Single Dad Present Mic scenario/headcanons

Gave him a daughter in this one! I named her Kaya because I got bored using “the child” or “his daughter” the whole time lol. #Kaya In The Skya

warnings: angst, loss of a spouse (no gender), eventual EraserMic, fluff because my boy deserves it, and kinda long!

🎙Present Mic would have loved his S/O so much for years and years and years if he was given the chance. They would probably be a hero too, but he's the kind of guy who would love just about anyone. Hero, civilian, quirk, quirkless, Mic believes in love above all else.

🎙But Mic is around heroes so much, he'd probably meet his S/O in the line of duty. They would hit it off quick and everyone would remember the two for having such an easy and passionate love for one another from the beginning.

🎙They were that couple that moved in with each other after only a few months dating, got engaged after six months, and married a year after meeting each other. They would adopt their daughter not long after that.

🎙Everything moved so naturally fast for them and Hizashi would thank his lucky stars for that later on.

🎙He would remember how normal the day had been when he found out he lost his spouse. They died as many heroes do; saving others. The news came to him after a long day of teaching followed by a visit to the radio station to plan an upcoming segment before going home to take over babysitting for his S/O. The tradeoff was short and Hizashi was barely awake when he kissed them goodbye for the night. He would rest and watch over the mostly sleeping 4-year-old, Kaya, while they went out for a patrol through their hero agency.

He would get the call in the early hours of the morning. He needed to go to the hospital quickly. It was bad. He didn’t want to bring Kaya, so he called the first person he thought of.

Shouta had been awake grading papers and almost didn’t answer his phone. It was the perfect time for Hizashi to need help home from the bar and he didn’t know if have the energy for that tonight. But he did answer. Like he always does. He knew immediately by the mere tone of his friend’s voice that something terrible was wrong. Hizashi sounded terrified and he needed Aizawa to watch his daughter for him. He had to go to the hospital. Hizashi didn’t have to explain much after that statement. It was every hero’s nightmare to have a loved one beyond their realm of saving, but unfortunately a common thing in their line of business. Aizawa agreed and Mic was at his apartment in no time and gone again in a flash. Shouta's goddaughter slept soundly through it all.

🎙Hizashi loss that night would destroy him. He’d need a lot of support from his friends and coworkers in the weeks following the incident.

🎙It was one of the few times anyone could really remember Hizashi going silent. He is usually so vocal about his feelings, but in this time of great emotion, words failed him.

When he could speak again, when he could function again, he found himself emotionlessly arranging the funeral and taking care of all the duties one must take care of when they lose a spouse. He took care of his daughter too, but it was done more upon instinct than anything really conscious. A hero’s funeral is one of the worst to deal with. It’s hard to deal with the rampage of emotions being projected onto you. You should honor the hero for their sacrifice, but you must deal with the fact that it was such an avoidable death. The media can swarm depending on the popularity of the hero. Present Mic got it bad. The couple had been very open about their marriage and always in the public eye, and the story of a hero becoming a widowed father was not one to pass up. Hizashi barely batted an eye at the attention. In fact, he barely reacted at all. How could he when he just lost everything? Nemuri and Aizawa stayed with him that night. Surprisingly, it was Aizawa who confronted him about his lack of emotion after the funeral. In a weird, alternate-dimension-type moment, it was Eraser’s turn for once to break Mic out of his shell.

“You know, it’s illogical to not feel something after this Yamada.“

Hizashi broke down and admitted he was hurting to his friends. He was terrified at raising Kaya alone. He was afraid of going back to work and having to deal with others again. His friends helped him through it all.

Nemuri and Aizawa took shifts being with Hizashi and helping him take care of Kaya after that. Aizawa took his role as a Godfather seriously. He had accepted years ago that he would never have children. This would be the closest he’d ever come to being a parent and a small part of him wanted to prove that he could be good at that.

Kaya was old enough to recognize the change in the household and had some trouble accepting her caretaker wasn’t retuning. Hizashi and her both attended therapy to get through this new shift in their life.

🎙 Hizashi took some time off, but went back to work quicker than most expected. Mic thrives when he’s with others and knew the only way he was going to find some semblance of normality again was by getting out there and talking again.

The main difference now was that he usually had his favorite listener with him. UA has an early education center and Kaya started coming to work with him. They would show up early everyday and Kaya would usually stick with Mic until he had to drop her off and go teach his classes. This meant she was a familiar face in the teacher’s lounge.

🎙Kaya liked to color during staff meetings. She liked to bring cookies for all the teachers. She would sometimes be tired in the earlier mornings and sleep in Aizawa's sleeping bag while everyone worked and planned for the day.

🎙She hung around Aizawa all the time. She was enamored with the quiet, dark-haired man who would take care of her and teach her things. She would sometimes nap with Eraser or be allowed to visit his class with her dad. She loved getting to see him and it became obvious to everyone that she saw him as a parent as much as she did her own father.

🎙One day Kaya woke up sick. She had a fever and Hizashi has to drag her through their morning routine as she feels so tired. Hizashi told her they would go see Recovery Girl when they got to school.

🎙Aizawa knew something was wrong the moment Hizashi walked into the teacher’s lounge.

Mic hadn’t gelled up his hair that morning. He only ever did that when either he was sick or Kaya was sick. Mic could never be bothered to do extra work like style his hair when he was sick. And when Kaya was under the weather, she liked to hide behind his curtain of hair.

“What’s wrong?”

The other teachers looked up in surprise at Aizawa’s question and Mic smiled at his coworkers.

“Kaya is feeling a little under the weather today.”

He went over to his work desk and carefully sat down with the child. Shouta reached over to check her temperature and found her too warm for comfort. Kaya had fallen asleep and blinked lazily at Aizawa before yawning and snuggling back into her father.

"Recovery girl will be in soon. Maybe we should go down to her office and wait for her," said Aizawa.

Hizashi would smile at his friend and thank his lucky stars he had someone like Eraser in his life who cared so much for his daughter.

🎙Aizawa was around a lot, but happened to miss the first time Kaya used her quirk.

Teleportation.

Hizashi and Kaya had been walking back from visiting Aizawa's class and one moment his daughter was there, the next she was gone.

It scared the living daylights out of Hizashi. He had an inkling it had to do with her quirk as Kaya's preschool teacher had warned him she was at the right age to start any day now. However, nothing could have prepared him.

He raced back to the training grounds to get Aizawa and burst in on his lesson to announce Kaya's disappearance. He had already been shouting from a good distance away and it wasn't until he was almost directly upon Aizawa did he realize his friend was already holding his daughter.

Aizawa stood there stoic as ever as the four-year-old beamed at her father, so excited to see him.

Hizashi dramatically fell over in relief and the students got in a quick laugh before Eraser shooed them off.

"You should keep better track of your daughter, Yamada."

Hizashi laughed, "Yeah, I guess I really should now."

🎙Kaya's quirk was hard to control. She would think about Aizawa or Midnight or someone else she liked being around and would often (without intention) teleport to their side.

One time she spent an afternoon with Principal Nedzu this way. She adored the fluffy, white creature and hung onto every word he said during his long, drawn out conversations. He was unbothered by her sudden appearance in his office and kept her around to give her some pointers about her quirk as apposed to sending her back to the preschool. He would prove to teach Kaya all kinds of things about her quirk and the potential behind it.

Another time she popped in on Toshinori as he was teaching class 1-A. They were in the middle of a training simulation and Toshi had to jump into action to save her from the crossfire between his students. He hadn't moved that quick in weeks and held his All Might form for a good 30 seconds after rescuing the girl as he had gotten terriblly worked up thinking about how much she could have hurt herself. His students stopped their antics to find out what had suddenly brought All Might's hero form out and sent someone to let Present Mic know Kaya was on the training grounds.

🎙Kaya had to wear a special bracelet to alert others of her quirk and had her father's agency's phone number on it for emergencies or in case she teleported somewhere and got lost.

🎙Kaya would learn to better control her teleportation quirk faster than most kids as she had some of the best teachers in the world giving her tips and watching over her.

🎙Aizawa was a big help. He rarely had to erase Kaya's quirk, but it did come in handy on the occasions Kaya couldn't concentrate enough to stay in one place.

🎙Kaya spent all her time with the teachers of UA. They all took it upon themselves to teach her valuable lessons and give her memorable experiences.

🎙People would ask Hizashi if he would ever start dating again, but he would just tell people he already had everything he needed.

He had his daughter and an amazing support system behind him. He was happy.

It wasn't until USJ that he remembered how quick happiness can be taken away.

🎙It felt like losing his spouse all over again. He almost lost Shouta. The one person he can rely on no matter what.

It reminds him that there's no time like the present to live your life and take chances.

🎙He confesses in that hospital room. In a moment of quiet tenderness he tells Shouta he's in love with him and he wants him to move in with him and Kaya. This life could end at any moment, so he wanted Aizawa close to cherish every bit of it.

Aizawa was going to need the extra help anyway, but that's not why he agrees.

He loved Hizashi too.

🎙And together they raise Kaya. And Eri. And Shinsou.

And they both get the big family they always wanted.

And they both enjoy every last day with eachother.

OK, January 4

You can buy a copy of this issue for your very own at my eBay store: https://www.ebay.com/str/bradentonbooks

Cover: Ashton Kutcher haunted by his mistakes

Page 2: Contents

Page 4: Jennifer Garner ready for romance -- Jennifer has proven she’s fine on her own but she’s eager for her happy ending and has even set her sights on some of Hollywood’s most eligible hunks like Chris Evans but seems happily single; she binge-watched Outlander and was totally taken with Sam Heughan and she also finds Martin Henderson very sexy but heard he has a girlfriend

Page 6: After a tumultuous few years Hayden Panettiere’s 2021 is looking bright and she’s been working on herself since her split from toxic ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson -- she’s taken control of her life and is making good choices -- she’s been able to rebuild her life and her relationship with her daughter Kaya who lives in Ukraine with her dad and next on her agenda is reviving her once-hot career

* Jessica Simpson has signed deals for both a docuseries and a fictionalized series based on her life but not everyone is so pumped about her tell-all tendencies and least of all is her ex-husband Nick Lachey -- for Nick it’s just dredging up a past that’s better left alone and Nick hopes that Jessica goes easy on him in the scripted series but deep down knows there’s precious little chance of that

Page 8: Jason Aldean who boasts an $80 million fortune loves splashing his cash around especially when it comes to his children -- the singer who shares son Memphis and daughter Navy with wife Brittany and girls Kendyl and Keeley with his ex likes being seen as the moneybags and leaves tough love to the kids’ moms and he’s always pulling out $100 bills for his teens and buying his little ones new clothes, toys and high-tech gadgets even though they’re so young -- he’s definitely spoiling the kids but nobody complains about it so he just keeps on buying them stuff because nothing makes him happier

* The milestone 6-0 is still months away but George Clooney is planning to do some serious partying for his birthday and he’s sparing no expense -- he’s looking at celebrations across the States and Europe plus a boys-only getaway to Mexico

* Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence are having a blast filming their first movie together so much so that tongues are wagging about the pair’s fiery chemistry on the set -- even though Leo and Jen behave like total pros when the cameras aren’t rolling there’s a running joke among the cast and crew that Jen’s marriage to Cooke Maroney could be in trouble -- of course the reality is that Jen is crazy about her husband and Leo who is dating model Camila Morrone has a strict rule never to get involved with costars but still there’s an attraction that can’t be denied

Page 10: Red Hot on the Red Carpet -- stars get glamorous in glitzy looks -- Alexa Chung, Tiffany Haddish

Page 29: Emily Blunt and John Krasinski might be ready for baby No. 3 but friends are encouraging them to get their marriage on track first -- the two have had a tough couple of years and John can be hard to deal with and cranky when he’s working -- while the duo tend to put a super-positive spin on their marriage in public not everyone is convinced things are so rosy at home but Emily wants another child and so does John so they’re willing to take the risk

* Meghan Markle and Prince Harry plan to kick off 2021 with a much-needed tropical vacation -- after an emotionally turbulent year Meghan and Harry are ready for this break -- following a quiet Christmas at home the couple is looking forward to relaxing on a warm beach somewhere, sleeping in, soaking up nature’s beauty and reconnecting as a couple -- they’re considering a private island in Hawaii or off the coast of Fiji

Page 30: Taylor Swift who’s been collecting bridal magazines and wedding ideas since she was a teen will have to adjust to the idea of a small sequestered affair when her boyfriend Joe Alwyn officially pops the question -- the once-outgoing singer has turned into a hermit since hooking up with the British actor who insists on total privacy and loathes attention and now Tay’s inner circle is said to be worried that in Joe’s continued efforts to fly under the radar he’ll ultimately nix the lavish nuptials Taylor’s long envisioned

* Justin Timberlake and Olivia Wilde have a past -- dating briefly in 2011 and costarring in two films but they won’t have a future if Justin’s wife Jessica Biel has any say -- Justin is eager to work with newly single Olivia again but the collab between the old pals is a total no-no as far as Jess is concerned because she’s always seen Olivia as a threat and particularly now that she’s split from Jason Sudeikis

Happy birthday!!! Got any birthday headcanons for z nation? (character's b days, how/if they'd celebrate on the road?) (I've had an idea for a while about 10k and Addy getting up to mischief trying to have a party or something and they try to make a cake out of an expired box mix but end up just eating the batter together asdjhsdh)

Thank you!!!

Okay, first of all, that is the cutest fucking thing I've ever read and I'm living for the idea of Addy and 10K trying to bake and then just eating the batter. They are disaster siblings and I love them -- and they would 100% do that.

Second, okay, let's see, well, we know from his "Certified Alive" Newmerica paperwork that 10K was born on July 4th; which is just so fitting for him and I love that.

As for the others, I think Doc is probably a winter birthday (thinking December?), Addy gives me April birthday vibes (no idea why), Warren feels like a September birthday, Murphy is November. As for other secondary characters: Red is either October or August - I genuinely can't decide, Sarge is March, George is June. I'm not sure about CZ or Kaya; and I'm open to suggestions on literally any of the characters birthdays that I headcanoned.

As for celebrating; I feel like 10K probably never did much for his birthday growing up. Like there was probably the birthday his dad first took him hunting, and that was the only like celebration birthday he ever had. Otherwise it wasn't a big deal. His dad wasn't the type to bake a cake and sing to his son.

At some point the group are stopped for the night after setting up camp, and somehow birthdays come up. The others talk about their favorite birthday party growing up and 10K's just like, "....Why would you do that? It's just the day you were born, it's not that big a deal?"

Addy's like, "...Because it's fun. Did you seriously never have a birthday party?"

"When I was twelve my dad took me hunting for the first time."

Doc and Addy exchange a look and then Doc looks back at 10K and says, "...Kid, when's your birthday?"

"July."

"I think that's the month we're in now. It's summer for sure. Happy birthday, kid!"

"Uh... Thanks." 10K is still completely confused as to why Doc and Addy are making a big deal out of this. Birthdays were just the day you were born. Why shouldn't it be like every other day?

Doc and Addy come up with a plan because damnit, that boy is getting a birthday party even if it is the apocalypse and he doesn't actually care about his birthday.

This is where your headcanon of Addy and 10K eating expired cake mix comes into play.

The group comes across a small town and a drug/convenience store, which they decide to check out to see if there's any supplies left over -- it's 4yrs into the apocalypse, but you never know.

While looking through the shelves, Addy finds a box of old, two years out of date, birthday cake mix. (it literally says "birthday cake mix" on it). She calls 10K over, and is all excited, "We're gonna make this for your birthday!"

"I don't even know if it's actually my birthday."

"Exactly. It's the apocalypse. Every day can be your birthday! ...Plus don't you think it'd be fun to make Murphy sing to you?"

That last bit is what wins him over and he's like, "...Yeah, okay, fine. How do we make it?"

They look at the directions. They have literally none of the ingredients except for water because, y'know, apocalypse. They also don't have an oven or pans. They mix in water (directly into the bag of mix because they don't have a bowl) and Addy comes up with the idea to take a hubcap off of the car and try using that as a pan. It is a disaster. A very messy disaster. After about an hour of messing around with it, and amusing 10K to no end because this just proves his point that birthdays are unnecessary, she decides to give up on baking it.

She grabs a twig from the ground, lights one end on fire, sticks it in the batter like a candle, and makes the group sing 'happy birthday' and tells 10K to blow out the 'candle' and make a wish. Which he does.

Then she says "We're just gonna eat it like this because I can't bake in the apocalypse."

The two of them stay up most of the night in the bed of the truck when everybody else falls asleep, and 10K admits that, while totally useless and unnecessary, maybe birthday parties were fun after all.

....Sorry, that ended up being super long. 😂 I just have a lot of feelings about those two being found family siblings in the apocalypse. I hope you like it!! Feel free to send me more asks about ZN stuff any time! I love talking about it.

#oh my god im gonna end up writing a fic about this arent i #z nation asks #z nation #tommy 10k #addy carver #apocalypse siblings

Z Nation re-watch: 3x03 The One With the Postman

I have to admit that I don't remember individually a lot of what happens in each episode. The season feels much more continuous and specific episode titles don't pop as much for me. For example this one - "Murphy's Miracle." I can't remember what this episode is about, although I think he gets to the water place in Spokane with his new lieutenant guy and his family. Let's find out.

Murphy being as charming as ever here when he encounters the ‘road hogs.’ Heh.

That little girl has to be...what, 5 at the most? She had to have been just a baby when the zompacalypse started. Amazing she's lived as long as she has.

Addy is really enjoying her new z whacker.

Oh it's the mailman episode! Huh.

Maybe my favorite line in the show is in this episode: "These walkers are too slow to be any real threat. You'd have to be an idiot to get killed by them." dyyyyyyyyyyying at The Walking Dead shade.

Kaya trying to motivate Citizen Z is so cute.

Nana is GREAT.

I love that they actually are IN Spokane in the show universe this season, and not just filming there.

Just gonna leave this cap here for admiration purposes.

Addy: "You're aware that your friends and neighbors want to eat your brains, right?" Postal guy: "They can't help it. It's their nature."

This is funny! And also lays the groundwork for themes the show has continued to explore and expand on in season 3 and 4, of the zombies having their own kind of agency and personality. Lucy especially does this as she befriends so many zombies. I mean look at how 'Grandpa' helps out Doc and Addy at the end of the season. It's a really interesting path they've gone down and it feels purposeful, like it's been laid out since at least season 2 when Murphy felt badly every time they destroyed the zombies. I suspect season 5 will come to terms with this.

He's been living off of the Christmas packages, which again places the timeline of when the infection really happened.

Murphy sure has a lot of ties to and memories of Spokane. I wonder if he's from there.

So the blends do have their own willpower still, it's mostly that Murphy can just overwhelm it if wants to.

Sun Mei: "Their behavior is just a parasitic reaction to stimuli." Postman: "That's where you're wrong."

Sun Mei is not having this 'don't kill them' garbage and tbh I don't blame her.

Some fighting here between Addy and Sun Mei, both trying to be in charge and do what they think is right.

Citizen Z goes in for the kiss but some very sad, but lovely music interrupts. He and Kaya settle for a hug instead.

The music has thrown Sun Mei. It means her mission has been aborted and everyone is dead. (Doc, btw, recognizes the song as "I Have Become Lost To The World." Hee.)

The z's focus on the postman exclusively, even when he DOESN'T have food.

Murphy really enjoyed this Expo of 74, huh?

Murphy: "And this shall be my throne room." No delusions of grandeur here, no sirree.

Murphy is really fucking with 10k's mind here and it's upsetting. He's gone from just being a lovable asshole to being a malicious asshole.

I like that they really did use just the lantern & flashlights to light these scenes. Ups the atmosphere.

Hector freaks out on a zombie and kills it with the Cancelled stamp. Heh.

The citizens were mostly shot in the heart, which means the fake postman guy killed a TON of people.

Oh well he WAS a postman. Just not the postmaster. And he killed every single person. Disgusting.

Hector: "You killed short pants?" Sun Mei: "Not precisely. But he will be spending much more quality time with his friends & neighbors."

Nana and Pup, living the dream.

Sun Mei: "Zombies don't have a soul." Warren: "Then why do we give them mercy?"

The fundamental question of the show, and a very, very interesting one.

Like a painting.

Murphy is making 10k sweep. That boy is gonna shoot you, Murphy.

This is so interesting, them wanting Murphy to bite them because the little girl is both healed and - the most important point, which Murphy recognizes - she's not afraid. Everyone on this show has lived in terror for years, it's become a natural part of their day, the underlying momentum behind every breath they take. And Murphy's bite frees them. They don't recognize how it yokes them to him in exchange, but honestly think about that: that may not be the worst compromise. I love this storyline a LOT. It's such a good extrapolation of how people might respond.

Sundance 2019: 20 Films We Can’t Wait to See in Park City

The Sundance Film Festival is starting tomorrow, January 24th, and promises 11 days of cinematic discovery.
