Prompt by @JustaKidwithStories

(_•_)

JustaKidWithStories gave me a prompt and I'm just gonna say it, I love your random ideas, they're pretty fun to write. The second idea may be a little hard, but I'll do my best to do it justice. The song is great too.

So this is my take; Four times the ghosts of One for All made Izuku look insane, and the one time they made up for it.

I've been on Ao3.

Without further ado, on with the prompt show!

Izuku isn't going to deny it. His quirk is weird. And not in the sense of 'it's passed down from generation to generation and you gain it from a predecessor by swallowing their hair and spend three minutes gagging because it feels like there's hair stuck to the back of your throat' weird.

Because One for All doesn't just store and build up strength so potent he can punch through a building and jump into the air so high he's flying or run at crazy speeds, energy bursting off of him in waves.

No. Because One for All doesn't just store strength, it stores quirks. Which would be fine, on a normal basis. Extra quirks to defeat the most evil man in the world? Sign him up!

That would be good. Fantastic, even. If there wasn't just one teensy weensy itsy bitsy detail.

One for All stored people.

So there was an afterlife. In Izuku Midoriya's head.

This has given him a few revelations, the first of which being a kind of random, am I God?

Don't judge him. There was an afterlife in his head, what was he supposed to think! The second revelation being the fact that his conscious must not have been Izuku himself, but random ghosts screaming at him to do the opposite of what he was doing.

That explained a lot, actually.

The third revelation wasn't so much as a revelation as him passing out in the middle of his bedroom floor when a ghost popped out right in his face.

Now Izuku sat in class, head in his hands as he attempted to focus on math while seven ghosts argued around him.

"Shut up," he hissed under his breath, knowing he'd look crazy if anyone heard him. Of course, this meant the ghosts didn't hear him either.

"I'm just gonna say it, you have zero taste in anything." Nana Shimura announced, earning an offended gasp from Daigoro, the user of Black Whip.

"How dare you! Call of Duty is the most amazing pre-quirk video game in the world, and you're insane to think otherwise." Daigoro declared. The First user nodded.

"That was a fun game." He mumbled. Nana shook her head.

"What in the world is so fun about a video game where you shoot people and get extra points for shooting them in the head?" She asked. "Those types of games are just condoning violence!"

The fifth user put a hand on the sixth's shoulder. "I love you," he said, "but you sound kind of like a Karen mom."

Nana blinked. "What's a Karen mom?"

Izuku nearly snapped his pencil. "An old middle aged woman who names her kids Hunter and likes to make a big deal out of everything and just the most annoying human being in the world. Now shut up."
