, I freaking adore poly KariBakuYasu. They’re just so cute together!! Just, boys being boys, all cute and I love them so much. Kariage and Yasushi making a pact to not try and take Katsuki from the other?? The two bonding so much over that and spending more together that they start developing feeling for each other?? Them kissing and immediately being so fucking awkward about it?? I love it, it’s beautiful and perfect.

Katsuki knowing that some shit’s clearly up, so he sits the boys down so they could talk?? The casual affection and cuddling?? Kari and Yasu being all shy as they admit to kissing and liking Katsuki?? Them being so shocked that Katsuki likes them back because they’re just dumb boys?? I’d wholeheartedly die for them. Like, they’re just so freaking oblivious??

And, lastly, just?? Katsuki being all shy because he’s unsure if he read the room right, them going back to playing video games after finalizing their relationship status because it’s just so normal, them being happy boys?? I wouldn’t change a thing. This was so wonderful and I had the biggest smile on my face as I read this, it was just that freaking cute.

Also, yaOI HANDS!!?!?!?!?!!!? 🤣🤣🤣

📂

i’m in a kariage/katsuki/yasushi mood so 👁👁👁👁

after the sludge villain incident, they both realize their feelings for katsuki, because he could’ve died. they could’ve lost him.

yasu goes to kariage and tells him that he thinks he likes katsuki. kariage also tells him he likes katsuki. they make a “truce” that they won’t try and “steal” him away from the other.

they start to hang out more, just the two of them, and soon develop feelings for each other too.

one night, they’re goofing around together at kariage’s house, both tipsy. kariage just looked at yasu who laughing his ass off at something. and in that moment kariage found him so pretty. he leaned over and kissed him. yasushi kissed him back.

when they both realized what they just did, they jumped away from each other.

“what the hell was that for?” yasu yelled.

“i don’t know! i looked at you and suddenly we were kissing!” kari hissed at him.

“what about katsuki, huh? we both like him.” yasu asked him.

“apparently we both like each other too!” kariage’s bluntness shut the both of them up immediately, both turning their heads away from each other, face burning.

“....what are we gonna do?” yasu asked after a few moments of awkward silence.

kariage sighed. “i have no idea.”

after that night, things got awkward between them. katsuki could tell something was up, and frankly was sick of the tenseness between them. so he decided to intervene.

“what the fuck is up with you two?” katsuki bluntly asked them, one day while they were all hanging out at katsuki’s house. “did something happen? you two are barely speaking to each other.”

kariage and yasushi’s eyes both widened and the looked at each other before quickly looking away again. “i have no idea what you’re talking about.” yasu said, staring at the game controller in his hand.

“bullshit.” katsuki says. he stands up and takes the controller out of his friends hands. “you two are talking this shit out right now or i swear to god-“

he plops down right onto kariage’s lap and grabs yasushi, dragging his head onto his own lap. “now talk. i’m staying here until you solve your bullshit.”

his two friends faces were as red as can be, yasu trying to bury his face into katsuki’s thighs while kariage did the same with his back.

katsuki let out a sigh, and brought his hand up to run it through yasushi’s hair. “.... we kissed.” kariage’s muffled voice came from behind.

katsuki froze. “was it consensual?” yasu and kari both nodded. “then why is it such a big deal? you two like each other right?” he felt another nod come from the two of them. “then just go out!”

“it’s not that easy.” yasu mumbled. katsuki looked down at his friend, who’s face was still hidden. “why? why is not that easy?”

“....because we like you too.”

everyone stopped. suddenly a burst of laughter came from the blonde. “that’s it? that’s what got you two all freaked out? jesus! you act like two middle school girls!” he said between laughs and giggles. “i like you too dumbasses.” he smiled at his two friends.

yasushi and kariage whipped their heads up to look at the blonde. “seriously?”

“i don’t say shit i don’t mean! of course i like you idiots! you think i’d do this shit with just anyone?” katsuki raised his eyebrows at them, gesturing to the obvious cuddling going on.

kariage and yasushi’s faces became bright red, while simultaneously looking a little constipated. katsuki started laughing at them again. “you two are so stupid oh my god!” he turned and kissed kariage’s cheek, then leaning down kissing yasushi’s cheek too before getting up off of them.

kariage made a strangled noise in the back of his throat while yasushi fell back onto the floor, looking like his brain was reloading.

“up and at ‘em idiots! i’m gonna beat your asses in some mario kart right now.” he tossed the controllers back over to where they sat.

wait, he’s gonna move on? just like that?, kariage thought to himself. “wait! what about us? are we all dating each other now?” kariage called, looking up at the bed where katsuki sat.

“obviously.” he snorted. “...unless, you’re uncomfortable with that and i read the situation wrong.” his cheeks pinkened and he looked down at the bed, playing with his fingers.

“no!” yasushi yelled. immediately getting embarrassed, he tried to cover up his eagerness with a cough. “i mean... no. you didnt read the situation wrong. i’m okay with us all dating.” he looked at kariage, who just hummed in agreement.

katsuki bit the insides of his cheeks to conceal his smile and looked back up at them. “good. now get your asses up here! i’m gonna demolish you.” he swung his own game controller in front of them.

kariage snorted. “not if i beat you first!” he jumped up onto the bed, lightly elbowing his boyfriend. holy shit. they’re boyfriends. he has two boyfriends.

“id like to see you try!” katsuki elbowed him back.

“10 dollars that kat wins.” yasushi calls, slowly making his way on the bed.

kariage gave an overdramatic gasp, looking completely offended. “excuse you! i’m great at mario kart!”

“kari, babe, i love you, but you’re absolutely atrocious at mario kart.” yasu pats his boyfriends head.

katsuki snorts. “yaoi hands is right! you suck!”

yasushi squawked at hearing that new nickname. “YAOI HANDS?!?!?!?”

kariage burst into laughter. “YAOI HANDS- THATS THE BEST ONE IVE HEARD SO FAR! KATSU YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS!” he leaned over and kissed his temple.

katsuki turned red and giggled, while yasu sulked. “we’ve been dating for 5 minutes and you two are already ganging up on me.” he turned his back on his boyfriends, fake pouting.

katsuki grabbed the back of yasushi’s shirt, pulling him backwards, causing him to land right back into katsuki’s lap. “aww boo hoo.” he jokingly mocked, leaning down and kissing his forehead.

and that’s how the night went on. the three of them having fun, being teenagers, and finally together. katsuki is so happy. they’re all so, so happy. and they wouldn’t change a thing in the world

Bad kids

Nnnnnnn, I’ve thought so much on how Aizawa would react to Kariage dating Katsuki, and I’ve got a general idea outlined for the official ‘verse, but goddamn, I love the idea of Kariage and Aizawa despising each other.

Like, Aizawa’s just over here trying to protect his pseudo son and keep him away from bad influences that could corrupt him. Then, along comes this delinquent, embodying everything that could hurt Katsuki in the long run, and Aizawa’s on edge, immediately. So, obviously, he decides to make it known to this two-bit thug that Aizawa will ruin his life if he so much as thinks about hurting Katsuki.

On Kariage’s end, I love the idea of him liking that Katsuki has people who love and support and care about him, but, God. Would it kill people to look past appearances and actually understand that Kariage would never hurt Katsuki? And, like, that frustration and annoyance and pettiness just keeps on building up, so when someone important to Katsuki finally speaks up about his concerns, it boils over.

And, I freaking adore how casual and shameless Kariage is - even though he knows he should really be respectful - spouting innuendos when Aizawa’s just over here trying to give a shovel talk asdfghjkl <33

i like the idea of kariage intentionally antagonizing aizawa because he’s so protective of katsuki

like aizawa giving him the shovel talk and kariage just mercilessly making innuendos about katsuki just to set aizawa off

askdsdkaj YES!

Kariage finds it both amusing and only a tiny bit insulting. He’s happy that Katsuki has someone that cares about him so much, he is, but he can’t help but find Aizawa’s threats and speeches absolutely hilarious. But at the same time he just wants to tell him to fuck off cause he wouldn’t dare hurt Katsuki, he would never, so why the fuck is this old man bothering him so much? Thinking that Kariage would actually do anything to upset Katsuki? Ridiculous.

But then Aizawa comes up to him and goes on a rant, “I swear to fucking God, if you step out of line I will not hesitate to punch you. I’m an underground hero, I’m good at hiding my tracks, no one would even know. You better take care of him.”

And Kariage knows he should be polite, he knows he should say something like ‘Of course, Aizawa Sensei, I will protect him with my life,’ but what comes out instead is “Oh, don’t worry,” he smirks and leans in closer, “I’ll take very, very good care of him.”
