They both look so offended, it’s great. The teams for this fight were so unbalanced from the beginning. It was doomed to end in disaster. 
Honestly, these two should have been the ones to get teamed up together again for the midterm since they both had difficulty with the concept of teamwork and each other at the time.

101 Open MHA Gen Prompts
I had a very long ask game where people gave me fake titles and I came up with fic ideas to go with them.  Multiple people asked to use some of them as prompts, and some of my friends have lately maligned the lack of gen prompts out there, so I decided to compile them all into a single post.  Almost all of these are gen, aka not shipping, but you can do what you want I’m not your boss.  Everything is free and open to use WITH CREDIT, so have fun with my word vomit.
