    Summary

    Even in a world where Midoriya Izuku does develop a quirk, life is not kind.

    Somehow, ineffably, he still finds his way to being a hero, even when his body fails him. Even if it's the last thing he does.

    (where quirks are not always kind, and the author ruminates on the idea that trauma can be a list of smaller things that grow into something bigger and all the more willing to swallow someone whole. But it’ll be okay, eventually, because Izuku’s got Mirio by his side, and Mirio has got him).

    Summary

    They shatter so gently. 

    Sweetly.

    Whispering, “I love you,” to each other as they hold the other close and fall to pieces.
    Izuku looks into Shouto’s eyes and thinks that endings can sometimes be beautiful.

    It's quiet, at the end. It's only them, and the sky that holds them close.

    Summary

    Izuku knows he will burn fast, but he wants desperately to burn brightly.
    To give something to the world before he runs out of fuel.

    But some dreams should stay dreams, and Izuku really should have learned to be more careful with his heart.

    (A notebook can be a damnable thing, I suppose. And traitor is an ugly, ugly word.)

    Summary

    Izuku was born with a rare type of soulmate: parental. After being diagnosed quirkless, his father leaves and his mother becomes distant, leading Izuku to believe his third parent would do the same. Desperate to retain a positive relationship with his soul-parent, he keeps them at arm's length for fear of them rejecting him too.

    Shouta is worried about his soul-child. Over the last few years they've become withdrawn. Shouta isn't naïve, he knows why children get parental soul bonds. He just wants to make sure they're okay (and maybe meet them and maybe adopt them). Maybe he is just as much of a dad as his friends say.

    This fic has a Discord now!
