(I forgot I had this It was in my Google docs and found it)
1. This wasn't the first version of Cherish, Before settling for the one i made I wrote out four other ideas:
a. This first one was about John Kramer in a world with quirks and he would take on two apprentices which would have been Mei and Hitoshi, the three would punish the heroes and villains as we go through the first three movies.
b. The second version follow Bakugo as he tries to figure out who is targeting him and his classmates and putting them in death games, at first his search goes no where until he finds out Izuku is in the Support Department (This universe Izuku fails All Might's test but the hero helps him get into the school but not in the hero course). After talking to him and looking at the stuff Izuku's made he believes he's the Jigsaw killer and goes out to prove it which would lead into a big game featuring all of the Bakusquad, they all die except for Bakugo who in the end sacrifices his quirk to save Izuku after discovering he's in a trap too, he cuts off his own hands to save his best friend. As Bakugo lay dying from bloodlust Izuku tries to save him but is knocked out by the true Jigsaw killer revealed to be Mei and Hitoshi, the two explain why their both doing this before he dies but suddenly Mei betrays Hitoshi knocking him out and killing him making it look like he committed suicide. Years later Mei and Izuku are married and are with children but one day their kids are playing in the attic and find a the pig costume underneath the floorboards, they show it to their father who simply says it's a Halloween costume and takes it from them then simply hides it back in the attic, he has known Mei is the Jigsaw killer for awhile but does not have the heart to arrest her.
c. Version C takes place years after UA and Izuku has that big fight Shigaraki that he wins but is badly injured losing a arm and a leg plus he's in a coma. Mei has loved Izuku for years but doesn't have the guts to tell even after his divorce from Ochako, but after seeing him like that Mei snaps and decides to go after the remaining members of the League of Villains under the persona Jigsaw (John Kramer exists in this world but is dead Mei just uses the gimmick and the pig Costume). After killing all of them Mei still isn't satisfied and goes after Ochako and people who she blames for Izuku's current state and eventually kills them as well, after months of recovery Izuku wakes up and is greeted by Mei who has made Bionic limbs and informs him on the demise of his friends and enemies, though sad he is greatful to still have Mei and the two live happily ever after.
D. The last version is the only one where Mei wouldn't be involved in any way, This version is similar to version B but Tenya would be the main character who is trying to figure who is Jigsaw targeting his classmates. he eventually finds out it was Hitoshi, they fight and Tenya accidentally kills him by slicing his throat, this is the only version where the Jigsaw killer doesn't win.
2. Original title was not Cherish but instead Cherish Your Life.
3. Hagakure was going to be the first victim but I changed it to Mineta and Monoma
4. Momo was going to be on the list of victims and so was Manga but I scrapped it.
5. Iida was a last minute add in to the Jigsaws it was going to be Dabi but I went a whole different direction
