Y/N's quiet admiration for Akira shatters when she sees him share a moment with someone else, leaving her heartbroken. Seeking comfort, she finds solace in Akechi's steady presence. As their bond grows, she's faced with a choice: cling to a fading hope or embrace a new connection she never expected. (Crossposted on AO3.)

In a world where heroes are born from the ashes of tragedy and triumph, Y/N stands as a prodigy with a quirk unlike any other-Total Eclipse. A combination of both light and darkness, her abilities have been honed since childhood, after a villainous attack left her parents lost to the criminal world. Forced to live with her grandparents in Shizuoka, Y/N learned to control her powers in isolation, but the quiet life can't shield her from the inevitable. When she's accepted into the prestigious UA High School, with its less than 1% acceptance rate, she's thrust into a world of intense competition and rising expectations. There, she crosses paths with the brash, explosive Katsuki Bakugo, whose fiery nature contrasts sharply with her calm, controlled demeanor. As their worlds collide, sparks fly-not only in combat but in a slow-burning attraction that neither of them is ready for. Y/N must navigate the shadow of her past, the weight of her talent, and her complex emotions while learning to trust those who would become her allies-and her enemies. But as Y/N and Bakugo face trials at UA, they will discover that their connection is not just a clash of quirks, but a delicate balance of fire and shadow. With every move they make, the lines between rivalry and something deeper begin to blur, pulling them both toward a fate neither can escape.
