Shouto/Reader The Weight of Legacy: Rising Beyond a Father's Burning Expectation

Shouto Todoroki & Reader ~

Endeavor is on his deathbed. While he's tried his hardest to win his youngest son's love back, and to get Shouto to forgive his wrongdoings before he passes, it's not going to happen.
Shouto, meanwhile, finds a journalist who writes like they can see a scene exactly how it happened...as if they were there. He wants them to tell his story, from his abusive childhood, to how he turned into the Pro-Hero he is today. He wants to give them the exclusive of a lifetime. One problem? They just got fired.

Or,
After being let go from your dream job, Shouto Todoroki manages to track you down. He's interested in your storytelling, he says. His burning resentment toward his father sparks your own interest and you decide to indulge him.

Right now, this is not a ship fic...but that could change...
