Hitoshi was running.
He'd been running his whole life.
From his foster parents, from bullies, from the future everyone claimed he was destined to have.
He'd always run away from his problems, it was all he knew how to do.
But he was getting so, so tired of it.
And that was how he wound up on the rooftop of his latest foster parents' apartment building at 1 in the morning, thinking that perhaps it was time to stop running and face the truth.

SSD II: Keenan
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. This is a link to the Discord server for this book and any book I write for anyone interested.

In Another Life
Sleeping didn't come as easy as it used to. Bokuto knew this, and now Akaashi did, too. The hospital AU that no body asked for, but that I took upon myself to write. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ •Cover Art is not mine •Story credits go to LittleLuxray on AO3 •Bokuto x Akaashi I realized that not many people go on AO3, so I took it upon myself to repost a couple on my account here, but give the original authors credit, obviously.Complete
A Click To Happiness
Growing up wasn't always easy having a mental quirk. The good times were easily forgotten and Hitoshi found himself so focused on all the negative feelings that consumed him that he lost sight of his dream. Healthy coping mechanisms weren't a skill he held either, especially with the lack of resources he had. Enter: A pen. OR Hitoshi trains himself to be happy with the one tool he found he always had on him. (bg cover picture from pinterest)Complete
Save me, please
Shinsou has been in the adoption center ever since he can remember. Because of his quirk, he's isolated, and treated like he is nothing. For the longest time, he felt it to be true. Little did he know, all it would take would be a loud blond and a sleep deprived goth to save him. *Rewritten 12/19/2025*Complete
Kitten (BNHA X Child!Reader)✅
"Hitoshi you can't just put your little sister in the sink whenever she bothers you!" Shota yelled trying to calm the child he was carrying. "Why not? it worked" He smirked "Zashi, say something!" "Uh...um..Nose goes?" "You know what? I'm done. Toshi, walk yourself to school tomorrow. Zashi sleep on the couch tonight" _________________________________________ Shouta always thought he had the parenting thing handled, he was a teacher of course so that would be easy. But what happens when he adopts a 3 year old? He's never actually raised a toddler before.Complete
a ghost in a field of flowers - a bnha fanfiction
Akira is a boy with issues. He can't read, or write, or anything like that. All the 15 year old boy knows how to do is fight, talk, eat, sleep, and walk. Of course, he has common sense and can do normal stuff and act like a person. But he never went to school, never got a proper education since his dad died. Akira is also a vigilante, he's been one for a while. He can take down villains that heroes cannot. What happens when problems start to arise and a hero tries to save the boy? Akira knows that he can't trust anyone. So at first he's skeptical and scared. But when he finally trusts this hero, how will everything play out? Will Akira continue to fight by himself? Or will everything be okay? *** The first one I pluck is a bluebell. I carefully wrap the stem around the willow tree branch, tying it gingerly. I do this with a lot more flowers. Some are daises, other's are lilies, lilacs, and buttercups. Once I'm done with the flower crown, I take off my gakuran hat and place the crown on my head. I am a ghost in a field of flowers. -chapter 5, "announcement" *** This story contains -suicide attempt and talks of it -fighting (verbal and maybe some physical) -blood -trust issues -self esteem issues -abuse and mentions of it -panic attacks Please read at your own risk if any of these subjects trigger you.

In Another Life (BokuAka)
Sleeping didn't come as easy as it used to. Bokuto knew this, and now Akaashi did, too. A Haikyuu Hospital AU . . . This is not my fanfic. I do not own anything. I found this amazing fic on AO3 and wanted to share it. Do not proceed if you're so sensitive cause the story is pretty sad and I was crying so much when I read it. Warnings: Hospitals, Angst, Major Character death, Hurt/comfort.Complete
Crawling Back To You
At sixteen, Shouta Aizawa became a father under circumstances no one knew. Not even his best friends. He kept it quiet, kept his head down, and raised Hitoshi with the fierce, aching love only a survivor could give. Now a young adult, a pro hero, and still hiding more than he should, Shouta doesn't expect Hizashi Yamada to walk back into his life. He definitely doesn't expect him to stay. But Hizashi sees him - all the cracks, all the shadows, and the softness he saves only for his son. And slowly, something old and tender starts to bloom again between them. TW! This fic heavily talks about the topic of SA!Complete
