I’m tagging @problematic-ranowa @saoryemanoelle @wrongnote and anyone else who’d like to join in!

This is from a little (i say) Lost Trio, Vanitas-shaped fic I’ve been working on, “The Case of Vanitas”.

She laughed. “Okay, they’re not that bad. I’ll make up a nice little excuse again. We’ll talk again soon.” Then much to his surprise, she dropped his hand and cupped his cheek, leaning in to kiss the opposite one.

The hug was warm, but the kiss was fucking electric. Electric, but more unexpected than anything else. When she stepped back from him, eyes so fucking warm and casual for something so intense, he turned gigantic eyes on her.

Assigned Dad in the Teacher’s Lounge

Ah yes. Barely over 1k and still one of my most popular fics. There isn’t even any angst in this one.

1. What inspired you to write the fic this way?

One of my favorite parts of this fic is the fact that Aizawa is completely blindsided by the conclusion that Eri comes to at the end. He’s completely pre-occupied thinking about his class, and Eri’s therapy, and whether Eri understands basic concepts like having parents. 

I see a lot of dadzawa fics where Aizawa initiates the parental-ness somehow, but I’ve always thought he’s more likely to be the one confused about how the whole thing happened, so I wanted to write the fic in a way where Eri was the one to decide on his role and he just had to go with it. It was also my first time writing his POV, so I had a lot of fun with it.

15. What did you learn from writing this fic?

That Aizawa is my favorite POV. I don’t really consider myself to be super in his head the way a lot of people are, but it’s a lot easier to write him than Midoriya or Bakugou or anyone else.

Also, with the exception of parenthood hurtling his way, he notices the most out of anyone else in the show (except maybe Nezu) so writing from his POV always allows you to explore more about what’s going on between and around the characters than you would otherwise.
