Two Years Too Soon

Some quirks are gifts. Yours is a curse.

Working as a pro hero at Dynamight's agency, you've spent years trying to prove you're more than your past. More than the whispers that follow you. More than the quirk that everyone fears.

Katsuki Bakugo gave you a second chance when no one else would. He's the only one who knows the full truth of what happened to you-and what you were forced to do.

But when a rescue mission pairs you with Izuku Midoriya, the quirkless teacher from U.A. who refuses to stop being a hero, something shifts. He looks at you differently. Like you're not the monster you've convinced yourself you are.

Trapped together in the aftermath of danger, with your carefully built walls starting to crack, you're faced with a terrifying question:

What happens when someone sees past the weapon you were forced to become?

A Deku x Reader story about second chances, slow-burning connection, and learning that the scariest thing isn't your past-it's letting someone in despite it.
