I'm posting the last chapter and Epilogue at once, so be sure to go back and read Eri's chapter if you haven't already!
"It has now officially been a full day since the incident at Kamino Ward, Yokohama City, where the nation was utterly shocked by the revelation that All Might, the Symbol of Peace, has been steadily weakening over the years. However, in spite of his weakened state and with the help of pro heroes, the villain responsible for the attack, who has been confirmed as the leader backing the infamous League of Villains, has been defeated.
"However, questions still remain from the incident, to start with, who was the hero that struck the final blow against the villain? Law enforcement and pro heroes alike have yet to give a definitive statement, although it is rumored that answers will be forthcoming in tomorrow's press conference with All Might and other heroes present at the raid. Is it possible that it was Endeavor who struck the final blow? A rising young hero? Perhaps an underground hero trying to avoid the spotlight? Or perhaps a member of the rumored 'Vigilante Network'?
"Additionally, there remains no news on the infamous 'Deku'. Ever since his appearance in the battle last night, not as a combatant, but apparently as some sort of hostage, questions have been raised about Deku's true intentions, and whether or not he can still be considered a villain… or whether he is, as many have begun speculating, a hero in his own right.
"In other news-"
Click.
The man hummed thoughtfully to himself as he leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingernails rhythmically against the varnished wood of his desk. After a long moment, he pressed the intercom on his desk.
"Yes sir? Do you need something?" his secretary's tinny voice came through the speaker.
"Miyashita-san, would you please clear my afternoon schedule for this coming Tuesday?"
"Of course, sir. I'll get right on it."
"Thank you."
He released the button and reached for his cell phone, opening up his favorites and pressing the 'call' button next to one of the contacts.
"Well, a fine evening to you, sir. To what do I owe the pleasure?" a man's voice smiled at the other end of the line.
"Trumpet, I'd like you to spread the word. Meeting at Detnerat this Tuesday evening."
"I presume to address the latest developments on the news?"
"Yes. And if you would, I have a special favor to ask of you."
"Oh? What might that be?"
"Track down All for One's apprentice. I do believe that I have a proposition for him.
"After all, I do believe that we have a common enemy."
OH MY GOSH IT'S DONE!
I'm high-key freaking out here guys.
As you can probably tell from the epilogue the Liar Liar AU is not done! As I mentioned in the Q&A a while back, I have plans for at least three more fics. The next one will be a prequel addressing how Izuku wound up agreeing to join the League and how he developed his personas as both Wraith and Deku, and I may end up dipping into specific scenes in Liar Liar where he's interacting with students and we'll get to see what's going through his head.
Which brings me to an important and unfortunate announcement: I will be going on hiatus until this summer. I'm very sorry everyone, but I'm in my senior year of college and I REALLY need to focus on getting my senior recital done so that I can graduate. However, I will not be sitting idle! While I won't be posting before June, I will be writing and hopefully creating a buffer for the prequel so that when I DO start posting, I won't have any interruptions to the story.
ALSO! Because we've almost hit the year anniversary of when I started posting Liar Liar, I've decided to do an end-of-story Q&A to post on the anniversary (March 23rd)! Any question that you have about the events of Liar Liar, the AU as a whole, or plans for future fics, feel free to ask! I do reserve the right to avoid spoilers, though!
Thank you to everyone for sticking with me through this WILD ride, and I hope to hear from you all soon!
