   Summary

   WARNING: This work has been discontinued and will no longer be updated or completed. Read at your own discretion.

    

    

   Working as pro heroes, Bakugou and Midoriya live a happy life together -- until a case involving missing quirkless kids causes Midoriya to disappear. Bakugou is willing to do the impossible to get him back, and Midoriya is ready to do whatever it takes to make things right.

   Alternatively: Bakugou is an Orpheus, ready to go to hell and back for his beloved.

   Set 7 years after the events of The Way You Used To Do.
