    Summary

    Maybe, when they let him go, he’ll try again. And next time he’ll make 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 it works. They’ll probably force him into therapy, sit him down with professionals who’ll tell him he’s worth saving. They’ll put words like 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 and 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 and 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 in front of him, and he’ll nod and pretend to listen.

    No one understands that Sae isn’t worth the effort of saving.

    After a failed suicide attempt leaves Sae in a coma, he wakes eight weeks later to find the world has changed, while he himself remains shattered. As he struggles to see the point in living, the unwavering love of those around him forces him to question what it means to truly be alive.

    Summary

    There Sae was, unconscious on the bed. His body looks smaller somehow, swallowed by the crisp white sheets and the maze of wires and tubes surrounding him. Bandages are wrapped around the side of his head, stained faintly with dried blood. His skin is pale, almost sickly, and there are bruises scattered along his arms, neck, and face. It felt wrong to look at.

    This couldn’t be his brother. No, it just couldn’t.

    After Sae jumps from his balcony and falls into a coma, Rin is left to pick up the pieces while trying to figure out where his relationship stands with his brother. He also begins to learn what it means to lean on others, and that healing doesn’t have to be done alone.

    Summary

    From the time he could walk, soccer had been his entire life. By the age of one, he was already kicking a ball, and by the time he was old enough to speak, he’d declared his dream to be the best striker in the world. Back then, Sae couldn’t imagine life without it. Soccer wasn’t just a part of him, it was who he is.

    Who he was.

    At just 21 years old, Itoshi Sae abruptly quits soccer at the height of his career. Confronted by the fallout and the anger of the world, Sae comes to realize that he's not as alone as he once believed.

    Summary

    The smell is warm, encompassing him in a lustrous hug that made his insides feel, oddly, like curdled milk; spoiled and hot. And yet, it felt strangely nice as the smell wafted across the room, filling his senses with... what was it again? Kirishima grabbed the bag, the plastic crinkling as he did so. Ah, hazelnut cream. His and Aizawa-Sensei's favorite flavor apart from cinnamon streusel.

    "I'm not good at giving advice," Aizawa muttered, clasping his hands around the scalding mug, unfazed. "I'm sorry."

    Kirishima didn't smile.

    "It's okay, Aizawa-sensei. I don't mind just sitting here."

    "Well, I don't mind sitting with you."

    Or: Aizawa notices a change in one of his strongest students, and in a desperate attempt to get him back to his normal self, accompanies him every night for a cup of coffee and occasional midnight snack in the common room's kitchen. However, he finds that no amount of caffeine can keep his student's demons away, and despite his growing concern, he tends to more pressing matters. Like how recently imprisoned villain, Kendo Rappa, had somehow escaped his maximum-security cell and was on the hunt for a rematch against a certain red-haired hero...
