That shadow lurking in the corner of Katsuki's room had been there as far back as he could remember. No one ever seemed to notice it but him.

Sequel to "A Ghost of What Was Once Mine." In the devastating wake of Izuku Midoriya's fall from grace, Katsuki Bakugo finds himself haunted by the ghost of a once unbreakable bond. Izuku willingly embraces the darkness, becoming a villain to hunt down and obliterate the League of Villains, sacrificing his innocence to protect the one thing he has left-Katsuki. Six months of fruitless searching has left Katsuki grappling with feelings of abandonment and worthlessness, questioning his own strength and purpose. During a covert mission to a distant part of Japan, fate intervenes when Katsuki inadvertently crosses paths with the very person he has been desperately searching for-Izuku. But the Izuku he finds is a ghost of the man he once knew, hardened and unrecognizable, a standoffish stranger cloaked in mystery. Refusing to let go, Katsuki becomes Izuku's relentless shadow, determined to reignite the spark of their former relationship. Along the way, they discover something potentially catastrophic, a threat that could change everything. Will Katsuki be able to reignite the spark within Izuku that he fears may be lost forever, or will Izuku drive himself to the breaking point in the battle against their worst enemy, fighting until his final breath? ⚠️ Content Warning: Gruesome Violence, Mature Themes, sex, and Intense Plot.

Katsuki knew most thing, he had always been intuitive and not the type of person to be left in the dark, at least not for very long. He liked to be on top, in control, he liked to know. yet when it came to his stupidly lovable friend, Katsuki was pretty fucking dense. so when it all suddenly became red locks of hair, bright smiles, and calloused hands; Katsuki felt as if he was drowning, drowning in his own inability to comprehend just what was happening and Katsuki hated every fucking minute of it. -- a fic in which katsuki is dumb mf & Eijiro is simply living his best life -- cover art credit! @SinfulHime on twitter :) this fic is also on AO3 my handle on there is @aojwad
