I will add warnings at the start of chapters that have strong depictions of potential triggers. Haruka Todoroki spent her life learning how to keep her heart and mind locked away behind walls of ice. A hero on the rise, she has no choice but to return to U.A. High School as a teacher and reluctant mentor to Class 1-A, a fresh batch of young heroes in training. But beneath her cool exterior, she carries the weight of family trauma, old wounds, and an unforgiving past. A long awaited reunion with Hawks isn't exactly as either of them hoped, the commission requiring her assistance; emotions stir and dig up buried memories, Haruka must confront not only her feelings for him but also the cracks in her own soul. As tensions rise in a world teetering on the brink of chaos, Haruka and Hawks find themselves together again in a less than ideal situation. In a world where even the strongest are vulnerable, can they remain unbreakable or will the weight of their past finally tear them apart? ✨Art is drawn by me GoldenScribe✨ On Deviant Art (GoldenScribe) And Instagram @golden_scribe Also posted on AO3All Rights Reserved
