this class can fit so much trauma

Summary:

in which the bakusquad gets together (eventually), background characters have minor arcs, and aizawa just needs his class to be okay. (they will be, eventually.)

also known as i wrote a chatfic for my angst series, for some reason

 

aka that one chatfic where half of them are high all the time sorry

Notes:

alternate title: lake tries to write 20+ characters with semi-distinct voices for their audience of exactly one (1) person. hi rach!

some notes for those of you who are new here:
- they're in roughly mid-to-late November of their second year! we're living in a ill-defined AU where the war wrapped up fairly neatly near the end of their first year. mostly canon up to s5 of the anime, and twice and midnight both survived!
- Sero is a ward of UA with partial custody given to their mother. their dad and Aunt Nobuko suck. they have an older sister named kazuyo who is in the support course. the full story is over in faded but you shouldn't need to read that to get it. this fic picks up a couple of days after that one ends.
- other wards of UA are Bakugou (leavemealone), Aoyama (one corn chip), todoroki (experiment 626), and monoma ((nomom)onma)
- Hitoshi relapsed a couple of months ago (as seen in power through) and is still kind of under mental health watch. he is the adopted son of Aizawa and Mic.
- i tried to keep most of the chat names pretty clear, but let me know if ya'll would like a key anyway
- stoner chat (salad with the devil) is made up of Midoriya (haha green), Sero (weedslinger), Sato (munchies personified), Shinsou (cannavoid), and Jirou (soundwaves)
- Uraraka types in txtspk because she has a flip phone! we're ignoring the fact that flip phones don't use groupchats though. for funsies.

BIG DISCLAIMER: I started writing this fic in 2022 and this series in like 2021, so a loooot of things that became canon are Not canon in this fic. (the biggest ones being that the LOV are all alive and in jail and Mido still has his quirk & will become a pro with the rest of his class) just btw

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
