    Summary

    Kei wishes he could delineate the gap in Yamaguchi's memory. He remembered his old flip phone from first year, but he didn't remember Takeda. Does that mean his memories stop somewhere before they joined the volleyball club, or is it less clear-cut than that? It probably isn't fair to ask Yamaguchi what he can and can't remember. It's like asking him to remember the last footprint he left.

    In other words - Yamaguchi forgets, and Kei starts to realise something he should have known all along.

    Summary

    The cheering crowd circled the makeshift ring at the center of the warehouse floor, fists in the air and gaping mouths screaming obscenities at the two idiots in the ring.
    Izuku was one of those idiots.
    “Kid - get the hell up!” Izuku snapped his attention to Giran
    “You wanna fucking tag in, Giran?”
    “Fuck no, but if you throw this match I’m out a lot of fucking money.”
    Izuku’s opponent was a big fucking bastard, the biggest he’d fought to date, actually.
    _____
    OR: Izuku is an underground fighter, when the heroes raid his fight, slap a villain rank on his name, and force him into a reform program at UA, will he find a way to keep fighting, to prove to the world (and to himself) that his value doesn't lie in how much blood he can spill?

    Summary

    For the next few years, that’s how it went. Izuku and Katsuki would give each other the penny at random times, and the receiver always had to say whatever they were thinking out loud.

    No matter the thought, no matter the time or place, the boys staunchly refused to lie about their thoughts. It was always the truth. Because that’s the way it went.

    Summary

    (But I don't want to leave it that way.)

    -

    "What if we're not late bloomers?" Deku had asked him once when they were very young. “What if we don’t get our quirks? What if our quirks never come for our whole lives?”

    Katsuki hadn't been able to answer, then. All he'd known was that they'd be able to do anything together, even if the hero business tried to spit them out just because they were missing bits and pieces. That was until Deku'd told him the truth, anyway. That he'd been hiding a quirk for ten years and Katsuki had just been stupid and trusting.

    He doesn't get into UA. Deku leaves him behind and lives the dream alone. Katsuki picks up modelling and turns out to be surprisingly good at it, and after a while he thinks maybe he can make peace with never becoming a hero. This ain't a bad life, after all. There are stalkers and endless reporters but maybe he can make this work.

    For all of six years, anyway. Then he figures out his new neighbour has green eyes and cute freckles. And then, Katsuki thinks, maybe god hates him.
