    Summary

    Touya has always wanted to be a hero. Not for the fame or the glory, but to prove that he is good, that he is worth something.

    He is satisfied with his place in the rankings, a comfortable spot in the mid thirties, while his friend and work partner Tenko is desperate to climb the rankings and reach the top 10.

    Touya is satisfied, he thinks.

    Then he meets Pro Hero Hawks, and his world is thrown upside down.

    Summary


    Gojo let out a loud, exaggerated sigh.

    “I’ve gotta say, Geto Suguru, I’m very disappointed. Rejecting our deal like it’s nothing... for this?”

    He gestured vaguely toward the quiet village behind Geto. “We’re the strongest pack in the region—power, safety, resources. As many omegas as you want, if that’s your thing.”

    “Strength means nothing if it’s built on forced submission and destruction.”

    So that was the kind of alpha Geto Suguru was. Altruistic words, romantic even. Pathetic. It almost made Gojo feel sick.
    And yet, he was fascinated despite himself.

    Survival of the fittest. That's what Gojo believed. Meeting Geto Suguru, the alpha of a small pack, made him begin to realize strength alone wasn’t enough to survive. Or rather, to truly live.

    Summary

    “Will you be participating in the melee?” Shouto asks dutifully.
    “... What’s the winner get?” Bakugo asks.
    Shouto stares at them blankly for a long moment. “A boon,” he answers. “Anything the royal family can grant. A lordship, a position within the royal household, an advantageous marriage, what have you,” he says, shrugging. “Whatever you’d like.”
    Midoriya looks troubled. “That’s a… really dangerous prize to offer, isn’t it?” he asks, biting his lip.
    Shouto shrugs again. “I suppose it would be, if anyone other than a Todoroki won it,” he says flatly, his gaze bored.

    Summary

    When Suguru enrolled in the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, Yaga cautioned him about several things. He warned him about the dangers, about the sacrifices he would have to make, and about the life he would leave behind if he chose this path. He also warned him about the rigorous training that he would have to undergo and about the pain it would bring. He even told him everything about the early death awaiting him.

    However, he did not warn him about his new insufferable classmate.

    A canon-divergent retelling of Satoru and Suguru's relationship, from the day they met back in 2005 to wherever their story could have led them if only they had made the right choices.

    28/09/24: As they now no longer meet my standards regarding my own writing, the first few chapters of this fic will be rewritten. The story will remain unchanged, but the writing will be improved.
