Summary
Children grow up fearing the beast below the mattress or under the stairs, crouching in cramped closets and hiding in the dark alleys. They grow up believing their parents when they are told they can’t hurt you.
Because monsters aren't real, right?
Izuku is gifted with an odd quirk of sharp claws and glowing eyes- a target for cruel words and harsh phrases. Freak. Useless.
For years, he longed for his power to one day evolve and strengthen- no longer wanting to be considered the useless freak no matter where he stood. Wanting to be more than something people sneered or raised a brow at.
Only when his quirk suddenly bursts into something of pure horror, something more than the word freak, Izuku wishes he swallowed those words.
Four year old Izuku feared the beasts bellow his mattress. He feared the monsters his mother tried to say didn’t exist.
But as Izuku aged he soon found himself no longer afraid of what didn’t exist. But he feared what stared right back at him in the bathroom mirror.- Language:

Summary
There are silver streaks in Kurosaki’s hair. His expression isn’t set in the permanent frown Grimmjow’s used to—he’s not wearing much of an expression at all, face blank in a studied manner—but there are still faint lines on his forehead and softer, sweeter crinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth. He’s broader in the shoulders and chest, and the lines of his body have softened.
This isn’t the boy he left behind.
“You’re old,” Grimmjow hears himself say.
Kurosaki’s careful non-expression breaks open into a crooked smile. His eyes glitter; they, at least, are that familiar warm brown, which soothes Grimmjow in a way he’s not keen on acknowledging.
“Older,” Kurosaki says. “And immortal ghost twunks don’t get to talk about my age.”

Summary
Ichigo sleeps, obviously, but—first with the nightmares of his mom dying, and needing to take care of the girls in the middle of the night when they were little, and then Isshin’s increasingly aggressive “training” over the years—he doesn’t sleep deeply. Not in his own house, and certainly not anywhere outside of it either. He’s learned to get shut eye when and where he can, but he’s never so deep under that he can’t snap to awareness in an instant if he needs to.
It often leaves him feeling restless, a little strung out and tense, but it’s fine. He’s gotten used to it. He’s long-since learned how to walk the knife’s edge of exhaustion.
But.
But not at the Urahara Shoten, apparently.

OR:There's only one place in the three worlds where Ichigo can actually get some rest. What starts as a one-off accidental nap turns into a habit.
