Fan Reactions

Magnificently well done. You handled the ever-thorny question of Villain!Deku’s motivations in contrast to the very personality traits that make him such a good hero (his empathy, his kindness, the mistreatment he suffered going up against his desire to make sure nobody ever faces the same) with incredible grace in this. I think your grammar needs a little work - though not much, as it improved throughout this fic alone - and your pacing could use a little attention (the abrupt switches between past and present were good, but kind of harsh), but this is one of my top three favorite BNHA fanfics overall, and I’ve re-read it a few times since I found it. Now that it’s complete, I’ll have to do so again. I hope to see more of this universe from you in the future, and if not, I’m looking forward to what you write for BNHA in general. Well done.[2]

It was a fun ride, thanks for all the great cackling that I did in the background while everything went to crap! I will continue to keep a lookout for what you do in the future![3]
Review by wow-thisismylifeiguess on Tumblr:
I just finished reading RougeDruid’s fic ‘Hero Class Civil Warfare’ on Ao3 and I’ve never felt so mentally and physically exhausted from reading a FANFIC. My body is trying to relearn what it’s like to not be constantly tense.
It was fucking fantastic, and as much as I want to scream right now into a pillow, I HIGHLY reccomend it to anyone who hasn’t read it.
I’m just gonna….die now. Pls read the fic. It’s so good.[4]
