Blossoms of the Shadows

IMPORTANT: This fanfiction is the sequel to Blossoms of the Dark, my first fanfiction involving OC Selene and canon Shouto. Please read Blossoms of the Dark first before reading Blossoms of the Shadows.

The events of this story take place after the Final War Arc in BNHA, meaning there is a time skip from the arcs of Blossoms of the Dark. I will not provide warnings on spoilers because I will be writing on the assumption that everyone reading this story is caught up with the manga/anime.
Two troubled souls who led troubled lives found solace within each other and mistook that for paradise.

Hanada Selene.

Todoroki Shouto.

Two damned souls living damned lives.

After the Paranormal Liberation War, the landscape of the world - and their relationship - changed irreparably. Selene believed that Shouto had died as a result of her own failures, and Shouto did not know whether Selene was alive or dead. He could neither decide which fate was better. And yet, they were forced into their new roles, forced to live apart from each other.

Shouto delved into a mission to bring justice for Selene, uncovering truths about her that seemed unfathomable. Selene, however, had long since accepted her fate, unaware of what was happening past the shores of her new hell. Thanks to someone brought up in the same hell as her, she found a new purpose in life, if only to deter her guilt and self-hatred for a while.

Both wanted to live, and both wanted to die.

When their paths crossed once more, one wanted to live, and one wanted to die.
