A book of half baked story ideas, mangled drafts, and such of that like! Basically a place to dump headcanons, one shots, and story notes if anyone is interested!

Title: 🎯🔫‼️🔥
Summary: Mariella knows putting up a Craiglist ad looking for a roommate is probably a bad idea, but it's not like she's had any luck anywhere else. She needs to save money if she doesn't want to go into school debt, and if that means inviting a potentially shady stranger to split rent with her? Well... then so be it. If she's lucky, maybe she'll even get a new friend out of it!
Or: Dabi needs a place to call his own for cheap. He finds one— he just didn't think he'd have to share it, and certainly not with optimism incarnate.
Notes:
-So this all happens before Dabi joins the League
-ish
-Mariella is the definition of shy optimism. If there is a bright side, she's looking right at it. That's probably the only reason she agrees to let Dabi live with her in the first place. Dabi is Lowkey disgusted with her cheerful outlook
-Like they live in a one bedroom, one bathroom ramen box. The roof leaks in one corner. Dabi looks like shit and is honestly mean as hell, and their fridge sucks. Why is she still smiling.
-They initially meet up in a public place, at a cafe. Dabi is 101% expecting a 6'5" tatted guy with a killer quirk, because someone like that wouldn't be afraid to post an ad on Craigslist of all places for something as personal as living together, or a tweaky drug addict or something.
-Imagine his surprise when Mariella pops up and is like "You must be Dabi! It's so nice to meet you!" and just fr shakes his hand. Does not give one singular shit about his scars.
-He's like "Girl didn't you say it's one room. Like a studio apartment. Like we're going to be sharing a space even when we sleep."
-And she's like "Yeah but don't worry! I already have a second bed! And I promise I don't snore!" As though THAT'S what he was worried about
-Half the reason he says yes is bc if he doesn't, someone else is gonna come fucking kill this chick in her sleep. His bed is like less than ten feet away from hers.
-Also the rent is mega cheap but pretending Dabi cares in the beginning is cute too
-it's fanfiction I can do what I want
-The place is decent. Like it's not great or anything, but it's better than the mold infested place Dabi was staying before. Mariella never asks about where he works, nor does she try to get his name on the lease
-She just let's him hand her cash and she handles it. Honestly a little concerning, but Dabi isn't here to complain. He's here to profit
-😏
-No I'm kidding
-(😏💦)
-The thing with Mariella is that she treats him like they've been best friends their whole lives on the first day he moves in. She treats everyone like that. And Dabi can't kill her, or be mean to her even, because she could kick him out. So he just sits there and politely nods a bunch
