The multiverse is a frightening concept we know very little about. Where, many different universes have endless alternate versions of themselves. However, what happens when two different universes share the same alternate universe?
And what if a mysterious being can show these different universes such a bizarre universe?
All For Luz Reaction, a.ka. Reacting to "All For Luz" is a fanfic off the The Owl House and My Hero Academia crossover All For Luz, written by Endstray. The premise is a "Let's Watch Our Show" Plot where during the Season 2 finale; a powerful inter-dimensional entity named Enderverse has brought Luz, the residents of the Owl House, the Hexsquad, Camila Noceda, The Collector and Emperor Belos to watch the story in a cinema in his dimension and learn more about the Alternate Universe. Not only that, but a certain supervillain is brought along, too.
