y'know, I got about midway through this fic, hit a real nice place to stop, then endeavor hit the scene and everything started crumbling and so I binged the rest of this fic in a panic to get a happy ending. I'm really glad I did, bc this fic singlehandedly healed the part of my soul that was completely neglected by the endeavor redemption arc.
It hurt so much reading a play-by-play of the exact sort of abuse and the resulting fallout in the todoroki household-- it was so accurate to the point where it had me panicking bc it felt like someone grabbed one of my memories and flung it on the page?? The part that left me baffled with how realistic it is was the mad scramble to coordinate evasive actions against endeavor. It's a heartbreaking, survivalist instinct that they don't deserve and it physically hurt to read ajsjka.
I think I'll be coming back to this fic in the future. Or maybe I won't- the emotional toll is Immense. But I'm super grateful for this take on the family; it feels vindicating and justified and it was such a pleasure to read.
