Breathless in a Crowd - Podfic (MHA)

Hello everyone, this is a podfic of the one-shot Breathless in a Crowd by thetrainduck on A03.
This fic shows Izuku suffering from a panic attack after being left by his classmates on the trip to the mall.
He is helped by a stranger, who turns out to be Shigaraki.
This is not technically specified as a shigadeku fic. It's ambiguous, but you can definitely interpret it that way if you'd like. I really enjoy fics that show a spin on what happens during their interaction at the mall.
Hope you all enjoy as well!

Izuku this entire fic: Oh, its the person that tried to kill me and my classmates. 😶Oh well, anyways...

[@fitzc8853]

Izuku "I cant even do physical contact" Want my number? LOL🤣 This was so sweet though

[@Ella-gw3me]

"I'm not THAT insensitive"

[@Confuzeled_Assist]

After he rocked up saying he was about to murder the number 1 and perfectly willing to murder students to get to him.. like a video game Shiggy was bluffin I think but dam if it was convincing enough

I had to pause 15 different times to talk myself into listening to the rest of the fic chanting "I can't I can't I can't" into my hands the whole time

[@winterzaveri783]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one 😂😂😂

[@maudemadeleine1389]

I absolutely love fic’s where the villain has a chance or an interaction that shows that they aren’t heartless monsters ( I personally love. Mission failed ( well get them next time) I highly recommend it)

1) here before rat’s dad ha 2) i friking adore deku & shigaraki based fics i think they’re such interesting parallel’s especially if you subscribe to the red shoe theory but even without it they’re really just two kids inheriting a battle that was never theirs to begin with and it’s so tragic and beautiful

[@AJM333x2]

yes but on 2 they make a great ship or sibling dynamic two sides to the same coin if you will

[@screamingmadvoid]

@@AJM333x2 they really do! it’s really the “we are more alike then we are different and in another life i bet we’d have been amazing” energy that works for the sibling hood or romantic dynamic

[@evobrand1210]

I love it too. Not a big fan of the ship due to the age gap, but i can't deny that it's interesting. And they make great siblings, especially in Dad for One stories. I like to imagine that, at some point, unaware of it, AFO and Allmight just kind of switched "their" kids around and nobody noticed the irony. Two (theoreticaly) quirkless kids that were picked up by people lager than life, who they idolize and gain a quirk from, following their footsteps. I wish there were more stories were they bond over all that stuff because ut is literally *right there* now get along already. That's a lot of words to say I absolutely love reconsile

aw this was so sweet you really do bring so much lifeness to theese fics thank you soo much for podficing them its always so amazing to listen. Make sure you take care of yourself swell.

I wonder what their call would sound like 😂

Man! I wish there was a part two!

[@fandomfixation2875]

I absolutely loved this. Some of my favourite podfics are ones where the villain helps out the hero, they show that villains aren't monsters.

[@HieiIsMINE]

Ditto I love fics like this as well ever since I read the Neutrality Order series. The first fic is crack taken seriously and then the rest of it is just serious. If you're looking for something else in this vein to podfic I recommend it.

[@PutYourHandsUpPodfics]

Neutrality order is such a great series!! 💚

This could be turned into a really cute shigdeku fic

[@blackfalconotaku4392]

Well I have not written in a while. And re listening to this podfic inspired me to write a one. I wrote the first chapter. It's short and my spelling is terrible and I refuse to publish any fanfic that is incomplete but I wrote it. A whole first chapter plot. Do I know what psychologically I made wrong with izuku in the fic? nope... I just increased the intensity of something that happens to me on a regular basis. I don't know what it is psychologically that happens but it's similar to a lot of things. It's like disassociating but kind of like regressing but kind of personality changing ish but also like unmasked autism but also a little like derealization? I don't know what's wrong with me but I made izuku have it and have an episode in the mall and kind of freak out shigiraki into having humanity. Basically a souped-up version of me accidentally getting the popular girls in high school to see me as a human being they could have meaningful conversations with. Anyway I love mall fanfic and I need to see a good psychologist. Hopefully I'll actually finish this fanfic and then maybe he'll publish it afterwards not that I think I'll have any answers to my psychological dilemma by the time that happens.

[@valerietenebris5252]

Wait, are they just flirty friends or activelly flirting?
