Love Me Like a Reptile

Chapter 15: Graduation Song

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

"Hey. We won't know for sure. To be honest, I haven't checked in with my middle school friends since entering UA. But whatever happens, we're not just future heroes. We are friends."

 

"Itsuka, why are you amazing?"

 

"I'm not? Just doing what any friend would do. Besides, a president has her vp's back."

 

The two hugged, the clock ticking down until their names were called.

 

"Kendou Itsuka"

 

"I'm up. See you on the other side?" The redhead smiled, heading up onto the stage as she waved to her friend.

 

The students of UA stood at attention, throwing their caps in the air, with cheers filling the air.

 

Notes:

And thus we wrap up another fic. I hope you all enjoyed it.

I really liked writing this pairing but I will be honest, I had trouble writing this chapter. Wasn't sure how to end it until I decided on having the graduate. Even now I feel I took too long in some areas and rushed others. I certainly could have expanded more. Better a finished story than a lacking one.

But despite my love and creativity, I was starting to run out of steam a little so it might be best I ended it when I did.I can probably do far better but that is just me, always aiming to do better. I tried to pay homage to everything that came before, from the very beginning to the most recent chapters.

Danny showing up was probably too soon and fan service but I feel I gave him and Ryukyu important enough roles that it was warranted. I kept the Jewish Kyouka headcanon plot thread going to lampshade their relationship, with the Bashert thing (it means soul mates essentially).

It feels good to finish this. I hope I didn't botch it but man it feels good to be finished. I just have a big bang entry to finish and then boom.

I am taking a break from writing MHA. It has been fun and it has been helpful and meaningful to me. Pretty sure I helped open people's eyes to various rare pairs. Not only that, I have many ideas and I tried to get them out there for others to use if I can't.

For now though, my focus will be on other series, including my own original works.

So thanks again. These two girls have been a joy to write and I look forward to creating new stories with new characters and new worlds, as well as some familiar ones.

Take care and see you around soon. Promise! :)

Notes:

So this was a cute rare pair idea I had after some conversations with QuirkQuartz about the Itsuka Kendou/ Momo Yaoyorozu ship. A few other ships span out of this and we ended up playing with Setsuna Tokage. We ended up giving her some characterization based on what little is on the wiki and in the manga. I plan on doing some more experimental rarepair oneshots. If you guys like the pairings wihin, I can do more. Enjoy the background Minadeku and Itsumomo as well. Happy day after V-day! Expect more Izumina from me. I'm not done. I'm just branching out with some more ideas I had.

Enjoy.
