Part II: Keenan
Aizawa told Silver to leave so she did. Time passes and Aizawa feels like his life is getting back to normal: patrol some of the less-manned streets, save a woman, help a kid, go home, take Eri to the woods with his husband, teach his students. Life is good.
But things go wrong, they always do.
Now, Aizawa has to finally make good on that old promise to hunt Silver down because there are things to be done and- whether he trusts her or not- she may be the best person for the job.
***
Shinsou Hitoshi makes a friend, UA gets hacked, Aizawa sings, Keenan figures out what it means to be a good brother and Eri is far too wise for her age. Absolutely not in that order.
Oh, right, and Silver learns in the worst possible way that 'nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it' (Michel de Montaigne).
I do not own My Hero Academia! :)
⚠️ Warnings: suicide, alcoholism, nightmares, torture, brainwashing (not the Shinsou Hitoshi kind), references to self-harm, domestic violence.
There will be in-chapter warnings. Please, if you don't feel up to reading it or don't want to, please don't. I really would rather you value your mental health over a story. Please, take care of yourself.

Shinsou Hitoshi couldn't remember the last time he'd felt free. He couldn't remember feeling anything but hopeless for a long time. What was there to hope for in that tiny cell he'd been stuck in for what must've been years now? With all the years of torture and abuse he'd endured? No one was coming for him and he could never escape on his own He'd learned that a long time ago. He knew all too well he'd never be free. He'd die in his little prison, he was sure of it. That is, until he met the little girl with white hair and red eyes who gave his life meaning again.
(Or: Shinsou had been kidnapped and tortured for years. He's not sure how to function once he gains his freedom, even with Aizawa, Yamada, and Eri by his side. But he's determined to figure it out with his family by his side, and maybe a few new friends, as well.)
