Nighthide the Hypnosis Hero
Favorite ships and Tropes
So since Shinsou is more of a side character with no romantic pairing in the show, he is a prime target for the rarest of pairs you have ever seen. I have read several fics with him shipped with several different characters and I'm just going to list out my favorites (and not favorites) and tell you about them here! As well as platonic and familial relationship and tropes that I often enjoy when reading fics about him.
ROMANTIC
ShinKami
Good ol' reliable, but honestly it's kind of gone stale for me. I just think that it could be so much more interesting, but the parallels between this ship and EraserMic are just so strong here with the Loud Blondes that it's not suprising to me how common this ship is. (also see ShinMono)
MonoShin
Loud. Blondes. I'll admit I don't really get this one, mostly because I've read so many fics where the friendship is just too strong and annoying for it to ever be romantic, but it is more interesting than ShinKami WHEN DONE RIGHT! Idk I need recommendations for this ship because I honestly don't read it at all.
ShinDeku
Now we're getting into rare pair territory... I'll admit this one was weird to me at first, but let me cook here. Their stories run in such parallel to each other to the point where they just have a better connection than I could have ever anticipated, however... a lot of the best fics I've read of them are civilian!Deku or a subversion of that... so if I could find a hero fic of them that would be great thank you!
BakuShin
This one is possibly runner up if not tied for my favorite pairing. Shinsou is my number one ALWAYS!!! But Bakugou is probably my number two, so put two of my favorite characters together and BOOM! You get this masterpiece.
ShinBakuDeku
This only refers to ONE fic that I read that was pure smut where Shinsou used his persona chords to imitate the other while...👀
ShinIida
THE RAREST AND POSSIBLY ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!! I literally don't know HOW I fell into this but THANK GOD I DID!!! They are acutally so cute together I just can't describe it!!!

PLATONIC/FAMILIAL
Shinsou & Mei
I cannot for the life of me remember what fic had this friendship, but it was top tier.
