(fanart source here)


Doesn't it feel good being bad? The age of heroes is over, let's act like it. ... in a single open post where it can't contaminate the pure threads. Sorry, villains, I don't make the rules.

For all of your:
• Kidnapping, hatemance, revenge and dark threads.
• Well-thought-out, planned, serious Villain AU threads OR what-plot, trashy, sexy, Villain AU threads.
• "I'm the U.A. Traitor" threads in either and all directions.
• Villain-hero roleswaps with varying degrees of effort put into it.
• "well yeah shigaraki is a villain and i hate him but he has a very entertaining speedrunning stream that i watch at 3am when i can't sleep" AUs
• or anything else we goddamn want

[The plan had to succeed. There was no reason it wouldn't. Not when everything was meticulously planned out and the pieces sort of fell into line without too much effort. Sure there was some teeth pulling regarding the new recruits because Shigaraki wanted nothing to do with people obsessed with Stain. Funny how he was living up to his name by leaving this undesirable stain on Shigaraki's organization. But he couldn't complain, they had to replenish their numbers even if it wasn't ideal. Besides this plan was their chance to prove their capabilities and, for Shigaraki, flex the might of his new leadership.

Still he couldn't help but feel anxious. He stayed glued to their communicators with Kurogiri, scratching furiously as Kurogiri tried in vain to assure him that the plan would work. How could they possibly be prepared to be attacked like this? They were complacent even when being cautious. That the Vanguard Action Squad would win because the teachers (and some troublesome students) wouldn't be able to go up against unknown quirks.

It's not until they get the signal and Kurogiri warps away to bring home the squad that Shigaraki finally calms down and finds his composure. He silently counts the number of members who came back (a noticeable few are missing), watches as Mr. Compress and Kurogiri deal with Bakugou (so angry...), and then there's Dabi with a disheveled looking man (who dat?).]


Dabi. Who on Earth did you bring back? Oh. [Shigaraki crouches down next to Aizawa, using a single finger to lift up the pro hero's head. He's not particularly afraid of having his quirk erased. Not when the other had been tied up and especially not when he had a student at his mercy.] So you brought him back like I asked? Thank you.

[Bakugou might have been their primary target but he did say that other students would be bonus points for this level. One particular student would be worth extra bonus points.]

[He stares at Aizawa for a good while, using that one finger to play with the other's head. By digging into the underside of his chin, he's able to lull the teacher's head from one side to the other. It's like he's looking him over like one would a prized race horse or making sure he was lucid.]

Good work, Dabi. Leave him here for now.

[As Dabi steps away- four fingers grip Aizawa's chin, forcing his head to look at the scene Bakugou's causing with two of the members. Mostly Bakugou swearing as they lock him into similar shackles used at the sports festival. The other is probably too busy trying to escape or threatening to kill every villain in this bar to notice his teacher is also there.]

You try anything and I mean anything, I won't hesitate to kill the kid. Understood? Cool guy?

[Of course he doesn't want to kill Bakugou, he has plans and he's hoping his plans work out well. But he knows how Aizawa was willing to sacrifice his body, even his own life, to protect those brats.]

[That gets a low laugh out of Shigaraki, like Aizawa was a friend who made a bad pun.]

Well that's for him to decide, isn't it? [His grip tightens on Aizawa's chin.] I'm not going to let the little brat make a mess of things either.

[It wasn't much but it was sort of a promise. If Bakugou didn't try to murder his colleagues, Shigaraki wouldn't have to lay a hand on him either. Not that he wanted to. He and Bakugou had business later once they've all had a small break from their efforts. His grip slackens little by little until he lets go of the other with a satisfied hum. Shigaraki sits back on the balls of his feet, gently scratching his face as he just stared at the pro hero. He's got a lot on his mind between wrapping up his recruitment plans and deciding what to do with the man before him. It's while he's lost in his train of thought that he notices the scar underneath Aizawa's eye.

Doesn't take long for him to reach out again, thumbing the scar with child-like curiosity.]


Ah. Did my Nomu do this?

[He sounds gleeful about it.]
retrievearms: (what a lovely time)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-07 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? I'm the one who told him to do that. [Luckily for Aizawa, he's not taking it as an offense to him and is treating it like Aizawa doesn't know any better.] But ah I'm so glad to hear you survived. Isn't that cool? You were beaten by my Nomu and survived!

[His thumb digs sharply into the scar, as if to search for the damage underneath the skin. He's also testing it to see if Aizawa still has any pain. Seeking for a reaction of any sort; really he just wants more to be happy about because it shows him what his Master was trying to explain to him. That sometimes losing and retreating is ok because you get to see how you grow from the experience.]

You're lucky, you know? He was bio-engineered to kill All Might.
retrievearms: (that it would surely be)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-07 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Aizawa struck a nerve finally because Shigaraki pulls his hand back like he'd just touched a hot stove. He brings the hand to his mouth, gritting his teeth as he silently seethed over the truth. Shigaraki's own scars from that day showing on his hand where he'd been shot. His Nomu didn't finish the job. Not only that but his Nomu was captured. So close. So fucking close. He'd done all that work only to have spent all his resources on a botched assassination attempt. Just thinking about that day is enough to send him into his own despair. Twitching madly, he's ready to scratch away at his rage. Try as he might the little self control he has isn't enough to contain himself.

But then his Master's words ring clearly in his mind. Information. They'd learned things that day. It's okay to fall as long as you stand back up.]


Oh. But he sure came close didn't he? Damn close.

[Shigaraki pulls his hand away from his mouth and moves to stand up, glaring down at Aizawa.]
retrievearms: (smile while you suffocate and die)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-07 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yes and more. [He snaps his fingers.] Kurogiri. Take care of our friend won't you? Before I decide he's not cool enough to be around anymore.

[Shigaraki needs time to recompose himself. Even if he was able to successfully pull himself out of the emotional tantrum, he's still reeling with anger and he's not about to fuck up his future plans by killing Aizawa out of rage.]

We'll talk again soon enough, hero.

[As he speaks, Aizawa is sinking into the black warp gate that just conveniently opened up beneath him, sending him to a dark room. It looks like someone's bedroom, or a computer room for the lack of anything related to a bed. Everything's locked- doors, computer, even the small filing cabinet near the desk. The only thing that really appears to be 'on' or working is a small tv near the desk that displays "SOUND ONLY." Ironic considering the mute symbol is bouncing across the screen like one of those old dvd screensavers. Other than that, the tv can't be changed or turned off, and occasionally flickers.

Looks like Aizawa's just going to have to wait to get his audience with the leader of the league again. He only has to wait an hour or so before the sound of a door knob is heard. At the same time the mute symbol disappears from the screen.]
retrievearms: Choke (and that would just be fine)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-07 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[The door opens with a force hard enough for it to bang against the wall of the room, bouncing in such a way that Shigaraki can swiftly step in and close the door in the same movement. As it closes behind him it locks with a heavy click.

Hands clenched into knuckle white fists, Shigaraki is visibly shaking. He looks even more pissed then he did earlier with red eyes on the verge of being bloodshot from the festering anger inside of him. Looks like something didn't go according to plan. Or maybe he really did let his annoyance with Aizawa's earlier jabs simmer until it reached a boiling point. It's a bit of both actually. Not that Shigaraki would ever care to admit that.

His hands go up to his neck, scratching with such a fury that one might think he's trying to claw his own neck out. Muttering incomprehensible gibberish as he tried to talk out his anger and thoughts. For a second, he's completely forgotten he has company. But when he realizes Aizawa is in this very room, he stops dead in his tracks.

Slowly he looks around the room until he spots the figure sitting in the dark. The league leader cants his head slowly.]


Ah. Yes. I forgot I had a guest. How rude of me.

[There's an eerie calmness in the way he speaks that would give one whiplash with the way he so easily shifted from anger to calm.]

Though I am not as rude as your student.
retrievearms: (and lock the fire escapes)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-07 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. That's right. If manners were part of the curriculum, he wouldn't sound so much like myself.

[The way Bakugou threatens to murder everyone, to the rage he has when things don't go perfectly. It's similar to Shigaraki in a way. But that's where their similarities end even if Shigaraki doesn't fully comprehend that himself.

Each of them envisioned different futures and had made different choices to achieve that.

Speaking of choices...]


He's extremely ungrateful! We went through all this trouble just for him and he doesn't even want to listen to us.
retrievearms: Choke (me that seven sins are deadly)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-07 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I'm not asking for gratitude.

[He muses. Shigaraki isn't a fool, he knows no one is going to be thankful that they've been forcibly kidnapped. But what choice did they have if they wanted an audience with Bakugou? The ungratefulness came from Bakugou unwilling to listen to their reasons for bringing him there. His blindness to their plights and struggles, or how the shackles of society are unjust.]

I'm just asking for an understanding. Its'- well. You wouldn't understand.

[He sits down at the chair by the desk, rolling towards Aizawa. Honestly this feels like one of those stereotypical hero movies where the villain sits in a fancy chair. He leans in close to the other like he's about to tell a secret with his fingers laced together. Thumbs jutted out. Purely by habit.]

Tell me hero. How do you think society would react if one of U.A.'s greatest was successfully recruited into my League? Be honest.
retrievearms: (so bite your tongue)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-07 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunate since you're so good at your job.

[He still remembers how Aizawa dove in to save the kids at USJ, how a quirk meant for stealth and surprise took on all his former colleagues without breaking much of a sweat. So it's a real compliment and not at all meant as a mockery of the teacher. He'd also heard from Dabi and Twice how valiantly Aizawa fought at the camp to protect his students once more.]

Of course. You know I've already done that? Without even finishing my goals here. The media is going wild with how U.A. has let villains attack their students twice.

[Too bad that beloved hand of his on his face is hiding that smirk. All things considered, things were still on track. Just as he'd predicted.]

Hey. If they fire you, I'll hire you. A quirk like yours can't be so easily erased, wouldn't you agree?

[Haha erased. Get it? Because he erases quirks?]
retrievearms: (that it would surely be)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-07 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shigaraki leans back in his chair like Aizawa had said something foul. Pushing back into the chair until he's on the verge of toppling it over. But it doesn't. Instead he uses the strange behavior as a way to think clearly. It's not like he can get offended that the hero didn't just drop over willingly and if he did? Well... there'd be some serious issues. Further and further he pushes back until he lets the springs bounce him up from the abuse of the chair.]

Can't have that. [He says as a matter of fact.] What would make you reconsider?
retrievearms: (smile while you suffocate and die)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-08 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[He wasn't expecting such an honest answer and it catches him briefly off guard.]

You know what my goals were for attacking you at USJ, right? [Killing All Might namely.] Kill All Might and go home. I didn't know All Might wouldn't be there.

[He crosses his leg. Aizawa might have been right about a lot of things but Shigaraki was determined to correct him this time.]

I did care... you know I lost all my members in that attack. Everything I worked hard for ruined because I'd been lied to. About a lot of things. And I would have retreated with every last man that I could bring back. But I'd been shot by your fellow teachers who showed up. You can't continue a game if you get a game over.

[If it weren't for his immaturity, he'd sound pretty genuine. Like he actually cared for nameless thug who could shoot bullets out of his fingers or mourned the loss of sharky and the fish boys. Somedays he did kick himself over losing that many game pieces in one gamble. But it was mostly a kid crying that his toys had been broken by the other kids after he'd started playing rough with their toys.

There's a small crackle from the TV. "Shigaraki Tomura."]


Hmm, Master?

[He spins in his chair to face the TV, unnecessary since it still only reads as SOUND ONLY.]
retrievearms: (that it would surely be)

[personal profile] retrievearms 2018-07-08 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
["Kurogiri just informed me of the success of your mission."]

Master, It's not over yet. I haven't successfully finished it yet.

[Whoever is on the other line of the audio is calm despite Shigaraki's distress in his voice. Speaking like a mentor would to their student who isn't happy with the results of their test despite an obvious growth or success.

"No, Shigaraki Tomura. Remember what we discussed? Take it a step at a time. You have done what no other person has done in recent history and you will do well to remember that." Shigaraki makes a noise like he wants to protest but the other voice doesn't give him a chance. "Katsuki Bakugou, right? Have you decided what you will do with the boy?"]


Yes. But that fucking brat doesn't want to listen. He just wants to be like All Might and it's just-

[He slams his foot down on the floor, only to be interrupted.

"Kurogiri remarked how well you handled that incident. Know that I am very proud of you. I know you'll get through to him. Sometimes these things take time. You must trust in your decisions like I trust you." It seems like they're well versed in the tantrums and mentality of Shigaraki because they don't give him an inch to protest or whine. "I heard the Vanguard Action Squad also captured two pro heroes? A teacher and someone else? Is that true?"]


Yes. The teacher... he's right here, Master. I'm trying to get him to listen.

[He looks down at Aizawa menacingly, daring him to interrupt this conversation.

"As I said before I trust you. I will support you in whatever you may need. But if the teacher becomes a liability, please consider giving his quirk to me. I need to finish up a few things here but do not hesitate to ask me for help."

Shigaraki nods at the screen, watching as the bouncing mute symbol appears again. He's quiet, listening to the sound of his own breath as he takes in everything that's been said to him. He wasn't done yet but... Master had been proud of what he'd set out to do. Slowly, he turns back to Aizawa, leaning forward again.]


So what am I going to do with you, hero? You heard my Master. You're a liability. But I believe that you're useful to us alive.
