But what if someone took a soul from its deathbed, even on its bed, and gave it a second chance...in another reality, let alone in another body?
That's how I live now. My birth name is never spoken, and only a few needed to recall the name I truly own. Currently, they call me Fallia, or Fumikage Tokoyami. I'm 15 years old and I am in this world of the series My Hero Academia. I died peacefully(?) in my bed for some unknown reason and woke up at midnight in a different bed. If I never knew Isekais, I would have thought I woke up in the wrong bed.
But I'm in a new world now, trying to cope with it. At least Tokoyami himself is here to stick around, and so are my tulpas. But who knows how much can we fuck up canon before it becomes an unrecognizable sludge? Or how long can I hold onto my sanity and beliefs?
Fingers crossed for my plans to cause shenanigans.
~Summary of "Insomniac Reality"
Insomniac Reality
(formerly known as Midnight Runs For Four) is a My Hero Academia Self-Insert Fic, written by SouthSprings_08 on Archive of Our Own.
As the fic summary said, this fanfic has a broken teen trying to live in a heroically broken world, tulpas and the original Tokoyami in tow. chaos ensues, ranging from Ascended Extras to the SI's mindset being somewhat...insane.
For the original project this fanfic is a part of, see Oops, All Self-Inserts.
Note that thanks to the fanfic diversions, Fallia is the name used for the SI Tokoyami on this page, and Fumikage for the actual Tokoyami.
Tropes:
Abusive Parents: Implied and referenced. After the Creature Rejection Clan encounter, Fallia gets some quips and quotes from what their parents tell them in their pre-isekai life, and they mentioned in their narration at that same moment how they could have a better life instead of becoming emotionally numb.
Alternate Universe: Canon be screwed, thanks to 30 or so Self-Inserts running around.
High School: This is My Hero Academia; of course it takes place in UA! And due to UA's reputation, things will get wacky for the best or worst.
Self-Insert Fic: Fallia is a reflection of the author if they were isekai'd in My Hero Academia, taking on the name "Fallia".
Shout-Out: Even if it was not in MRFF itself, Fallia's method of throwing the ball as shown in other fics is calling out Dark Shadow and telling her to throw it by shouting "Dark Shadow, use Yeet!"
Trapped in Another World: It's an isekai...'nuff said. What makes it interesting is that Fallia is amongstthe few whose pre-isekai death is unknown or vauge besides simple dozing off.
