Summary
‘I need you to cage the bird. Destroy what’s left of his resolve. And when he’s properly broken, when he’ll sing whichever way you please just to end it all, he’ll be immortalised as the hero who instigated the collapse of Hero Society as we know it.’
After the PLW, the League was captured and its members await prosecution. Still, many heroes sustained severe injuries, including Hawks after his fight with Dabi.
Keigo is faced with a painful recovery and severe loss of image. He's punished for his failures at the raid and immediately forced back into training to restore his status and get back into the Commission's good graces. However, he can't seem to shake the fight. He can't forget that face. Those flames. The fear.
Dabi desires vengeance for Hawks' betrayal. After escaping imprisonment, he devises a plan with Shigaraki to take down the HPSC by using Hawks. But when he discovers more about the hero's past, he realises that he and Hawks aren't so different after all. And once he does, can he still use him the way he'd planned?
Or: slow burn, angst, pain, trauma, and a gradual build of trust and understanding (eventual DabiHawks~)

Summary
Dabi wasn’t opposed to switching.
They had never really discussed it. Their dynamic worked, and as time passed, the desire to be in a setting where he wasn’t in control, where he wasn’t the one taking care of Keigo, grew smaller.
Until a week ago, anyway.
Somehow, they’d ventured into the topic of past partners, and he’d made an offhanded comment about never having been on the receiving end. And fuck, if the way Birdie’s eyes had lit up at the prospect wasn’t enough to reawaken a dormant desire, he didn’t know what was.
And, well, Dabi wasn’t opposed to it, was all he was saying.Keigo & Dabi try something new, learn a few things about themselves, perhaps cry a little, a few droplets of angst sprinkled in, the usual. Dabi might ask Keigo to make it a more regular thing.
(Short spicy oneshot side project I started in October, which ended up way too long cause Dabi's angst crept in. Happens)
