    Summary

    When fire mage Dabi gets hit with a curse mere weeks before his thesis is due, he has to reach out for... help while he searches for a way to break it.

    If he searches for help by posting an ad on Craigslist? Well, he's gonna blame it on being in a rather questionable state of mind at the time.

    ----

    When Hawks sees an ad for an "At Home Nurse" position that's paying those good dollars, he clicks so fast his poor millennial head spins.

    Doesn't hurt that his new employer is as hot as the fire he wields.

    Summary

    As a shifter, you don't have much of a choice - join the police, don't ever use your ability, or join a gang. Hawks chose the former, Dabi the latter. When they meet in one of the few places where shifters can just be, without repercussions, without restrictions, they don't expect that soon they will meet again under very different circumstances - when Hawks tries to infiltrate Shigaraki's gang. But soon both of them realise that they have different interests than their higher ups, and that maybe the only way to reach their goals is by working together.

    Summary

    Hawks has been running a pretty successful private investigation agency for a while now; he doesn't want to call himself a big name, but let's just say he's never had a case he couldn't solve.

    And then one afternoon he gets a case from one Todoroki Fuyumi, asking him to find her supposedly long lost brother, and all he has to go off of is a shaky camera recording from ten years ago and a mysterious, unsigned letter.

    OR: Some things are best left buried, and some people best left forgotten. Hawks has never been good at letting things go.

    This simplicity changes the night he meets a certain stranger in his favorite coffee shop. Whether for better or worse, Keigo isn't sure yet.

    Summary

    “I’m staying with you.”

    Record scratch. Rewind. “Excuse me?” Hawks grabs his phone, smearing mustard across the back. Dammit. “Come again?”

    That’s, uh, not part of the mission parameters.

    *

    Dabi needs a place to stay and doesn't take no for an answer. Things get dangerously domestic, dangerously fast.

    Summary

    Infiltrate the League of Villains, at all costs - that's what he's supposed to do, even if it means letting Dabi squirm deeper under his skin than he ever anticipated. But the more Hawks learns about Dabi, and the more he tries to protect the Todoroki family Dabi seems to have set an eye on, the more secrets he uncovers.

    Dabi tries not to let anyone or anything get close to him, but he still struggles to fully distance himself from the past. And then there's Hawks, who so obviously follows other motives than wanting to become a member of the League, but there's just something about him that makes Dabi keep him around longer and longer.

    The more secrets they uncover, the more they're forced to confront their own beliefs of what it means to be a hero or a villain, until they have to realise they were both wrong. For Hawks, being a hero means to save people, but can he save the man who has dedicated his life to bringing heroes down? To Dabi, being a villain always meant destruction, but will he sacrifice his ultimate goal just to watch his flames burn away what he hates?

    Summary

    During Hawks’s five years as a pro, he’d established three rules for himself that became essential to his continued success:
    1. Appearances mattered.
    2. Always be the fastest (and most observant) in the room.
    3. Prioritize the end goal at all cost.
    Everything was going great, until the Hero Public Safety Commission screwed it all up.

    Summary

    “My reason for helping the League of Villains? Well, a long time ago, I had a friend.” Hawks says, smiling widely at Kurogiri. “It’s a common story. Bullied kid meets another bullied kid, they become each other’s first and best friend, bullied kid #1 finds out bullied kid #2’s abuser is actually a hero, and so bullied kid #1 decides that hero society needs to be destroyed.”

    Hawks first meets Todoroki Touya when he is eleven years old, on a humid afternoon by a concrete staircase.

    He meets the villain Dabi eleven years later, on a chilly evening by a decaying building.

    Summary

    Dear Student #15,

    I don’t want to fucking do this at all, but the guards and people running Tartarus are up my ass so here’s some basic shit I guess. You know I’m arrested, you know I’m a villain, you know they think I can be ‘reformed’ or whatever. Frankly, I don’t see a point in this, but it’s better than sitting on my ass all day staring at the wall. I won’t say much more considering this is my second attempt. My first draft was ‘too mean’ as they put it. Don’t bother answering.

    Insincerely yours,
    Inmate #03224

     

    In an effort to create a rehabilitation program for villains, eight UA students take part in a pen pal trial run where they are assigned a random, anonymous villain to correspond with.

    Todoroki finds his pen pal to be startlingly similar to him

    Summary

    Hawks pauses dramatically, his eyes sweeping across their ranks. “The answer,” he says, “is Todoroki Touya.”

    The League stares at him, the silence so loud it’s practically crackling.

    “Who?” Dabi says.

    *

    No one has seen Todoroki Touya in the past ten years. Hawks decides that the answer to the League's problems might lie in his miraculous return. Dabi doesn't know much about his past, but he does know it's the worst idea he's ever heard.

    The gang pulls an Anastasia scheme.

    Summary

    “You… will save them?” Eri's voice was hoarse from disuse, barely above a whisper.

    “No, I’m not a saving kind of guy.” Flames curled over his arm, licking up it like a tame beast. “I’m going to grind All for One’s bones in dust and feed the corpses of everyone who helped make this world to my fire."

    “You helped.”

    Dabi laughed, the sound echoing hollowly in the small room. “I’ll save my flesh for last, then.”

    Summary

    After being hit by a strange quirk while on the job as a pro hero, Touya finds himself in another world--one where he's a disfigured villain who calls himself 'Dabi'. He'd do anything to get back home, if he could just figure out how. Deep in the folds of the League of Villains, Touya learns what he can while trying to make this world a less awful place.

    Meanwhile, Dabi awakens to a life in which his family escaped Endeavor's clutches and were allowed the time and space to heal. Presented with the keys to the kingdom of Heroes, he takes whatever he can find and does his best not to get caught up in his own lies. But the longer he spends in this world, the more he finds himself drawn to his counterpart's boyfriend--and the less he wants to go home.

    In Hawks' defense, Todoroki, Endeavor, and Dabi all sound kinda the same.

    Or also, four times Hawks mistakes the Todorokis for each other and gets his wings burned off as a result, and one time, he realizes they might actually be related.

    Summary

    Dabi, to avoid rotting in prison, accepts Hawks offer- to come with him and become a hero. Hawks keeps saying that he believes in the good in people, that Dabi had choices. Dabi keeps telling him he is full of shit, but part of him hopes that maybe there is some truth behind the heroes words.

    Summary

    The job had been simple enough. Get inside Dabi's apartment and collect as much intel on him as possible. Risky and sudden, not to mention not how Hawks would've played his cards, but certainly doable. Or so Hawks had begrudgingly thought, before he ended up getting caught in a hurricane that left his life in shambles.
