Self Indulgent OC Fic Sneak Peak
The thing that follows lives in her dreams, and as far as she knows, that is the only place that it can hurt her.
Well, maybe not literally, she thinks to herself, spindly legs trudging wet sand, bare feet so heavy that there may as well be weights tied to her ankles. Maybe it’s just a stupid illusion, a stupid Dreamscape Monster Come to Half-Life. This is a dream, she reassures herself. And Hinoka knows it's just a dream because of the feeling in the air. Like she's living on the static channel on the TV. And the thing that follows sounds the most staticky of all things that follow in her dreams. 
It's always the same thing when it shows up to stalk her—it's the long hallway. The doors parallel to one another, unable to be opened no matter how she tugs or twists the knobs. The long walk in search of a soft place to fall, hopping creaks and cracks, clearing any and all targets on her back. Clearing targets even though it never fully washes off. The Thing That Follows seems always to see it no matter what. 
It’s tall, whatever it is, and walks on two legs, based on the rhythm. It moves at a snail’s pace, but never far behind. She’s sure she could see its face if she bothered to look back. She never dares to turn around to look it in the eyes. 
It smells like smoke in the dreamworld. Smoke and flames and her childhood, of sweet melon and honey, in the faintest of ways. Maybe other people's dreams smell different, Hinoka thinks to herself as she trudges, no longer with the energy to run. Maybe they smell like their childhoods and less like smoke. 
She walks fast in her dream instead, as fast as she can, away from the following creature, listening to her own steps, her bare feet leaving behind footprints in the hallway, only to fade quickly, like ocean waves have come to wipe them away. 
The hand belonging to The Thing That Follows reaches for her.
Sometimes she swears she hears the ocean. 
The Thing That Follows breathes softly on the back of her neck.
Sometimes she swears she hears sweet voices long unheard, unsettled, calling her name—
Hinoka.
Hinoka.
Hinoka.
“Hinoka.” 
The voice that calls her name is like the rush of waves as they draw from shore for an impending tsunami.
"Wake up." 
With a gasp, the black haired girl’s eyes fly open, her breath caught in her throat. Her vision is blurry, as with every other very early morning. But when it clears, she's greeted with the wood ceiling, the spindle-thread thin sliver of light of sunrise painting her room less black and more very dark purple. She shifts, turning, only to see…
Oh.
"U-Uncle Kagero?" She asks, slowly sitting up. He glowers down at her.
HI HELLO This is a sneak peak of a new project that I've been wanting to do for years. Essentially, I created my main My Hero Academia oc when I was about 15 or 16 and since MHA has been one of my main hyperfixations for the last ~2-3 years (maybe 4 idk) I decided to finally just. Write some self indulgent oc fanfic
When will this project be posted? No clue. Will it be posted soon? Probably not. Is it canon divergent? Indeed.
I am trying to unravel years worth of self-consciousness and stepping out of my comfort zone so when this fic goes live, I will post it here. Maybe I'll even have a poll to decide on a title idk
SO YEAH i guess this is my way of introducing one of my ocs gxgdkhfkhdy
