#AFO accidentally becomes an antihero and he's mad about it

Fic Prompts: Free Day Thursday

(Another Everybody Lives au idea, in bulletpoint form)

• All for One starts missing his brother more than he'd thought. The longer he lives, the more hollow his achievements start to feel. Without realizing it, he begins to act a little like his brother here and there in an attempt to keep the memories alive.

• you'd never call him a hero in the traditional sense. But after a hundred years give or take, he behaves like a Time Lord. One of the crabby incarnations of the Doctor, maybe.

• AFO (who changes names like the seasons and is currently calling himself The Professor) develops an obsession with keeping his little brother's quirk "in the family". Which eventually involved a somewhat ludicrous and yet successful plot to marry his sixth-youngest son (he's had ten of them over the years) off to the seventh wielder of One for All. Even though he knows he Will Not get along with his new daughter-in-law.

• it is necessary to point out that he and Nana had already tried to kill each other at least once before AFO hit upon the idea of arranging for Nana to rescue Kosuke. He knows darn well that Kosuke is going to develop a Crush. Somehow, he thinks he's being subtle by telling Nana to stay away from his son. And yet he pays for the entire wedding.

• Nana and AFO still fight like cats and dogs, primarily because AFO is still committing crimes of a bizarre and dubiously prosecutable nature. But once Nana has Kotarou, they tone down the fights for the kid's sake. AFO really only makes sporadic appearances, usually, in his dozen or more grandchildren's lives, but it's usually entertaining and probably not entirely legal when he does.

• Basically he's what happens if Loki ever became a grandpa.

• Nana Shimura's husband/AFO's son works on a military base as a sort of Coulson type character. He uses his father's vast amounts of information to help fight the Quirk Liberation Army, who are A Big Big Problem.

• Kotarou ends up playing with the children of his dad's fellow agents, including a little boy without a quirk who wants to be a hero regardless. When Destro kills Agent Yagi and his wife during a raid, Nana and Kosuke end up offering to foster their orphaned son, Toshinori.

• Toshinori and Kotarou are raised as brothers, and when Nana chooses Toshinori as her successor, AFO/"The Professor" starts pondering the possibility of making a little dynasty out of their two quirks. After they deal with Destro, of course. He can hardly expect to train his grandsons properly if it's not even safe for them to play outside, right?

• AFO has gotten very good at rationalizing his more heroic acts.

• All Might becomes the Symbol of Peace, and Kotarou Shimura becomes a top agent in the same SHIELD style organization as his father. Nana is able to retire and enjoy her grandchildren, but she has a hard time staying retired. Yet another thing she and her father-in-law squabble about.

• When AFO learns that Toshinori has chosen a quirkless middle schooler as his successor, he instantly starts scheming again. He passes an element of his own quirk to his great-grandson, Tenko, as a way to control his rather destructive mutation of his mother's quirk. And then he starts trying to set up at least a camaraderie between Tenko and Izuku.

• Tenko is 18, and he has his own friends. He doesn't particularly care for Great-Grandpa asking him to take the Midoriya squirt along with him.

• when AFO finds out that Midoriya's mother is single and kind of likes Toshinori, the scheming and finagling reaches new heights of Ridiculous. While fending off less than subtle hints about settling down with a nice widow with a middle school son lady, Toshinori ends up explaining the situation to Inko as "My great-grandfather is a menace to society."

• unfortunately for both of them, Gran Torino is Also a menace to society and an agent of chaos. He joins the matchmaking plot and peer pressures Kosuke into talking Nana into wing-manning for their boy. What with him being nervous about asking the lady out and all. Poor, shy Toshinori never had a chance.

• by the time he starts UA, Izuku has gained a dad, grandparents, weird older cousins, and an even weirder great-granddad who drops hints about making him a new Symbol to reorganize society.
