    Summary

    Izuku sees children in pain all the time now. Sometimes they try to make themselves bigger, shout their voices out loud from their tiny lungs, the way Kacchan used to. Sometimes they lash out before anyone else can lash out first, like Hitoshi, or try to hold themselves still and solid and apart from it all, like Shouto. Sometimes they tuck their shaking hands into their pockets, wave away hands offered in help, and say they’re fine.

    Izuku smiles at them and sometimes they smile back.

    Reflections on saving your childhood self.

    Summary

    “Are you Shouta?” the shadow-man asks, and his tone is polite but there’s something verging on almost desperate behind it.

    Shouta considers. He’s unarmed, facing an unknown person who knows his home address and his first name, he hasn’t slept in thirty-six hours, and he’s wearing kitten-patterned pajama pants. Despite all of that, he’s still confident in his ability to handle himself in a fight, but nothing about this situation is making sense, and it’s sending him slightly off-kilter.

    Starting with how the shadow man knows his name.

    “Maybe,” he says, after his silence has dragged on a beat too long. “Who’s asking.”

     

    (Aizawa Shouta is two years out of UA, and three years grieving the death of one of his best friends, when a stranger knocks on his door in the middle of the night.)
