    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    “Congratulations on getting nine out of ten questions correct! Without further ado, let’s move on to the last question..” Hanazawa paused for dramatic effect as the lights dimmed and the spotlights overhead honed in on their podiums.

    “What is … your hero partner’s type?”

    A brief silence.

    “‘Type?’” Izuku questioned at the same time as Kacchan.

    “Yes, type,” the host laughed. “Like, who would they date? What are they into?”

    The blood drained from Izuku’s face and he shot a panicked look at Kacchan. The blond didn’t seem to be faring any better, his gaze zeroed in on Hanazawa as if he could will her to change the question to something else.

    Izuku... didn't know the answer to that.

    --

    In order to increase their popularity rankings as up and coming pro heroes, Izuku and Katsuki participate in the most popular late night talk show for hero duos - ‘Heroes Rising!’. They’re killing it, obviously, because they know each other from inside and out. Until one question stumps the two of them: “What is your hero partner’s type?”

    Summary

    Something is seriously wrong with Tim—Jason just knows it. Ever since the Mad Hatter incident, Tim has been acting completely different, and the worst part is that no one believes Jason when he tells them so.

    But when the truth is eventually revealed, the whole family comes to realize that the situation is far worse than anyone could have ever predicted.

    Summary

    Deku is a good guy, a good Hero-in-training, and he will do almost anything to make a lost kid smile and stop crying.
    Which is how Katsuki ended up here: with a Quirk de-aged three-nearly-four year old Izuku clutching his arm and shrieking with delight that he gets to hang out with Kacchan and learn about cool Hero things.

    But it's just for the day, hopefully. How long can one day with a small child last?

    Summary

    There was a next to zero percent chance that it would happen. That two infants would meet each other in the park and have a soulmate connection. That they would grow up together and change the world forever. But that's the thing, the chances were next to zero, but not quite zero.
