    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya is not what the world wanted him to be. He was too instinctual, too strange.

    Godhood isn't something he asked for. It is not gentle, and instinct is not always kind. It came in a growl, in a bite, in a hiss.

    There are no crowns here; no thrones. He never needed those.

    But, as he finds himself, he finds understanding and love and pack - and that's more than enough.

    Instinct is not lesser. It is older than language. It is what the gods called mother.
    - Divina Incarna, Fragment 4

    Izuku is almost scared to go back – to face his pack with the knowledge of what he's becoming. He feels like he's manipulated them somehow. Taken their generosity and twisted it; molded it until it fit in his palm and was his to take.

    He's not just Izuku Midoriya anymore.

    Absently, there's a part of him that wonders if Aizawa knew of the myths and legends from the time before – wonders if that's why the man named him Wraith.

    There's part of him that's pleased by the acknowledgement, but another part that is confused. He knows things now. Things that he shouldn't know – shouldn't remember.

    Summary

    Nedzu tasks Aizawa Shouta to investigate some oddities amongst the staff at Aldera Middle School. However, due to said oddities amongst the staff, it's unwise to slip Shouta in as a transfer teacher. Thanks to a temporary physical age regression quirk, Shouta is primed to go undercover as a student at Aldera with two objects in mind: figure out the discrepancies in the staff and keep the only Quirkless student at Aldera, Midoriya Izuku, safe.

    Deeply unimpressed at having to be fourteen again, even physically, Shouta finds an unexpected kinship with the kid. While he tries to keep Midoriya safe and solve the cast, Shouta ends up rediscovering some things along the way as well. Whether it's setting a bully on the path of redemption or reigniting his love of heroics, Midoriya Izuku and Aizawa Shouta are about to change each other's lives for the better.

    Summary

    A flash of light reflects briefly, and Shouta freezes.

    Dark eyes are watching him from the other side of the same rooftop. He hadn’t noticed them get there, not a sound had given them away.

    That’s enough to set Shouta on his guard, but there’s something wrong with this hunter.
