    Summary

    Kintsugi: The Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It represents the idea that broken doesn't mean unfixable. That even something shattered can be made into a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.

    Izuku knows that life will always be unfair to people like him. He knows that he can't bring his mother back from the dead or make his father love him. He knows he's destined for a life of loneliness and pain. Knows that his goal to be a quirkless hero is nearly impossible.

    Izuku knows that he's broken.

    But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
    Will Izuku let them?

    “Kacchan, where are you going?” Izuku whispers, his eyes wide.

    Izuku is quirked back to age four.

    Summary

    “I don’t really love you, you know that, right?"

    That’s what Midoriya Hisashi had said to his son the weekend of Father’s Day.

    They were sitting on a bench, opposite sides, a much too wide gap between the two. In fact, to any passerby, they probably looked like strangers sharing the same seat by coincidence.

    Izuku supposed they were.

    “I know,” Izuku murmured, his hands were clasped tightly in his lap, thumbs digging into the familiar ridges of scar tissue that lined his skin. Hisashi nodded, taking the response in stride. “I don't hate you, though.”

    “Yeah,” Izuku said quietly, glancing down at his jeans. “I know that too.”

    Or,

    It's Father's Day Weekend, Izuku struggles, but luckily, people are there to help

    Summary


    He turned the corner into the next lane, only to stop momentarily in shock.

    Deku was standing there, trying and failing to grab a bag of chocolate pretzels off the top shelf.

    He looks just like Katsuki remembers—everything he used to hate. But, things are different now. Deku grew up. And he grew up pretty.

    Or: Izuku and Katsuki meet again, at the beginning of their third year. Nothing (read:everything) changes.

    Summary

    Kacchan slides a very familiar letter across the table to him and asks, “What the fuck is this?”

    Izuku really feels like he’s about to explode.

    Because that letter is possibly the culmination of the biggest feelings he’s ever had: love, and all of it for Kacchan.

    Izuku wrote it at thirteen. When he knew that his best friend since diapers would never return the feelings, but Izuku felt like they were so heavy they needed to be shared.

    He wrote the letter, poured his aching, crushing tween heart out onto two and a half pages of college ruled notebook paper, and addressed it in his best calligraphy. To: Kacchan. Izuku remembers his thirteen year old self debating before adding on a little explosion sticker.

    Now, at seventeen, he’s debating the pros and cons of jumping out of the nearest window.

    OR: Izuku writes Katsuki a love letter. 4 years later, Katsuki receives it. Izuku is still very much in love with him, and Katsuki is very much not.
