    Summary

    What use was Nagisa in a situation like this? What was one little snake – out of place, out of time and so far out of his depth he’d forgotten what the surface even looked like – to do?

    “Come now, we’ve covered this,” the ghost of Koro-sensei’s voice seemed to reach across the centuries to say. “The poor beast isn’t as terrifying as all that. Start by observing how he swings that blade. Next, look over each movement with the same attention to detail and piece together what you find.”

    There.

    “Don’t you see?” Koro-sensei asked.

    And he did. Stain was skilled and he had many blades, both literal and metaphorical. It would be near impossible for a hero of Nagisa’s skill level to beat him, steel to steel.

    But Nagisa didn’t need to beat him. Because he didn’t need to be a hero, not to do this.

    “Voila,” Koro-sensei said. “A trivial adversary indeed.

    “Now, use that trusty blade to fillet him.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    this fic was Incredible and Really forced me to sit and confront my own ideas on morality. i felt izuku's pain when nagisa forced him to reassess his ideas of good and evil. i have been just as stubborn as he was about my Ingrained belief in never giving up on finding a better way to save someone, i understood his frustration innately in those sections. i do believe the reasons we do things matter.

    i have an instinctual urge to search for underlying motivations in other people's actions, behaviors, speech, etc.

    recently, when a server at a restaurant was cruel, snappish, clearly stressed and overworked, and taking it out on me and the people i was eating dinner with, i bowed my head and quietly told her i'd never been to this buffet before, and asked if she had any recommendations on the food. her demeanor instantly shifted, i watched her expressions flicker quickly from the initial pinched frustration to confusion to guilt to confusion again. her posture changed. in that moment i was thinking about how many cruel, impatient, or aggressive customers she might have had for the day. i briefly acknowledge inside my head that while her initial reaction was not one i would have likely had, i then imagined situations through her eyes where i could have come off as abrasive as she did to i and my friends. what if she'd gotten yelled at by her boss moments before i walked in? what if she'd gotten yelled at by a customer? what if she'd received bad news in her personal life? all ideas that flashed through my head as i thought about what would have to happen to make me upset at a stranger. in my head, even if there was no reason whatsoever (which doesn't occur because nothing happens in a vacuum anyway) it's still overwhelming to serve upwards of several hundred families on a holiday weekend in an extremely busy metropolitan area in california. some people have naturally short fuses and were never taught to manage them, but almost anyone wold have trouble keeping their cool in that situation.

    i remember taking my plate to the table and my friends remarking on our poor service. i briefly voiced my take on her demeanor, and my friends ... stared at me before saying something along the lines of "but none of that excuses her being rude".

    it was a very surreal moment for me. i always try to understand people's behavior. of course those aren't excuses, i remember thinking desperately. at the time, i shoved down a sense of urgency to explain myself to my friends. i remember thinking about whether can we ever truly know anyone without trying to understand where they come from and why they do what they do. i am a lot more obsessed with the context than most people, maybe, or maybe i read too far into everything.

    "I believe there’s a difference between us doing our best and failing sometimes, and people who are trying to tear down society brick by brick. I believe the reasons we do things matter, and that we can’t ever give up on making those reasons the absolute best we can, even if we fail sometimes. I believe that failing just means we have to try harder next time, not give up on ever winning again.”

    Izuku took a deep breath. “What separates a hero from a villain is being the sort of person who’s willing to keep trying to make things better even if it seems impossible. It’s not about whether or not we can actually make a perfect world - it’s about the fact that believing things can get better is the only way we can actually make anything better at all."

    -

    "Goodness isn’t something you arrive at, a state of being where you can finally give up working on yourself and just coast on your laurels. It takes work: the constant, small, everyday choice to act like other people matter."

    "I can do a difficult life. I just… I just don’t want to do harm. Whatever I do with my life, I want it to be good.”

    “Maybe none of us can be a good person. But I do think it’s always possible to be a better one.”

    Summary

    Looking up at the shining gates of UA, Nagisa pulled out his anti-sensei knife and twirled the point along his index finger. If he could hitch a ride to Hawaii at Mach 20, save his friends from poisoning and go to outer space, he could definitely do this – face a new school year. A new class.

    A new homeroom teacher.

    Because, even without time travel, moving on from their mountaintop classroom had always been the plan. Koro-sensei had wanted them to live the best lives they possibly could. Even if he hadn’t expected those lives to involve quirks or a quest to stop Shiro – I’m sorry All for One – from taking over the world with antimatter Nomu… well, Nagisa just hoped Koro-sensei would be proud of them anyway.

    He twirled the knife one more time, pointedly ignoring the concerned looks shot his way by other students passing through the gates.

    “Well, Koro-sensei,” he whispered, determinedly sliding his knife back into its hidden sheath. He hitched up his backpack and squared his shoulders to finally step through the gates. “If you’re watching out there… I guess it’s future time.”

    Summary

    After the assassination of Koro-sensei, Shiro survived to continue his experiments. And he kidnapped all of 3-E to be his first test subjects.

    His first Nomu.

    But something went wrong. Very wrong.

    And now, 27 terrified teenagers, one femme fatale and a terminally overworked government agent are waking up in a world unlike anything their assassination classroom could have prepared them for.

    ***

    Ritsu looked close to happy tears and Tsukauchi was just staring back and forth between the two of them, shocked.
    “We’ll get them out, get them safe, I promise,” she said.
    “We… Ritsu, what are you doing here? Since when do you hack into police stations?”
    And Ritsu suddenly looked very sad. “Karasuma-sensei… I’m not really sure how to tell you this… But I haven’t seen anyone from 3-E in 232 years.”

    Summary

    "So what are you looking for in a girl?" Kayano asks, eyes glinting.

    Karma pretends to ponder it. "Oh, definitely someone short, with a high voice. Cool colored hair is nice, maybe green or blue. And pigtails. Definitely pigtails." His taste is also decidedly male, but that’s none of their business.

    "Oh my god," Nakamura whispers to Fuwa. "It's so obvious. He totally has a thing for Kayano."


    OR


    The girls of class 3-E are determined to match Karma up with someone. Problem is, he's already taken.
