That One Sister (Discontinued/Abandoned)

Announcement

Hey everyone, this isn't an update, just an announcement as the title says.

I haven't touched this story in a long time, quite frankly because I'm far from proud of it and it makes, not a lot of sense.

I started this story four years ago, when I was anime-only. I didn't know about All For One's Quirk when I started this story, I didn't think too much about the actual world MHA/BNHA takes place in. So, my understanding of what was happening shows –– or lack thereof. I just wanted to write a "Bakugo's sister!!!" fanfic because I'd seen them before and they looked like fun.

The story started off with Katsuki and Ketsuka living with abusive parents. It's badly portrayed domestic and emotional abuse, because I tried to write about something I didn't do much research on, much less understand. And for that, I'm disgusted with what I've written.

When I started this, Mitsuki and Mamoru hadn't debuted yet in the anime. They arrived in 2017, after I had already started this story up and its first few chapters. So I tried to add a few components to it as I learned more and more about Katsuki in the anime. I dropped a few hints for a whole plot I wasn't sure how to carry out, and unsurprisingly nobody thought much about them because I didn't particularly place much emphasis on the one or two clues I placed down.

The USJ visit was badly done, the gun suddenly appearing made no sense (questioning why she has a gun I feel is marginally less important than the fact that any of the students could easily murder the average person, by burning them for example, but yes I can definitely see where those comments are coming from), as did the shrinking outfit, as did, basically everything else that happened. Why was Ketsuka able to help take it down, someone with an appearance changing Quirk and not something that would actually help her in a fight?

I've long since been avoiding updating this because of how much I've grown to have a strong distaste it, to put it lightly. As time passed I tried to refine the way I write to try and make an effort to improve this story but it didn't make me like it any more or hate it any less.

I appreciate all the support, the comments, the votes I've gotten because of this story but I really don't want to touch it anymore. It had no direction, no clear understanding of the series, and while Ketsuka and Katsuki's relationship I felt pretty fine with, that was the only thing I saw that was really "working" here.

I'm going to discontinue this story, and I might rewrite it, but the chances I will are low given that I've fallen out of MHA/BNHA.

Since I realized what and why I hated about this story, I returned to the domains of One Piece about two and a half years ago, and I have been very involved in Captain Tsubasa (a classic soccer/football/calcio manga that's been going on since '84) for a bit over one year now. I've been focusing primarily on them, and I've grown relatively inactive on Quotev.

That One Sister is, in my mind, paired with another one of my stories, Be Very Careful, a Todoroki Shouto/F!Reader fanfiction that I like a great deal more. The fact that I didn't know about All For One's Quirk does actually show in the first chapter, but other than that minor issue I feel much better about that story than this one. While I have issue with the fact that I didn't think much about what message surrounding child/arranged marriage in a romance fanfic, it feels generally much more natural and better overall, so while I'm still not very likely to update that one either, that story won't be officially discontinued until I solidly feel I won't have anything to add onto it.

All of that being said, I'll summarize –– I hate what I've done in this story and I don't intend to update it ever again. Assuming I ever want to actually go over That One Sister more in the future, it would be in the form of a complete rewrite. Key elements would be the same, such as Ketsuka's Quirk, her relationship with Katsuki, and her dynamics with the other characters. However, some other things such as domestic life, writing style, and portrayal of thoughts and emotions would hopefully be drastically different and greatly improved. But I still can't guarantee that rewrite will ever come to be, because as it stands, That One Sister has been locked away into the depths of my mind as one of my greatest regrets, and I don't intend to ever update this version ever again.

Again thank you so much for reading this story and being supportive of it, even if I myself couldn't possibly find it in myself to agree, I'm sorry it ended up like this but I really just can't see myself ever trying to continue That One Sister anymore. Thank you, and have a good day.
