My Hero Automata (72 &73)

Whew! Sorry this is a day later than usual, everyone! Technically, the writing was actually done yesterday, but I didn't have time to do a proper editing pass on it until today. Hence the day of delay. It's roughly 6,750 words, so about the typical size for the first update. And it includes an entirely gratuitous but (hopefully) fun lemon!

The 'entirely gratuitous' part was because I added in, in order to fluff the word count a bit. Normally, I don't do that sort of thing. In this case, however, the next event is the MAJOR divergence that's been hinted at and building up in the background of the story. If I'd started on it, we'd have ended up with a two-week cliffhanger, and I didn't want to do that to you all ;-). So I boosted the story 1,000 words or so with a lemon to get it into the usual side range without doing that.

A Quick Note! Momo's Hero Name! It was revealed for the first time here...but I'm not entirely happy with it. Check out the comments section for my reasoning about why it is what it is, and feel free to comment if you think you have a better idea! So far, it's been used exactly twice. So it would still be easy to change it for the moment.

A Quick Note that has nothing to do with My Hero Automata! I haven't announced the Poll Results yet, as I decided to fold the ending of the Displaced Hero relationship poll into the same post. I will be putting the results up tomorrow morning...and final calculation for the Displaced Hero relationship poll will be Midnight tonight. So, in like three hours. Go vote if you haven't already. It's been up for just shy of a month, so no complaining if you didn't get a vote in!

As usual, the new content is attached to this post in PDF and Epub formats. Also as usual, I will update the Master Files in the Pinned Post shortly as well.

Ugh, that's what I get for adding bits on while I'm editing, I guess. Thanks for pointing it out. I fixed it in the master copy.

They were using a smaller run then idea ... -> They were using a smaller room than ideal

Huh, Wellspring was actually the first name I tried and decided against. It just didn't 'feel' strong enough, even if it fit REALLY well with both One for All and her original Quirk. I actually didn't consider the idea of trying it in other languages though. That's a very good thought that I might consider as an option.

I mean I guess Wellsping would work, or Scaturigo, which is just that in latin. Another idea is Anima Locus/Loci which essentially means the soul of a location or idea. The be the thing from which things begin to grow. Just some ideas.

Momo's Hero name! As I mentioned in the main post, it was used for the first time in the story. Currently, that name is 'Keystone.' The reasoning behind its change from cannon (aside from Creati being pretty unoriginal) is that Momo is no longer entirely defined by her original Quirk. Momo wanted to come up with a strong name that would define what she sees herself as becoming. She's more politically savvy and far better connected than All Might, so she doesn't want to become a Pillar of Peace like he did. Instead, she'd aiming to be the foundation. The 'Keystone' of a less fragile era of heroics. Where she isn't the sole person holding up everything. This is fitting both with Izumi being so strong and partnered with her, but also with both of them developing the Scouters and HSN. Even before One for All, both of them had recognized some issues with the system and wanted to correct them. One for All just gave Momo a louder voice in supporting the effort. Hence, Keystone. I don't entirely hate it, but I don't entirely like it either. So I'm open to other ideas that would fit the concept. NO names like 'Genesis' or creation gods. I've seen those used a lot for her, but they all focus on her original Quirk. Not the concept she's trying to embody.
