♡ Intro to the Undercut-Verse ♡

Hello!! This is the info page for my Undercut-Verse, an AU created to support my personal HC that Bakugou had friends (and a boyfriend) at his junior high before getting to UA. It also gives me a valid reason to give Bakugou the love and support he needs and deserves.

Characters

Other than Bakugou, the main characters in this ‘verse are who I collectively call the Katsucrew or the Aldera Gang. There are seven of them, all of which I named and created character profiles for:

Agei Ashikari (安芸芦狩), also known as Undercut/Kariage-kun by Japanese fans, is Bakugou’s boyfriend. He’s attending a lesser known Hero school with three of the other main characters and has the Quirk: Smoke.

Agei Kanji (安芸完志) is Kariage’s little half-sister and Bakugou’s honorary baby sister. She eventually becomes best friends with Eri and has the Quirk: Temperature Manipulation.

Dehisa Yasushi (出久や舒沙) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. He’s enrolled at a normal high school and has the Quirk: Finger Elongation.

Daikikou Seika (大輝煌青渦) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She attends the same Hero school as Kariage and has the Quirk: Cyan Spiral.

Kate Mito (火手美橙) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She’s enrolled in the Department of Support at UA and has the Quirk: Fire Arm.

Obuki Hifue (小浮気一二栄) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She’s enrolled in the Department of Business at UA and has the Quirk: Small-Scale Telekinesis.

Shioawa Henshuu (塩泡編集) is one of Bakugou’s friends from junior high. She attends the same Hero school as Kariage and has the Quirk: Bubble.

Settings

Besides Aldera Junior High, UA High School, and the various households of the Katsucrew, there are other places that have a prominent presence in this AU. These locations are:

Moushou Academy (猛将学校), the lesser known Hero school that Kariage, Seika, and Henshuu attend, located just inside Musutafu.

Black Cat Café (黒猫喫茶店), the cat café where Seika is employed and the Katsucrew often visit to relax or study.

Dehisa Family Store (出久家族店), the family-owned konbini where Yasushi and his parents work.

Shinpi’s Noodle Shop (神秘饂飩屋), the hole-in-the-wall ramen shop where Kariage works and the crew meet up to celebrate or cheer up.

The Warehouse Roof (庫屋根), the roof of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Musutafu that serves as the Katsucrew’s official hangout spot.

Kosetsu Kindergarten (古拙幼稚園), the quaint kindergarten that Kanji attends, located right between UA and Moushou Academy.

i can’t stop thinking of your analysis of “i don’t care” and bakugou/kariage😭 it was so good!!! and i wanna draw smth for it! thank you so much for blessing us with it!!!!💖💖💖

asdFGHJKL omg that analysis was so fun to do, I really loved doing it, to be honest!! but?? OMG, if you draw something for it, Id literally die with happiness, and that’s not an exaggeration <33

seika my sweetheart <3

Nnnnnnn, I’ve thought so much on how Aizawa would react to Kariage dating Katsuki, and I’ve got a general idea outlined for the official ‘verse, but goddamn, I love the idea of Kariage and Aizawa despising each other.

Like, Aizawa’s just over here trying to protect his pseudo son and keep him away from bad influences that could corrupt him. Then, along comes this delinquent, embodying everything that could hurt Katsuki in the long run, and Aizawa’s on edge, immediately. So, obviously, he decides to make it known to this two-bit thug that Aizawa will ruin his life if he so much as thinks about hurting Katsuki.

On Kariage’s end, I love the idea of him liking that Katsuki has people who love and support and care about him, but, God. Would it kill people to look past appearances and actually understand that Kariage would never hurt Katsuki? And, like, that frustration and annoyance and pettiness just keeps on building up, so when someone important to Katsuki finally speaks up about his concerns, it boils over.

And, I freaking adore how casual and shameless Kariage is - even though he knows he should really be respectful - spouting innuendos when Aizawa’s just over here trying to give a shovel talk asdfghjkl <33

i like the idea of kariage intentionally antagonizing aizawa because he’s so protective of katsuki

like aizawa giving him the shovel talk and kariage just mercilessly making innuendos about katsuki just to set aizawa off

askdsdkaj YES!

Kariage finds it both amusing and only a tiny bit insulting. He’s happy that Katsuki has someone that cares about him so much, he is, but he can’t help but find Aizawa’s threats and speeches absolutely hilarious. But at the same time he just wants to tell him to fuck off cause he wouldn’t dare hurt Katsuki, he would never, so why the fuck is this old man bothering him so much? Thinking that Kariage would actually do anything to upset Katsuki? Ridiculous.

But then Aizawa comes up to him and goes on a rant, “I swear to fucking God, if you step out of line I will not hesitate to punch you. I’m an underground hero, I’m good at hiding my tracks, no one would even know. You better take care of him.”

And Kariage knows he should be polite, he knows he should say something like ‘Of course, Aizawa Sensei, I will protect him with my life,’ but what comes out instead is “Oh, don’t worry,” he smirks and leans in closer, “I’ll take very, very good care of him.”

Ooh, okay so it’s been a good. Three months since I’ve posted anything haha whoops. Anyways, I’m just posting this to let everyone (who’re not in the server) that I’m still alive - I just have not been very active. Yikes.

Yeah, so my lack of activity is mostly because my work schedule kind of ramped up and my diploma work has gotten increasingly more difficult (sigh). My computer, which is what I use 99% of the time to write with, also broke and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get it fixed. In the time since I haven’t posted, my adoration for both KariBaku and the Katsucrew waned enough that it went on the backburner of my interests, especially since I got super into Attack on Titan for a good while (still am, to be honest).

However!! I’ve recently (aka like. two days ago) reawakened my obsession with this little ‘verse of mine so!! I’m not gonna make any promises about how much I’ll post, or when I can finally get around to actually fleshing out my fics, but I’ll be answering ALL of the asks I have in my inbox (some that’ve been there for months, sheesh) and I’ll be making attempts at posting more, including some of the backlog of drafts I have!!

So, yeah, in summary: I love each and every one of you guys for putting up with my lack of posting and lapse of interest <33

sometimes a family is an unapologetic gremlin, a notorious bad boy, and the little angel that keeps them in check <33

Hi! I just wanted to drop a headcannon I'm currently finding motivation to write here because I'm still new on the discord server and stated before that I get panicked easily!

Imagine this: Kariage and Katsuki gave each other promise rings in middle school but they lost contact when Katsuki went to UA... Kariage on the other hand, became a popular singer or something and he has lots of fangirls, but despite that he's still loyal to Katsuki and wants to find him again like a modern day Romeo and Juliet. He wears the promise ring and his fans starts to notice and ofc there are *THOSE* fangirls that try and buy matching ones... What they didn't know was that the promise ring Kariage wore had a vow or sentence that only he and Katsuki knew... Now back to Katsuki, he rarely wears the promise ring but he still kept it and polished it and the only ones who realised that Katsuki was wearing the ring were Momo and Deku but they decided to leave it be

OK, now onto how they're reunited...basically the fangirls are getting wild so Kariage finally revealed that he has a lover but won't say who... So one day he decides to have a little concert at UA because they really need something fun (also because he knew Katsuki was there)... He was allowed a tour in the school and let's say, coincidentally Katsuki walks by and Kariage sees him and he grabs Katsuki and makes him turn towards Kariage so he could see his face... Now, Katsuki wanted to yell at him but then realised it was Kariage so he of course was shocked and said "Holy sh*t- Kariage-?" and then Kariage just smirks and then everyone else is just shocked and Kariage just says "Hello Strawberry" (OK but imagine Strawberry as a nickname because what if Katsuki was a sucker for strawberry flavored things-) and then they kiss in front of everyone and they are just like- so shocked because our local angry Pomeranian??? With famous singer Kariage???

Dadzawa in the bag like: AYO STOP HITTING ON MY PROBL- AYE STOP KISSING-

!!! Omg you’re our newest member?? i think?? Anyways, welcome to the discord server, I hope you like it well <33

As for your little concept - its super cute!! I love thinking of all different types of AUs when it comes to these two, but this one is interesting!! I really do like the concept of Kariage and Katsuki exchanging promise rings (I have a century old concept of Kari proposing to Katsuki at a festival which has been in the works for,,, forever) and the idea of the two of them being in a secret relationship and/or losing contact is!! just!! one of my favorite things to think about, to be honest, because of the sheer amount of possibilities. Especially if you add in some good ol’ Dadzawa, ya feel? 👀

And, the concept of Kari calling Katsuki every type of pet name to show his love and affection? Your Honor, I love them so. Thanks for sending this in!! It gave me just the right amount of serotonin <33

do u have any hc about 1-A getting jealous of undercut-kun when he’s lovin on katsuki or vise versa?

Oh, definitely!!

I’m not entirely certain if I actually want to have Bakubowl in the ‘verse, but regardless, there are going to be some jealous kids.

The Bakusquad and Deku are the ones who are most jealous of the closeness between Katsuki and Kariage. Deku mostly because he hates the fact that, despite knowing Katsuki for longer, Katsuki barely tolerates him while he willingly gives attention and affection to Kariage.

The Bakusquad are jealous because most of their ‘Let’s be friends’ advances are rebuffed without a second thought. At first, they don’t understand why Katsuki lets his other friends be so casual about touch, not knowing that years were spent gaining trust and learning about each other.

However, eventually, when Katsuki admits to the Katsucrew that he wants to actually get closer to the Bakusquad and at least form a decent relationship with Deku, the crew supports him 100%. Some of the crew even goes so far as to give advice to the 1A kids, mostly about the different ways Katsuki expresses care and friendship and how to be a good friend to the resident hothead.

♡ Villain Kariage AU Pt. 3 ♡

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]

What are your thoughts on the sports festival and bakugou getting muzzled? How do you think the undercut-verse plays in it? Also I just really love you. Undercut-kun x bakugou is one of the my otps (though every ship with bakugou is my otp except for the cursed ones) and the fact that you provide us with all this beautiful content makes me so happy🥺. Love ya ❤

!!! Okay, the Sports Festival and the whole situation afterwards plays out very differently than it does in canon. Originally, I was going to have Kariage physically be there, but then I remembered he’s supposed to be lower-income in the story. The same goes for Seika, who’s parents are middle-class but frugal, and Henshuu, whose family can’t afford unnecessary things when they have to take care of eight kids. Yasushi also probably wouldn’t be able to afford Sports Festival tickets.

Also, this answer got kind of long, so I’m going to split it in half - the first for the actual Sports Festival situation, and the second for the aftermath.

So, the only ones actually there when Katsuki is chained and muzzled on live television are Mito and Hifue. They’re not together at the time, sitting with their respective courses and classes but when the podium is raised, Mito takes off running to where Hifue is sitting. They’re shocked at first, and Mito understandably thinks that there has to be a mistake. However, Hifue regrettably tells her that it’s clear no one else thinks something is wrong.

They might not be Hero students, but they’re not going to stand back when something bad is happening.

All Might arrives, landing right in front of the podium. He turns to take the medals from Midnight when, all of a sudden, something small smacks him in the shoulder. The small rock drops to the ground, Hifue’s telekinesis deactivating, and there’s silence in the crowd, people staring straight at Hifue and Mito who stand, faces screwed up in hateful glares.

“Let him go!” Mito shouts angrily, “What the fuck is that! He’s literally chained to a fucking pillar! Let him go, dammit!”

Murmurs pass through the crowd as All Might, shocked, stammers. “Young - Young lady, you must calm down, this is simply a precaution - “

Mito literally growls, stomping as close to the barrier of the seating area as she can, leaning over the rail and screaming out. “Shut the fuck up! Precaution, my ass. He’s a fucking kid! You muzzled a kid! What type of hero does that shit?”

Midnight clears her throat, “Ma’am, as a student of UA, you must respect your teachers. Bakugou needs to accept his medal, and he’s acting - “

Hifue sneers as Mito cuts Midnight off, eyes enraged: “Acting what!? Acting what!? Like he woke up chained and muzzled!? Like he wants to get out!? Fuck your medal! Leave him the hell alone!”

Hifue looks down at the two teachers and speaks clearly for all to hear: “You’re not acting like teachers or Heroes - your actions are downright villainous.”

This shuts the Hero up, leaving those in the crowd to furiously whisper. There is nothing for a few seconds before a voice echoes from across the near silent stadium: “Let him go!” Heads turn - it’s a girl, maybe nineteen or so, standing tall despite the hands of her friends trying to tug her down. From a few rows down, the call is echoed, this time from a little boy around nine. His mom nods once and stands with him. “Let him go!”

From the general course section, a purple haired boy leans over the rail, cups his hands around his mouth and hoarsely repeats, “Let him go!” All around the stadium, a chant starts up, people clamoring up from their seats and echoing the call. There’s hesitation in some, voices mere whispers, but they rise in volume until the crowd is in an uproar. Even the boys in second and third place seem to be echoing the phrase.

Mito is shouting the loudest, fist raised high in the air, eyes locked on Katsuki’s red-rimmed ones.

All Might and Midnight attempt to quiet to crowd in vain, eventually giving up when the chant becomes deafening. Rushing, Midnight hands the keys over and All Might hurriedly releases Katsuki, stepping forward as if to speak to the boy. Katsuki flinches back, betrayal clear in his eyes as he stumbles off the stage in a rush.

He heads to one of the exits, and Mito and Hifue rush to meet him halfway. They leave to the sound of “Let him go! Let him go! Let him go!” and the sight of food and drinks being thrown from the stands - a show of disrespect to the Heroes and their villainous actions.
