    Summary

    After, what the media has taken to calling, the Paranormal Liberation War Dabi is forced to hide away until they are ready to take the fight to the heroes. Which is mind-numbingly boring and beyond frustrating. Dabi had been whittling the time away doing absolutely nothing, slowly losing whatever was still left of his fragile sanity. That is, until Hawks made a TV appearance alongside his father and Best Jeanist.

    The room is big enough to fit in all the reporters and their cameras in the country.

    How fortunate that Dabi has one single red feather left.

    Summary

    "Oh?" Dabi taunts in that flashfire voice of his; and Hawks is reminded, yet again, how easily he burns. "Tell me, what poor little bastard's gonna be riding your ugly-ass coattails for the next few months?"

    Hawks frowns, realizing he's just set up a question he actually has to answer. Dabi will find out anyway, won't he? If there's one thing Hawks has learned, it's that Dabi has his ways. Hawks can never hide anything from him, no matter how hard he tries, a fact that will someday spell his undoing –– but there's no way around it now.

    Willing his fight-or-flight instinct into silence, Hawks reminds his sharpened feathers he's not here for either. It'll be fine. The worst part of removing a bandaid is the dread before you rip it off. Right?

    So Hawks braces himself, and answers:

    "Todoroki Shouto."

    ---

    Hawks' doomed flight towards the sun is thrown off-course when he receives a surprise request from Endeavor's son, asking to be his work-study student. And soon, Dabi's worst nightmare takes a new form when Shouto joins Hawks' obvious-as-hell spy mission, putting them in forced proximity -- only for him to discover that his father's perfect masterpiece is nothing like he thought he was.

    Summary

    In prison after the war, Hawks is an aimless shadow of his old self.

    Dabi showing up as a fellow inmate doesn’t exactly…fix that, but it sure does do something.

    Summary

    Several quiet beats pass between them. Far away, the ruckus of the rest of the League echoes into the night. Everyone always goes buck wild after these meetings, all riled up.

    Dabi holds his hand out. In the shadows it’s hard to see his face, even with Hawks’ eyesight.

    “Light?” He offers again, flicking his fingers together. A tiny blue flame pops into existence in his palm and dances against the dark. It’s…sort of beautiful. Like a miniature star.

    “…Yeah.” Hawks nods minutely and bridges the gap, stepping closer. He dips the cigarette into the small fire and lifts his hand to shield it from the wind.

    Dabi shakes his head. “It won’t go out on its own. Don’t insult me, Birdie.”

    Hm. Hawks isn’t sure if it’s the funny nickname or the first breath of nicotine, but he gets a head rush.

    “Thanks.” He says, blowing out a cloud of smoke. Warmer already.

    ***

    Or, where Hawks and Dabi start out as nothing, and turn into something, over time. It's complicated.
