bnha 164 because I really liked it!

TL;DR: There were a lot of mistranslations and errors in this new chapter

First off, Inasa and Shouto lol

I like the fact that he’s trying to get on Todoroki’s good side. he probably still feels bad for making him fail (even though it wasn’t entirely his fault). Plus Bakugou’s face:

Gosh darn it Hori, these kids are adorable XD

The fact that Bakugou’s terrible with kids makes this even funnier.

Shouto, the man with 5 peepees, Hilarious XDD

I just loved these scenes lol.

Okay more important stuff:

My favorite part of this chapter was seeing All Might.

He’s basically saying: “I don’t want people to see this All Might”

We know that All Might still feels a little anxious when he’s in his true form in public. Which is why he didn’t want to stay to close so he wouldn’t ‘stand out’ because he didn’t want “Oh wow…that’s All Might?” reactions, which is totally understandable. It’s not like he’s embarrassed by his appearance but more like he’s afraid of people saying “Wow, we’ve really lost our pillar” or “What’s gonna happen to us now?” and all that.

But then…

People still love him and it’s so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Although I wish we could see his expression.

It looks like Bakugou might have noticed Shouto’s discomfort with his dad being there and all. I don’t know what this could possibly lead to later on, but a small part of me is hoping the two might have a decent conversation about Shouto’s past or something.

Okay so this page is not just for humor XD I can’t believe he called bakugou feces

What he’s saying to them is actually really important. Orca knows the three of them are strong, but like the story’s said multiple times, to be a hero isn’t just about defeating villains and having brute strength, the heroes need to have a good heart too. This is something that they lack, well not Shouto and Inasa, but Bakugou. Shouto’s failed because he let his personal feelings cloud his mind, but Bakugou failed because he actually doesn’t have what it takes to be a true hero.

Also, a small part of me wished Orca compared them two Izuku or something because I remember Orca indirectly praising Izuku during the exam. It would’ve been nice to see how Bakugou would react to that, especially since he’s softened up towards Izuku in a way. Would he have been extremely pissed? Or would he just throw in a “tch”

Probably not important but was it necessary for Inasa to have this line? I mean, isn’t this something Shouto should say? Well this chapter was badly translated so he could’ve said something completely different so I won’t dwell too mcuh on this.

And I’m gonna go ahead and guess that this current training is for the people who failed the second stage of the exam, since Meat-Senpai is sitting on the sidelines.

Speaking of meat-senpai let’s talk about Camie. Did they…erase her elbow?

Watch out guys, this is a big mistranslation (no one in Japan talks like this wtf). And I guess this Camie is the real deal. Her being absent makes more sense, and it turns out that they know Himiko was the one behind it, and if the U.A students gave a testimony about it…then does that mean they talked about her being naked too?? XD. Which is good, so it won’t build up some unnecessary suspense.

So my guess is that the league did something to knock her out, because she wasn’t kidnapped…but asleep? Since she’s such an airhead she probably doesn’t even remember how she got attacked.

Mmmhmmm, yeah I can feel em. The haters XD

Alright, the last important thing, Endeavor!

This right here? Very important! The man is lowering his pride to ask his arch rival for advice, which I think is really sweet.

Well it’s not exactly Endeavors fault that the crime rate has increased. Despite him being all harsh and edgy he still doesn’t have that intimidating aura All Might had back when he was still number 1. It’s not much but it feels like a bit of development to me.

Overall this chapter was just refreshing to read, because of all the humor thrown in it which is something I really missed in bnha.

Re: Does Shouto have his scar/what happened to Rei in May Death Never Stop You

TL;DR - Shouto does not have his scar but Rei is still in the hospital. Okay and now for the long version -

So we don’t know the specifics of Rei’s mental disorders in canon, but judging from her actions I imagine there’s a whole laundry list of cluster a, b, and c disorders in there to certain degrees. For this fic I’m assuming her particular cocktail is bipolar disorder (mania and depression) with psychotic features (delusions, hallucinations), avoidant/dependent disorders, PPD and generalized anxiety.

Rei’s first born is a really weird fucking baby. He’s basically an alien. He doesn’t really cry or make much noise, and he has a terribly unnerving and unblinking stare. Sometimes it seems like he just sees right through her, judging her and finding her wanting and deciding to dismiss her from his perception of reality. Or at least that’s how she sees it - is it actually? No because Gojo’s awareness hasn’t even come in yet, but the whole ‘old soul in a new body’ is still making him a weird infant. Also the whole body/soul thing in JJK is very ??? which means its possible Gojo’s soul has always been in his body, and so has his cursed energy (even if his 6 eyes and his awareness didn’t fully manifest until he was about 4 or so), so even in utero he would have had cursed energy, and who knows how that would react in the body of a human without any cursed energy to speak of? In JJK even normal humans have trace amounts of cursed energy even if they can’t see curses, which would explain how sorcerers come from non-sorcerer families. But MHA has zero cursed energy, and the 6 eyes have evolved to see quirk energy. Idk what that would do to Rei, but nothing good, I imagine. I wouldn’t say her mental issues are entirely Gojo’s fault, since a lot of that is hereditary and environmental, but it certainly didn’t help.

In a normal person it would probably give mood swings, more depressive episodes, and other symptoms that we’ve seen in JJK for normal people who are unknowingly cursed - anxiety, sudden nervousness, bad dreams, that kind of stuff. But because Rei already had plenty of undiagnosed mental health disorders, it sort of compounded everything.

Rei is already under pressure just by the nature of her marriage, which I head-canon as her agreeing to by pure technicality of the legal definition of ‘consent’, but in reality was very much so caused by the pressure her parents, society and endeavor himself was exerting on her. Basically she made herself believe it was what she wanted because everyone else seemed to think it was the smart choice - marry a rich and handsome famous hero who has offered to take care of your family and you financially for the rest of your days, in a society that’s already misogynistic? I imagine her friends in school and just everyone in her everyday life even beyond her parents was putting pressure on her, maybe not intentionally, but exerting their opinions on her nonetheless.

This is a lot of stress and environmental pressure for everyone, but again Rei already had BPD and was more susceptible to these kinds of changes, and never got the help she needed to deal with any of it. In line with cultural values, it probably never occurred to her to voice her struggles aloud or seek help for them.

She’s alone, suffering under undiagnosed PPD, can’t bond with her baby in any capacity, feels like a failure, and it’s just a huge spiral that gets worse and worse until it eventually breaks.

I imagine she didn’t start having more violent/hysteric attributes to her psychotic features until this point in her life, and they would have scared her. I have to imagine this is canon, bc otherwise I don’t know how she ended up going from a mild woman to having a violent episode and scarring Shouto.

She’s also not taking any medication whatsoever, and has never been diagnosed or seen a doctor for her mental health issues. Untreated BPD is basically a recipe for disaster in this instance, but instead of harming her children like in canon, the coin flipped on the other side and she acted on her depressive side and not her manic one, and she makes an attempt on her own life instead. Frankly its unrealistic that she hadn’t injured anyone else in one of her manic episodes beforehand, like a maid or one of her own kids, but that’s where the avoidant distorder comes in, as she’s always been more of a recluse and more likely to hurt herself in a manic episode than someone else. But anyway this is enough to finally get psychiatric help involved.

Again, in canon she’s seen to be pretty cordoned off from life and has been in a psych ward for most of Shouto’s life - that wouldn’t make sense unless she had pretty uncontrollable violent tendencies and exhibited an inability to deal with stressors in regular life, so I have to imagine her particular cocktail of disorders is extreme and was probably already there and got worse due to the environmental factors of her marriage.

To be specific I’ve slotted her psych ward admittance into the timeline to be right around the time that Gojo confronts Endeavor in the dojo. Honestly maybe even like a week or two before it. At that point in time Gojo is spending like 80% of his time away from his own house and honestly has no idea it even happened. In his POV in ch1 he mentions how odd it is that Rei isn’t in the house when he stops by because she’s always there, then he’s distracted when he notices Endeavor and Shouto.

hii! I wanted to know if you could do a headcanon on the bnha boys? (tomura, dabi, hawks and shoto) on how they act when you have a bad dream?

When You Have A Nightmare.

Awweee, this is such a cute concept!! (Also, you literally named my top favourite bnha characters.)

I also wanted to mention that I recently noticed that anon asks were off, but they are on now!

Part 2

Genre: fluff, angst

Characters: Tomura Shigaraki, Touya Todoroki, Keigo Takami, Shouto Todoroki.

TOMURA SHIGARAKI

Tomura is actually very familiar with nightmares, so he understands why they affect you so much.

He used to have nightmares every single night until he met you.

He felt safe sleeping by your side, he didn't feel lonely anymore.

So he wants to be that safe place for you, too.

You don't have bad dreams pretty often so he is surprised when he feels you moving and mumbling random things.

He will wake you up by gently caressing your face and softly whispering your name.

He'll hold you close while asking what your dream was about.

And the moment he notices how strongly you were trying to avoid telling him, realization stroke him.

"Oh."

"So it was about me... No. It was me."

You had dreamt about him decaying you.

You feel completely torn the moment you see his devastated expression.

You aren't afraid of him. You really aren't. In fact, you feel safe with him.

You knew that his own worst nightmare was to be feared by you, so you take his face between your hands and look at him straight in the eyes.

"I love you, Tomura. I need you to know that. I need you to know that I could never be afraid of you."

He takes both of your wrists in his hands and strokes them gently with his tumbs, always touching you as if he was afraid of hurting you, because he is.

He is terrified. He would never mean to hurt you but he knew that didn't matter. He didn't mean to hurt his family either and, yet, he did.

He had already killed everyone he ever loved and he was determined to protect you from himself, because he knew he could never recover from losing you. "I would never hurt you, (y/n). I-"

"I know." you cut him off. His touch on your hands becomes less cautios as he places his forhead against yours and you take advantage of the moment to press a kiss on his lips.

You spend the rest of the night with your head resting against his chest while he mumbles sweet nothings in your ear to help you relax. Not giving in into his own tiredness until he makes sure you are sound asleep.

DABI/TOUYA TODOROKI

He was literally having the best dream ever when the sound of someone sobbing woke him up.

You were trying to be as silent as possible since you knew that he had a very hard time falling asleep in the first place.

But you couldn't help but cry when you remembered the horrible dream you just had.

It takes Touya a bit of time to fully wake up and realize what is going on, but as soon as he does, he has his arms around your body. His chin resting on your shoulder.

"What happened, doll?"

In your nightmare, you could see Touya burning to death by his own flames right in front of you while you couln't do anything despite how hard you tried to reach him.

And when you told him, he felt so...weird.

He knew you cared for him. He knew your nightmare probably came from how worried you were whenever he used his quirk for a long time. But he didn't realize how much it actually affected you until that moment.

The way you were completely shaken, how you seemed to be hurting so much... He knew he should feel bad but he actually felt relieved. Relieved to know how much you cared about him. To see that you felt the same way he felt about you. The same burning fear of losing him.

Now, this man would burn down the whole country for you, but he's not good when it comes to comforting someone who's crying. Or comforting in general.

The best he can do is make jokes in hopes that it'll make you forget your dream.

Jokes about his own hypothetical death...

"Hey, on the bright side, It wouldn't take very long for me to fully calcinate. The job is already halfway done!"

And you just cry harder.

He ends up telling you that he will never leave you. Ever.

"Dying and leaving a vacancy for some asshole to take my place on your bed? Fuck, no. You'll have to deal with me for a long, long time, doll."

That did make you smile. And seeing you smile makes him grin like an idiot.

"I love you, Touya."

He doesn't say those 3 words very often, but the kiss he gives you afterwards, says more than enough.

By the way, his dream, the one you interrupted, was about you.

HAWKS/KEIGO TAKAMI

When he suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night and realizes you are not by his side, he panics.

Until he sees the light coming from the bathroom.

He approaches carefully to see if you need anything since you always tend to close the door.

And that's when he sees you.

Sitting against the bathtub, red eyes that look as if you had been crying for a while.

And the moment you see him standing in the door frame, you begin to cry again.

He rushes up to you and kneels before you, his hand cuping your cheek. Trying to wipe your tears away.

He's very confused as to why you started crying when you saw him.

"Did I do something to upset you, dove?"

And you cry harder.

And poor Keigo is just there like: 👁️

His confusion only grows as you put your arms around his neck while you cry.

"Please don't do it", you say between sobs.

And he immediately understands what you are talking about.

Keigo had been told a couple of weeks ago that he had a very important mission that required him to go undercover to collect information on the league of villains. And that it was extremely dangerous.

You had been very stressed since then.

"(y/n), we already talked about thi-"

"You don't understand! I just had a dream where they discovered you! What if it was a sign?"

Keigo felt bad. Very, very bad. He didn't like to be the reason you cried.

"Listen, dove. I have to do this. What kind of hero would I be if i didn't?" He says as he raises your face with two fingers under your chin to meet your eyes.

"One that stays with me." You say, with a stern look on your face.

And that felt as if someone had taken his heart out of his chest.

"I will stay with you."

You had never heard him say something so seriously. Ever. And so, for a moment, you allow yourself to believe him.

You both go back to bed, your face buried in his neck, clinging onto him as if it was your last chance to do so.

You knew Keigo would stop seeing you the moment the mission started to avoid risking you. And you were afraid you could never have moments like this again.

"Hey, (y/n)."

You hum in response.

"I know you don't understand right now, but I do know what kind of hero I want to be. I want to be the kind of hero who did the right thing. I want to be a hero you are proud of. One who deserves you. Even if it might hurt us sometimes."

SHOUTO TODOROKI

Shouto is a very light sleeper, so it doesn't take him long to realize that you are moving quite a lot.

"Hey (y/n)." He calls for your name a couple of times.

You are very shaken when you finally open your eyes.

"Are you okay, love?"

You tell him that everything is fine, but Shouto is incredibly perceptive and he knows you are lying.

He figures you probably don't want to talk about it and he doesn't want you to feel pressured.

He respects the fact that you want to think about something else and he wants to help you with that.

You notice how he suddenly stands up and grabs his phone, playing your favourite song. Which is now Shouto's favourite too because it reminds him of you.

He walks towards you, offering you his hand.

You take it with a smile on your face.

Placing his hands on your hips while you put your arms around his neck, he starts guiding you into some improvised waltz around your bedroom.

With you face buried in his chest and his lips placing a kiss on the top of your head, you realize how lucky you are to have him.

"I love you, Shouto."

"I love you too, (y/n)."

And with that, you guys keep dancing for a little while until you start feeling sleepy again, sweet Shouto holding you close all night long. Leaving the song playing on the background.

How would the Todorokis be with their s/o?? Like Natsuo, Fuyumi, Shouto and Touya/Dabi??

I really believe that there should be a spin off called ‘Keeping up with the Todorokis’ where each one of them brings home their s/o and shit hits the fan. I love this prompt and I love ya. 💖💖💖

P.S It’s 4 am and I can’t sleep so please excuse any typos or grammatical mistakes. I’m in a daze. Enjoy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natsuo Todoroki

-He met you at a convention.

-He was in his second year of university and he decided to attend one of those medical conventions, to feel more like a doctor.

-You bumped into him as you were entering the conference room and being as smooth as always, he asked you to sit with him.

-After that your friendship blossomed.

-You found out that you were actually in the same university but in different classes and that’s why you didn’t know each other.

-Being in the same campus helped a lot with the development of the relationship.

-It didn’t take long for him to fall head over heels in love with you.

-He realized just how in love he was with you after a particular brutal confrontation with his father.

-He had been so angry and desperate for comfort that his body responded by itself and led him to your door.

-You of course helped him as best you could, making him some tea and quickly fixing him up with something to eat.

-You could see his anger as it radiated off of him.

-Also the temperature dropped so...yeah.

-You didn’t push him to talk, opting to stay silent and allow him to talk when he felt like it.

-And it worked.

-He opened up to you, letting everything go.

-About his past, about Touya, about his father and eventually how much he wants to just hold but is afraid that he’ll just be like him inn the end.

-He is terrified at the possibility of him hurting you like his father did his mother and making you miserable.

-He told you that he truly loved you.

-You were in tears at that point.

-His past accompanied by his confession was just too much for you to handle.

-You jumped into his arms, wrapping him into one of the tightest hugs he had ever experienced and you just sobbed.

-You said you loved him too and that he was one of the loveliest and sweetest people you had ever met, he could never be like his father.

-Of course at some point he started crying as well and you two became two sobbing messes on the floor of your apartment.

-Your relationship was like a fever dream.

-Natsuo is a fun guy but he’s also one of the most crackheaded people on this earth.

-One minute you’re being smothered with kisses and the next you are being manhandled to the floor in an attempt to get the TV remote.

-It’s...it’s a fever dream.

-He likes showing his goofy self to you and making you question his intelligence.

-I mean how could one person be an astounding medical student while challenging you that he could fit more marshmallows in his mouth than you?!

-He values his family even if it links with his father’s abuse.

-So expect to meet Rei and Shouto after your one year anniversary or so.

-Fuyumi is the first family member you meet and that’s completely an accident.

-You were over at Natsuo’s and she came to drop off some food because he can’t cook for shit and she saw you.

-All the Todoroki’s adore you.

-And when I say all I mean all.

-Even fireball man.

-He doesn’t really like you at the beginning because YoUr qUIrK iSn’T gOoD enOUgH, but later he warms up to you and is actually excited for your visits.

-Shouto claims that you make incredible soba so he automatically worships you.

-Lowkey had a mini crush on you but it lasted for like a week and then he got infatuated with his s/o so you were long forgotten.

-Rei loves you because Natsuo loves you and because you are literally a ray of sunshine.

-Dabi....he takes his time because being in contact with his family after so many years is weird and seeing them slowly building their own families is even weirder, so you get the point.

-All in all, they can’t wait until they get to call you an official Todoroki.

Fuyumi Todoroki

-MY GIRL IS A LESBIAN.

-Change my mind....see you can’t.

-She’s the shy one of the Todoroki group and it shows.

-You have to do the first move and every move for that matter.

-You two met when you were dropping off your nephew off at his school because you are a responsible AUNT!!

-You almost left without him tbh.

-You were being led to the class by him because you had lost every sense of direction.

-Once inside the class you were greeted with 17 pair of eyes on you which later changed to squeals of excitement.

-Kids are weird okay... they get excited from the tiniest of changes and seeing a new face in the class had them ECSTATIC.

-They asked you question after question and you were slowly suffocating by a particular kid having wrapped his arms around your middle and squeezing, until a soft voice was heard from behind you.

- “Kids go to your seats please, and Daichi please let go of the lady.”

- “But she’s so pretty.”

-It took some time to get him off of you, mainly because you weren’t helping.

-You were to busy being in a daze as you looked at Fuyumi.

-She apologized about their behavior and asked if you were okay.

-You, trying to be smooth, said you were fine and asked for her name.

-She answered with a smile and you started talking until a cry was heard from inside the class and she had to leave.

- “I hope to see you around, Todoroki-chan.” you said with a wink and left.

-She was blushing like crazy and barely mustered a ‘goodbye’ before hurrying into the classroom.

-After that you would regularly drop your nephew off only for a chance to see her again.

-Finally, after many attempts, you mustered up the courage to ask her out and were taken aback by her excited squeal of approval.

-Your relationship could be described as the definition of softness.

-Fuyumi is a soft person and prefers tranquility over anything else, so that translates to a relationship argument free and just a ton of fluffy dates and cuddle sessions.

-You’re relatively protective over her, especially after she shares her past with you, and become a literal watchdog every time Endeavor is in the proximity.

-You click with Natsuo mainly because you have your crack moments and he can’t help but vibe with you.

-She’s super understanding and knows when work has been especially hard on you.

-She will make some tea and give you a massage, followed by a mini make out session and maybe some steamy times.

-She introduces you to her mother only after you two have exchanged ‘I love you’s because that’s when she knows that you are serious with her.

-Rei A D O R E S you.

-She lights up when she sees you with Fuyumi.

-Shouto is a little more closed off so you’ll have to try and get him to really like you.

-With some help from Natsuo’s s/o you’ll be on his good side in no time.

-Endeavor was from the first people to meet you mainly because you were visiting Fuyumi at their house frequently and he didn’t like you.

-You two could become feral if Fuyumi didn’t intervene.

-Eventually he warmed up to you.....because Fuyumi was marrying you so he didn’t really have a choice.

-After he realized the importance of family he started having the mindset that if his children were happy he was happy.

-And you made Fuyumi happy.

-Still salty over your nonexistent/normal quirk though.

Shouto Todoroki

-You were in the same class.

-And he found you beautiful since day one.

-So it was kinda inevitable.

-Like come on, you were perfect to him.

-You were beautiful, smart, caring and super strong.

-He fell head over heels after he fought you at the sports festival.

-He spoke to Midoriya about this weird feeling he was feeling in his chest and he diagnosed him with love.

-Okay, Shouto has no idea what to do.

-His perception of love was obliterated by his dad and his mom wasn’t in his reach for advice.

-Fuyumi was an option but he didn’t really feel comfortable.

-So what did he do?

-He googled it.

-He googled how to flirt and how to make a girl like you.

-And you can imagine the results.

-Kaminari level flirting.

-Thankfully you found his attempts cute and finally comforted him about the whole flirting thing, asking him if he liked you.

-He said yes, you know, bluntly and asked you out.

-Your relationship was awkward at first because he had no idea what he was doing and you didn’t want to overstep and make him uncomfortable.

-After some time, and many kisses and reassuring later, he relax and let himself go.

-TOUCH STARVED BABY BOY!

-He’s clingy af and if he traps you in his arms, he won’t let go.

-You’re his now.

-End of story.

-You help him cope with his trauma and encourage him to reach out to his mom and siblings.

-You become his shoulder to cry on/ rant about his father and you are there for him for everything.

-During the Nomu incident with his father, he was really shaken and that’s when he said ‘I love you’ for the first time.

-You were in his dorm room, him having his head in his hands as his breaths became labored.

-You didn’t say anything, instead opted to massage his back and just envelope him in a loose hug.

-Everything he felt for his father, the hatred and the anger, had momentarily disappeared and had been replaced by dread for his safety.

-He had destroyed his mother and their family, but he was still part of him.

-Shouto stayed there, in your arms, and just contemplated about his feelings towards everyone, not just his father.

-And that’s when he realizes that he loves you.

-And he just blurts it out.

-You are taken aback to say the least, but you still return his sentiment.

-He decides to introduce you to his family after that.

-First stop is Rei, who loves you.

-Seeing her Shouto looking at someone like that, with so much love in his eyes, is addicting and she couldn’t be happier.

-Next stop, Fuyumi and Natsuo.

-You go out on a triple date and things are hectic.

-Chaotic energy overload.

-But everything works out and the all of them end falling in love with you.

-Endeavor, tolerates you because of your quirk.

-Not that you care.

-Shouto keeps you away from him anyways.

-A wholesome boyfriend.

-Husband material right here.

Dabi/Touya Todoroki

-Burn me you flaming ball of daddy issues.

-Friends with benefits.

-That’s how it all started.

-Just some fun nights, shared between two partners in crime before returning to murdering people.

-The thing is that, in order to make Dabi fall in love you have to do something crazy af.

-You two were on a mission to spy on Overhauls rookies, when someone spotted you.

-He was about to shoot one of those quirk erasing darts right on Dabi’s back when you pushed him out of the way, getting your quirk erased and hitting your head because of your unceremonious landing.

-You have never seen one (1) Dabi roast 20+ people faster before.

-Your whole body felt stiff and heavy, making even the slightest of movements a challenge.

-Dabi was on his knees in no time, calling your name like a mad man and trying to keep you conscious.

-He scooped you up in his arms, cold sweat running down his spine as he watched you fall in and out of consciousness.

-Even after you closed your eyes, you could here him faintly calling out to you, spewing nonsense just to stir a reaction.

-Once at the hide out, he almost roundhoused Shigaraki’s ass because he got in his way, he rushed over to the new healer of their group.

-After being told that you were going to make it, he disappeared for a week.

-You woke up and he wasn’t there, which kinda hurt.

-Okay, you may or may not have feelings for him for some time now, but of course you won’t say anything..

-You will scare him off.

-Little did you know though that Dabi was getting himself wasted in an attempt to drown his feelings for you.

-His plan failed and he decoded to confront you about it.

-Get it out of the way.

-He came back and dragged you out of the hideout and aggressively confessed to you.

-You two are now exclusive.

-Congrats!

-Things are really chill.

-He worries when you go on missions by yourself, especially after seeing you like hurt after that Overhaul mission.

-Cuddles with him are based on his mood.

-If he doesn’t really want to cuddle, he won’t .

-You can’t change that no matter what.

-You are the only one who knows about his backstory and his family.

-After being together for a long time you encourage him to reach out to his siblings or his mom.

-His dad is a no no from both of you.

-And eventually he actually does.

-He introduces you to them and they have to warm up to the both of you.

-Because having your until recently deceased brother introduce his s/o to you is kinda....overwhelming.

-In the end, they are happy to have their brother back.

-And seeing so happy and trusting with another person, had them warm.

-Dabi deserves love.

-Poor baby suffers and he doesn’t deserve it.

Messed the time line up. Shouto is younger, and Natsuo is older, than they actually are.

Edited: 12-30-2020

To this day I still miss and miss you. To this day I'm still encircled by the memories of us together. Had I caught you that day, no, had I stopped you that day. To this day would we still be friends? How would it be? Dear, my friend, how have you been? I'm doing great, you know, yeah. Dear my friend, I'll be honest. I still freaking hate you. Even now I remember the past days we were together. The time and countless days we went to Daegu together.

You exited your school, parents and other junior high graduates filing around you as you moved from the cool conditioned gym into the hot outdoor summer air. You walked down the steps, quickening your pace as you saw the back of an orange head, the head of your best friend, Touya Todoroki. You nearly tripped on the pretty dress your mom made you wear for the occasion as you reached him but he grabbed onto you and firmly held onto your arm and shoulder until he felt you were stable enough to stand on your own.

“Be careful, you're so clumsy.”

“I am not.”

He wasn't making fun of you, you knew this as you saw his smile. He was teasing you the way he did your entire friendship since you were kids, but you still felt the need to defend yourself as people exiting the school looked your way.

“How’s it feel to be a middle school graduate?”

“It feels great!”

Touya walked with you away from the school towards the parking lot where your parents were waiting for you both. You hoped your mother had the car on and running with the AC, you weren't sure you'd last another minute in this heat.

“Are you still planning on applying to UA?”

“Yes. My moms not exactly on board with it. She thinks I should go for something practical, apparently ‘the world has enough heroes already.”

You bit your lip and looked at the ground as your mind replayed that day with your mother. You left out the harsher details to Touya. Your mother had threw out all your applications to any hero schools she could find in your bedroom with the simple statement that you that you weren't cut out for the hero life. She and your father didn't believe in you, but that just motivated you to work harder.

“Are you still applying to UA?”

“My father- Yeah, I am. We have to go to the same high school or else I’d miss you.”

Touya and you had reached your car which thankfully was on. Your father gave you and Touya a curt nod from inside the car while your mother smiled at you both from where she was outside the vehicle, leaning against the door waiting for you.

“Are you coming with us Touya?”

Touya was hesitant as he looked across the lot where his mother, sister and brothers sat in his fathers expensive car. His father wasn't there and you couldn't recall seeing him in the audience as you were given your middle school education credentials. Touya never talked with you about it so you didn't know the extant, but you knew his father didn't play an active role in his life.

“No, I think my mom needs me home tonight.”

“Okay, don’t be afraid to drop by the house soon. You could help [Y/N] send out some high school applications to some practical schools.”

Your mother got in the car, leaving you to say goodbye to Touya. You couldn't help but roll your eyes at her new attempt of saying you shouldn't be a hero.

“[Y/N], don’t worry about your high school application. With the two of us, the world is nothing scary.”

That was a long time ago. You and Touya slowly lost contact over the summer. You looked for him at the UA hero exams, but he wasn't there. Sometimes you had to wonder if you had just called, would things have turned out differently.

‘With the two of us, the world is nothing scary’ we said, and now we walk two completely different paths, damn. Do you remember those days? Was it at Sinsa? The conversations we had over soju. The ambition we had of conquering the world. We were young and had big dreams, only twenty. Sudden cutting off contact. After a long while, after your parents' short call from an unknown number. I immediately ran there to check. Seoul Detention Center in Anyang was too far.

You felt weird as you sat in a small black chair bolted to the ground. You felt weird as you looked across the big, clear, plastic panel separating you from him. You felt weird as you picked up the phone attached to the wall that connected to the look alike phone on Touya’s side of the panel.

You hadn’t heard from Touya for a while after junior high graduation. Despite promising to stay in touch, you hadn’t. ‘With the two of us, the world is nothing scary’ what a joke, after junior high, you simply drifted apart from each other. You applied to UA, your dream school, and got in, but you had no clue to what Touya had chosen to do with his high school career, he had blocked you out of his life.

Truthfully, the drift between you wasn't one sided, you hadn't called him or tried making contact until after your first year at UA high had passed. Once you had tried to mend the gap, you couldn't, too much time had gone by. Contact had been lost for so long, your friendship fizzled. Even when you started interning for Touya’s father, Enji Todoroki, in your third year at UA high, you barely saw each other but rather his two younger brothers, one of which who Enji hoped to mold into a hero.

You hadn't heard from Touya in ages. You hadn’t heard from him until you received a call from his younger brother, Natsuo Todoroki, asking you to come to Japan’s detention center in Hosu city. Despite it being two in the morning, the young mans voice sounded urgent and you couldn't possibly say no.

“Why are you in here, Touya?”

“I fucked up. I fucked up bad.”

“What happened Touya? I’ll try to fix it, your dad will try to fix it. I just need to know what happened.”

A moment of silence passes and you can tell Touya is hesitant to admit to you why he was in there, why someone had decided to put him behind bars.

“You can’t fix it [Y/N], my dad won’t fix it. He thinks I need to learn my lesson.”

A red flashing light goes off above your plastic panel as well as a loud buzzer. A security guard comes over and informs Touya that his time with you is up, as he grabs onto Touya’s orange jumpsuit and pulls him away from his side of the plastic wall, all that can be hear is Touya yelling to you.

“I wish we never lost contact.”

You stood up from your chair, giving the next criminal and innocent time to talk. You walked out to the hall where you saw the younger Todoroki brother. The white, spiky haired male stood there waiting for you with a nervous look on his face.

“Thanks for calling me, Natsuo.”

“I thought you’d want to know, you used to be close.”

“We were...”

Natsuo awkwardly rubbed at the back of his neck, not sure of what to say in this situation. He wasn't sure if you needed comforting, or not, truthfully, Natsuo felt nervous around you.

“Would you mind keep me in the loop about his trial?”

“Yeah, I’ll text you with any updates.”

Natsuo smiled at you, and you couldn't help but try to return it. You grew up knowing Natsuo as Touya’s kid brother, you grew up with him being the annoying kid who tried to follow his older brother and his best friend around, but in this smile you saw Natsuo as a friend.

To this day I still miss and miss you. To this day I'm still encircled by the memories of us together. Had I caught you that day. No, had I stopped you that day. To this day would we still be friends? How would it be? Was it you who changed? Or was it me? Uh.I hate this flowing time, it's us who changed. Hey, I hate you, hey, I don't like you. Hey, even as I say these words, I miss you. The visit to Seoul Detention Center every week. I went all alone on that three-hour-long trip. The day of your trial, the day of your release.

You showed up at Touya’s trail hearing, his words to you that day hit you hard. You couldn’t help but put blame on yourself. If you had kept contact with him. If you had just called him, stopped by, or even written an email.

As you sat in between Shouto and Natsuo Todoroki your leg bounced up and down nervously, you hadn’t even realized it until Natsuo had grabbed your hand which had been resting in your lap as a way to comfort you. With one small squeeze from your newfound friend, you felt more at ease.

You knew the probability of Touya being found innocent was slim. you hadn’t spoken to any lawyers or read any official statements, but Natsuo had told you Touya had gotten into some dark shit, drugs and violence were included. He had fallen far since you both had loss contact. Here you were, a hero, a UA graduate, but your old friend was being interrogated on the stand. If you had just kept contact.

You squeezed Natsuo’s hand as you watched the jury pass down a white paper with their response to the judge. The judge unfolded it slowly and carefully read the words. With every passing moment your heart pounded harder.

“The jury finds Mr. Todoroki guilty of drug possession, grand larceny, and the use of a false identity. Five years in prison, and one year probation.”

Without even letting him say his goodbyes, the authorities dragged Touya out of the courtroom, but the look Touya shot you was word enough. He looked upset, but who wouldn't be after being sentenced. Still holding your hand, Natsuo pulled you out of the courthouse and navigated you both through the crowds of people exiting. Reporters were waiting on the courthouse steps, waiting for a chance to bombard the Todoroki family in their dire time of family crisis.

“Mr. Todoroki, is it true your brother was sentenced for murder?”

“No comment.”

Natsuo handled it well as he pulled you along with him to the Uber car he had called. The press could get so out of hand sometimes, his only concern was getting you and him away from them, he didn't even allow himself time to comprehend the bogus rumors being spread about his brother.

Once you were in the car he let go of you hand and ran his fingers though his white hair stress-fully. Murder? The press was just one of the many reasons Natsuo had chosen to pursue college instead of a career in heroics. Between his father and the reporters, that life style just seemed bad.

“Are you okay? The press can get crazy.”

“I’m alright. I’ve gotten quite used to the press since I’ve come to work for your fathers agency. A reporter once asked me if I was the number two hero’s affair woman.”

“Ha, reporters can be such jerks. They don’t even attempt to get the full story. They just assume.”

You were so consumed in each others presence, you’d forgotten about the dire circumstances of why you were together that day. Natsuo had that effect on you. He made you carefree and aloof. Forgetful of the bad things.

A light pink hue dusted Natsuo’s cheeks as he realized how close you and him were sitting next to each other. He adverted his gaze down to his hands. He was a college student now, not some dumb kid trying to follow around his older brother. He was an adult, yet he didn't know how to go about with the feelings he developed for you over the years.

He was lucky to even have your friendship. You used to think of him as Touya’s annoying little brother, yet you had a blossoming friendship now, you shared your deepest secrets. He couldn't sit back on his feelings, he had to shoot his shot. He fiddled with his hands as he looked up at you and proposed his question.

“Shouto and Fuyumi are riding home together, do you wanna stop and get coffee with me?”

You gave Natsuo a soft smile and grabbed one of his nervous, shaking hands.

“I’d really like that.”

I remember vividly it was winter with heavy snow like white tofu. And after a long time not seeing, you became a completely different person. With drowsy eyes, you asked, ‘Don't you want to try?’ I got angry and cursed at you. There's no way the you who were my only friend can return, and you became a monster. The you I used to know is gone and the me you used to know is gone. I know it's not just because of time that we changed. The me you knew is gone and the you I knew is gone.

Five years had gone and went by quickly. While it was hard with his brother in prison, Natsuo had coped by throwing himself into college and his relationship with you. Between your work at his fathers hero agency, and random drop byes to his college dorm room, Natsuo saw you everyday. He knew he loved you, you even had Endeavors stamp of approval, not that he wanted or felt he needed it.

Natsuo was ecstatic that his brother was getting out today, but he was nervous. He had begged you to be there with him once his brother came home. Not that he had to beg much, you had promised to be there as soon as he mentioned his brothers release.

Natsuo wrapped his arms around your waist from behind you and leaned his head in the crook of your neck. Much like his other siblings, Natsuo wasn't one for skin-ship, but over the years of your relationship he learned to like it. He even yearned for it from you.

“Do you think he’ll be excited to see me?”

You sat down the bag you had used to pipe icing on Touya’s cake and grabbed Natsuo’s hands that were wrapped around you. You could tell he was nervous, you could hear it in his voice.

“I’m sure he misses you. You and Fuyumi.”

“I tried visiting him, but he always turned me away... Maybe he’s angry that I didn’t push our father harder to bail him out.”

“Oh, baby... he’s not mad at you. He wouldn't let me visit either. I think he just didn't want us to see him in such a bad place.”

Natsuo placed a kiss on the side of your head before pulling away. You put a cover on the cake and turned around. With a soft smile you leaned up and kissed his cheek.

“Your brother loves and misses you, okay? I’m gonna wash up, don’t touch the cake.”

Natsuo pulls you back against him and presses his lips against your. It was chaste and quick, but it was enough to help calm him down his nerves. He was reverted back to the chill, aloof, Natsuo you knew and loved.

“No promises.”

You hadn't been in the bathroom long, but so much could happen in ten minutes. By the time you came back, you had found your boyfriend lumped on the couch, a sad shell from his usual chill self.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

You sat down next to him and pulled his form against your side. You ran your fingers through his white tips, giving his scalp a nice massage. A calming technique you picked up over the course of your relationship.

“Touya’s home. He went right up to his old room. He said he didn't want to see any of us. He didn't want to see me.”

Natsuo’s words made Touya’s look nice. During his time in prison, Touya changed. He became a colder, meaner version of himself. The car ride home with his father didn't help. If it was up to Enji, he would've given his son a longer sentence. Touya hadn't meant to, but he took his aggression out on his younger brother.

“I’m gonna try to get him to come down.”

“Don’t, just give him space.”

“I want to talk to him... Besides, we put all that work in his cake, and he didn't even try it.”

His hand shot out and grabbed onto your wrist to stop you from leaving. He knew if you went up there you'd have words with him. You were to different now. You were on a straight and narrow track to becoming a great pro hero. His brother was on the dark and murky path of a criminal, that was a truth he didn't want to admit. He knew this, yet as you shot him a smile, that smile you gave the people you saved, that heroic smile he loved, he felt at ease. This was who you were, a hero. You had to confront Touya, and he couldn't prevent that.

It wasn't long before you were on your feet and rushing to Touya’s old bedroom door. You hesitated before you knocked. This room was full of so many memories. Sleep overs and hangouts. You weren't sure you were prepared to see your old friend.

You received no response to your knock so you barged right in. The room looked different from the last time you were in it in middle school, but it stayed the same from his duration at prison.

“If I didn’t answer, than don’t come in.”

Touya rolled over in his bed to face who ever came in uninvited. At first he was angry, upset. He just wanted to be alone. Five years in prison, separated from humanity was hard to cope with. It was difficult to readjust. When he saw you that anger dissipated. His dear old friend. He wished he never cut you out of his life.

“[Y/N].”

“Touya.”

You finally got a good look at him after all these years. He’d indefinitely gotten more mussels in prison, but he was still relatively lanky. As you inspected him you noticed the blotchy, redness of his eyes.

“Are you high right now.”

He was silent and avoided your eyes, but the way he looked and the smell was undeniable. Maybe it was the hero in you, but you felt furious as you watched him.

“You just got back from prison and you're already getting baked? Drugs are what landed you in prison in the first place! Do you want to go back there?”

You weren't yelling, but scolding him. Still, Touya became agitated as you gave him a lecture. How could you sit there and judge him when you had been working for his father. The opposite of a hero.

“You don’t get the right to lecture me about what I can do in the comfort of my home. Your just my fathers employee, a crappy old friend.”

You were simply ready to deck him when Natsuo walked in and grabbed your hand to calm you. Though you weren't loud, he, Fuyumi, and Shouto could hear you all from the living room. Touya hated himself for what he said. You were more than that, so much more. He just kept misdirecting his anger.

“[Y/N] has every right to lecture you. She is my girlfriend, and she’s played a big role in our lives since you got put away. I don’t want you talking to her like that.”

Natsuo rarely argued with his elder brother. He looked up to the guy, he idolized him. This post prison Touya wasn't the man he looked up to. He wasn't the Touya he grew up with.

“Aren’t you the least bit ashamed? I look up to you, Shouto looks up to you, Fuyumi looks up to you. Or at least we did. We don’t know you anymore, and quite frankly, I don’t want Shouto around you, he’s still an impressionable teenager.”

It's not just because of time that we changed and I feel so empty. To this day I still miss and miss you. To this day I'm still encircled by the memories of us together. Had I caught you that day. No, had I stopped you that day. To this day would we still be friends? How would it be? To this day I still miss and miss you. To this day I'm still encircled by the memories of us together. Had I caught you that day. No, had I stopped you that day. To this day would we still be friends? How would it be? How would it be?

Touya hadn't talked to his brothers in weeks, despite being free to roam about in the world with the liberty to go anywhere he wants. Natsuo stayed true to his word of not wanting Shouto around him. Shouto stayed at the dorms, and on the weekends he stayed with you and Natsuo at your apartment. Endeavor didn't really care where Shouto was as long as he showed up at the training sessions.

Natsuo really had to grow up and act as a parent when Touya went away. Heaven knows Enji wasn't a real parent.

While he hadn't talked to his brothers, that didn't mean he hadn't seen them. Touya got bored of being in the house, and had rather not be there when Enji was around. He took a walk in the park, and he’d be lying if he said he hadn't known you'd be there on a picnic.

He stayed off to the side where you and Natsuo couldn't see him. It killed him to watch you. You were so happy with Natsuo. You were so happy with his brother. The way you laughed and kissed. How he fed you and hugged you from behind. You were so domestic together, so content.

He wanted that to be him. He always dreamed that he would grow up to be a hero, to be a hero with you. One day you’d date. One day you’d get married. His father discouraged him, he said he wasn't cut out to be a hero, so he listened. Touya felt he wasn't good enough so he cut you out of his life. But he was wrong, he was so wrong, you made him better. It was too late now, he fucked up and went to jail, he left his siblings to clean up after him, and you were in the loving arms of his brother. He was nothing but a criminal.

Touya didn't have anyone now. He pushed everyone away. he was a criminal, a problem child, a villain. Everything the news made him out to be. He was all alone, and he blamed Endeavor. Maybe that’s why when the Hero Killer video came out he felt compelled to follow him.

“Dear my friend, I'm sorry to let you down. I’m sorry I wasn't good enough.”

Touya hated himself for pushing you away. He hated himself for leaving his siblings alone. More so, he hated Endeavor for pushing him to believe that he wasn't worth your while, that he wasn't worthy of being a hero. He hated Endeavor, and he would get revenge.

“Dear my friend, I’m sorry for leaving, but you'll be happy with him.”

It took years for Touya to push everyone away, but it took seconds for Dabi to light his room on fire. It took years to build up his hatred and anger for his father, but it seconds for Dabi to slip out the door and claim a new life for Touya.

alright let’s talk: what is up with the todoroki family (bnha 291 analysis and theories aka 2k+ words of word vomit as i try to process this chapter)

so. we have new information and it’s not really what a lot of us were expecting. i know that i at least was expecting a story that aligned pretty closely to the story we got from shouto — just with a more, uh, tragic ending.

but well…that was wrong. so lets talk about it. what we know about the todoroki family, what we assume and try to figure out what their deal is.

so grab your beverage of choice, a snack, get comfortable, because this is probably going to be a long ride.

where it started:

ah yes. the sports festival. what an arc. and of course, it’s the arc that kicks of the “keeping up with the todorokis” arc we all know and love. here, todoroki spills his tragicTM backstory with midoriya and we are off to the races.

it’s the conversation and subsequent thoughts from shouto that shaped our understanding of the todoroki family.

so quick rundown of what was revealed:

endeavour bought rei. it was a quirk marriage and endeavour was only after rei’s ice quirk.

shouto was raised to be a hero who surpasses all might, to fulfill endeavour’s own ambition

shouto only remembers his mom always crying

endeavour created shouto to surpass all might

generally implies that at this point in time, he doesn’t view shouto as much more than a means to an end (his perfect little doll, anyone?)

he’s not impressed with shouto’s rebellion

he views shouto as his greatest creation, his masterpiece

he was already in training at 5 years old, trained to the point in which he threw up (revealed in shouto’s memory)

shouto was kept separated from his siblings (revealed through memory)

rei states that the children are becoming more like endeavour and that she sees endeavour in his left side (revealed through memory)

endeavour sent rei to the hospital after that for injuring shouto (revealed through memory)

shouto had suppressed memories of rei and her encouraging him to still be a hero and that his power is his own

so wow a lot of information provided in this arc. and it’s really important to recognize that it’s this information that most assumptions were built off of. any new information provided up until now could reasonably fit into the narrative shouto laid out in his conversations and his memories, and so they were.

but was that wrong to do? in re-examining this arc, and in light of new information there are a few key factors that should be addressed:

it’s almost entirely from shouto’s perspective. all the information we get is through shouto’s eyes. (with a little bit from endeavour — but not much)

shouto is a kid, the youngest and in this arc has already proven he is capable and did forget and misremember incidents and events. his perspective is in no way 100% reliable.

shouto only blames two people for the negative events in his life. himself, and mainly — endeavour. in this arc (though it has since seemed to change), he was willing to and did see endeavour in the worst light possible (for valid reason but nonetheless, he wasn’t inclined to give endeavour the benefit of the doubt)

the point of going over this? in moving forward breaking down the rest: it’s really important to consider that there is valid reason to believe that shouto could be wrong. or maybe not wrong, but not fully right either. like us, he’s probably made assumptions about his own family based on his own experience. and while most of it is probably founded and he has good reason to believe it that doesn’t mean it’s true.

so how can we figure out what is true?

other perspectives:

good thing we’ve got a few other perspectives to look at. so what do we know from the other members of the todoroki family.

rei has been pretty far removed from the family since her hospitalization. she’s been improving and now has a good relationship with most of her children. she actually vouches for endeavour to natsuo despite everything.

fuyumi lives with shouto and endeavour. she is the most vocal about wanting to give him another chance, and has hopes for them to be a family again.

natsuo was close with touya before he “died”. perhaps the most against endeavour out of the bunch. endeavour was a stranger to him but natsuo holds the neglect and treatment of shouto, rei and touya against him.

notice so far there is a pretty definitive through line here.

rei and fuyumi both seem more inclined to give endeavour another chance. both reference positive attributes and fuyumi has admitted to wanting to be a family again.

natsuo and shouto (to different extents) both never reference anything good endeavour might have done. the closest we get seems to be shouto admitting endeavour is a good hero. both never reflect on their relation to endeavour with anything resembling fondness. and while shouto seems open to idea that endeavour could try to be better, both have made it clear that they are unfamiliar with what a “better” endeavour would look like.

the most important note here considering the new information: natsuo and shouto are the youngest in the family. natsuo is four years old than shouto, meaning most of his memories are probably from after shouto’s birth (ie after endeavour got his “perfect” child), with a few from a few years before. and obviously shouto has no memories of a time before he was born.

fuyumi and rei on the other hand, both probably have a fair amount of memories from before shouto. fuyumi would have been around 7 at the time of shouto’s birth and rei of course has been around since the beginning.

so why does this matter?

well because it makes it a lot easier to understand some of the information we received in 291. speaking of which, now that we’ve established all this — let’s dig into that.

the pre-shouto family

291 gives us the first time we see the todoroki family before shouto’s birth. and again, while making no arguments on whether or not todoroki enji was a good father or not, it’s clear that it was very different.

some major points:

endeavour speaks about touya in a way that is very different from the way endeavour spoke about shouto back in the sports festival. and in general. it’s unclear if this difference is related to how endeavour feels about touya and shouto or if it’s a pre-atonement v seeking-atonement endeavour. nonetheless - it’s interesting to note.

endeavour comments about being fine (happy?) with the fact that neither touya or fuyumi had his dream quirk. while he hadn’t forget about it, at the time he believed touya could fulfill his ambitions and wasn’t necessarily pushing for a child with the half-hot/half-cold quirk.

touya wanted to train. the scene in the training room with touya was very different from the scenes with shouto. despite the harm his quirk caused him, touya seemed to be enthusiastic about training.

rei agreed to having more kids thinking that it would be good for the siblings to be able to encourage each other. the siblings weren’t separated before shouto to our knowledge.

endeavour reveals that he kept searching for touya.

an important note: all the perspectives—literally all of them—contradict each other to some extent. i talk about how all the todorokis are unreliable to some extent here, but for the purposes of this chapter: i’m assuming endeavour’s to be the most correct. largely because at the time of the events in question age-wise, endeavour was the most capable of remembering accurately. he could very well be downplaying things, or have misread situations — however, since his atonement arc begun, he’s been able to recognize some his wrongdoings and the pain he cause his family. i’m not saying his perspective is entirely true, just that it’s probably more accurate than dabi. regardless…

so once again i pose the question: what the fuck does all this mean?

well…

endeavour was probably kind of…okay, until ~around~ shouto’s birth.

the implications of what that means for shouto sucks. but given the information we have, that seems like the most likely situation. but let me be clear:

i’m not saying he was good. i’m just saying he wasn’t awful yet.

and when you think about it, it makes a lot more sense them him being awful the entire time. it’s clear that no matter what, endeavour was after someone to succeed him and be better than him — but it’s the most overpowering when he talks about shouto.

yes. he did marry rei at least partially because of her quirk. but keep in mind that we don’t have any reference for how they met/got married beyond shouto, who as previously established isn’t the most reliable in regards to his family’s dynamics.

BUT while he did train touya, it didn’t seem to be as forceful as it was with shouto. if they were more of a family unit prior to shouto’s birth, a lot of rei and fuyumi’s accounts, feelings and beliefs have a lot more foundation. fuyumi’s aspirations for the todoroki’s to be a family isn’t unfounded because she has memories of a time that they were, unlike natsuo and shouto. rei’s belief in endeavour having the potential to be a good man makes a lot more sense if there was a time that he was.

keep in mind that while the endeavour we know was very focused on the rankings, he did ultimately choose to be a hero. and that has connotations about his character.

so at long last what is up with the todorokis.

well let me give you my best guess:

what if enji and rei married — not necessarily out of love, but not a straight up arranged marriage either. i think maybe enji initially noticed rei because of her quirk, and they went through some weird strange version of courting. obviously, they had conversations because at some point he learned that about rei’s favourite flower. so maybe it wasn’t love. but with the information we have from all sources, i think there is a lot more we don’t know yet about this story.

they had their first kid, touya. when touya’s quirk developed, enji probably started teaching touya how to use it. the two of them probably spent a lot of time together and enji’s approach to training touya was probably much gentler than his approach with shouto. he also was well aware of touya’s weakness since it was a more extreme version of his overheating. nonetheless, touya wanted to be trained and endeavour could see the potential touya had, putting his ambitions on his first son.

rei and enji agreed to have another kid. rei wanted touya to have a sibling and enji was still hoping for someone with a balance of both quirks. when fuyumi didn’t have both, he thought it was fine and continued forward working with touya.

now we have next to no information about the time around natsuo’s birth. my guess is that things were pretty status quo. the scene with touya and enji in the training room, touya looks to be somewhere between 5-7 maybe. so i’d guess that it took place somewhere around natsuo’s birth (probably shortly after)

i think that scene, is when enji probably started to realize the hard limit touya was facing with his quirk. which could have been the start of a downward descent. maybe endeavour started trying to train the weakness out of touya. maybe he got more intense. maybe he started neglecting touya at this point. it was probably the first big step onto the major slippery slope endeavour was about to go down. what he wants is no longer necessarily achievable and his ambition begins to get the better of him.

he probably was slowly starting to guess that maybe touya wouldn’t necessarily live up to his aspirations — but he still didn’t have a better option.

and then shouto came into the picture.

i’m not saying shouto’s birth was a complete 180 for endeavour. nor was it in any way shouto’s fault. but i do think it was the figurative final straw in enji’s descent. the catalyst.

by best estimate touya would have been around 9 when shouto was born (running off of the theory that dabi currently around 24). so sometime between dabi being 9 and 14, enji put all his attention onto shouto.

and think about that moment: shouto is born and at some point it becomes apparent that he has the quirk endeavour has dreamed of. and the reactions start to make sense here.

endeavour who has long since dreamed of this, forgets everything else. it’s a point of obsession for him. up until now, half-hot/half-cold was theoretical. and he fucks up big time. cuts off the other kids, is brutal to shouto, because he has a clear path to victory now. shouto just has to be perfect. and this cause not only for him not to really view shouto as a kid. but also to destroy his relationship with touya.

touya still a young kid at the time goes from probably training and spending time with his dad everyday to never seeing him. after having the entirety of his life up till this point being told that he is endeavour’s successor, he’ll be able to do what endeavour couldn’t and then getting replaced, it’s a jarring shift. and it makes dabi’s grievances make sense.

everything touya has known has changed going from being the favoured child to being completely ignored and neglected. and cue his rapid descent. his crying to natsuo about why he existed because he doesn’t know anymore. the fact that ultimately the belief up until this point was that he pushed his quirk too hard alone and that lead to his death. his taunting of shouto as a puppet for endeavour.

meanwhile shouto is suffering through what we know he’s been suffering through.

and yeah from here on out, endeavour is an awful dad. but as of right now, most of the evidence in my best interpretation of it leads to the idea that maybe he wasn’t as awful at the start.

but also, it gives reason for endeavour’s “redemption” arc. when he got what he wanted in becoming number 1, his whole reason for creating and hyper focusing on shouto was reduced to nothing. so he starts to realize the affect his ambitions have had on his family. the idea that endeavour could be capable of any sort of true atonement feels a lot more likely if you consider that he has and has demonstrated the ability to not be a flaming piece of trash person in the past.

the want for atonement, todoroki enji’s current characterization just makes a lot more sense if you view it as something that didn’t come out of nothing. as something that was always there, just pushed aside in favour of relentlessly pursuing his goals. and it makes sense that the real bad stuff would have kicked in once it seemed like his idea failed with touya and then receiving exactly what he wanted in shouto.

so yeah: that’s what i personally think is up with the todoroki family history. there’s so much to talk about and i definitely missed somethings so full apologies if i forgot about any glaring facts.

there’s a lot more that could be said. and there’s some smaller topics related to somethings mentioned here that i want to dig into a bit more.

until then, this has gotten way too long so anyone who actually made it to the bottom here—thanks! feel free to come yell at me about endeavour or dabi or shouto or anything else really. this is a super interesting arc and it’s great to see so many elements coming back into play.

also i do want to mention: my whole stance on the “is dabi right? is endeavour right? who is good?” is pretty generally neither. i think endeavour and dabi are both very strong characters that operate in that morally grey area. while i’m not necessarily a fan of the endeavour redemption—knowing what we know now it makes a bit more sense to me. at the end of the day, right now, both have done awful things and neither should really be excused for what they’ve done. but no one has to be right or good. they are both deeply flawed characters and that’s what makes them very interesting to follow. so props to hori for executing them really really really well. love them or hate them, the parallel’s and arcs between endeavour and dabi are very interesting to explore, and i’m living for it.

my opinion is in general to stop fighting over who’s right or good or at fault or justified and just like idk, enjoy the story.

any way, i’m done. until next time!

Hero Deku meets Singer Shouto

Hi @ire-mired, I’m your secret santa for the @bnhagiftexchange. Sorry you had to wait so long for this. I hope you enjoy this, it was really hard to pick between the ships and I hope the story was good. It’s more pre-relationship but it just worked out. I thought since I was doing singer!Shouto, I thought it’d be cool to have Quirkless Hero!Izuku as well. There’s a little easter egg from the todoshindeku story ‘Heroics and Other Things That Don’t Require Superheros’ by @thenarator if you’re interested. I hope you enjoy!

Izuku climbed out of the town car. He still felt weird about being carted around like this. Even when he was in civilian clothes, he tended to use his high air pressured shoes to hop around everywhere. Which of course is half of where all those bunny comments came from but it was easier. Public transport got crowded when they realised the quirkless hero Deku was on the same train or bus as them.

But he could keep his comments about it to himself today. Today was special.

“Deku, welcome! We can’t thank you enough for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come today.” The man waiting by the door said, once the hero was close enough. He was in a suit and seemed perfectly put together but he didn’t reek of ‘I’m-to-good-for-everyone’.

“Of course I made time. I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”

“The kids will be so happy their favourite hero came. You have no idea how much they look up to you.”

“That makes me very happy to hear. Shall we get started?” Izuku asked.

“Of course, right this way. And thank you again for taking the back entrance. We’re all for press taking interest in our cause, but they tend to be a bit overzealous. We handpicked a few to be inside with us. Thank you for the recommendations.”

“My pleasure.”

Izuku walked through the community centre, wishing once again this existed when he was a kid. He was born quirkless, part of the 1%. Growing up had been horrible. Bullied by his best friend (who eventually apologized and was once again on good terms with), treated horribly by prejudice teachers and neighbours, feeling like a burden to his mother, who didn’t know how to encourage him. He’d even been told by his idol All Might he couldn’t be a hero, the one thing he wanted more than anything in the world. He was surprised to later find out, that same day he met the famed hero and found out his secret, to also find out he’d once been quirkless.

“I had forgotten what it was like to wish for something as simple as someone telling me I could. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be the one to tell you that when you needed to hear it.”

All Might – Yagi Toshinori, had offered him his quirk, but in that split second, all Izuku could think of was, ‘what if I can tell someone they can be a hero?’. He’d been quirkless his whole life and it felt like if he said yes, he’d forget where he came from and everything, he faced years later. So he turned down the quirk. When he explained his reasoning, Toshinori smiled.

“Yes, I think we deserve a hero who can prove quirks aren’t everything. Would you still take my offer on helping you get ready for the exams?”

Years later, he’d made it, the first quirkless hero. He still got slander and got yelled at by bigoted people for ‘putting ideas into people’s heads’ but he felt proud of himself. He’d been put into the General Studies class and met Shinsou Hitoshi, a guy with what people considered a villain’s quirk. Together, they proved to everyone that their quirks, or lack thereof, wouldn’t make them unfit heroes. After 3 years with dealing with the League of Villains, internships and general high school drama, he and Hitoshi opened up their agency, with a few of their other class and school mates, Underdog Agency. Name being a tiny bit misleading for those who didn’t know the heroes behind it, but it fit them to a T.

Now whenever he was asked, and he could fit it in between patrols, paperwork and general heroing, he’d go to talks about quirkless kids, charity events, visit schools, anything he could to help lower the stigmatism of quirkless people and to give them a bit of hope. They could be whatever they wanted to be, no matter what anyone said.

This event, was a fundraising event held a community centre geared towards people without quirks. There was a performance stage that was live streamed, mixed in with a silent auction and him, Deku talking with all the kids and visiting people. Just his name alone was bringing in money for the centre. The main gathering area was filled with kids, who’s attention was all on a stage with bright lights all focused on one person.

Split red and white hair, enchanting dual eyes and the grace of season dancer with the voice of an angel. God, he could hear Hitoshi teasing him already.

“I didn’t know Shouto would be here.” He said, trying to sound nonchalant. He didn’t think he sold it but thankfully, the director didn’t know him well enough to guess what he was thinking.

“Well a decent number of our kids unfortunately deal with abusive households or family members. We’ve only just started getting to help these kids so they aren’t forced to be subjected to a quirk heavy view in placing them in new homes or even helping them. Shouto has always been an advocate for helping kids from abusive households, no matter what their quirk or lack thereof. A few kids had written him letters and he apparently rearranged his whole schedule to be here tonight. If you’d like, we’d be more than willing to introduce you to him?”

Introduce him to the guy whose songs have been working as encouragement since his second year after he debuted? It was like a dream come true.

“Sure.”

_____________

Shouto didn’t like heroes. Well, to be more accurate, he didn’t like top tier heroes. They got away with whatever they wanted and nothing could be changed. It didn’t matter that the small burst of courage that came over his sister to film his father’s ‘training’ and upload it had exposed the Number 2 hero and the corrupt Hero’s Commission, things didn’t change. The Commission might be scrutinized by the public, but he refused to believe they’d actually stick to their promise of being better.

It was easy to lose himself in the world of singing. His mother did it a lot, still did. After his father was gone, finally gone, he felt lost. He could have been a hero; prove he’d be better than his father but the idea of following in his footsteps filled him with so much dread. He didn’t attend school for a whole semester, trying to figure out what to do with his life. They moved closer to the countryside, away from the public eye and he’d been helping out at a local festival, lending his voice to one of the dance performances when the lady came up to him. She was on vacation with her friends but she couldn’t shut off her work brain after hearing him sing.

“An idol?” Fuyumi had asked in confusion, trying to wrap her head around the whole thing. “Shouto?”

“His voice is amazing. He’d be a trainee for a while and if the company thinks he can make it, he’d debut. How far he’ll go would be up to him, fans and the company but he’d learn so many skills as a trainee. Just think about it. You wouldn’t have to go there until next month for the monthly meeting with new recruits.”

And he did think about it. A lot. It had been his mother who eventually helped him decide. Even while still in the hospital in the city, after his father’s arrest he finally convinced himself to see his mother. She still loved him and always would.

“Would you want to sing?” she had asked.

“I guess? I’ve been doing it more often. But if I do this, what if he sees and he tries to come after me?”

“Shouto,” she said calmly. Her, the one who was still hurt from everything she had to endure from the person she called a husband. “He’s never going to come after you. you have a chance to do something you want to do. But it’s up to you. I know it’s been hard to figure out where you want to go from here, but remember, you can make your choice now. So, do you want to sing?”

So he decided to at least become a trainee. Moving back to the city was scary. He had to convince himself that his dad wasn’t going to come swoping in and lock him away. The Commission had been dragging their feet in offering any sort of support, which made him dislike them even more, even in the new era of it. But being a trainee made it easy to forget it. If he worked harder than everyone, it wasn’t because he was forced, it was because he wanted to. His siblings would still drag him away from practise if it was getting to be too much. He learned to dance and found he was good at it. He learned to speak different languages. He learned how to make friends, enemies and everything in between.

So when they said he would debut, he agreed, because right there on the stage, was what felt right to him. That still didn’t mean he liked heroes.

With his advocacy to kids in abusive homes, he met a lot of heroes who’d show up to support or even PR related. Very few of them did he actual end up liking, having to keep a smile on in front of kids, but letting his blank face take hold if the ones he didn’t like tried talking to him privately. When he heard there was a hero coming to this charity event for quirkless kids, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Bring a hero in a room full of kids who didn’t have quirks of their own? That outta be good.

He was focused on signing the books and sheets the kids passed to him that he almost didn’t see the director of the charity wave him over. Standing next to him had to be the hero, judging from his green suit and metal face guard that sat around his neck. He did notice the shoes he was wearing, red high tops. Thing was, he’d seen the same pair of shoes, in different colours, on the feet of the kids. Why would a hero wear a brand of shoes made for quirkless people?

“Shouto, I’d like to introduce you to our hero celebrity for the night, Deku. Deku, our celebrity performer, Shouto.”

“Nice to meet you.” the hero Deku said, bright smile on his face. At least it looked genuine.

“Pleasure.”

“Oh my gosh! It’s the Quirkless Hero Deku!” one of the kids shouted and before they knew it, they were surrounded by kids, most of them trying to hang off the tall hero.

Quirkless Hero? He’d never heard of him, but then again, he tended to ignore heroes in general. But at least the kids wouldn’t feel awkward with a hero flexing their quirk when they had none.

“Shouto, did you see? Deku came!” one of the younger girls said, hanging off his arm. “He’s quirkless just like us. He has a lot of support items and he’s really smart! He was able to create a plan to take down that huge crime ring, did you hear about that?”

He’d been living in a recording studio around then so not really, but he nodded anyway. The kids seemed excited and the guy seemed genuine, so clearly, he must not be that bad. He watched him talk to the kids, a huge smile on his face, answering questions just as quickly as they were thrown at him.

Shouto didn’t like top tier heroes, but it seemed that Deku wasn’t that bad. He hoped he didn’t disappoint.

�� _________________

Talking with the kids kept his spirits up when having to talk to adults, some of whom had some annoying backhanded comments to make about quirkless people. It was annoying some were only giving money to make themselves look better but he’d rather put up with comments then have the kids get no support and live with life just as bad as he used to have it. Shame Hitoshi couldn’t come, people tended to forget when they got full of themselves how easy it was for Hitoshi to take control and make them do things. Only minor, he was a hero after all, but then again, who didn’t have a short fuse for annoying people?

“Excuse me,” a voice interrupted. It was Shouto. His shirt had been unbuttoned a bit after his performance and his clothes were rumpled from all the kids who’d been hanging off of him. “Do you mind if I steal Deku?”

“Ah. I have to ask; you have such a powerful quirk? Why waste it singing around on stage?” one of the doners, who’d also been giving well disguised scathing comments about quirkless people – Izuku really wanted to punch him, or at least throw him out – asked.

“Maybe because unlike some people, I don’t have to flaunt my quirk to be liked. Excuse us.” Shouto said, before pulling Izuku away. “Asshole.” He muttered, loud enough for Izuku to hear.

“I was pretty close to punching him myself. Downside to doing these events, some of those guys slip through and you have to remind yourself that their money helps make the kids’ lives better.”

Shouto had pulled them to a less populated area of the room and took a seat on the floor. There were seats nearby but the dual haired singer seemed quite at home on the floor, so he sat next to him, keeping a decent distance between them. he had been able to keep his fanboying down – Toshinori would be so proud – and he didn’t want to mess up now.

“I have to admit, I was surprised to hear there was a quirkless hero. When I heard a hero was coming, all I could think was that some oversized ego UA graduate was just gonna flaunt their quirk and make some of these kids feel bad.”

“Well, some heroes have less flashy quirks, would that of been so bad?” he wasn’t insulted that Shouto never heard of him. The agency wasn’t as big as some of the others, Hitoshi worked mostly underground and even though he was good, people still liked to disregard him as a hero due to the lack of his quirk. He didn’t care. He graduated from Class A of UA, made an agency right out of school and worked with bigger heroes on missions they needed his help with. The people who mattered noticed him and he was helping kids like him to believe they could do anything.

“I guess. To be honest, I’m not a fan of heroes. I know with how much that’s being given by some of these people, they’d have to bring in a big hero but also be sensitive to the kids. How have I never heard of you?”

Izuku scratched the back of his head. “I’m 8 on the ranking list? Most of the time they tend to ignore me since I’m quirkless. A lot of people still think I shouldn’t do this without a quirk.”

Shouto looked surprised. “You’re in the top 10 and they think you shouldn’t be doing this? What are they idiots?”

“Well, I was taught by the former Number 1 and I’ve seen the pressure it puts on people, so as long as the people who matter know I’m there to protect them, that’s all that matters.”

Shouto hummed thoughtfully. “Kinda like me and singing, I guess. The guy was right, I do have a pretty powerful quirk but…” he trailed off, like he didn’t know how to word what he said next. “I didn’t want to be a hero. I wanted to be something else. So I decided to sing.”

“I know.” It kinda came out of him without permission, but Izuku was known for just going with it once he started something. “You debuted during my second year. Surprisingly, things got a lot more intense during second year, this coming from a graduate of a class singled out by the League. Your songs gave me a boost to keep pushing forward. So, I wanted to say thank you. I know you didn’t sing to you know, do that, but I’m glad you decided to do it.”

Before Shouto could open his mouth, a group of kids came rushing over, jumping on the two adults.

“Shouto, can we braid your hair? It’s so long! You said we could do it later since you had to perform.”

“Deku, is it true you wanted to look like a bunny?”

“Why does everyone keep saying that?” Izuku asked out loud.

“Because your hood has ears.” The child answered matter-of-factly.

“It’s supposed to be All Might’s hair.” He muttered before deciding to distract them by asking the kids their favourite things to do. The girls who came over had already made quick work ok tying up his hair with a random bag of hairties.

“Fan of All Might?” Shouto asked around the working hands. He seemed completely at ease with his head being moved around every two seconds

“Well, he was quirkless for most of his life. I found that out when I first met him and that’s what helped me decide to really try and be a hero without a quirk.”

“That’s why he’s our favourite!” one of the kids said, making himself quite at home on Izuku’s lap.

“Well I hope I can still inspire you guys to go after your dreams. Just know even if it seems like no one does, I believe in you guys. Always will.”

That statement did lead to all the kids jumping on him in happiness, sending him tumbling back. He saw Shouto smiling down at him, still looking amazing with his messy hair.

_______________

The silent auction was coming to an end and he and Deku had been asked to announce the winners. To keep the kids from distracting them, they waited in a small office not far from the main area.

“So, what does Japan’s first quirkless hero when he’s not advocating for quirkless people?” Shouto asked, shaking his head as he pulled out all the messy braids.

“when I’m not heroing? My best friend Hitoshi takes me to all these cat cafes and I take the chance to try out all the match au late they have. I remember I had this amazing one on I-Island. I’ve been trying to find one just as good since.”

“Well, the ones they have at the café at my company’s building are pretty good. You should come by.” The singer took in the hero’s surprised face. He wasn’t into heroes, but this one was one of the decent ones, even a really good one. “remind me to give you my number later and when you have time, I can show you. plus, their cakes are to die for.”

“Shouto, Deku, we’re ready for you.” the director called before the hero could give an answer.

The singer sent a smile over his shoulder, enjoying how red the hero had become. He did get Deku’s number by the end of the night, plus his name.

Izuku. Hmm, maybe he’d get to call him that more often.

“So this is where you’re hiding, Freckles.”

Startled, Izuku swivels around and sees an approaching dark figure cloaked by the shadows of the Astronomy Tower. “Touya,” he says, warmth resting on the surface of his chest. “What are you doing here?”

“Your little friends were running around like headless chickens looking for you all dinner,” Touya says with a careless shrug.

Izuku winces. “I wasn’t hungry.”

Touya’s legs carry him right beside Izuku. Elbows brace on the railings as he leans his back against it, adopting a casual and dismissive posture, but the intensity of his focus is all on Izuku. “Did the Angry Bird do something to upset you again?”

Izuku’s lips thin out and he looks away briefly, unwilling to meet to meet Touya's expectant gaze.

Silence.

“Ah,” Touya clicks his tongue knowingly, “should I kick his ass for you?” he offers, flexing his right hand pointedly. He always liked to resort to his fists more than his wand to get his point across, even though Izuku knows he’s arguably one of the best duelists in Hogwarts.

Coolly indifference and aloof, Todoroki Touya neither stood out nor slipped under the radar completely. Purposely not showing off all cards he wields, keeps all his secrets and talents close to his chest. It’s something that upset the Todoroki patriarch gravely, which is precisely why Touya never give his all to any of his classes. The hateful mind games that Touya often play with his father is equally confusing and troubling.

Izuku has little hope in ever understanding it.

“No, thank you,” he politely declines, turning back to look at the stars once more. It’s quiet up here. Just the perfect place to hide and sulk in peace. Mostly. “I think I’m more upset with myself than him. I stupidly thought that we were far past that now.”

Touya doesn’t say anything to that; his face is a placid mask of inscrutableness. The only sound that cut through the air between them as silence reigns is the steady rhythm of Touya’s fingers tapping against the metal railing.

He waits patiently for Izuku to continue.

“I-I,” Izuku chokes up on the hurt he had been nursing all day, “I forgave him a long time ago because, you know, for all his arrogance and sense of superiority over lowblood muggleborns like me he wasn’t necessarily cruel. He just didn’t like the idea of having a mate this weak.” He can still vividly recall the revulsion in Katsuki’s eyes when even at six, Izuku still hadn’t shown a trace of magic in him. “Kacchan is practically a wizarding world royalty; a strong pureblood lineage with a powerful tie to a magical beast. His mate should be someone of his worth and standing, but he got me instead.” He laughs humorlessly. “No wonder he had hated me back then. I was a squib for the first ten years of my life before I met Professor Toshinari,” he says. It’s not as much of a black stained of his past anymore, something he’d long accepted it, but the scar is still fresh in his heart. “Then coming to Hogwarts I was sorted into the house he’d thought was the weakest and most pathetic.”

For someone as prideful as Katsuki to have to settle for a mate like him, it must have been a crushing blow to realize this at such a young age. It was no surprised to Izuku that Katsuki had chosen spurn him, but even as he gets the why of it all, it doesn’t make it any less hurtful then and now.

He wraps his arms around himself as though it can protect him from the memories of those painful first years. Alone and adrift with nobody to lean on, Izuku had fought long and hard to earn his place and friends he got now, but in his darkest moment he doesn’t feel it is enough.

Katsuki always manages to shine brightly no matter where he is and who is around him. So strong and smart and a juggernaut in magical power, he is Izuku’s ultimate goal. He didn’t even dare to dream to being Katsuki’s mate just as long as he was allowed to stand by his side, but even that was an unforgiveable wish.

“S-sometimes, I think he only bothers to even look at me now is because I’m not that useless little squib anymore,” Izuku confesses his deepest and darkest fear, setting it free into the world at last—the thing that had haunted his dreams for so long. “He never shown any romantic interest in me and now suddenly he wants to take me to the Yule Ball?” he demands heatedly. “Without even asking any of my opinion on it?! Especially when he’d told me how he hated the idea of having a mate in the first place because he was stuck with someone like me!”

Upset swiftly gives way to a deep seeded hurt as he recalls that afternoon in the library and the look on Katsuki’s face when Izuku outright rejected his assumption that they were going to the Yule Ball together.

He didn’t bother to ask. Didn’t seem to care about how Izuku feel at all.

“He’s a stupid, arrogant little shit,” Touya says cuttingly. It’s the first words he had spoken since he’d let Izuku took over their conversation. “Should have hexed him when I saw him earlier.” His fingers curl tightly around the handrail.

Izuku smiles crookedly. “Please don’t.”

“Some people aren’t worthy of your forgiveness, Freckles,” Touya states quietly, but the words carry weight. It hangs heavy in the air between them like a knife edge. The words are meant for Katsuki, but the intent behind it is aim as much toward Todoroki Enji as Touya, himself.

His knuckles go white as the railing seems to bend under force of Touya’s resolution, because for all his callousness toward the world, Touya is even harsher to himself.

“That depends on me, doesn’t it?” Izuku muses, looking at Touya pointedly. “Don’t I get to decide that?”

“Not everyone deserves your kind of absolution,” Touya bites back. “There is a wretched lot of people in this world who should just be left alone to rot in their sins.”

Izuku heaves a sigh, turning around to face Touya with grim determination. “Kacchan had messed up, and I was hurt because of it,” he admits, “but I don’t think he did it out of malicious intent. Ignorant, yes, but hardly cruel. If he was anything like that, he wouldn’t have to look so wounded when I confronted on it. Acknowledgement is the first step to righting a wrong. Regret is the second.” He smiles softly at Touya, carefully running a hand down his scarred arm covered up by his robe—a crisscrossing map of untold violent left behind by a sectumsempra curse thrown his way.

Touya doesn’t flinch, but it’s a near thing. That bloody night was only a year ago, but it’s still have been still fresh in his mind.

“I forgave Kacchan for how he had mistreated me, and I forgave you, Touya, for the wounds you’ve given me.” His smile widens as Touya deliberately turns his gaze away, his fingers tapping an insistent beat that ring into the night. “It may be stupid of me, but I feel lighter for it. Now, forgiving yourself is another matter entirely,” he says cheerfully.

Touya raises a hand to his face and groans into it. “Are we still talking about Bakugou or is this some kind of subtext I’m supposed to read between the lines?”

“Both,” Izuku answers with a grin.

“Your hopeless optimism is truly revolting,” he grumbles, flexing his hand once more.

“I try,” Izuku says, lips twitching. He glances down at Touya’s hand, clenching and unclenching around the handrail. It has been twitchy all night. “You know, I can see you trying to resist lighting up a smoke. Just do it already.” He shrugs.

It’s a habit Touya unfortunately had picked up since he’d seen it in a film in Muggle Studies—a class he’d chosen mostly to rile up his father and to go against his family’s pureblood code, but Izuku thinks it’s also because he’s actually like it.

Tenya, who is also in that class, always came back with a complaint about how weird it is that a seventh year Slytherin pureblood like Todoroki Touya, who adopted the moniker Dabi just to spite his father, easily took to Muggle Studies and even bother to go to Izuku for tutoring on it.

Izuku simply shook his head and smiled in answer to his friend's general confusion. It’s the same way he also responded when they question of his strange and enigmatic friendship with a rebellious Slytherin boy two years his elder, an outcast even to his own house.

It’s not so much that Izuku won’t answer, it’s because he can’t.

Their friendship is as mysterious to outsiders as it is to them. There is Touya. who comfortably and easily wields the dark arts like he was bred for it and just on the edge of slipping over to the dark side completely, and Izuku, who is born to the light and destine to forever fight the Dark Lord until one of them die, who stand on the opposing side—the Savior of the Wizarding World and the One Who Will Fall; Izuku and Touya. Touya and Izuku.

Opposite and opposed in their ideals. But that is not all they are. Not all they have chosen to be.

Touya, who had found Izuku at his worst, saw a crumbled mess in the boy’s bathroom in Izuku’s first year when he was beaten by the older students for his polluted blood and his lack of magic, and had broken all the bullies’ arms that night as he laughed at their pain and suffering.

This was how they met, Izuku who had suffered under their cruelty and Touya who had dealt the callous hand victory. One fell victim to violent and other begot it.

Touya didn’t do it for Izuku, he didn’t even know Izuku then. But to an eleven years old who was far away from home and didn’t have a single friend who he could turn to that first few months, Touya was his saving grace even when he couldn’t rightfully call Touya a friend then.

So, no, Izuku couldn’t explain his friendship with Touya, not for the scars that Touya had given him and certainly not for the way he would sometimes catch Touya looking at him with such inscrutable longing in his eyes that Izuku’s heart would throb at the sight of it.

His friends had strongly tried to discourage it, Katsuki had tried to forbid it, and even Touya’s youngest brother, Shouto, had tried to warn him against it, yet here they both are alone and sharing the same space in the Astronomy Tower, and Izuku has never felt safer.

“No.” Touya scowls, stilling his anxious hands that have been itching to hold a cigarette all night. “I won’t smoke.”

Izuku blinks. “Why not?”

He grimaces and looks heavenward as though Izuku was being frustrating on purpose. “You don’t like it,” Touya finally says.

“Oh,” he says stupidly for lack of any better word

“Don’t read into it,” Touya snaps with a furious, embarrassed growl.

Izuku stifles a giggle as he says, “Too late.”

Touya scowls even harder now. “So are you going to let me know if I should punch Bakugou or not?” he says, trying to divert the topic to Izuku’s earlier problem. “I don’t mind teaching him a lesson.”

Holding back a sigh, Izuku roll his eyes. “I said already no, so please don’t pick a fight with him.”

Katsuki is already annoyed at the thought of Izuku and Touya’s somewhat amicable relationship in public so if he finds out that they actually often meet up in the Astronomy Tower alone to have a heart to heart talk often that Izuku couldn’t even share with his closest friends, he would be beyond furious. Enough to even trigger to his veela’s anger and set the castle on fire, possibly.

“Then are you going to go to the Yule ball with him?” Touya asks with a pinched look on his face, like the thought of it pain him, but he has to ask, anyway.

Izuku frowns. “Yes, wait—no. Maybe, I don’t know.” He shakes his head. “The pain is still fresh right now, so I’m not sure I can say yes if he asks me again this instant.”

“And what if he apologizes?” he presses.

Izuku chews on his lower lip in thought. “Well, perhaps then. But I might not even go to the Yule Ball at all. It only gives me headache so far.” Why does the Yule Ball require dates, anyway? So embarrassing and stressful.

Touya sighs, rolling his head back. “Who cares, just go with your friends instead. Screw Bakugou and his stupid feathers brain.”

Izuku pouts, crossing his arms. “All my friends got a date for the ball. I would be the awkward third wheel in the group.”

“You kids and your teenage drama,” he mutters like he isn’t one himself as Izuku sulks beside him. A significant beat passes between them, then, quietly, he says, “Just go with me then.”

Izuku opens his mouth, stops, and opens it again. “You hate this kind of thing,” he accuses, staring at Touya with heavy skepticism. The Todoroki likes to host a lot of these social functions as the premier pureblood family in wizarding society and Touya can’t stand any of it, always finding a way to either crash it or avoid it as much as possible.

“I do,” he admits grimly.

Izuku’s brows furrow. “Then why?”

He straightens up, pushes himself away from the railings, and turns to Izuku with a glare. “Because I’ll do it for you.”

“Oh,” Izuku says again, and just as stupid as the first time around. “Oh.” And blushes furiously, hoping Touya can’t see any of it. Merlin, he hopes the moon and the stars are the only witnesses to his embarrassment. “W-well, um,” he starts, grasping for an answer as his brain frizz out at the sudden proposal, “you know that is, uh, I would love to, but Kacchan and I, well, we’re—”

A hand flies toward his face and almost crashing into it as it cuts off the rest of his rambling speech. “Just stop it already, I can see you struggling.” Touya roll his eyes, dropping his hand back to his side. He heaves a sigh, square his shoulders, and stares at Izuku right in the eyes—a stormy sea of turquoise that threaten to swallow Izuku whole if he’s not careful. “If you want to go with Bakugou that’s fine, but if you want to go with someone else, also fine. It doesn’t matter who you take as long as you’re happy,” he tells Izuku firmly. “I’m not asking you to go to the Yule Ball with me. I’m telling you that I’m an option. You can make me your last resort if you don’t want to go alone.”

Ah, there is that throb again, Izuku thinks as he reaches a hand over his heart. “And you’re fine with being use like that? It doesn’t seem quite fair to you.”

Touya’s hand rises like he’s about to reach for Izuku, but it quickly falls and tucks behind his back. “It doesn’t matter to me, Freckles,” he says, shrugging carelessly.

“You’re very kind, Touya,” Izuku tells him as a smile makes it way toward the surface and seemingly settles there permanently in the face of Touya’s scowl. “Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”

“Shut the fuck up. That’s a lie.” Touya glares at him with the full force for ten thousands suns before pointedly diverting his gaze. His cheeks are unusually flushed and somehow Izuku doesn’t think it’s because of the cool air.

An off-kilter Touya is too cute sometimes.

Izuku giggles and extends a hand out to wrap it around Touya’s arm, because he always has to be the first one to do it since that horrid night that had led to a hundred cut on Izuku. He has to be the one to reach out first. “C’mon I’ll treat you to some dessert in the kitchen. The house-elves always leave something extra for me just in case I wanted a snack.”

“That’s because they love you,” Touya grumbles, but allows himself to be dragged along. He would always put up a fuss about it like he couldn’t be bothered, but he doesn’t have in him to ever reject Izuku’s hand on him. Never.

For someone capable of so much violence and hatred toward the world and himself, Touya tries to be ever so careful with Izuku. So gentle that it hurts sometimes. Izuku isn’t breakable in any way, but the way Touya is so devoted to not consciously reach out for him unless Izuku instigate it first and only when he let himself give in to Izuku’s touch, his resistance crumbles away so easily like his resolve was held up by faulty walls; it’s heartbreaking.

Touya may not understand why Izuku was so quick to forgive him for the scars that he has now, but it’s because Touya made it so easy to do it when he’d visit Izuku’s hospital bed every night afterward to watch over his sleep like a silent sentinel. He didn’t say a single word to Izuku during those nights, but his guilt was palpable. It was carved into the lines of his shoulders, into the agony of his eyes, and into his flesh and bones, because after that horrific night when Izuku bled in the Great Hall, Izuku wasn’t the only one who had his own scars.

Touya’s own just aren’t visible to the eyes.

So it’s not that Izuku’s heart is big and capable of so much, it’s because the people who seek his forgiveness want it so badly that to look at their face is to stare into their open wound—yearning, hopeful, and so full of self-loathing.

He had seen it first in Touya. Then in Katsuki.

That’s why he will mostly likely forgive Katsuki after this when he stops being so dumb and stubborn and decide to come to Izuku for another chance, but till then he would like to see some groveling done first because Izuku may be kind and open-hearted like everyone say he is, but he’s no pushover in the end.

Convincing the World I am Who I Say I Am

Convincing the World I Am Who I Say I Am by silver jackdaw

Todoroki Shouto's life had been terrible basically as long as he could remember. He'd spent a long time angry about a lot of things, but then it occurred to him: he could change things for himself, make them better, give himself a new life as long as his father wasn't involved in it. Thus begins Yukimura Shouto's long quest to convince everyone (even his own family) he didn't actually exist, and There Was No Todoroki Shouto. Needed along the way: many different colors of hair dye and four determined friends (none of which could have predicted how far his little scheme would go, which included talking to villains in drug stores in the dead of night and making friends with a weird gamer shut-in with psoriasis.)

"Sensei? Do you think you would be able to tolerate a small request of mine? I'd like for you to use a different name than what's on my records."

(Along the way he accidentally inspires another with ten simple words: "Why would you need a Quirk to be a hero?")

REI TODOROKI STUDY / MASTERPOST .

This is mostly ripped from discord so if it’s choppy that’s why ---

TRIGGER WARNINGS : MISOGYNY, DOMESTIC ABUSE, CHILD ABUSE, CHILDBIRTH, CHILD LOSS, GENDER DYSPHORIA.

Rei never necessarily dreamed of being a mother. She had a dream, once. She painted and has a profound natural talent for art, but her family was conservative and never entertained her getting a job. Girls like her were only good for getting married. The most rebellious thing she ever did was anonymously release a few paintings while she was engaged.

Painting continued to be a coping mechanism when she was in the mental hospital, though they were much darker --- her paintings in there were very gruesome depictions of ... typically feminine things --- pregnancy, childbirth, housewife duties. She just painted them as very painful and bloody because that's how they felt to her and that's how she emotionally processed how she sees her own value as a woman. Obviously this isn’t too relevant in the grander scheme of things but I’m just providing some insight into Rei as a painter.

Now before I start, I obviously don't write Rei as Black but i think about how in Black and poc cultures women are blamed for their abusive and shitty husbands. If he hit them its because THEY made him mad, and if he cheated it's because THEY couldn't keep him/make him happy. And i write rei with those burdens. i say this bc i remember rei being on the phone like "i can't take it anymore i can't be around him i'm scared" right before she hurt shouto and i'm like ... if she did that then she must have called her mother before. and like her mother obviously didn't tell her to leave so i hc her mother was always like "be a good wife and smooth things over, keep ur man happy, if ur household falls apart thats on u"

Rei struggled the most with Touya and fuyumi. She never hurt them or anything but she had weird behaviors around them...And her biggest crime w them was the "weak constitution" she had. With Touya she was still trying to make it work with endeavor so she kept excusing his abuse because she was trying to keep things smooth... like stupid shit like "don't make ur father upset" and "u know he has a temper". not intentional but honestly just how she was raised and she thought she was doing the right thing by avoiding conflict and keeping enji happy. She tried to protect him but honestly she didn’t resent Enji as much as she did later, with Shouto.

With fuyumi....It’s more a personal hc but I told inad that like. Rei never wanted a daughter due to how she was raised. her family was very sexist and oppressive. She cried when fuyumi was born. she did NOT want a daughter and did not want fuyumi to be like her, a woman she perceived as weak. Because my rei KNOWS she’s weak. Her quirk may have been strong but her "constitution" emotionally was frail. But fuyumi is a child and doesn’t understand why her mom gets upset when she tries to help in the kitchen and Rei tells her to stop.

Touya has every right to resent Rei --- unfortunately though, Abuse is usually a cycle… I hced Rei dealt with a lot of mental and emotional abuse from her parents, her mother especially. that's how rei's family was. and in my hc quirk marriage is just a revamped arranged marriage. like quirk marriages in and of themselves are not evil like it's just. a cultural practice basically. but rei's family w endeavor........... her abuse was most prominently her own mother, They were VERY conservative, Very “the woman should serve the man” type people. endeavor was looking for someone with the right quirk so like. It’s reasonable to think that rei’s quirk had potential to be as strong as endeavor’s, just with ice. Yet she NEVER became a pro-hero? I think it’s because her parents never even considered it. Her taking an active duty job would have been disgraceful.

And culturally, most arranged marriages are agreements. i don't think Enji stomped in and kidnapped rei. There was an agreement. He was young, too. Like. Rei probably got married at like 18-19...he was no. 2 by 20. He was so driven to be no. 1. He is 46 now, and fuyumi is 23. like he's been grinding his whole career.

So if touya’s older, they had him basically right when they got married. The kids are all about four years apart so it’s probable that he basically had a kid, waited for the quirk to manifest, and then would have another...and fuyumi is the ONLY one who doesn't have that 4 yr age gap. she's closer to touya's age than the other gaps. SO I hc Touya And fuyumi r closer in age like that Bc Touya was supposed to be the Child who Succeeded. his fire quirk WAS strong. and therefore fuyumi was actually just. a planned child. because at that time their marriage wasn't complete shit it was like. something rei was optimistic abt.

for anyone who’s seen game of thrones, there's one scene where sb accuses cersei of hating the king and she talks almost wistfully about how she was so excited to marry him bc of how strong and famous he was and she was so nervous on her wedding night but then stannis stumbled in drunk and came in 2 minutes and said another woman's name and she quickly became disillusioned by the idea of her whole marriage. I compare Rei’s view on her marriage to that scene.

she agreed to marry endeavor and he was a desirable bachelor @ that point. she was excited to try and get to know him and "be a good wife" to him but. his focus on work was always first. and rei, raised how she was and trying to make things work how she was, did her best to maintain what she thought a good home was for HIM. to keep HIM happy. i don't actually think he started out smacking everyone around. i think physically, touya rei and shouto were the people he abused while natsuo and fuyumi never got that.

he was training touya and fuyumi was planned and that was the only "happy" part of the marriage

it was when touya started “failing” that the things got ugly. I think fuyumi has memories of the family being functional and happy because at the beginning they WERE ... they were functional and did things together and acted like a nuclear family. through a child’s perception, that’s what she wanted to go back to.

Anyways, Rei Met enji. And like., She ofc didn’t love him but she at least kind of liked him as a person. When a man like that comes and asks to marry your daughter it’s not some ogre carrying her off, he was a desirable bachelor & her parents LEAPT at it.

Rei was hopeful @ first. She thought "he’s handsome and strong maybe this will be a good marriage". She romanticized him a little bit. She kept thinking about being “good enough” for him. She kept giving him children, cleaning the house, being subservient because she was taught that those things made a good wife. she tried to be a good wife.

every time he got angry or distant she just blamed herself. what did SHE do to upset him. what did SHE do that didn't make him happy enough.

Endeavor didn’t hit her until shouto in my hc ... I think w shouto he just seriously lost his mind bc 3 kids in and no perceived progress. But up until that point, every time he got angry or distant Rei blamed herself. Every time he didn’t want to look at natsuo or called Touya a failure she blamed herself. And like. That fantasy was falling apart.

A resentment started brewing. She was starting to really resent her husband to the point where Touya being so similar to him made her uncomfortable. i do hc that at the time touya looked the most like him / had a temper (obviously we know him being angry would be him lashing out bc he was abused, i'm not saying his temper is wrong or bad). And fuyumi was so similar to HER I think being around her made her sad. I don’t think rei was weak and a pushover at the beginning....She was trying her best and by the very end she was tired

Now going into when she had her youngest child. All the other children disappointed enji and by default were rei’s “failures”. She didn't give him good enough children to make him happy. That was HER fault. She loved her children of course, but being a victim of abuse from her own family would sometimes get distant from them. Rei has very said, distant eyes. she's always been that way.

Whenever enji yelled at them (I don’t think he hit them @ that point in time) she would make excuses for him.

Touya and her were developing a strained relationship bc she’d ask the wrong questions and say the wrong things... “You shouldn’t have made your father mad” and things like that in response to his abuse because in her head smoothing things over is still the best approach. She wasn’t trying to hurt him, she just...wasn’t thinking rationally. She thought she was, but she was speaking from a place of abuse herself. She was taught to keep her head down.

When Touya would get angry he’d look so much like enji she’d visibly flinch away from his yelling. It strained their relationship. Like you know how you can’t take it out on the person who makes you angry so you take it out on someone else? like that. again, 100% wrong on rei's part. she made mistakes and tried too hard to please enji. She lowkey put her fear of enji into Touya as he got older. Tried not to show it but it was so clear he made her uncomfortable. And Fuyumi. She kept thinking fuyumi was gonna end up just like her and hated that.

there's distance with both of them because of those feelings. Then she has shouto and like. He’s her whole world. He’s nothing like her or enji and he’s sweet and he thinks the world of rei...Rei ADORED shouto. Natsuo was also very close with rei because endeavor straight up ignored him.

And the shit starts where he wants to train shouto and she’s trying to stop him. She wants to put her foot down. She doesn’t want him to take her baby and make him like himself. She couldn’t protect Touya, but she won’t let the same thing happen to shouto. SHe starts being defiant. The fighting starts, the hitting starts.

And you remember how right before she burns him she was on the phone with her family? Saying “I can’t take this anymore” over and over...She wanted to leave. That HAS to mean she has called them before which means this entire time every time she had a problem she probably called her mother or something for advice. And like. I’m sure. SURE Her mother was always on the other end telling her to smooth things over. To fix it. To make it right. To be a good wife. Insinuating she was a bad one for having problems in her house.

Which is why rei never left, She didn’t think to. It never crossed her mind outside of being some silly intrusive thought she’d never entertain... She had mental health issues for years, Anxiety and depression that went unchecked and developed into a schizoaffective disorder. She didn’t hear voices but she would just develop this severe irrational paranoia. and it all came to a head when she burned shouto.

when she got to the mental hospital I don’t think she took it well at all, I think she got there and kept insisting she was fine, was in denial that she was sick. I think she kept screaming and begging enji not to take her kids from her. I think she tried refusing medications, Pocketing pills, Hiding shit. Thinking she didn’t need help, she’s not crazy! Trying to leave and walk out. Her first year there was hard because they had to restrain her, give her injections. The whole ordeal.

She was very resistant to care at first. I also hc like. She’s clearly fine and having worked in a mental hospital before a lot of people ARE fine while they’re there but they’re so scared of integrating back into society they just don’t want to leave. She's not so mentally unwell she needs to be inpatient for 10 years that's just. not realistic. She could have been discharged earlier, but she didn’t wanna go back home. She was afraid to live in the real world again. So she stayed of her own choice there.

REI DOESN’T WANT TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE ENJI BUILT. In fact, when she gets out, she sees natsuo and fuyumi argue about who is going to live with her (to take care of her) and rei just quietly says she’s decided not to live with either of them. She loves her kids, she wants to have a place in their lives again somehow, but she’s also ashamed of how Fuyumi, Natsuo, and Shouto all think they have to “save” her. She’s lost all the years to raise them, but if there’s one more thing she can do for them as a mother, it’s stand up on her own two feet and not burden them any more than she already has. She tells them that she’s sorry for being weak, but that she wants things to be different. And because of that, she says she’s gonna live in a group home for women until she can get a job and get her own place. She has help from the hospital and she’s going to use those resources.

The kids try to dispute it, but Rei won’t budge. She knows she failed them as a mother and knows she can’t change her weakness in her past, but she refuses to do that to them any longer. She isn’t a fool --- she knows it will make an already hard transition that much harder, but all she’s ever been is someone’s daughter. someone’s sister. someone’s wife. someone’s mother.

For the first time in her life, she wants to be Rei.

An Introduction to Tododeku Pt.2

a collection of tododeku recommendations and essential reading!

part one | part three

Him & I by Aurigardyn (67k, T+)

The man lifts his eyes and smiles and wow. Inwardly, Izuku groans. This guy is so out of his league, it’s unfair. Izuku is usually barely coherent near gorgeous boys, let alone gorgeous and rich boys like this guy.

Or : that unnecessary cheesy billionaire romance nobody asks for

Timely Problems by Imwastingmylifeinhere (47k, GA)

There is a point where something happens that's just too weird. For Izuku Midoriya, that point is when a portal opens in the middle of the common room and two children fall out that introduce themselves as his children with Todoroki. Has he mentioned that he has a ridiculously bad crush on Todoroki? Yeah, this is going to be fun.

yours, mine, ours by cityboys (45k, GA)

In which Momo winds up with a catering job and Shouto tries to delay the inevitable.

Cut From The Same Cloth by ShanaStoryteller (31k, T+)

When Endeavor finishes delivering his ultimatum, All-Might uses one of his precious minutes in his hero form to punch Endeavor in the face. The force of it sends the number two hero staggering back and into an alley wall, leaving an Endeavor-sized imprint in the bricks.

“THAT IS NOT HERO-LIKE BEHAVIOR!” All-Might roars.

Endeavor finds out some secrets, and the price of his silence is the marriage of Izuku Midoriya, the anonymous hero Deku, to his youngest son.

history has its eyes on you by aloneintherain (16k, T+)

Midoriya looked over the occupants of the room with butter soft eyes. “We should do this again. Seeing everyone in one place … it’s like we’re back in school again.”

Todoroki said, “It feels like a family reunion.”

(Social media fic, counting down the five months to Class 1-A's ten year reunion.)

Through the Looking Glass by livinglittlelie (16k, T+)

In a world where superpowers were a common thing, there was something almost miraculous called soulmates. Those who had the luck to have a soulmate would agree that it was the best thing that had happened to them.

After discovering he would never have a quirk, Midoriya Izuku thought his life was over. However, things started to change when, instead of his reflection, what he saw in the mirror was a boy he didn't know.

two sided feeling by sunflowerfaun (14k, T+)

When Todoroki slips up and does something he would never do, it becomes a common practice between him and Midoriya. He didn't know it would end up like this.

i won’t just buy you a rose by aknightley (13k, GA)

Shouto decides to visit his mother for the first time in years, and decides to stop at a flower shop along the way.

He freezes in place, and before he can move again someone is bustling through the door behind the counter, all messy hair and wide green eyes. It’s a teenager, a little shorter than Shouto but probably the same age. He’s got a wide smile and there’s a smudge of dirt on his cheek, which instantly draws Shouto’s attention. His fingers itch to rub it off.

Cider Sweet by crispykrimi (13k, T+)

“Come over this weekend!”

Shouto takes a half step back, catches himself and adjusts his stance to be more grounded. His face is closing off rapidly- he has to do this quickly .

“Izuku-”

“Not- Not for the whole break! I know you’ve already made up your mind and I told you, I won’t stop you. But… just for one day?” Izuku takes a rushed breath, gaining speed as he pleads, “Spend Sunday with me. You can stay the night! My mom will feed you pumpkin bread until you puke and you can have at least one good memory from the break. Please?”

Fever Dreams by crispykrimi (12k, T+)

“It’s a cold, alright. It’s been going around. It’s usually a simple fix, but his quirk complicates things…”

“I think it might be my fault.” Izuku holds his elbow with one hand. “He’s been having, uhm,” he feels his cheeks heat. “Temperature fluctuations? A lot of them.”

Recovery Girl hums at him knowingly. “That would do it, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately his immune system is shot, and he just doesn’t have enough stamina for me to heal him. From his condition, I have to say he’ll most likely get worse before he gets better.” He had guessed as much… Izuku grits his teeth at the helpless feeling gnawing on him.

“However,” she says kindly. “He will be fine with a bit of rest. You’ll take care of him?” Izuku nods emphatically.

“Then we have little to worry about. He’s in good hands,” she takes his right hand in hers and pats it gently.

the price you pay for dreams by Captain (11k, T+)

Izuku is gone.

He just—disappears one morning. There's not even a fight going on at the time: he's just there one moment and the next moment he's not, as if spirited away by some mysterious sprite or stroke of magic, somewhere between the dorms and the main campus.

A Life Full of Dreams by ArgetCross (10k, T+)

Tomorrow, Midoriya would graduate UA and become a pro hero.

The sheer incredulity of having survived these last three years had hit him this morning. He had woken up at five am, ready to run to the gym to get to the good mats before class, until he realized there was no class. Midoriya had dropped back into bed and stared at the ceiling.

Or on beginnings and endings.

Hitsuzen by Methoxyethane (10k, T+)

He would have ended up falling for Izuku at some point no matter what, he was certain. No matter what path life took him down he'd have still ended up here, not because of anything as elaborate as destiny or fate but instead due to the simple fact of inevitability. Because Izuku was Izuku and Shouto liked just about everything about him, couldn't help but admire him and would always want to be around him, just for who he was.

fake it till you make it by writedeku (7k, M)

“Your d-d-d-date?” Izuku swears he’s overheating. He can almost feel the steam coming out of his ears. He’s lucky they’re the only ones in the room, because his face is so red, it could rival Kirishima’s hair.

“Yes. I would like it if you could pretend to be my boyfriend for the duration of the wedding,” Todoroki deadpans. “It would piss off my father.”

a huge mistake that wasn’t actually that huge by itenixol (6k, G)

shouto, being the biggest mess on planet earth, decides its a lovely idea to speak his feelings out loud to (what he thinks is) a sleeping izuku.

A Little Love Never Hurts (Until It’s No Longer a Little) by furihatachlookie (4.5k, T+)

It all started at the Sports Festival, and it all goes downhill from there. For Todoroki, at least.

not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all by theroyalsavage (3k, T+)

The proposition is simple: fake-date the single scariest human being on the planet so Todoroki Shouto can go out with his brother. The thing is, with Bakugou, Kirishima thinks he may have signed up for more than he’d bargained for. (A 10 Things I Hate About You AU.)

10!! THINGS!! I HATE!! ABOUT!! YOU!! AU!!

"Sensei? Do you think you would be able to tolerate a small request of mine? I'd like for you to use a different name than what's on my records."

(Along the way he accidentally inspires another with ten simple words: "Why would you need a Quirk to be a hero?")

BNHA ch.252: "The Unforgivable One"

YALL I CANT

THIS CHAPTER SLAPS AND IM NOT OK

NATSUO BBY IM SO SORRYYYYYYYY

Endings quirk was that he could control the white lines of roads, which Vocal Pineapple on Youtube actually theorised as well!! Ngl i find it such a weird, wacky and interesting quirk.

Another thing, is that when Endeavor was right next to Natsuo, he seemed to feel the heat a lot. Plus, Natsuo’s quirk is till unconfirmed. I’m not saying IceQuirk!Natsuo, but......

For last chapter, I didn’t post anything about it much, but I did say we might get Touya’s backstory this chapter. Guess what we got? A MOTHERFRICKING BACKSTORY. I know it’s only really mentioned in passing, but we now know what happened to Touya. Before I theorised that it might have had something to fire, since why would Natsuo blame Endeavor if it had nothing to do with fire?? But this..... wow. It still might not be entirely correct, since the official VIZ translation hasn’t came out yet but,,, woah. It was Endeavors fault. He killed him. I’m going to say that I’m some way, it must’ve been an accident, because why else would Fuyumi say Nat “believes” it was Endeavor and not "knows" it was him, why else would he not be arrested? Maybe Touya DID go through the same training as Shouto, and it was a training accident. That still doesn’t deter from the fact that, Endeavor KILLED HIS OWN SON. WHAT THE FU- Something tells me that Natsuo witnessed it happen as well, since he says he can’t help but remember it every time he sees Endeavors face, which I’m assuming he’s talking about the event that killed Touya. I honestly can’t even at this point

I can honestly say I’m Not Happy™ with Bakugou. Just when we all thought that he was finally bucking up his ideas, he fucks it up again. lately ive been really excited to find out Bakugou's hero name, since its been a good couple arcs since the sports festival/Hosu arcs, but im really not happy with the way he's acting. At this point, it seems like Endeavor is getting a better redemption arc than him. And before you Baku-Stans attack me, saying "oh but he is getting a redemption" he's really not doing it in the right way. He's redeeming in the way of i-want-to-be-a-better-hero, not im-not-going-to-be-such-a-shitty-person. He's not being any nicer to people, and its really annoying me. the hothead trope gets boring real fast, and i really have mixed feeling to his character. Why does he always top the popularity polls?? When he does reveal his alias, i hope its by reconciling with Izuku, and being a nicer person. Also, if its not Ground Zero, i will throw a riot.

and - this is the part that hits me the most - ENDEAVOR IS BUILDING A NEW HOME FOR HIS FAMILY. YALL WTF. like at first i was like "hey wait this is their home, shouldn't YOU be the one moving" but then i thought it again. REI IS COMING BACK. By building a new house, the family is going to be able to make new memories in a new environment, and Rei wont relapse or anything. Kudos to you Endeavor. I didn't actually think he would act on his dream, but its perfect with the letter we got from Rei last chapter saying that she'll be discharged soon. big happy

Bonuses:

Mido asking all of the civillians in the cars if they were alright makes my heart go uwuwuwuwuwu

The note at the end about getting a colour spread in celebration of the movie,,,, uh,,,, honestly forgot that the movie was coming out THIS year, and i have some feelings about that, since it takes place right now in the manga and Hawks, my child, is in it. WHY ARE WE GETTING HIM SO EARLY?? LIKE IM SO HAPPY BUT ALSO THIS REALLY RUINS IT FOR ANIME ONLYS. i'll probably post something about this more in depth soon if i can, so be on the look-out!

Todoroki deadass apprehending the villain on his own. go you Shouto!!

Y'all so many feels from this chapter... do i smell a Dabi reveal soon??

But strangely, Endeavor is becoming one of my more favourite characters, not because of what he's done - he can never undo that - but his redemption arc truly intrigues me and im excited to see where this goes, and if it leavea to the touya theory being correct.

#bnha #my hero academia #boku no hero acadamia #bnha theory #dabi is a todoroki theory #dabi is touya todoroki #shouto todoroki #natsuo todoroki #todoroki enji #mha hawks #bnha: two heroes #bnha chapter 252 #bnha chapter 252 spoilers #todoroki touya #touya todoroki's backstory #y'all i cant #ENJI KILLED HIS OWN MF SON #WHAT THR FU-
