    Summary

    Saps presses forward and slashes again. He hears the whole crowd scream, the sound muffled as if from underwater. The floor is wet and iron-rich and his whole head is pounding. He’s waited for this moment for longer than anyone here knows.

    He raises his axe into the air and Flux reaches a bare hand up and shouts, “Wait!”

     

    or, Flux surrenders in the colosseum. The rest of the world tries to figure out what to do with him.

    Summary

    It’s ironic, he thinks, how bright his father burns. How his presence commands an entire room. How much of his life is occupied by him. Endeavor’s fire burns through them all, in flames, in anger, in the hurt they bring. He’s the reason Touya died, the reason his mother is locked up in a hospital and the reason Natsuo and Fuyumi could never have a proper family.

    Shouto’s imagined his own undoing so many times. He often wonders, as Endeavor’s creation, if he’ll go up in flames, a spectacle for all to see, or if he’ll fizzle out in silence until there’s nothing left but ash. A masterpiece falling from grace. Sometimes he even wonders if one day he’ll burn himself up like Touya had. He imagines Endeavor’s reaction, as he once again conceals a dead Todoroki and continues to live without guilt for the children he destroyed.

    In the end, his unravelling begins with a single drop of blood.

     

    Alternatively: after moving into the dorms and finally learning how to relax, the years of abuse Shouto suffered at the hands of Endeavor finally start to catch up to him and he finds himself not knowing how to handle it.

    Summary

    Susurration
    noun
    A barely heard sound, a whispering in the background.

    OR

    In which Buggy's fleet is attacked, and he has (more than) a bit of a breakdown. Spirals right into insanity, actually. Then Shanks finds him, and for the first time in 20 years get's a good nights rest. He can't understand why Buggy's in the situation he's in, or how he's managed to piss so many people off. He just hopes his crew on the Red Force will eventually learn to love the feral little ex-convict.
