    Summary

    People are like paper. They are blank at birth but over time they fold themselves to fit others' expectations.

    Iida is like lined paper, neat and perfect, but with perfection comes loneliness. Deku is crumpled-up, desperately trying to smooth out his creases. Kirishima's paper is thick like his skin, but still tears, and Bakugou believes all his sharp edges can do is cut.

    Going to UA was supposed to fold them into the perfect heroes. Together, maybe they can unravel themselves to discover who they really are.

    Summary

    Sometimes the fall is so gentle, it's imperceptible when it happens. Sometimes you don't notice right away that you've been completed this whole time.

    Shoto and Izuku are pretty cozy with each other, and that's the way it should be.

    Summary

    traditions and codes were not unfamiliar to the quirkless. especially when they finally had other physical options, rather than the clunky red high-tops.

    it was just strange to see izuku's own homeroom teacher performing them.

    or: izuku notices that aizawa performs the same little rituals that he does, and after so long, comes to a realization.

    Summary

    The summer had been hot- beyond anything anyone had seen.

    Popsicles melted faster than usual, roads nearly popped tires, and training had become more of a bitch than usual to the heroics students. But it was productive. Distracting.

    Izuku never minded because at least with everything that had kept him busy, he was away from his anxiety and reminders of isolation and bad habits. But things are always complex, and well, consistent. Sick of the blaring heat, a villain with weather powers releases what Japan may consider one of the worst blizzards in history, all while in the month of June.

    When all of those distractions are suddenly stripped, leaving Izuku in isolation with his class in the dorms for a “well deserved” break, those broken bad habits soon mold back into his hands. But compared to his early years, the people around him actually begin to pay attention.

    Including a rather persistent blonde.
