Here you go! A few of my muses.. Less fleshed out this time, but thought they were interesting anyway ^^ Not sure if they would turn out to be played in serious tone or end up crack, but that's up to you, even whether you use them or not.
============= Loop Alpha. Idea A + B
Idea A- When MHA IL Admin was in a bad mood & needed series of short loops for a bug fix that is minor but takes a lot of work. Admin is stressed & needs an outlet, as well as tad a bit vindictive as this is caused by a 'too stupid to live' looper in a loop that did not even happen in MHA branch.. But the sheer aftermath of the disaster was such that the effects were felt by various branches of Yggdrasil. (stress fed off by each other's stresses among Admins, maybe?)
Idea B- With so many ppl playing with idea 'AfO is Midoriya Hisashi' and generally having various ideas on the absent father, surely world-crossing/travelling (for whatever reason) Izuku would stumble on some of them..? ==== Loop Alpha + 0 : Izuku meets a 'Midoriya Hisashi' for the first time since the looping began.. His blood freezes cold when he came face to facte with AfO (or, a video chat after AfO got injured by All Might? Whatever version Izuku recognised 'Hisashi' as AfO) The loop finishes early due to 'noodle incident' or in a sufficiently horrifying manner that he prioritises finding out about Hisashi next loop. ==== Loop Alpha + 1 : Second loop has a random supervillain!Hisashi. Izuku hesitantly theorises his father is always a villain of a kind. Another BAD END- Maybe related to Chisaki, if Eri is included in the loop? Not as horrifying as first, but this makes Izuku to swear that he will approach more carefully next time. ==== Loop Alpha + 2~Final : After series of villain!Hisashi of varying level (perhaps one of them included frequent jaywalker. IDK, Admin is taking stress out on poor Izuku), with AfO and similar level of supervillains liberally mixed in, and almost always horrifying, embarrassing or downright humiliating ends, Izuku concludes that ignoring existence of his father is the best policy, as the said absent father doesn't tend to appear in his life unless he asks.. ==== Loop Alpha - Final + 1 : Admin is done with bug fix, and Izuku is getting hang of escaping his villain!Fathers, despite dying horrifically numerous times due to many pitfalls of having a dangerous villain as father. But for shits and giggles, Admin arranges looping to happen in a specific world, for one final time.. Without any fanfare or Izuku's actions that drew attention to him, on the day Izuku was Awakened.. *KnockKnock* "Inko! Surprise!" AfO enters house as a surprise visit, maybe used service of Eri who was Awakened earlier than Izuku in this particular loop (due to a stealth anchor?). Cue frustrated scream of Izuku.
============= Loop Beta. Idea C + D
Idea C- Dadzawa, Dadmight, Dadmic.. There are so many parental teacher fics in MHA. Why isn't there a support group made of senior pro heroes, to look after many, many youngsters that the caring pro heroes inevitably picked-up during course of their professional careers?
Idea D- Izuku just wants to have a vacation loop for a change, not- whatever this crazy loop is. And why does it feel like EVERY pro hero within fifty mile radius seem to zone on him and deposit him back to U.A. dormitory whenever he is out of supervision- as in, trying to escape his 'guardians' to hide in an undeveloped, uninhabited island for a vacation!? (Late Awakening resulting in Izuku Awakening after he was living in U.A. dorms) He just wants his vacation! Away from EVERYONE! Meanwhile, Eri is having a perfect vacation loop without realising Izuku's frustrations and sufferings after their agreement to have current loop as a vacation loop, spoiled rotten by various pro heroes that often drops by.
============= Loop Delta. Idea E + F
Idea E - Time-travelling, looping Izuku, trying to save All Might. (If you are familiar with it, it's PMMM's Homura-ish scenario, except instead of Kyuubei, this was caused by a wish-granting quirk and Izuku's wrong wording- his wish granted Izuku endless chance to save All Might, but did not give Izuku ability to save All Might's life. Worse still, the loop begins a couple hours before All Might's first battle with AfO, and there is no guarantee that this looping will end when AfO is killed/imprisoned without All Might suffering crippling injuries, as career of Pro Hero is full of dangers.. (And maybe, after a couple hundred years, Izuku even forgot the exact wording of his wish.. Maybe not.) Izuku knows that if he doesn't do anything out of 'ordinary' for a few years, All Might, crippled, will eventually arrive at Mustafa and save Izuku from slime villain & making him ninth inheritor of the OfA, but he rejects the idea after a few runs and decides to save All Might before initial injury.)
Idea F - The first time Izuku encountered 'localised loop' within IL- He had heard of a couple of cases, as in timeline resetting instead of being dropped in different parallel verse. He knew that he had to break the localised loop to continue looping properly/safely. But for him, rather than an easy scenario that could get him used to new circumstances, his first experience was a living nightmare. If he hadn't gotten different arsenal of skills and items from various previous loops, this would have been truly never-ending nightmare.. (Even then, it took Izuku multiple tries.)
