Last line tag!

Tagged by: @ren-shonen I swooned over your lines! I especially loved the bedspread imagery-- they're heroes but they're still so young, aren't they? Really pulls at the heartstrings... Okay, so the rules for this are: post the last sentence you wrote and tag as many people as there are words. And here's the one from last night!

It's fear.

...Kind of feels like cheating, doesn't it? So here are my two tags @myheartslikepaper @smallpinkbeetle bahahaha!! And now here's a bonus snip with some actual substance.

I hear my name called, feel fingers tilt my head up, watch as stadium lights smear across my vision. Then I’m peering into a set of concerned, inky black eyes--they belong to Tre--and reality restores itself.

Thanks for the tag! This is fun. Can't wait to see what others are working on!

Final chapter of I’m not boring is out! Bummed that this one is done but also, yay! This is the college AU with cranky baseball coach Katsuki and dorky college professor Izuku. Incredibly self indulgent smut hahaha

domesticity, pro heroes, bk & dk trying to remain anon and it does not go well, fluff 

There’s an unusual buzz in the grocery store tonight. 

Typically, any kind of energy this late is unheard of. Most people just slog through their daily chore, too exhausted by the odd hour to notice much other than the food items in front of them. Katsuki is one of those people, drowsy and fatigued. But he’s also a pro hero, highly attuned to subtle shifts in the environment around him. It’s why he can anticipate villain attacks sometimes without even looking. It’s why, right now, he’s dragged out of his half-awake stupor, suddenly perking up.

Something is amiss. It’s like a hum of energy in the air—he can sense it but can’t nail down its source. It takes him a few minutes more than normal to place it. That fact alone puts him on edge. But when he realizes what’s happening, he switches to downright irritated.

“Honey, honey! You’ll never believe this!” A woman passes by him, whispering urgently to her boyfriend. “Hero Deku is shopping in the next aisle!”

“What? Really?? How do you know?”

“Yeah, how do you know?!” Katsuki demands, wheeling on them. His tone is far more annoyed than the other man’s, but not enough to scare the couple off.

“I saw his face!” she squeals, excitement making her eyes shine.

Katsuki slams the bag of rice noodles down into his basket, too loud for a sleepy grocery store. An aisle over, he hears a familiar voice squeak.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah!” she gushes. “He’s got those freckles and dimples and everything!”

Katsuki snaps, “What a dumbass!” and slams another bag on top of the first.

The couple blinks at him before slowly turning towards each other, choosing to ignore him simultaneously. They continue their hushed, lively exchange without Katsuki. But that’s fine by him, he’s got an idiot to strangle.

When he rounds the corner of the next aisle, his husband practically runs into him.

Crimson eyes glare at him, suspicious. “You were seen.”

Izuku goes to scratch his cheek but is blocked by his mask. He drops his hand to his side, clearing his throat nervously. “I was? That’s so strange, Kacchan!”

“I told you to keep a low profile.”

“I am!” The Number One hero insists. “Look! My disguise is still in place.”

He adjusts his ballcap, pulling it lower over his bright eyes. It partially covers his vibrant green hair too. Overall, it doesn’t do much to hide that unique color… except now that Izuku has cemented his place in the Top Ten, many people have dyed their own hair to imitate him. Everywhere Katsuki turns these days, he sees green. That alone shouldn’t be enough to give him away.

Katsuki narrows his eyes, noting the sweat beading on Izuku’s brow. They got off shift a while ago, and it’s not that hot out. He’s also shifting his gaze away from him, refusing to meet his eyes. If he was wearing a sign right now, it would flash ‘GUILTY.’

But, of what?

“Izuku—“ As he starts to interrogate him, the couple from before pops around the opposite corner, watching them curiously. He doesn’t want to attract their attention, so he waves Izuku away. “—go get the fish. I’ll meet you there.”

He waits until Izuku is around the corner before addressing the couple. “Not him,” he declares, watching their faces fall before he goes back to his own shopping.

Katsuki thought that would be the end of it. But then, a few minutes later, he hears another remark. This time it’s a worker, muttering under their breath. When he checks on Izuku, his husband shrugs sheepishly, but admits nothing.

When Katsuki’s picking out vegetables, he overhears an older lady chattering excitedly into her phone about Hero Deku. But the other hero just shakes his head in confusion when Katsuki corners him in the dairy section.

“They’re recognizing you somehow!” Katsuki hisses. He’s not opposed to fan interactions, but the hour is late and they’re both bone weary with exhaustion. All he wants to do right now is go home, slap together some stir-fry and call it a day.

…And his silly husband better not screw up their plans.

“I’m being careful!” Izuku squeaks. They’re close enough that Katsuki doesn’t miss the extra open and close of his jaw. Like he’s chewing something.

“What are you eating?”

“N-nothing!” Izuku turns bright red, backing up quickly. “I’m gonna go grab the frozen peas!”

He manages to stumble over a box of packaged chips, sending a few scattering down the aisle.

“Can you get those, Kacchan?!” he yelps, directing his request over his shoulder as he practically sprints away from Katsuki.

…this guy. Katsuki pinches his brow, managing to tamp down his knee jerk reaction to throw the nearest hard object at him. He could knock him down and interrogate him, forcing out whatever he’s trying to hide. But that will definitely draw unwanted attention. Besides, he can always just follow the dweeb.

He takes his time cleaning up and meandering to where Izuku is supposed to be, giving his idiot husband plenty of time to assume that he’s safe. Along the way, he eavesdrops on two more customers, both raving about spotting the green-haired hero.

He does so himself minutes later when he’s tailing him through the frozen food section.

“Sir, would you like a sample?” A blue-aproned worker asks him. She’s standing at the end of the aisle, behind her tray of warmed up pastries.

Katsuki watches in shock—a feeling that quickly morphs into outrage—as Izuku glances around, making sure the coast is clear. Then he lowers his mask and grins. “Sure!”

That idiot!!! is all Katsuki can think as he stomps angrily towards him. He’s absolutely going to throttle him!

“Ah! Kacchan!” Izuku yelps when he spots him. And then in a move that makes Katsuki’s eyes nearly bug out of his head, he stuffs whatever he’s holding into his mouth in one bite.

Katsuki is on him in an instant, practically wrestling him in the middle of the store. “What are you eating?!”

“No’ fing!”

He has to squeeze Izuku’s jaw to force his mouth open, much like he does to their puppy waiting for them at home. When he does, he instantly recognizes the sight and smell of crispy puff pastry and seared meat.

“You’re eating a CORN DOG?!”

Izuku swallows quickly as Katsuki releases him from the headlock. Their fight is far from over as he straightens up, fixing watery green eyes on him. It’s a below the belt hit—Katsuki is weak to that expression, and Izuku knows it.

“Kacchan!” he whines. “It was just one corn dog. A sample. How could I say no?”

“It’s horrible for you!” Katsuki counters. “Loaded with preservatives and carbs that you don’t need!”

Izuku’s plump bottom lip quivers. What a cheap ploy. “You never let me eat any of my favorite stuff.”

Katsuki’s heart feels like it’s been stabbed when Izuku looks at him like that. It rivals something Smol Might (their mixed breed puppy) might pull after he makes a mess on the carpet.

“That’s because it’s all bad for you,” Katsuki counters. But he’s not telling the entire truth.

The real reason is because he didn’t make it for Izuku—someone else did. The kitchen is Katsuki’s kingdom, and he wears his crown with pride. He shops, preps, cooks and plates every scrap of food that goes into Izuku’s mouth. He relishes in it, enjoying every moment. And not just because he loves to cook.

It’s because he loves Izuku unconditionally, and because he wants to take care of him for the rest of their lives.

Lives that’ll go without corn dogs, thank you very much.

“Pretty please, Kacchan?” Izuku begs. Katsuki grabs his husband’s mask where it’s dangling under his chin.

“No,” Katsuki tells him, much softer than before. The dumbass really can toy with his heartstrings when he tries.

Katsuki presses their lips together in an apologetic kiss. When he backs away, he tugs Izuku’s mask sharply, elastic band snapping it back into place.

“Aww…”

“Go grab some beef. We have what we need at home. I’ll make my own version,” Katsuki orders succinctly, compromising. If Izuku wants to eat junk, he can eat Katsuki’s healthier version of it.

“Yay!” Practically skipping away, Izuku drops the sad act, happiness restored.

When Katsuki passes by the sample lady as he follows the love of his life, she asks him, “Was that…? And you’re…?”

In exchange for her silence, he autographs the box of corn dogs. The things he does for Izuku…

Stuck in a holding pattern as far as that reposter goes (ao3 reporting feature is getting spammed still so it’s shut down for now). I’m frustrated and sad, but it’s not going to stop me from posting my other works. Mentally, not in a bright and happy place, but people who’d pull that kind of crap don’t care about anyone but themselves in any case. So… yeah, I’m just disappointed in people right now

in crushing news, someone reuploaded the servant in its entirety on ao3 under an orphan account. for those of you who don't know (and would like to) basically it was a long fic i wrote and published last year on ao3. viking au, historical, bkdk, slow burn, fantasy, etc. etc. The reason I took it down was because I was planning on reworking it (changing the characters mostly, not really any of the major plot points) and trying to turn it into an original novel. I literally put easily 400 hours into writing, editing, and brainstorming this story and I had thought to myself "this is it! finally, a story that you love and one that you can actually turn into a physical novel with your name on it!"

And I get that people were disappointed when I hid it on ao3. I was feeling pretty guilty about it, too, and I wished I could have gone back and never published it there in the first place. There were a lot of loose threads and I had gained a hardcore group of followers... I felt like I had let them all down. But I also wanted to try to turn it into something original. I felt like I owed it to myself, with how much effort I had poured into it. Now someone just uploaded the entire thing in one day. When I originally hid all my long fics (five in total-- the servant, the defender, precision, rhapsody and six months; the first four I actually plan on reworking, the last one I just don't think I'll touch again) it was because I'd heard some disturbing news about ai as it relates to publishers. Basically, a friend of mine who has family in the business said that publishers are extremely concerned about ai programs (chat gtp, for example) and are cracking down on plagiarism as a result. The last thing I wanted to have happen was to submit something to a publisher for consideration and for them to reject me because they fed it into some program and it came back as potential plagiarism. I don't know how common this is... I'm aware that there are other authors who have started on ao3 or continue to maintain an ao3. I was just nervous (and still am) at the time. Until I'm officially protected by a publisher, and I'm not just floating out here in this vast ocean by myself, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Long story short: finding the servant on ao3 has totally freaked me out. I'm an anxious bundle of nerves right now. I did submit a report to ao3, so hopefully they'll remove it soon. Just wanted to explain what was going on

Emotionally Constipated Kacchan vs Oblivious Deku, and the squads doing their best

[greyfrey3]

M'kay, final thing from me today! July is going to be a crazy month. I've got about 9 chapters/fics to post, just as many edits to make, and a few hush hush things I'm working on in secret (oh my, how mysterious). If you follow me on ao3, you can expect a bunch of emails coming with my name attached, especially in the latter half of the month.

What's coming: -Posting the (2) KrDk Zine Fics! -Posting a (5)-chaptered tddk fic for an event (it's done, just need to edit) -Posting a dkbk smutty one shot for that same event -Updating I'm not boring... that's right! Finally! Now if people could stop asking if i've abandoned it, that would be lovely! Once August hits, I'm back in hibernation for a bit to catch up on some other stuff, but then hopefully finishing up I'm not boring once and for all (?). Yes. For all. Done. Nothing extra. Nope. Definitely not a bonus chapter that I'm already planning. Definitely no more polls asking for what you all might like to see... *cough* okay. bye bye!
