Summary
When he was 14, Touya Todoroki burned to death at Sekoto Peak. Three years later, he woke up in a strange facility with one goal in mind - to get home. But when he finally escapes and makes it back to the Todoroki Estate, he walks into a nightmare he’s all too familiar with. One look at the terror written all over his baby brother’s face and he knows - he has to save him. Even if it kills him.

Summary
On the one hand, he’s disgusted by how gentle you are; but on the other, Dabi feels a wretched gratitude. A desperate yearning for you to keep going. How long has it been since anyone has shown him any ounce of tenderness? Any iota of softness? You are the only one in his recent memory that has even bothered. And you do it not out of pity or sorrow. But so frustratingly out of love. Dabi hardly feels worthy.
Dabi sees himself as a failure, but you are always there to remind him how loved and cherished he truly is.

Summary
Todoroki Touya is the son of Japan's number two hero. Ever since he got his quirk, his father began training him ruthlessly. He wasn't given a choice to be the kind of hero he wants to be as his father tries to mould him into a better, stronger version of himself in his goal to surpass All Might. Touya began to lose himself in hatred and madness. He wanted to be saved but who would believe Japan's number two is as bad as the villains they all see?
Over the years, Touya began to doubt how society sees heroes. No one saw the dark side of heroes but him. He could see through their pretences and he began to despise how society put these fake heroes on a pedestal as if they're all perfect. So he made it his mission. He will change society, expose the ugly truth. The world will burn and he'll walk over their ashes.
This is my take on how Todoroki Touya became Dabi.

Summary
'Maybe he would have been faster to notice when the curious chatters had turned to hushed and frightened whispers, and then turned to nothing at all. In their absence, and the silence across the dinner table, he missed the stories the same way he had missed the cracking of an all consuming fire in the dead of night, the smoke curling up into the endless lonely night, the sound of a pair of boots set down by the front door as the clock struck two. Just one pair this time. Now he was older, he was sure that if he could just grasp at the threads of those memories and weave them back together, he could understand that the stories had stopped when the flames had died out, when the forest fell silent and the rains began to pour. It would only take the vivid amber tones of dying fire peeking through the lingering smoke for them all to realise the gravity of the situation, for a new kind of fear to settle in the silences in that house. That day, in the early morning hours, it would dawn on the bereaved that there was no sunrise outside, but the end times for a loved one, and a father who would rather offer sacrifice than harbour a failure.'

Summary
Dabi recounts his time with the Shie Hissaikai to Hawks- telling of a different life long before the league. Recruited off the streets as a pretty little thing, he’d thrived under their boss’s eye, watching a young Eri and catching Kai’s every fall. Time doesn’t erase all- certainly not the family he’s made.
Dabi becomes a sugar baby, falls in love, and finds his place amongst the bullets of the shie hissaikai, only to lose it all. Oh if the league knew.

“He’s--”
“Dead?” Dabi finishes, closing his hand into a fist. His turquoise eyes pierce through Shouto’s soul. A single black eyebrow rises on his forehead, and Shouto can feel himself start to sweat. “That’s what the Commission wanted you to think.”
Out for a walk to clear his head, Todoroki Shouto crosses paths with the villain, Dabi. Shouto knows that manipulation is Dabi's strong suit, but when the villain tells him that he's Shouto's older brother, the fledgling hero can't get himself to believe that Dabi is lying. So when Dabi tosses the keys to the Hero Public Safety Commission's record vault on the concrete in front of him, Shouto decides to take it upon himself to investigate.

Summary
“What have you done...?” Fuyumi croaked, drawing not only her father's eye, but Touya's, and it took what little strength she had to not join his cries. He must've tried to turn and face their father while being burned, because the blackened marks extended up the right side of his neck, curling around his collarbones, his jaw, and even under his swelled-shut eye, which was such a bloody mess that she feared that he'd lost it.
