He is Orange for an Amazing Reason by @gojirawrx

God tiering was supposed to fix things. Davesprite had worried, entirely to himself, about if it went wrong. If he was just deleted instead of becoming human again. If he was merged with the original Davesprite, completely destroyed in favor of the original. If it didn’t work at all, and he was stuck like that forever. He never imagined, even in his wildest of nightmares, that he would open his eyes to a bright blue sky above him. -- A crowstrider au au where when he goes to God Tier, he instead swaps places with Hawks BNHA an a great fuck you from the multiverse.
