Re:your 6k words post, if it doesn’t fit in the immediate canon timeline, you could always throw it in as an in-universe oneshot 👀🐶

Hope you’re well🖤

hi v!!! hope you’re well too <3

maybe i should rewatch the bits about tomura’s backstory lol……but that makes a lot of sense! i lowkey forgot about tomura’s bio dad being Terrible…with his huge thing against heroes, there could be an undercurrent there of “you’re not going to be a hero, especially not as a sub” kind of vibe (did tomura want to be a hero? i assume everyone did, basically. or did he just like them?)

but yeah, i like that! it would definitely help with building a relationship between them and with making tomura more reliant on him. complex villains!

Oh my god I read it last night before bed and it’s ALL I could think about!!! And it’s STILL all I can think about!!! I’m so in love with this concept and so glad you ended up writing this. The slow realization, the denial, the imposter syndrome, the perceived selfishness—it’s all soooo good and really speaks to what I feel like is kind of this internalized orientationism that exists unconsciously in the greater society of your worldbuilding from which a lot of the trans issues or Hawks’s internalized subphobia (is that a thing? Is now) kind of stem insidiously. Kirishima is like “I’m a dom! It’s my job to protect ppl and I’m a hero anyway so it all works out!” But that’s a trap he doesn’t realize he’s stuck in until he’s really forced to confront it, and I’m soooo in love with how you handled him avoiding the issue until it blew up in his face (because I’m an angst/hurt/comfort lover). Got all the swoopy feelings in my stomach about it and even when I go back to read it again I still get em 🩵

Kiri’s evolution is something I’m so excited to read further about… I really hope you’ll explore him trying to hide it from his friends, who are so used to using him as a dom sounding board when they need help. I can’t imagine he’ll find it easy to give up that role easily, since he cares so much for his friends and wants to support them in any way he can, and also because I wonder if the weight of their expectations will be hard to get out from under without outing himself? Like I can just see Sero torn on the sidelines watching Kirishima do things that hurt himself but not knowing how to intervene in a way that respects Kirishima’s boundaries but also is healthy for him?

Which also makes me wonder about our dear, beloved, hyper vigilant Aizawa-sensei… because I’m an ever-guilty Aizawa lover…….!! But that aside, my excuse for bringing him is that I think he would at least notice something off with kirishima and his dynamic w the class (unless he’s not their teacher at this point? Tbh I’m admittedly not sure how school is looking for these kids at this point in your story ehehe). But I can also picture sero going to him like “girl help! My bf is (redacted) and he’s hurting himself over it and idk what to do!” Or also kiri showing up in the office like “Sensei help! I’m (redacted) and idk what to do!” And Aizawa being like “well I can’t help if I don’t know the root of the problem but also I respect boundaries so….”

Sorry got carried away a bit. But the point is! I loved this fic and CANT wait to see where you’ll take it next.

Enjoy your hiatus! You’ve more than earned it. Until the next update, I’ll be lurking on old chapters and poking you in your asks 🩵

TRANS!!! KIRI!!! RIGHTS!!! 🩵🩵🩵

oh yeah, i definitely want to explore him hiding things from the others. we loveee that angst. i don’t know when i want him to come out…in Cross the Line i did write a little throwaway convo about him and sero both being doms before i decided to hit him with the trans beam, and i’m still undecided on what to do about that. they’re all around 23 at that point, which is a pretty long time to hide, so i might change it. i can definitely see him only coming out to a few people for the sake of his hero career….we’ll see.

aizawa is definitely still around! in my head they keep the same homeroom teacher bc i loveee dadzawa and it makes sense?? right?? if he’s training them?? yeah.

i lowkey forgot he would be around noticing all of this but yeah, he would definitely notice the dynamic was off and be like, waiting for the right excuse to poke at the issue. and sero would absolutely come to him well before kiri would :(( ack i’m making myself sad thinking about him now

i like this version of kiri (and all versions of trans kiri) bc he has this kind of comedic level of emphasis on manliness and being the steady unwavering rock for his friends, which is very wholesome, but also BUDDY. you need to base your identity on more things than that. i think it is very genuine, which is why i love him, but also you could play it like he’s compensating, like if he just says it enough it’ll be true.

augh. enough sadkiri thoughts. let’s think about puppykiri again and ask the REAL question which is: why does his costume have a psuedo-muzzle, hm? what’s happening here

I loooove all your thoughts on the kink variety, especially everything you said w kaminari todoroki and shinsou! I’m curious about kaminari especially—like, what solo stuff looks like in this particular setting where kink isn’t always inherently sexual? and also how safe it is to do that kind of stuff alone, especially for a sub, since that headspace is super vulnerable! like if a sub drops in a forest and no one’s around to hear, how does he rebound from that? 👀

and for todoshin I’m just… frothing??? like yes good to make todoroki match shinsou but also UM?? the DRAMA of todoroki of all people being into pain, when you look back at his particular upbringing? It makes so much sense that he would get the wires for love and pain crossed with all the shit his parents put him through. there are so many layers of coping to unravel with him i could practically write an essay, so matching him up with shinsou is just soooo perfect imo haha. But yes!!! Service/pillow Princess todoroki is VERY IMPORTANT!! He can have both!!! The duality of man!!!!!!! He just feels so fluid to me like he can do it all and he SHOULD!

you mentioned shinsous damage with gags an muzzles… is that just because of his quirk, or is there trauma to unravel? 👀 i must admit I always love the trope of shinsou being muzzled as a kid, but with the context of this au i feel like it adds even more flavor ✨ that is, there’s kind of something inherently sub-like about being muzzled, and with shinsou being a dom, i gotta wonder what that could do to a kids head? like a dom being forced into a submissive role without consent during the formative years of his youth… much to think about 🧐

I’m also curious about how a dom/switch (or sub/switch, but I’m particularly talking about todoshin rn sooo ;p) works with the biological components! In your bkdk story there’s the switch therapy arc (which I LOOOOVE btw tysm for that💞💞💞 caretaker fatigue is so real and it felt so validating to get to see Bakugou getting taken care of for a lil bit ❤️‍🩹) which made it sound like switching if you don’t already lean switch would be difficult or unadvisable? So if a switch is paired with a dom, does that switch also need to satisfy their own dom leanings to be healthy? Or are they able to do alright with hanging out in the Sub Zone? And if they do need to go Dom Mode sometimes, how does the usual dom in the relationship handle that?

Sorry for all the questions! Todoroki n shinsou just got me thinking! 💞 also, kind of a non sequitur, but I wanted to say that some of my favorite scenes have been the subcircle scenes in each of your fics—especially the one w deku and todoroki that went so downhill 😏 what can i say I love the dramaaaaa

but yeah, sorry for the long message again! It felt too presumptuous to message you so I hope you don’t mind 💞This au has really been getting me through some difficult times lately, so thanks so much for all your hard work! I can’t wait for the next installment! Much love💞💞💞 —V

omg hi again! i’m sorry about your week :(( i hope it’s going a bit better now 💞💞

okay okay on kaminari and solo play—i came up with that fairly on the fly lol BUT i imagine this world has like, a thriving ASMR community where someone pretend-talks you through a scene or something lol, so that’s the main option. but also depending on the person they could just hang out and put themselves in a light headspace if they really tried. like the first thing coming to mind is pet play again 💀 even with no dom around you can still dress up yknow?

but you are correct it is not exactly what one would call Safe lol. definitely not uncommon, but ill-advised, because of the risk of drop or the sub hurting themself. the best-case scenario is something like what kaminari has, where other people are nearby to notice if something has gone wrong.

ugh and YES todoshin, i love them both so much so ofc i have to give them all the angst >:3 imagine it coming out that todo’s into pain and someone just decides to like, shame him about it. “obviously you don’t actually like it you were just conditioned by your father and you need therapy and your dom is abusive if they take advantage of that” yada yada yada. like no! well maybe! he does need therapy but shh anyway.

and oh i love giving shinsou quirk-related trauma so ofc muzzles <3 but i did NOT think about the inherent sub-ness of it omg….the urge to write about like a 13yo shinsou getting adopted by erasermic in this verse grows STRONGER. i need to talk about his issues. also uhhh the parallels of todoroki being forced into a dominant role and shinsou into a submissive one??? hello

yes okay and dom/switch relationships. there’s two ways this could go! i actually wrote a tiny exchange in CTL chapter 3 about how todoshin deal w this but i just had to go reread what it says bc i do not know my own lore. anyway. obvs this could be solved by polyamory but in the context of a monogamous relationship

scenario one: the switch is allowed to have other partner(s) as needed. todoroki alludes to this in CTL and says that recently he and shinsou & aoyama and tokoyami made a sort of…i guess friends with benefits? arrangement, since they have the same kind of issue. they’re not all dating each other, they just sometimes do a scene together if necessary. easier and more personal than always finding a different partner.

scenario two: i was going to use spinneraki as an example for this which is when i realized that i never wrote spinner’s orientation down anywhere. i have no idea what i want it to be. problem for later. regardless, shigaraki is a really sub-leaning switch, so he pretty much exclusively subs and works out his Dom Energy via running the league. so if someone leans hard one way or the other they might be fine doing that.

switches do generally need both headspaces for balance, though, BUT it would take a good bit longer to get to actual withdrawal if they were only indulging one side, if that makes sense?

ugh and YES i love the sub circle scenes they’re very fun. i have an idea in my wip list about todoroki angsting over joining one at ua bc he’s so used to just being a dom, but now that we have trans!kiri i can also give him the same angst…hehehe. i too love the drama.

I’m such a trans!o kiri lover, mainly bc crossed with the “stealth dom” idea you mentioned it really adds some flavor to the class lineup? Like, it seems to me that so far everyone in class a feels pretty confident in their orientations, trans or not, and that’s great of course but I’d love to see someone who maybe doesn’t like their orientation/doesn’t feel confident in it too! And thinking about kirishima’s other self confidence issues in canon makes me feel like he could be a good fit 🤔

His “manliness” seems more to me like a catch all term he uses for people who live proudly and have good hearts beyond just being a traditional “man”?—it makes me think maybe he would find honesty and self confidence manlier than just being a dom, so I think he would really admire people who live their truths without shame! But on the other side of that, I think that would make him struggling with his own orientation even more interesting, because it creates the question of “is it manlier to be confident and satisfied with the orientation I was born with or to be proud and open about who I feel I truly am knowing others will criticize me?” Which of course begs the question, dom to sub or sub to dom? (Since I’m assuming we’re operating with those two terms for him!)

Being sub to dom might make that question easier to answer for him, since he’ll face criticism by being a sub hero or a trans hero either way, so it ultimately comes down to looking for the answer in himself. I can see that route being slightly easier, because like selectively bigoted people will see that and be like “wellll if he’s been a dom all along it makes sense to have him be a hero” while still side eying subs like hawks or midoriya in the field. So it’s like “hmm do we prefer a sub hero or a trans hero” and that’s some kind of public dividing question.

Butttt on the other hand, dom to sub kiri might make the question harder! Because he’s living comfortably (on the outside) as a dom hero (student? I feel like he’d probs be going through this soul searching during school but idk how your timeline shapes up w that lol) and has so much to lose by being openly trans AND a sub. But I think his friends who attended the pride rally would probably tell him that it’s okay not to be out to everyone, that he’s allowed to come to terms with things in his own time and that he doesn’t owe anyone else an explanation. I think he would take comfort in that until the day he was ready to be “manly” about it and come out in a public way. There would be more backlash from the variety of bigots, which is of course good for ✨flavor✨, but especially there could be puppy kiri!!!

As for the puppy kiri agenda: I’m all in, please give it to us even if it’s just a crumb I’m begging 🙇 but I think it would be just. So delicious. To get to read kirishimas like first scenes trying to figure that out with a dom? Doesn’t have to be sero if it’s pre their arrangement but just like a homie he trusts not to mock him. Because the angst/hurt/comfort potential of a trans oriented kid working through figuring out their new orientation (pre hrt to make it more frustrating? Question mark? 👀) is just So Real to me I’m practically frothing at the mouth. Like I’m on my hands and knees over here wren just to see kirishima trying and getting frustrated and embarrassed and having to be reassured is so special to me wahhhh. Or GOD if he’s like “lol guys I’m def a dom” to his friends and like a sub friend asks to scene and he’s like “ofc bro!” But then they do it and he’s like “why does this feel so fucked up..?” Typa beat. Cue drop. Or just a baby spiral hehe. But I wanna know what that realization looks like now UGH why do you do this to me!!! /pos 💞

So this is me coming out and saying I’m pro dom to sub Kirishima lmao sorry I had to lay all that out just to get to this point.

I was also sooo curious, since you’re thinking about kink variety atm, and since it’s no man’s land for bkdk, if you have anyone in mind who really enjoys pain? Or also, just if you had any other particular kink varieties you were thinking about!

ANYWAY loved the new chapter I had an awful day and it really held me together getting to read the fic again so thank you!!💞✨

WAHH anon this was so nice to wake up to <3

you’re SO right that it could go in pretty much any direction lol, so many options, but i’m definitely leaning toward trans!sub!kiri i think. i feel like he would try to hide it for a while (maybe from the class for at least a year, and from the public into adulthood i can see easily) for fear of backlash, but also out of worry that he’s maybe…appropriating sub/trans issues? he’s just an ally, guys, he’s not Actually trans haha…ha..

and ugh the angst potential anon your MIND…..i can absolutely see him trying to dom someone and freaking out about it. i wonder who the first person he’d come out to is 👀 the heart says sero perhaps? or one of the other trans kids? at any rate i imagine it’s not bakugou bc he’s nervous about their friendship (bakugou of course thinks that was stupid when he does find out).

and 🥺 trying to sub for the first time and puppy kiri in general is so. i love him he deserves the WORLD. i’m thinking either bakugou or sero for that but who knows who knowsss

OKAY BUT KINK VARIETY……ehehe. it is a little hard to figure out but so far i have kaminari being my sort of catch-all “will try anything once” guy. i think shinsou is like a huge sadist (which may just be some fics i read talking, but shh) but also like, the biggest sweetheart, and he will flip in a second once you get to aftercare.

i’m sure i’ve had other thoughts but i can’t think of them right now lol??? idk. this is an open invitation for everyone to send me their headcanons.

pain is one of those things that i don’t mind reading but doesn’t personally appeal to me so it’s like…who do i give that to. shouto, to match shinsou. i’m realizing that i haven’t thought much about class a beyond my five main guys. oh! as i’ve mentioned izuku is my little exhibitionist. i should do more with that sometime. and this isn’t exactly a kink but now i have a hc that kaminari does a lot of solo stuff, for fun not necessity, and the gang has an unspoken agreement to keep an eye on him if he wanders into the common room during/after that.

also i want to shinsou to use his quirk SO bad but we know that. i feel like it would take a long time for him to get comfortable with that, though. and gags/muzzles are not something he would ever do, verbal answers are important to him. i think shouto would be a bit of a service sub/dom bc *gestures at backstory* but at the same time pillow princess shouto rights. he can be both, right?

as far as outside of class a….gah this is really hard. i usually scroll ao3 for inspo lol and i will be honest i have mostly been looking at puppy play recently bc i was thinkin about kirishima soo. no thoughts. head empty. i have no idea what dabihawks are going to be into really yet bc hawks has sooo much trauma and a lot of misconceptions to work through and it could go lots of ways for him. i will say that i definitely know for sure handfeeding and gags are hard nos for him right now, which we saw in FF chapter 8. and i know why. but i’m not telling yet >:3. that is something i want him to get over tho. for healing. yes. OH also i feel like hawks would take a lot of comfort in cnc eventually, bc again, the trauma. other than that, i have no idea.

and ofc to no one’s surprise toga is rlly into blood and knives in all parts of her life. good for her. i thiiink once i implied shigaraki’s also into pain? so there’s that.

He’ll often come in and derail the whole stream to make himself the centre of attention and James has called this out once or twice before.

Like here are a few clips on YouTube (the two at the bottom are shorter clips)

I wish I could give a more elaborate answer, but it seems like he just uses James streams as cheap and easy attention farming, both from James and from chat. He doesn’t have to do much and can come and go as he pleases, so it gives him maximal freedom for little effort. He can also show James up on his own stream—he likes coming out on top in competitions. They’ve got a mid-20’s British male friendship which from my observation seems to make them comfortable being antagonistic to each other, but this does look like him casually trying to get control just to prove he can have it. If I’ve got my story right he also made things complicated for the mods while he was on Niki’s stream a while back because he wanted to put his own spin on things, so kicking up a fuss is part of his MO.

I don’t think his visits are unwelcome because James will put him in thumbnails often enough, so it may be justified as a favor in Wilbur’s mind, even though some of the clips seemed like impulse drop-ins just to bug him a bit.
