Summary
After escaping years of violence & cruelty, Hitoshi finally now has a chance at normalcy now that he lives with the one person he trusts to keep him safe; Aizawa. But nobody said recovering from years of trauma was going to be an easy feat.
Recovering from physical injuries is a long process in itself, adding a slowly crumbling mental state into the mix & Hitoshi is struggling a hell of a lot more than he'd like to admit & those closest to him are beginning to notice. Meanwhile, a string of murders settles an unease into the air, leaving Hitoshi right in the centre of the storm.
(Can be read as a standalone, but understanding Hitoshi's trauma will be easier having read part one!)

Summary
He could never forgive himself.
It was his fault.
He’d planted the idea like a seed he’d never known would grow.
(Or: What if Izuku jumped?)
(OR: The one where Izuku jumps and lives and Katsuki visits him every day and Class 1-A not-so-secretly finds it adorable that their designated angry pomeranian brings flowers to his comatose childhood friend.)🌻🌼🌺🌼🌻

Summary
Izuku slowly drifts towards the back edge of the building, as if drawn by some invisible force. He gazes down into the abandoned alley below, full of trash cans and rats most likely. Bakugou's words replay in his head, over and over again.
Take a swan dive off the roof.
For the first time in his life, Izuku doesn't overthink his decision.
Instead, he pivots on his heel, inching them closer to the edge. With outstretched arms, Izuku tilts his body backward.
He falls.
TLDR - Izuku decided to take Bakugou’s advice and attempts to kill himself, but the next day he wakes up unharmed and very confused.
