    Summary

    Izuku had heard of the uncanny valley.

    Two words, meant to summarize a vast feeling of insurmountable description.

    The uncanny valley, at its core, was an instinctual feeling of wrongness humans experienced when seeing something non-human with human characteristics. Birds with mocking capabilities or emotionally intelligent AI could trigger it, or even other humans that were sick or dying.

    Izuku thinks there’s something more. When he looks in the mirror, he can see that the body in his reflection is identical to his own.
    When his reflection touches his face, he feels the caress on his own skin. When Izuku moves his arm, the reflection copies him.

    The reflection is real, yet it is not. It couldn't exist unless Izuku himself was there to give it life, to give it something to copy.
    If Izuku shattered that mirror, his reflection would cease to exist, erased.
    But it wouldn’t erase the feeling that Izuku got when he looked into the eyes of his own reflection.

    The uncanny valley was an instinctive response when seeing something non-human that was trying very desperately to pretend that it was.

    When Izuku looked in the mirror, all he saw was a ghoul.

    Summary

    When he was six years old, he manifested a rare gift to change into a cat and he was told to never let anyone else find out. When he was twelve, Toya burned to death on a mountain, and a few years later, Dabi woke up. He has had a lot more options for survival being able to hide out as a cat whenever he doesn't have money or anywhere safe for a human to sleep and he has just managed to survive.

    But when he hears about the League of Villains attacking UA, he wants to know more about the organization and its affiliations. Afterall, anyone willing to take such a shot at the heroes could be useful for his goals. He was not anticipating tracking down the so-called leader and finding a barely twenty-year-old gamer who's still recovering from being shot. He still forces his way into the apartment anyway, he has information to gather and if he can do it warm, safe, and dry, then that's a good enough excuse for him.

    Becoming Tomura Shigaraki's housecat may be more complicated than he first thought though.

    Summary

    When Uchiha Hatsuhime was ten years old, her mother and father died on a mission in the Land of Rivers. In a (completely) unrelated incident, her older sister and her brother-in-law also died, orphaning Hatsuhime’s baby nephew, Obito.

    Having recently passed the genin certification exam, Hatsuhime continues living in the home her parents raised her in. Obito is placed in the care of Uchiha Fūbuki, his paternal grandmother—someone who is both feared and respected for reasons a young Hatsuhime isn’t privy to.

    She begins her career as a genin, and their paths don’t cross for nearly a decade.

     

    Eight years later and newly ‘retired’ from Anbu, Hatsuhime prepares to welcome Obito into her home after his elderly grandmother suffers a stroke.

    On the same day as her retirement, her teenage crush and head of the Uchiha Clan (Uchiha Fugaku himself!) offers her a job at the Konoha Keimu Butai. Then Obito arrives late to his own modest welcoming party and Hatsuhime knows the next few weeks, months—years—are going to be a trial of patience.

    Summary

    The screen starts out black. Instead of the usual bunny intro, it immediately cuts to a boy.

    His smile seems forced.

    "Hi, it's Yume. Usually I'm more upbeat during my videos, but honestly..." His smile fades, a grimace in place of it, "I don't think I have the energy nor any f**ks right now. Let's talk about the Sludge Villain Incident."

    Or, Midoriya Izuku is an up-and-coming youtuber who analyzes quirks of heroes. His video about the Sludge Incident goes viral, earning him an immediate boost in subscribers. Somehow he remains oblivious to the multiple heroes that comment on his videos, his fans' apparent thirst for him and his blatant crush on Editor-kun and Angry-kun.
