    mm this gave me those good angsty heartache pangs just what I NEEDED

    but also there's something about this.....I think it's in your treatment of midoriya's character. bc babying him and wanting him to have everything he wants (bc he deserves it dammit) seems to be a natural sentiment in the fandom. but your line "He didn’t [have much of a right to complain]—he really didn’t, not when Shouto had already offered and he had rejected him" really threw me back. I was suddenly reading this no longer as a coddling fan but as my rational self considering this as a realistic situation. I agreed suddenly and was torn to almost want him to....fail? well maybe not fail but to at least struggle for todoroki's acceptance. but anyway ya, I really liked how you yanked me out of reading this through a fan's lens

    poor todoroki freezing himself to the railing tho lmao

      Ahhhh, thank you so much! I remember when I first started writing I had a huge problem with making the characters I liked the most more important than anyone else and have them do so many useful things, regardless of whether or not it made sense for them to be able to do it. I try to just write my characters realistically and I'm glad that came across!! Because Todoroki wants to be with Izuku, he really does, but he's still hurt, ya know?

      But yeah, the image of Todoroki trapping himself really amused me, haha
