Ed Sheeran’s “i Don’t Care” Feels Like A Song That Fits Bakugou And Kariage Perfectly. Like,,,

[2/2 Continuation of THIS Post]

Now, while everything at the Sports Festival was happening, there were people at home watching the broadcasts. Watching Katsuki chained and muzzled to the podium, watching Mito chew out All MIght and Midnight, watching as the crowd devolved into shouts of “Let him go!”, watching as Katsuki was finally released and allowed to leave, watching as things were thrown from the stands, watching as the second and third placers reluctantly took their medals before hurriedly leaving the stadium.

There was the League of Villains, who watched as a child got chained up by so-called Paragons of Virtue. Who watched as no one did anything until another child spoke up. who watched a powerful child stumble away with fear and hurt in his eyes. Who watched as people still supported the Heroes and gave excuses.

They see Bakugou Katsuki, a future recruit.

But we aren’t focusing on the League of Villains. No, we are looking at the Katsucrew:

Seika, who stared at the TV screen with furrowed brows and teary-eyes, so confused, so heartbroken. Who picked up her phone and called up Mito to get the full story. Who cried when Katsuki told her that it was fine, he was acting up, he should’ve just accepted the medal.

Kariage, who threw a mug at the wall, uncaring of the broken shards and the fact that his mother screamed herself hoarse at him. Who picked up the phone when Seika called, in tears, and agreed to meeting up. Who grabbed Kanji and hauled ass to the crew’s meetup spot.

Henshuu, who sat in shock at the broadcast. Who tried so hard to keep from screaming in rage that she bit her lip bloody. Who threw her responsibilities at her older siblings just to sneak out the house and meet up with her friends.

Yasushi, who took his first ever day off of work just to make sure his friend was okay. Who grabbed Katsuki’s favorite snacks from his family’s konbini. Who snarked at a stranger on the train who claimed Katsuki would fit better as a villain.

The crew all gather at the Warehouse Roof by the time the sun is setting, Mito and Hifue arriving last with a quiet Katsuki. He beelines straight to Kariage, who holds the younger boy in a tight hug. One by one, the rest of the crew join in, Kanji curled in Katsuki’s arms as the kids comfort their friend.

“You did nothing wrong,” Seika whispers hoarsely.

“You didn’t deserve what they did,” Mito murmurs.

“Not your fault,” echo both Hifue and Yasushi.

“I’ll kick their asses, see if I care,” grumbles Henshuu.

“Shuu!” Seika scolds as Kanji giggles at the curse.

Katsuki snorts, smiling softly in the middle of the hug.

“We’re here for you, ‘Suki.” Kariage kisses the top of his head, tightening his arms around his smaller boyfriend. And, Katsuki doesn’t reply, but when he reaches for Kariage’s hand and squeezes three times, eyes shining with unshed tears, the crew all know their boy was gonna be okay.

“I love you too, baby,” Kariage whispers.

♡ Villain Kariage AU Pt. 2 ♡

Warning(s): Kidnapping, Emotional Manipulation, Non-con Drugging, Disassociation, Heavily Implied Physical Abuse, Dub-con Kissing and Non-sexual Touching, and, of course, Villain Kariage!!

Part [1], Part [2], Part [3], Part [4]

I’ve talked about this before on Bunny’s server even before I posted the art I did of Seika, but this is 100% her. Separately, each part of any of her outfits could be considered decent - pretty, even!! However, Seika can and will combine 300 different prints and patterns to create the ugliest fucking outfit ever and she’ll proudly wear it.

Mito adores her girlfriend’s ugly clothes and Kanji loves the bright colors and flower patterns. Kariage honestly finds her fashion sense hilarious, but Katsuki positively vibrates with lividity every time he has to see her eyesore outfits and would 100% set them on fire given the chance.

Honestly I love ironically ugly clothes. Like. Hideous in a special way. If it’s not inherently hideous I’ll match it until it is.

I just wanna thank you so much. Undercut-kun and the other childhood friends are so underrated because people don't realize it's beauty. Thank you for bringing awareness to this. I love you and your content.

AHH omg you’re so nice!! Yeah, honestly, this whole ‘verse just came about because I wanted Katsuki to have a childhood friend turned boyfriend in a story i was outlining, but Deku just wasn’t fitting in right, you know? And I remembered some of pyrrhicwildfire’s stuff on Twitter and I got curious. Before long, I was scouring everywhere I could for content, but I couldn’t find all that much!!

Then, when rewatching the first two episodes, I noticed some interesting character designs in Katsuki’s middle school class and thought that, if Katsuki could have a boyfriend from middle school, why not a bunch of friends?

Honestly, I’m just really excited to start writing the actual series, as I’m planning on (hopefully) having at least five stories for the official ‘verse with at least four spin-off AUs.

Also, I appreciate your love for this ‘verse!! It makes me happy that people enjoy my content that much <33

HITHER I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD A TUMBLR SHBJKAHBSKI <3

asdfghjkl!!!! PICHU <33 I barely made it a few days ago, but I was compiling the stuff I needed for the info post, so it took a while to post!!!

(KariBaku) After Class

Hey, you guys!! Please give this fic the love it deserves, because it is absolutely wonderful. I love how Lupita just so seamlessly wove an amazing story that lasts years in so few words, and made it mean so much?? It’s literal perfection and it needs to be shared with everyone because it made me smile so wide and tear up and the prose is chef’s kiss.

I did it.

Okay first of all ur headcannons r so good,, second of all u seem so sweet wtf be my friend,, third of all when I saw u mention writing a spinoff just yeesssssss!!!

!! AHH, Anon, you’re so kind to me <33 Of course I’ll be your friend!!

And, yes!! I’m actually planning several spinoffs and AUs of this ‘verse, but the main ones are a Fantasy AU oneshot, the Training of the Dead OVA spinoff AU, a vigilante Katsucrew AU, and a future fic where Kariage is a police officer. If you wanna know more about any of these in detail, please do ask about them - I love answering asks!! <33

after the sports festival how do you think the katsucrew would act towards the teachers at UA, especially all night and midnight, and the students, who stood by and did nothing even though they claimed to be katsuki’s friend???? (sorry but ur sports festival headcannon just hit me straight in the feels like sh*tttttt) (also I’m so happy I found ur tumblr ur undercut ‘verse seeems so interesting,, I love it!!!)

OMG you’re sweet!! Okay, so in the canon ‘verse, the crew doesn’t actually have much interaction with any of UA’s teachers except for Aizawa, which mostly happens post-kidnapping. However!! After the Sports Festival, the crew stops being so outwardly supportive of Heroes, the situation sinking in as a failure and mistake on the part of Heroes who refuse to make things right.

Both Kariage and Hifue never really went through a Hero worship phase, mostly because they’re both highly suspicious and untrusting of authority figures, so the rest of the Katsucrew already knows their stance on things. They both hate the Heroes from the Sports Festival, unwilling to forgive them even if an apology was issued.  Henshuu is mostly just severely disappointed in what the teachers did, not willing to let them off the hook even after Katsuki tells the crew that it’s fine.

Seika, on the other hand, always had the best idea of Heroes, believing they did their job to save and protect people. Post-Sports Festival, though, she begins to realize that her previous assessment of most Heroes was wrong, and she stops her outward support of a lot of Heroes she once had respect for. Mito and Yasushi, both having never wanted to be Heroes, don’t find it difficult at all to pull apart and condemn the wrongful actions of Heroes.

As for the students that stood by, Kariage and Mito are the only ones of the group who actively dislike them, though they don’t make it known, not wanting Katsuki to not make friends because of their opinions. Hifue recognizes that, as kids, they weren’t responsible for the actions of adults, and Seika just wished someone would’ve stepped in to prevent it from happening in the first place. 

Yasushi is neutral to the 1A kids, knowing they probably could’ve stepped in, but he doesn’t exactly blame them for letting it happen -  I mean, if All Might did something, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone to denounce his actions, you know? Henshuu is the only one who actively shows her dislike of 1A, refusing to make conversation and always grumbling around them. Katsuki doesn’t make her stop, and secretly likes that she’s willing to be disliked just to show her support for him.

As I said, the kids don’t exactly have too much interactions with the teachers, so it’s bit hard to theorize from what I do have planned and outlined. However!! I am planning to write a spinoff AU based on the Training of the Dead OVA for this ‘verse, where Kariage, Seika, and Henshuu’s Hero school is the one to have a joint training with UA instead of Isamu Academy High School. So, those three do get to have more interactions with All MIght and 1A in this specific spinoff fic.
