A female lead character. My first story ever. Like ever. It's just been stuck in my head, so I'm going to try and write it.... ✨✨this was my very first story, so yall gotta be a lil gentle lolol After graduating from UA at the top of her class, y/n l/n moved to America to continue her hero work. Running from her past, she gives up hero work after 5 years and takes a hiatus. What happens when she's recruited back to UA as a quirk development and strength/conditioning coach? It's been 7 years since she's been home... Will she be able to get over her past? Will she be able to build the future she's always wanted? I love Aizawa, so he inspired this. We'll see where it takes us. It does include romance (cuz Dadzawa), but the MC is also bad ass, so it won't only be romance. Also, love triangle af. I don't own any characters from My Hero Academia. Also, I know Aizawa is 31 when mha begins, but in my story he's 28. Hawks is also 26, not 23. Not super relevant, but thought I'd mention it.

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
