Endeavor Is Scared Of Izuku Fanfiction

Okay, okay, settle down, folks! Grab your lattes and listen up, because I've got a story for you. A story so ridiculous, so utterly bonkers, that you might just spill your perfectly crafted foam art. It’s about Endeavor, the number one hero (well, former number one, ahem), and… fanfiction. Specifically, Izuku Midoriya fanfiction. Yes, you heard me right.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Endeavor? Scared of fanfiction? The guy who literally throws fire for a living? Preposterous! But hear me out. We’re not talking about your run-of-the-mill fluffy romances here. We're talking about the kind of fanfiction that would make even All Might choke on his protein shake.
Let's set the stage. Endeavor, despite his... enthusiastic parenting and questionable life choices, is a proud man. He’s got a brand to maintain! A reputation! He's got to seem like the epitome of strength, the pinnacle of heroism. And then… the internet happened.
Must Read
The Wrath of AO3 (and Other Sites)
Imagine Endeavor, finally learning to navigate the internet (probably with the help of some very reluctant sidekicks), stumbling upon Archive of Our Own (AO3). Or Wattpad. Or Fanfiction.net. He searches his name, naturally. Who wouldn’t? And what does he find? Not the glorious tributes to his flaming fists of justice he expects. Oh no.
He finds… shipping. Specifically, shipping him with Izuku Midoriya. Yes, you read that right. The kid. All Might’s protégé. The one he’s supposed to be mentoring (sort of). This is where the fear, or at least, extreme discomfort, sets in. We’re talking code red, panic stations, “someone get me a therapist and a strong drink” levels of distress.

Now, why the fear? Well, think about it. Endeavor’s image is meticulously crafted. He wants to be seen as the ultimate symbol of power. Fanfiction, especially the… creative kind, strips away that carefully constructed facade. It exposes vulnerability, explores forbidden desires, and often portrays him in ways that are, shall we say, less than flattering.
I mean, some of these stories go wild. We’re talking everything from age-gap AUs to villain Deku corrupting Endeavor to coffee shop romances where Endeavor secretly knits sweaters. The sheer variety is enough to send anyone spiraling into an existential crisis. And the worst part? They exist. Permanently. Lingering in the digital ether, ready to be discovered by anyone with a Wi-Fi connection.

The Real Danger: Public Perception
But it's not just the content of the fanfiction itself that freaks him out. It's the implication of the content. The idea that people are thinking about him and Midoriya in… those ways. The thought of his carefully curated public image being tarnished by the collective imagination of the internet is a nightmare scenario.
Imagine the headlines: "Endeavor's Popularity Plummets Amidst Bizarre Fanfiction Trend!" Or, "Is Endeavor Secretly a Tsundere? Internet Thinks So!" The horror! The absolute indignity!

There's also the fear that someone will actually ask him about it. Can you picture the press conference? "Endeavor-san, how do you feel about the fanfiction where you and Midoriya-kun open a bakery together?" He'd spontaneously combust, I swear.
Fun fact: Did you know that the most popular fanfiction pairings are often the ones that have the most narrative tension? Think of it: Characters with vastly different personalities, goals, or even moral codes. And who fits that bill better than Endeavor and a certain green-haired cinnamon roll?

The Hilarious Aftermath
So, how does Endeavor cope? Probably badly. Maybe he tries to ban all internet access for his family (that definitely wouldn't backfire). Maybe he starts obsessively monitoring online forums, desperately trying to control the narrative. Or maybe, just maybe, he secretly enjoys the attention. Okay, probably not. But the thought is amusing, right?
The real tragedy here isn't the existence of the fanfiction. It's the fact that Endeavor, for all his power and bluster, is ultimately powerless against the internet's boundless creativity. He's a dragon facing a horde of… well, imagine a horde of hyper-caffeinated fanfiction writers armed with keyboards and a very vivid imagination.
So next time you see Endeavor looking particularly grumpy, remember this story. Remember the fanfiction. Remember the power of the internet. And maybe, just maybe, resist the urge to write another story where he and Midoriya are secretly soulmates. Or don't. I'm not your mom. But Endeavor might thank you. Or incinerate you. It's a toss-up.
