I’m back again with dabihawks (mostly Dabi) art because my writers/artblock go-to is @satelliteblue‘s bachelorette au.
One would not think so for the premise, but the characterizations and plot are actually top notch and I’ve got it bookmarked and recommend. My top 5 fics ever and part one is completed with part two partially finished!
Love this fic and I’ve reread it a couple times and every time the foreshadowing and premise clocks me in the face like it’s the first time. The interactions are fluid and in character even with minor figures that only have minimal screen time in canon, and the plot is way more in depth and angsty behind the scenes than a reality tv show au should even be allowed to be. Not to mention that the characterization of all the todorokis is perfectly on point, giving an outlook for Rei, all the kids, and Enji and managing to make each one seem the most compelling in their pov.
It gets you to sympathize and agree with Enji and his guilt and remorse, only to blindside you with a switch to say, Dabi’s pov, where he calls Enji an egotistical maniac with a god complex on live tv without name dropping him, and yeah, that tracks with all the characteristics he lays out for the man and his track record.
No real good guys, no real bad guys, no us vs them. Just. People, growth and change and personalities and it genuinely is so well written that it makes me giddy and hurt at the same time.
I’ll leave the link for part one!
