Feathers, Fabric, Father Figures, and Other F-Words On Hawks' Mind by Sif (Rosae) for WyvernSpirit

Summary
Hawks is 18 years old, he's the youngest pro-hero to run his own agency, he's got the Hero Commission behind him, he's moving up in the rankings and he's never been happier. He doesn't have any time to slow down for silly things like eating or sleep. Those things are a waste of time. He knows that.
Now if only he could get Best Jeanist to understand that too. For some reason the older pro-hero keeps insisting on poking his nose into Hawks' business, and it's getting downright annoying.
Aka, a story in which a few people asked a few more questions, and Hawks finds out that there's more to life than what the Hero Commission wants from him.

It's a Bird Thing by ghosteboy

Summary
Torpor.
A thermoregulatory process exceedingly common for birds, in which physiological activity is drastically reduced when the animal enters a period of high metabolic stress. Hawks didn’t understand what that meant when his handler explained it to him, he was eleven, after all. He knew a bit here and there about biology, especially when it pertained to the avian aspects of his mutation quirk, but some of the more complicated bits still flew right over his head.
or: hawks does the bird thing where they basically dissociate when they get cold/hungry. the commissions way of handling it + the LoV's way of handling it

Summary
When someone else walks through the door, the staring contest dissolved with his Handler as the winner after Hawks whirled around to assess the new threat in the room. Juice drips from where his grip had crushed the juice box, further staining his clothes and making a mess on the bar top. Hawks continues to blink owlishly at the newcomer. The person, who seems to be made of shadow, rather than it clinging to him, looks at him with mild interest, a towel and a bar glass in his hands. His eyes move to address Hawks’ Handler.
“He’s very,” the man pauses, as if choosing his next words carefully, "small.”
His Handler grunts in irritation, and Hawks almost chimes in that he's sorry, he knows he supposed to be bigger.
A hesitant pause.
“Was it-?”
“Fuckin’ drop it,” his Handler spits out.
“Ah, I see,” the other hums tactfully, and wisely drops the topic. Hawks thinks that his eyes are pretty, the color of a flower that grows in the part where he meets Touya sometimes, but he doesn’t tell him. He's not supposed to meet anyone, and he's not supposed to speak without permission.
Or: Hawks get's de-aged and the league takes care of him

Summary
“You don’t understand,” Shoto's voice faltered, “he– he’s going to ruin everything. He’ll make sure you get fired, and he could get your hero licence revoked, and it’s– it’s just not worth it.”
Aizawa regarded him. “Maybe it’s true that those things could happen, though I’ll try my best to prevent it. But– there’s something else I want you to know.” Aizawa cupped Shoto’s cheek and gently guided his face away from the window and towards him. His eyes glistened wet in the classroom light— full of sincerity, of pain, and… and something else. Something Shoto couldn't place. Something he could never place.
Aizawa softly stroked one of Shoto’s tears away with his thumb. “Look at me, kid. And I want you to remember this. I want you to remember. Do you understand?"
Shoto nodded.
“If it means keeping you safe, it will always be worth it to me."
Or
Shoto tries very hard to keep Endeavours 'training' a secret from Aizawa, Bakugou and Midoriya. They find out anyways. Comfort ensues. Angst ensues. Friendship ensues.
And Aizawa is determined to save his student.

Far Too Young To Die by Numanum

Summary
Hawks takes baby steps backwards, getting closer and closer to the door, as everyone continues to get loud and look at eachother for answers. Well, almost everybody; Dabi is watching him limp away with an unimpressed expression.
“Those are torture wounds,” Shigaraki points out, crossing his arms and leveling Hawks with a dead-eyed stare.
“How do you even know what torture wounds look like?” Hawks throws back as he continues to plan his escape. Shigaraki looks at him with raised eyebrows until Hawks looks away again, feeling like an idiot. These people are villains, he knows that (but its so easy to forget-).
“Right, fuck.”
Hawks flicks him a two fingered salute before turning tail like the coward he feels like and making for the door. He doesn't get more than four feet before Dabi grabs him by one of his wings and yanks him back.
