In a Superhuman Society

Summary:

A world with quirks is going to have some rather quirky characters. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every person in the Boku no Hero Academia world deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, for 2023. Tags updated daily.

Summaries for the most recent chapters:
358. Having a hammer to whack folks with is too much temptation to pass up for King Slam.
359. Rei Todoroki suffered a mental schism. Now, she has nothing time to reflect on her actions.
360. Emperor Yotsuura has world-class athletic skill, but because it's his quirk's power, he'll can't go pro.
361. Even as a kid, Ochaco Uraraka had sky-high dreams of being a hero...but not for her own benefit.
362. For all Hawks' time in the spotlight as a top pro, there's even more to him that's kept shadowed.
363. Life for Ippan Josei is anything but ordinary, given her physical stature combined with social strife.
364. Hisashi Midoriya stands with his family in spirit, at least, for the duration of his overseas stay.
365. All For One was around during the dawn of the age of quirks, but the one he helped make still haunts him.

Notes:

Welcome to my newest drabble collection! I will be doing a 100 word drabble a day, each focused on a different character in the BnHA universe. I've got a list of 387 characters to work with, and I will be posting them based on character birthdays (and using the days with no canon birthdays to write for characters who don't have a listed DOB or as spillover from days where multiple birthdays occur). That means Nezu (Nedzu in AO3's tags, though...) is up first!

Unlike my Harry Potter collection (which I am posting here on AO3 concurrently with this story), I am not as familiar with this fandom. I have watched the anime, seen the first two movies, read a few volumes of the manga, plus read a ton of fanfiction. For these drabbles, my info will come from the anime/movies first, then the manga and the Ultra Analysis book, and finally supplemented with the wiki. For Vigilantes characters, for example, I'll have to lean on that last one more.

For this first week, the open dates with no canon birthdays are Jan. 3rd, 5th, and 6th. So, if there's someone you want to see highlighted early on in this story, let me know via comment. I'm not planning on many of these being connected to each other, so I'm not picky on the order I tackle these characters in. Getting a prompt will more than likely motivate me to write more, actually.

Alternate title: A Survey of Superhuman Society. Do y'all like the current one, or this instead? Also, I promise this is the only note that will be way longer than the actual drabble.

Chapter 1: Nezu

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

1. Nezu

UA was Nezu's lair. Its outsized doors and endless halls lent the school a maze-like quality, and the principal enjoyed nothing more than making others scurry through it. 

From his office, Nezu asserted control over his subjects, whether through opening doors as people approached, or sending PA announcements to keep up his mystique. Nezu was a quirked animal; humans would never be totally comfortable in his presence. But Nezu now got to dictate how he wanted that uneasiness to manifest.

He would always hold a grudge, but Nezu would also always protect those at UA. His territory was sacrosanct.
