Like, it’s funny that the first users, those who are from generations where Quirks were most likely rarer, all had these amazing, crazy, powerful abilities to utilize against AFO.

And then you get to the final 2 users of OFA, and they’re both Quirkless, even after having 2 centuries of ancestors they should have inherited Quirks from.

And yet, somehow, despite everything, these are the 2 that get the closest before actually succeeding in destroying AFO.

This isn't something I was really going to post about, but I have decided to post it anyway.

I've made the decision to make an Archive of Our Own account so I can post some of my longer, more thought-out ideas and AUs. If you're interested in subscribing to my content, you can check my account out under melpomene_muses.

Right now, I have a few ideas of what I'd like to post first, but if you'd like to give input, that would be welcome. Here are my top contenders currently.

MHA x PJO AU: Most likely, I would just do snippets/moments between characters since that's what excites me most about this AU, the dynamics. I do have a storyline in place, but it would most likely just be referenced unless one day I actually want to write the entire thing out.

ShinKamiDeku Rooftop Trio: This is one I started writing a post about for here, but I instead think it would be better for it to be an AO3 fic with everything I've got planned for it! It kinda is how it sounds, just an AU where the 3 of them reflect the OG rooftop trio, and there's a little bit of angst.

Dad for One/Inko Shimura/Tomura and Izuku are Brothers AU: Going back to my first post, I also can 100% write this out, but I fear it's a bit overdone on AO3 and I'm more interested in putting something new out there.

This isn’t gonna be anything crazy detailed, just parental HCs, but I’d love to delve more into this if enough people are interested.

Midoriya Izuku - Son of Athena

Bakugou Katsuki - Son of Aphrodite

Todoroki Shouto - Son of Hades

Uraraka Ochako - Daughter of Ares

Iida Tenya - Son of Hermes

Asui Tsuyu - Daughter of Poseidon

Kirishima Eijirou - Son of Ares

Ashido Mina - Daughter of Hermes

Kaminari Denki - Son of Zeus

Jirou Kyoka - Huntress of Artemis / Daughter of Apollo

Yaoyorozu Momo - Daughter of Athena

Sero Hanta - Son of Hermes

Aoyama Yuuga - Son of Hebe

Ojiro Mashirao - Son of Hermes

Kouda Kouji - Son of Demeter

Satou Rikidou - Son of Hebe

Shouji Mezou - Son of Nemesis

Tokoyami Fumikage - Son of Hecate

Hagakure Tooru - Daughter of Apollo

Mineta Minoru - Son of Demeter

Shinsou Hitoshi - Son of Aphrodite

Hatsume Mei - Daughter of Hephaestus

Monoma Neito - Son of Nike

Kendo Itsuka - Daughter of Ares

Aizawa Shouta - Son of Athena

Yagi Toshinori - Son of Tyche

Yamada Hizashi - Son of Apollo

Kayama Nemuri - Daughter of Hypnos

Shirakumo Oboro - Son of Hecate

Maybe I’ll do a P2 for the rest of the UA students, faculty, the LOV, other heroes, and the vestiges of OFA. And here are some random HCs / thoughts I had for them when choosing parents.

Itsuka and Momo being children of Ares and Athena as a continuation of the duality of their parents. I’m a huge Ares/Athena are two sides of the same coin fan, so this is something I think about often

OFA in a true PJO AU I think would actually be a quest that is passed down through half-bloods instead of a quirk. I have an idea of how Toshinori chooses Izuku to take the quest when he’s just getting too old / sick to carry on with it

All the pros are campers who ‘graduated’ but are just actually adults in the mortal world. They come back to visit camp or stay when they’re working on a quest that they’ve received

The idea of AFO not only getting his hands on Nana’s grandson and making him his successor but also finding her daughter (Inko) and making the decision to corrupt her bloodline further.

I imagine that he doesn’t actually love Inko, she’s ultimately just the means to an end for him.

He also probably isn’t too attached to the idea of Izuku. He’s just an extra thing to rub in All Might’s face if he ever gets the chance, another person he couldn’t save from being affected by AFO’s existence. Maybe if Izuku had inherited more of his own features, more of Yoichi’s, then his father may have been interested.

Even the idea of Izuku having a quirk that AFO took or being Quirkless due to his father being such an early generation quirk user is an interesting dynamic to consider as well. The varying emotions this would bring out later on down the line.

But then Tomura furthers his training as a successor, and when AFO realizes that if he were to use Tomura the way he wanted, then Izuku would be a suitable replacement for Yoichi. But by then it’s too late for him to do anything that wouldn’t alter his plans. Tomura is too emotional to bring Izuku into the equation. Izuku is too interested in being a hero to ever turn to villainy. Once again, brothers on opposite sides of a battle.

After his capture, AFO asks to speak to Izuku inside Tartarus, and this is how it’s revealed. His true heritage. What his purpose could have been had things been slightly different. Tomura finds out through the doctor. His anger and rage doubles at the knowledge AFO thought he could be expendable. That his fate was decided for him when he was taken in.

In the end though, Tomura and Izuku would always be two sides of the same coin. A story that repeats itself. The older brother falling to the power that consumed his humanity and the younger brother trying to put an end to the madness.
