Summary
Izuku hadn’t been expecting to die; he’d anticipated it, yes — for as long as he can remember — but he hadn’t expected it to happen so mundanely.
A misstep off a wet rooftop, and it was over.
He hadn’t expected to wake up, either. Not to miscoloured skies, not to a town of vacant ghosts, and certainly not to Tenko Shimura’s small, petrifying, gremlin self prodding him like a dead fish. Reborn into his child-self’s body, unblemished by war, Izuku finds himself somewhere entirely new and unfamiliar.
No, he hadn't expected any of this. But maybe he can learn to live here.
