Hello everyone, Holly and Pandora here! We wanted to do another collaborative/prompt a day fic like our Lent fic Captured Memories from a couple of years ago and thought it might be fun to do an advent fic together. :) This time we decided to go with My Hero Academia, focusing mostly on Izuku/Ochako but with a smattering of other pairings too. We hope you enjoy it.

Today's prompt is 'present shopping' and this chapter was written by Holly.


Ochako feels like they should have been warned about this... then there wouldn't have been so many death threats from Bakugou. This being London's overcrowded Oxford Street on December the first.

Kirishima and Kaminari took him home on Iida's instruction – "we've been in this country for two days and he's already threatened to murder six people" – while the others went their separate ways to explore their new surroundings and possibly get in a bit of Christmas shopping if they're lucky.

"If I'd have known it was going to be so busy and so crowded I would have worn a hat so it was easier to see my head," Hagakure moans, pulling her scarf from around her neck.

"I hear you girl," Ashido says, "people keep accidentally catching my horns and it's annoying."

"Well at least it's quiet in here," Jiro says. "Where are we anyway?" she adds, looking around.

"Looks like a comic book store," Yaoyorozu says, glancing over shelves and shelves filled with fictional heroes they've never heard of and fictional stories about real life ones.

"Oh my gosh it's All Might!" Ochako squeaks, reaching up to pull a volume of the shelf. Within seconds the rest of the girls are crowding round her, looking at the comic.

"Oh my god it is!" Jiro cries happily.

"Her Majesty's Might," Ochako reads. "Symbol of Peace All Might teams up with Her Royal Highness Elizabeth II in order to take down the nefarious Marquis de Lorne."

"You should get this for Midoriya," Tsu says.

"Oh my gosh yeah!" Hagakure squeaks. "You know he'd love it."

"Um excuse me," Ochako says hailing the attention of the shop owner.

"What can I do for you?" he asks.

"How much is this please?"

"That's a rare All Might comic, only ever published in this country," the shop owner says. "It's ten pounds."

"I'll take it," Ochako says, cheeks pink as she thinks about how happy Izuku will be when he opens it.
