   Summary

   A dimensional quirk pulls Katsuki out and puts something else in his place - same face, same hands, same brutal efficiency. Calmer. Kinder. Better, by almost every measure.
   Izuku spends 72 hours learning the difference between a man being gentle with you and a man being unable to be anything else.
   He calls Katsuki back. Katsuki comes back impossible and furious and exactly right, and Izuku falls apart in front of everyone, and that's just how it is.
   The fire was never the flaw. It was the heartbeat.
