Summary
"I one day wanna see a One Piece AU where everyone actually speaks different languages. Like, perhaps there’s a language that’s spoken in 95% of the world and everyone is bilingual."
Expanding on the above prompt, what would happen if everyone on the Grand Line really did speak different languages? A couple of little explorations done here and there.

In which Midoriya Inko refuses to be an anime mom by cyan96

Summary
Since Izuku turns four a series of Progressively Escalating incidents keep occurring in the Midoriya household. At first, no one makes the connection between the Midoriyas and the incidents, by dint of said incidents being so huge in scale, as befitting of An Appropriately Tragic backstory. Like that mass villain attack that occurred at the mall on Inko’s birthday. And that hostage situation at Tokyo-Disneyland. And that bank robbery after Tokyo Disneyland. The narrative works very hard but Midoriya Inko Does Not Die, because she has common sense and BNHA has things like actually competent law enforcement.
(or: in which the narrative is determined to make Midoriya Inko an anime mom, the headcanon list)

Summary
At least Dick is smiling. It’s a nice smile, with the type of straight, white teeth that only rich kids have. He’s got perfectly symmetrical dimples and his eyes crinkle at the side.
“It’s nice to finally meet you, Dick.” Jason offers his hand to the older teen and wishes, belatedly, that he hasn’t already changed into his dweeby school uniform. “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Dick shakes his hand with the perfect amount of strength, not too hard and not too soft. “I wish I could say the same but it seems like I’m a little out of the loop on manor gossip. And I usually go by Richie, actually,” he tacks on.
“You promised.” Bruce stands in the doorway, his confusion shifting to an expression of hurt. Like, actual, honest to god hurt. “Not at home.”
Richie’s head tilts to the side just a notch. “This isn’t my home anymore. I live in Blud now.”
