Beautiful Cloud

Summary:

Shirakumo Oboro never made it as a Pro-hero. He died before he got the chance, leaving behind several dear friends.

Midoriya Mikumo however, has that chance and two life goals.
1: To aid and support his twin, Izuku
2: To find those he had lost, or rather, those who had lost him

Notes:

This is gonna be my first published and multi-chapter fic, so constructive criticism and predictions are welcome!

Chapter 1: Wake Me Up

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

The moment Shirakumo Oboro feels cold air hitting his bare skin, he knows something's different.

The moment Shirakumo Oboro smells the scent of antiseptic, he knows he's in a hospital.

The moment Shirakumo Oboro opens his eyes, he knows that he had died.

The moment Shirakumo Oboro opens his mouth, he cries helplessly, gasping and mourning for his loss.

The moment Shirakumo Oboro hears what the people around him are saying, he knows he's no longer just Shirakumo Oboro.

The moment Shirakumo Oboro is finally fed by his new mother, a young woman with dark green hair, he knows three things. That he's been gifted a second chance, a twin brother, and a new name.

The moment Midoriya Mikumo realizes this, he falls asleep, exhausted.

Notes:

Might end up with song chapter titles, every now and then. This one is Wake Me Up--Evanescence, referencing both the could-have-been of Ch.253 and Shirakumo's death, and now rebirth.

Also, I'm a bit surprised no one else has tried this yet, as far as I know. I mean, the timeline roughly matches, and 'Mikumo'? Look up the name meaning if you're interested.

Chapter 2: 7 Years

Summary:

Skipping through time a bit, and a bit of exposition on Izuku.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Growing up was hard, but there hadn't been anything Mikumo could do. As reliant as he had been on his new mother in his first years of this new life, it had taught him patience, patience and love for his new family, not that he loved his last one any less. He still missed them.

Izuku, his younger brother by fifteen minutes, had been his anchor since day one. Innocent and kind, but also smart and cunning. Izuku somehow always knew when Mikumo started to drown in his past memories and had never failed to drag him back to the present with a satisfied look in his eyes, proud that he could help his brother.

Izuku however, also tended to have a habit of attracting trouble… which was a mix of good and bad, depending on how you looked at it. 

Good, because Mikumo quickly became immune to a variety of ridiculous situations from which they sometimes got something out of, such as information, food, or tokens of appreciation. Mikumo also had learned to take joy in the reactions of others who got caught up in his brother's troubles, in order to protect his sanity of course.

Bad, because… well, reasons. Not in the least being that things had escalated once they turned four. After their friendship with Katsuki shattered one day when Mikumo was home sick, after Mikumo regained his Cloud Quirk, and Izuku… Izuku having been diagnosed Quirkless. (Of course Mikumo still thought otherwise, no matter what that doctor said. After all, the trouble his brother attracted couldn't be natural, could it? Inko could attract small objects, was it out of the question for Izuku to attract trouble?)

Notes:

Yes I'm skipping through time, and probably will do so until they make it to UA, which'll be where things really start. I'll probably have a side fic for these intervening years and events that don't make it here.
