Hello! So this story is going to include a lot of heavy topics including kidnapping, betrayal, mental manipulation, psychological manipulation, Stockholm Syndrome, and major character death. That is why there is a mature rating on it, but I'd like reiterate that there will be no sex scenes in this. The relationship between Bakugou and Midoriya is extremely toxic and not meant to be romanticized nor sexualized.
Another thing is that this is going to be cross-posted on AO3 under the same username and the entire thing is going to be in third person. That being said here is some character info!

Midoriya Izuku - 24, student at Masutafu Institute of Psychology (MIP), is about to graduate, and is an extreme fan of Dr. Bakugou's books and articles. Orphaned at the age of 10 due to unforeseen circumstances (will be explained later on in the book).
