    “Sensei… I killed Shigaraki, didn’t I? He died because of me, right… so I guess that means I killed him, right..? I tried to stop thinking about it, but I can’t… he’s decaying in front of me and I can’t stop it…”

    Summary

    Something touches his shoulder, and it takes Shouta a minute to realize it’s Nemuri trying to get his attention.

    “Hey, Shouta,” she says, “Are you alright? You don’t — you don’t seem alright.”

    He doesn’t want to answer that question. He doesn’t think he can. A smiling face in a picture (he’s never going to get any older). A falling building. Shirakumo’s mother is wailing.

    So Shouta keeps haunting the corners of the kitchen, trying to find where his mom hid the potatoes, the ginger, the apples, the cabinet with the spices.

    Curry rice, love, friendship that transcends death, and other occurrences in the life of Aizawa Shouta.

    Summary

    This was Izuku Midoriya’s breaking point, a moment where porcelain shattered against a cold floor. And this boy had to decide what to do.

    Would he ask for help in picking up the pieces and setting them aright?

    Or would he try to do it on his own and end up bleeding in the process?

    Would he learn that true strength came from knowing your limits and seeking help? Or would he stubbornly cling to ignorance and shove his grief aside?

    ‘Like you?’ his mind taunted again, making Shouta wince.

    Summary

    He had had a friend before all of this. Someone he shared everything with, and who did the same with him in return. Someone who had single handedly saved his life, through being there for him in his really dark moments. Times during which the treatment and discrimination he went through, made him want to take the quick way out.
    It was that someone, who had made him promise never to never ever go to that length.

    And yet it was also the very same someone, his best friend, who in the end had done what they convinced him not to

    Or

    Five times Izuku struggles quietly with the loss of someone from his past, plus one where he realises he doesn’t have to deal with it alone anymore.

    Hizashi Yamada was having a shit day. He'd been up all night the night before with relentless and nonsensical nightmares, and although he'd tried to shush his husband back into sleep every time he woke up from Hizashi's twitching and shifting, him and Shouta had given up eventually and surrendered themselves to the couch around 3 to watch a movie. With nothing better to do, Hizashi had left for the radio station that morning at 5.

    Summary

    When you read of depression, of the poetic injustice and the deep sorrow that plagues the mind, you’re bound to hear the word “tired” at least once.

    It’s inevitable. Tiredness. They will describe to you the physical sense of their exhaustion, losing their will to get out of bed, unable to perform basic hygienic routines. They’ll tell you how they sleep from early in the evening into the afternoon, because they’re just so tired all the time. And then, they’ll tell you of the metaphorical sense. Of how their life is an endless cycle, repeating the same motions over and over again, how the monotony is exhausting in its security, how they don’t have that drive to move forward, to exist, to change and be better. When you read of depression, you will read of being tired. Midoriya Izuku knows this well.

    OR

    Hurt/No Comfort with Dadzawa. Features grief, major character death, and depictions of SH.

    Summary

    I want to spend my time with people who don’t look to be respected. But such good people won’t want to spend their time with me.

     

    When I pretended to be precocious, people started the rumor that I was precocious. When I acted like an idler, rumor had it I was an idler. When I pretended I couldn’t write a novel, people said I couldn’t write. When I acted like a liar, they called me a liar. When I acted like a rich man, they started the rumor I was rich. When I feigned indifference, they classed me as the indifferent type. But when I inadvertently groaned because I was really in pain, they started the rumor that I was faking suffering.

     

    The world is out of joint.

     

    Doesn’t that mean in effect that I have no choice but suicide?

     

    In spite of my suffering, at the thought that I was sure to end up by killing myself, I cried aloud and burst into tears.

    Maybe Bakugou was born to be angry. To be a carbon copy of his mother. And maybe there's no hope, and maybe he's run out of people he hasn't hurt. Ran out of people who don't want to hurt him.

    But here he is. He's got blood smeared across his face- dripping from his busted lip and the slash across his cheekbone from his mothers wedding ring- and its running into the rain water beneath his feet as he's hunched over, out of breath. His feet are scraped and bleeding all to hell, and his hair is sticking to his forehead from the sweat and rain.

    There's anger, and there's panic.

    Or: Bakugou gets kicked out, and he calls the only person he can. His life changes.
