Love Like Ghosts (Chapter 10) – a Shigaraki x f!Reader fic
You knew the empty house in a quiet neighborhood was too good to be true, but you were so desperate to get out of your tiny apartment that you didn’t care, and now you find yourself sharing space with something inhuman and immensely powerful. As you struggle to coexist with a ghost whose intentions you’re unsure of, you find yourself drawn unwillingly into the upside world of spirits and conjurers, and becoming part of a neighborhood whose existence depends on your house staying exactly as it is, forever. But ghosts can change, just like people can. And as your feelings and your ghost’s become more complex and intertwined, everything else begins to crumble. (cross-posted to Ao3)
There’s something wrong with your house, but you knew that when you bought it. As summer ends and the neighborhood kids go back to school, it begins to feel like there’s something wrong with the neighborhood, too. Keigo and the others haven’t found Dabi’s conjurer yet, and with school back in session and two of the former ghosts in the neighborhood going to and from the same place five days a week, the likelihood that the conjurer will find the neighborhood before he’s found and killed feels higher than it should be. You’re worried about that, distantly. If Garaki comes here, it won’t be you he’s after.
You and Aizawa are monitoring any mention or recurrence of any of the aliases Tomura’s conjurer has gone by, but there’s no sign of him. It also seems to have been a long time since he summoned and bound a ghost. You got sick of running messages back and forth between Aizawa and Mr. Yagi, so you finally introduced them, and through a mix of Aizawa’s contacts, Mr. Yagi’s contacts, and former and current ghosts Hizashi knows, you were able to determine that nobody’s created a new haunt in at least a decade. “I don’t understand,” you said. “Did it go out of style or something?”
“It became too dangerous, most likely.” Aizawa turned to his copy of the map and began marking through former haunts, until the entire map was marked in red. “All of these were destroyed by Mr. Yagi and his master. Any conjurer summoning a ghost in this country over the past hundred years was taking a significant risk. Why would they do that when they could just leave?”
i will never chase after a man but if ever since he was young, he had to come to terms with the fact that there are people in the world who will be born with gifts that will help them advance further in volleyball so now he has to work twice as hard to catch up to them but still manages to put up a great fight against said prodigies but it still isn’t enough so throughout all three years of his high school career he fails to have any substantial game victories to show for it and now he’s traveling to another country located on a completely different continent and he’s all alone and he’s still — if not more — hardworking and extremely tenacious and he’s always loved volleyball but someway, somehow, he got caught up in his mission to show the world that you don’t need talent to be great so he ends up forgetting that volleyball used to be fun and then he goes ahead and gets dual citizenship so he can officially play for argentina in the olympics and now he’s going to play against his own home, against the people he’s known since high school (the team is literally trained by his BEST FRIEND), and he’s also so multifaceted and so much more than the cocky, pompous facade he struts around with and as a high school boy, he also had nothing but pictures of his nephew and the sunset on his camera roll and his favorite quote is “if you’re going to hit it, hit it until it breaks”…. a bitch is becoming a TRACK STAR
