Summary
It starts small. How something sweet twists into cruelty. How she learns to turn her weaknesses, scarce as they are to begin with, into Zuko's. Until they become her strengths. Until there are no weaknesses, no flaws, left in her.

Summary
“I see you got out just fine, though,” Suki said, crossing her arms and watching the Fire Nation prince carefully.
Zuko shrugged. “Fire benders have a natural tolerance to heat. Our skin doesn’t really burn.” He opened a drawer and found a small, dusty container of ointment and pulled it out. “It comes in handy when you’re always surrounded by fire.” When he turned around, he found the rest of the group watching him with expressions Zuko couldn’t quite place. He held out the balm to Katara, but she hesitated before taking it. “What’s wrong?” Zuko asked.
Aang looked at him uncomfortably. “I don’t want to accuse you of being a liar, but…”
“But what?”
“Your face, man,” Sokka supplied with his usual grace.

Summary
“I’m sorry,” Zuko said, so quiet his voice was almost lost beneath the crashing waves. “Please don’t burn me again, Father. I’ll be quiet. I won’t question you again. Please.”
His voice cracked on the last word. And in that moment, all Sokka could see was the age of the scar warping one half of his face. When they met, Zuko was sixteen and the scar was just as old as it was now, and that meant—that meant—

Summary
When Zuko dashes into the sitting room, it is with the same wide-eyed panic that he ran from Azula’s smoking hands when he was a child. Iroh bites down on a smile. Zuko looks the same, even now, a decade later with a scar blossomed over one side of his face, green and brown robes replacing the solitary reds of his childhood. His hair is puffed up around his face. He looks like a very frightened, very windswept turtle-dove.
Zuko dives behind Iroh just as Aang breezes to a stop in the doorway.
Five times Zuko hid behind Iroh, plus one time Zuko stood proudly in front of him.

Summary
The Todoroki family, historically, is kind of the worst at being in the same house together. Natsuo's track record of storming out of the house after two days max is well known. But this winter break's supposed to be different, with Enji out of town for most of it, so Natsuo gives it another shot out of the goodness of his heart. What's the worst that could happen?
If worst comes to worst, he'll just leave again.

Summary
Complete an impossible trial without knowing the rules or the love of your life will pay an unbearably high price.
Shouto Todoroki’s world has been a fog of mind games and power plays since he was a child. The powerful media mogul Enji Todoroki is world-renowned for his ability to make or break lives on a whim, and his family is no exception. When Shouto receives his next assignment working alongside the one man that always gets under his skin, Bakugou Katsuki, he knows it’s a test. It’s always a test—of loyalty, patience, or sanity—and Enji is always watching.

The thermodynamic potential of a potential pacifist by shabu_zen for Lilly_Penwielder

Summary
Shouto has long given up on having any control over his own life. He’s not even sure he wants to be a hero anymore. But he definitely doesn’t want to be a U.A. Hero Course student, where everyone knows he got in on Endeavor’s recommendation.
He can’t do anything to change it, though. His old man would never allow it.
But then- a teacher who outright says he’ll expel anyone with no potential.
It must be fate.OR: Shouto attempts to get expelled and convince Aizawa to give up on him, not necessarily in that order.

Public Favor by Phantomrose96
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
06 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
To call Enji Todoroki’s murder a scandal would be to understate it. To call it a national obsession would come much closer, yet still fail to capture a certain spirit around it.
It was an obsession of public conscience, with a frenetic, itchy, almost shameful energy roused from an entire society now reminded of the scandal 10 years back when Enji's eldest son took to the airwaves and revealed, in gruesome detail with a series of recorded tapes, the depths of Enji Todoroki’s domestic abuse. A scandal which Enji had gotten away with, entirely.
Suddenly, seeing the image of this man, now crumpled small and dead and ugly beside the dumpster of a waterlogged and grimy alley, sent him to the dogs. This man who was now no one’s hero and no one’s protector was no one worth protecting, anymore.
But perhaps the sad and ugly figure he cut dead and bloody in the putrid alleyway was only a fraction of the explanation for the public revolt against Enji. The stronger reason, alive where Enji was now dead, came in the form of the main suspect and man accused of Enji’s murder: his youngest son and the Number 2 Hero Shouto Todoroki.

Summary
Bakugou is sitting in the police station.
Time isn’t moving forward with him. It has a hand over his mouth holding him back, holding him down, beneath the surface of the unreal waters which suspend him. All sounds reach his ears muffled. The phone ringing, and the station hand answering. Chatter, officers exchanging details, Bakugou winces at the utterance of the word “explosion”. None of it is real. None of it can be happening to him.
He jangles the handcuffs on his wrist, and this attracts the weary attention of the station hands. The cuffs aren’t necessary. He is not going anywhere. He sits, and he stares forward, and his ears ring.
Bakugou has fucked up. Bakugou understands for the first time in his life the sensation of fucking up beyond repair. He is watching dreams evaporate in front of his eyes, staring forward unseeingly at the pallid white floor tiles around him. His eyes trace their lines. He does not see them. They are not real. He is not real. He has fucked up. He has fucked up.

Summary
“It was a kid,” Yagi gasped out. He had his hand balled up into a fist and the fist pressed to his lips, as if to remind himself that he could not start screaming. “Or. Young person, maybe 20. Homeless, I think. Activated their Quirk on reflex and then ran. The kids—” Here, he pressed his fist harder to his mouth, sucked in a wheezing breath, as if the air itself was pushing down something with physical weight. “The kids—”
“Scattered immediately,” Aizawa finished for him, and Yagi managed a nod.
Yagi’s eyes were so dilated that the blue was almost invisible. He shook violently. He looked like a scarecrow in a windstorm.
Someone activated a Fear-Inducer Quirk so powerful that it reduced All Might to this— of course Aizawa’s class had bolted.
Or:
A Fear Gas fic, BNHA style.

todoroki’s accidental acquisition of friends by dolphinsond

Summary
Shouto wasn’t the friendliest of people. He knew that.
He didn’t know what being a “friend” entailed. He had a hard time understanding social cues and his blank face didn’t help matters in the least. The casual touches his classmates exchanged were a foreign concept, although not entirely unwelcome.
OR the five times Todoroki suspected he had friends and the one time he knew.

Summary
It was autumn.
He didn’t really notice it until he finally mustered the will to leave the house and was shocked by the nakedness of the trees. Contrasting them was colorful streets that looked like they were taken from a child’s drawing, fallen leaves adorning the otherwise plain sidewalk.
It was a warm autumn day, and Shoto was wearing a turtleneck.
...
A character study, of sorts, of Shoto Todoroki.
