History Fanfic / AnInsecureViolet

''An Insecure Violet'' is a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfic by [=MizuToriFNN=] that shows how events of the story would be affected if Izuku had a certain purple rocker standing by his side. It's a Shipping fic which at times can be PlayedForDrama.

* ThousandYardStare: PlayedForLaughs. Izuku was ''gobsmacked'' when learns how great Kyoka is as a singer when she sang during their first date at a music club. Izuku was still staring at the same spot Kyoka was standing on when she came back to sit with him at their table again.

* OppositesAttract: Despite Izuku coming off as EndearinglyDorky, NiceGuy Izuku ends of falling in love with {{Tomboy}}, DeadpanSnarker Kyoka; with the feeling being mutual. Ironically, it's their opposite traits that what end up making them both come closer together. Izuku's kindness eventually causes Kyoka to open up more and learn to be more positive while Kyoka's assertiveness and musical habits cause Izuku to regain his self-worth and overcome his past. Their positive habits are what cause the two of them to be proud of the individuals that they are.

* ACupAngst: Like in canon, Kyoka is insecure of having a small bust size compared to other girls. This is PlayedForDrama here. See AdaptationalAngstUpgrade.

** Kyoka's insecurities of not having large bust or lack of any curves is given more depth here. She's constantly haunted by negative thoughts telling her that she [[IAmNotPretty isn't pretty or beautiful enough]], most clothes she puts on don't feel right on her, and at times thinks that after some time, Izuku will "come to his senses" and leave her for someone better.
** Izuku's past of being the target of FantasticRacism is treated more seriously here and has gone into more depth. On top of that is Izuku's relationship with his mother, Inko. While they are on good terms in canon; here, however, Izuku is pretty distant from his mother as he held some resentment towards her for not supporting his dream of becoming a hero. As a result, Izuku doesn't give Inko the full details on what he's up to most of the time, whether it's dealing with bullies or what he does at his leisure. It takes quite a while before both reconcile.

** Kyoka is a lot stronger here than she was in canon. Due to trying out Izuku's training regime to maintain One For All, Kyoka has a much more muscular physique. [[spoiler:She also gains new support items such as the [[CoolSword Equalizer]] and a Boom Box.]] She later receives [[spoiler: half of One For All's power.]]
** Izuku, to some extent, also becomes this as thanks to Kyoka's assistance, he was able to get better handle on On For All before getting accepted into U.A.High.
* AdaptationExpansion: [[spoiler: Toshinori's past is only shown in brief flashbacks in canon. Here, his past as a Quirkless individual, to his training, his time in America, as well as the early parts of his career as a Pro Hero are revealed and explained in a more detailed manner in the three-parter called "The Almighty Man" which is shown by Nana to Izuku in the vestige realm.]]

** One of the major differences is Izuku's relationship with Mineta. In canon, the pair are friends. Here though, Izuku is largely hostile for Mineta, due to his perverted behavior, but mainly because Mineta frequently demeans Kyoka for her appearance, which pushes Izuku's BerserkButton like nothing else.
** [[spoiler: All Might and Lady Nagant have never interacted with one another in canon. Here, they've known each other during the early days of their hero career where Toshinori just returned to Japan after his training in America and Kaina just got hired by the HPSC to be their hitwoman. They even nearly got romantically involved until circumstances prevented them from being together and Kaina got arrested for murdering the HPSC's chairman.]]
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Kyoka tries to avoid having dinner with her parents when she introduces Izuku to avoid this trope. While Mika and Kyotoku's questioning of Izuku's motives with their daughter were somewhat serious, they later reveal they deliberately behaved this way [[{{Troll}}just to mess with Kyoka]].

** Kyoka's parents, Mika and Kyotoku, are also get more focus with plenty of scenes revolving around them.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Just when Chapter 38 of All Might's story is about to end, Nana yelled "cliffhanger" much to Izuku and by extent, the audience's dissappointment.

* CoolDownHug: When All Might finds out about the reason for [[spoiler: Kaina/Lady Nagant getting arrested]] he could only sag down in depression to which both Izuku and Kyoka could only hug him to cheer him up.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Izuku and Kyoka did everything they could to make sure that Kyoka's parents don't know of their plans so that they can spend of their time together alone at Kyoka's home while her parents are away on their trip. It didn't occur to them that Inko called them while they were away, resulting in her finding out that Izuku wasn't with them.
* DisappearedDad: Izuku reveals to Kyoka that his father rarely visits his family and only communicates through video calls. As time went on, he stopped communicating with his father all together.

* ForWantOfANail:
** In canon, Izuku only managed to come up with Full Cowling during his internship with Gran Torino. Here, he came up with the idea after having a EurekaMoment during one of Kyoka's music lessons.
** Kyoka did her internship with Death Arms in canon. Here, she interns with [[spoiler: All Might]].
** Due to mastering Full Cowling early, Izuku managed to move up all the way into the Sports Festival finals. Albeit, he still lost to Bakugo.
** Momo interns with Edgeshot instead of Uwabami.
** Due to Kyoka's insistence, Mina was allowed to have her Hero name be "Alien Queen".
** During the Final Exam Arc, due to the pair of the making their status as a duo official, Aizawa is no longer able to pair Izuku up with Bakugo, like he wanted, but instead has to pair Izuku and Kyoka together against All Might.

* GuiltyPleasures: Kyoka is normally into punk rock songs but she also likes the pop song "A Thousand Miles" much to her embarrassment. When Izuku finds the song in the playlist of her phone when they first met, Kyoka said she'll kill him if he tells anyone about it.

* HeroicBsod: Izuku [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone breaks down in shock and shame]] when he punches Rokuro in anger when the latter made fun of Kyoka. Fortunately, Kyoka reminds him it's okay to be angry and [[YouAreNotAlone that he's not alone]].
* HiddenDepths: Izuku is apparently a fan of the ComicBook/ScottPilgrim series, having read the comics and even seen the movie and had a crush on Ramona Flowers. Izuku admitted that Kyoka having a hairstyle similar to Ramona is one perk but assures the punk rocker he finds her more beautiful than the hammer girl.
** Ironically, Kyoka starts to slowly become like Ramona Flowers when she decided to add [[spoiler: a hammer]] into her repertoire.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Kyoka constantly wonders how someone as nice as Izuku would compliment and praise her for her looks and personality; something she has hard time believing herself.
* IHaveThisFriend: In order to encourage Koda during their final exams, Bakugo mentions he had this friend who was just as timid and shy as him (obviously refering to Izuku). Despite his awkward nature, that ''friend'' kept getting back up despite other people constantly pushing him down; this gave Koda the courage he needed to go beyond to beat Present Mic.
* TheIncorruptible: Discussed. Kyoka calls Izuku a "force of nature" in awe when she learns how Izuku still remained kind even after dealing with bullies for 10 years of his life. Deconstructed when it's later revealed that Izuku does hold some resentment to his mother for not believing him if he could be a hero or not. This resentment is something Izuku hates about himself.

* InternalReveal: [[spoiler: Izuku and Kyoka reveal to Momo and Ochaco that they are dating on Izuku's birthday]].
* {{Irony}}: After their Final Exam practical has ended, Momo wonders outloud when will Izuku and Kyoka admit their feelings for one another, not knowing they already did that and are in a steady relationship with one another.

** The three-parter: Allmighty Man; revealed that All Might quietly regrets that he never had the opportunity to have a serious relationship before, out of fear of AFO targeting them. Particularly with [[spoiler: Kaina, a.k.a. Lady Nagant]]. He resolved though to find love after AFO was dead, but by that point All Might was crippled, and it was too late in several other respects.

* LoveConfession: Although Izuku and Kyoka have been dating each other for a while, they never specifically confessed to each other that they love each other. Chapter 29 has both of them [[LoveEpiphany internally confess that they're in love with each other]]. It's only until Chapter 34, fittingly titled "I Love You", that they confess to each other at Dagobah beach.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Both Izuku and Kyoka are this to each other with Izuku helping Kyoka's issues regarding her body whereas Kyoka helps Izuku with all his pent up emotions and trauma. The two work well together and Aizawa notes that their love and support for each other has made them improve further rather than hinder them.

* ModelingIsGlamorous: Invoked. During their first outing together, Kyoka points out how modelling is just a way for people to flaunt their looks on to people just to show how prettier they are compared to others. Izuku simply mentions that Kyoka can easily be a model herself for showing off punk outfits and she doesn't even need to wear make make-up to do it either. Kyoka can only look at herself with the camera in her phone and ask what is it that Izuku sees in her.

* NerdsAreSexy: Kyoka admits to Izuku that he's not plain, that she finds him to be rather handsome.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Gran Torino lets Kyoka know how much the girl reminds him of himself before officiakly welcoming her in the Circle of Trust.

** Aizawa maybe strict when it comes to teaching his students but he genuinely wishes for them all to be great heroes. When [[spoiler: Izuku and Kyoka wish to be hero duo]], he admits that their love for each other has helped in drastically improving each other's strengths as well as overcoming their weaknesses and even gives them some advice on how to work better.

** Tenya, Shoto, Denki and Aizawa are the only people who know about Izuku and Kyoka's relationship. Although later they reveal it to more of their closest friends.

** It's revealed that [[spoiler: Nana]] was one for All Might and [[spoiler: Lady Nagant]].

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Unlike in canon, Ragdoll wasn't captured by the League of Villains so her Quirk wasn't taken by All For One.]]

* TheTalk: Mika gives Kyoka a variant of this when Izuku visited their home to have dinner together with Mika warning her daughter of how a surprise pregnancy can ruin a career.

-->'''Izuku:''' ''(jaw dropped)''...I...You just...That's exactly right. I-...I-I mean, that's one-hundred percent correct.

* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: Chapter 44 has a big one where Izuku, thinking he won't be coming back alive from his battle with Muscular after hitting the villain with everything he has, gives Kyoka One For All through a blood stained kiss. Though, instead of transferring completely to Kyoka, a fraction of the power was apparently what she got, while Izuku still has the rest of it.]]
** [[spoiler: The next chapter has Nana reveal that One For All has evolved to the point where it can longer be contained in one person due to shortening their lifespan. At first, Kyoka was worried that she may die, however, Nana assures that she's fine as the Quirk's power has been split in half and now simultaneously exists in both her and Izuku. With Izuku's Quirkless' body acting as a way to negate the lifespan-shortening drawback, Kyoka wouldn't have to worry about living a short life.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: During her internships, [[spoiler: Kyoka lays it on All Might for not being a better mentor to Izuku; it was only then that the hero decides to play a more direct role in his training with Izuku regarding One For All]].
* WhyCantIHateYou: While Kyotoku tries to play the role of the agressive and overprotective father, he eventually learns that trying to hate Izuku is like trying to hate a puppy. He comes to accept the boy as Kyoka's boyfriend but still plays the overprotective father for fun as he insists it's his job as a father.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Himiko Toga becomes this to both Izuku and Kyoka after seeing the two of them covered in blood and now wishing to be a part of their love.

* WhatTheHellHero: During her internships,[[spoiler: Kyoka lays it on All Might for not being a better mentor to Izuku; it was only then that the hero decides to play a more direct role in his training with Izuku regarding One For All]].

** [[spoiler: The next chapter has Nana reveal that One For All has evolved to the point where it can longer be contained in one person due to shortening their lifespan. At first, Kyoka was worried that she may die, however, Nana assures that she's fine as the Quirk's power has been split in half and now simultaneously exists in both her and Izuku. With Quirkless' body acting as a way to negate the lifespan-shortening drawback, Kyoka wouldn't have to worry about living a short life.]]

* ThisExplainsSoMuch: After Kyoka finds out that All Might is Izuku's mentor, she was able to quickly and accurately deduce why All Might is so interested in Izuku and figures out about the latter's entire complex situation.
-->'''Kyoka:''' Holy crap, you have All Might's quirk.
-->'''Izuku:''' I-...What?
-->'''Kyoka:''' You have All Might's quirk, don't you?
-->'''Izuku:''' ''(dumbfounded)''How...How did you-?
-->'''Kyoka:''' You were born quirkless and somehow got a quirk at fifteen, All Might has been training you since before we entered UA, because you said Toshinori has been your mentor before you even cleaned the beach, everyone keeps comparing you to All Might, you weren't surprised when we learned All Might was going to be our teacher, and Mr. Yagi, who I now know is All Might, knows a whole lot about your quirk down to the percentages. All Might has always kept his quirk a secret. And his real name is a secret so no one can look up his records. A passable quirk would be important to keep secret because villains would try to steal such as a strong power, even willing to kill the people who own it just to get to it. And, All Might looked really skinny and he must be middle-aged from how long he's been in the business. He's probably looking for a successor.
-->'''Izuku:''' ''(jaw dropped)''...I...You just...That's exactly right. I-...I-I mean, that's one-hundred percent correct.

** Kyoka is a lot stronger here than she was in canon. Due to trying out Izuku's training regime to maintain One For All, Kyoka has a much more muscular physique. [[spoiler:She also gains new support items such as the [[CoolSword Equalizer]] and a Boom Box.]] It's later cranked UpToEleven, when Kyoka now receives [[spoiler: half of One For All's power.]]

* {{Forshadowing}}: WordOfGod confirms at the end of Chapter 45 that [[spoiler: Kyoka was eventually going to get One For All]] and that all the events of the story up until now were leading to this event. From Kyoka following Izuku's training regime to Izuku stating that he would [[spoiler: be giving One For All to Kyoka should the worst happen.]]
