Summary
Recovery sucks. It’s a long and grueling process that somehow hurts more than having his heart impaled. At least that pain ended swiftly, adrenaline dulling most of the sensation for him. He flew through the air, died, and then it was over. No more pain. Woo-fucking-hoo.
And then there’s the part where he didn’t stay dead, and they put him under so they could cut open his chest and retrieve Edgeshot’s corpse because, sometimes, being a hero means shrinking yourself down into literal human-thread to perform emergency surgery and giving your life for a shitty seventeen year old boy who’s stupid and reckless enough to die in a war.
Katsuki will never be the same after the war. He’s never gone down without a fight, but the aftermath is more than just stitches, plates, and screws; it's the ghost that lives in his heart and the grief left in its wake.
And when Uraraka, the last person he expects to pay him a visit, hobbles into his hospital room on crutches, Katsuki begins to realize that the road to becoming Number One might involve more than just kicking ass and taking names.
