Summary
Midoriya Izuku knows teachers are all the same. He had wanted so, so badly for Sensei to be different. He had always admired Eraserhead as a pro hero, and then Sensei had saved his life. And, yes, he was strict, but so much nicer than any teacher before.
But he was still a teacher. And Izuku was still a quirkless, useless freak who didn’t deserve any of this. Not for free, at least.
He thought he’d never have to go back. But he would, for his dream.
--
Aizawa Shouta knows something's wrong with his problem child. Recklessness, lack of trust, and all the broken bones from a quirk the kid couldn't control. None of it made sense. And what finally tipped Aizawa over the edge was the most recent test results. His number one problem child kept missing questions Aizawa knows he should be getting correct. It was about time the underground hero got some answers from his student.

Or:
Izuku has a bad history with teachers and tests. Aizawa and All Might make some realizations. Cue lots of panic attacks and even more crying.Series

Summary
“Kacchan,” Izuku says. He looks at his All Might drawing in the sand again, wiping at his eyes. “Do your parents play games with their friends?”
“Yeah. What do you think they’re doing while I’m stuck having to play with you?”
Izuku thinks the words should make him upset, but they don’t. He’s too busy digging his nails into his legs, thinking about the room, to be upset about anything Kacchan is saying.
“At the end of the game, do … Do you ever go into a room with them? With your parents’ friends and ... do stuff?”
When he turns around, Kacchan is staring at him with a twisted expression.
“What are you talking about?”

Izuku Midoriya always seems to have tears in his eyes.Or: Izuku has been drowning his entire life. And when he begins to sink, his family (class 1-A, that is) is there to keep him afloat.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya is not the sun. He is not the moon and he is not even the stars.
It's something he struggles accepting.OR
Izuku has been compared to many things when he was little; the most notorious being the sun. After being abandoned because of his quirkless diagnosis, he can only fill the void in his chest with convincing himself he resembles the moon more.
That's until one night at UA, where he realizes that being the sun or the moon is higher praise than he thought, and Deku can't seem to think he's worthy of being compared to them. Someone he didn't think he'd talk to about his problems comes along, softly prods the answers out of him and gives him something else, something not as extreme to associate himself with.
And Izuku... is at peace.

Summary
The child quietly snakes his arm around hers and hugs it again while they walk. She doesn’t want to pull away, but she knows she has to. She’s a healthcare professional, so there needs to be some degree of distance here. If she enables the warm gestures, she’ll be tempted to hug him, and the next thing she knows, she’ll be taking him home in a shoebox and putting both their lives in danger.
Or: Hettie wishes she could do more for the little boy who sneaks off to visit her clinic at night.

Summary
“Have you ever thought about dying?”
It was late, sometime between midnight and sunrise when the world slept quiet and peaceful beneath the gently blinking eyes of the stars. Hunter hummed from where he stood leaning back against the counter, just out of arms reach from Luz’s hunched-over form sitting at the table with her head resting on crossed arms. His eyes stayed firmly on the glass of water in his hand, and she watched him swirl it around, waiting for an answer without impatience or urgency because she knew she would get one, because he always answered her even if the answer was ‘I don’t know’, because this was the millionth conversation like this they’d had since getting stuck in the human realm and they’d both already asked and answered far worse questions than that.
OR Luz and Hunter have a midnight talk about death, grief, and questions that were better left unanswered.

Summary
She doesn’t want to leave him or Luz alone for a minute. The blank, haunted expressions they wear makes her want to wrap them up, tightly, in a blanket and make them both some hot cocoa. (And she’d make some for King, obviously, so he wouldn’t feel left out or jealous.)
If Hunter didn’t look like he was ready to climb out a window, she’d probably do just that.
Hunter runs off. Hunter is followed. Hunter is promptly adopted.

Summary
The raindrops hit the window creating a rhythmic beat, which could be calming in any other circumstance. For now though, Hunter was sitting in the dark of the kitchen, a mug of coffee clasped in his hands that had long since gone cold, as he watched the rain fall down the window, leaving a trail of water behind them.
It’s like the world was dead and Hunter was the only being alive.
Yet when Hunter closed his eyes images of everything that had happened flashed behind his eyelids, of Belos, of his death and everything that had happened over the years.
Hunter spirals as he struggles to cope with his feelings in regards to his uncle and mourning him as he tries to hide everything from his friends, facing his struggles on his own in the fear of being ostracized from the few people who cares about him.Bookmarked by Mesmurize

Summary
Hunter hovers around his emotions as if he doesn’t know what to do with them. If you ask him if he’s doing ok, he jumps to tell you how fine he is with desperate urgency, as if it’s illegal to be caught with his guard down, almost like he’s hiding something. He goes around acting like he is completely unbothered, all while his hands shake at his sides and eyebags continue to darken.
Willow can't watch him suffer.

Summary
Willow had a gift—she was good at fixing people: their problems, their relationships, themselves. People, Willow knew well. Better than she knew herself, even. She sold them flowers out of a hole in the wall, but it was never really about the plants. She was in the business of trading advice for dollar bills, and she’d never faced an issue that couldn’t be solved with a lovely bouquet and a little nudge in the right direction.
Then came Hunter, her T.A. and most frequent regular, a big bramble bush she had no business diving into. But she was going to fix that boy, too, just like she’d fixed everyone else. Flowers fixed everything.
Right?

Summary
“Our bodies remember things, even when we are out of those situations,” Darius explained. “Similar sensations may bring you back to those times.”
“I know that!” Hunter was distantly aware that his voice came out in a snarl. “But this wasn’t the same! It shouldn’t happen!”
–
After watching Darius offer Raine an arm and shoulder massage to help with their aches, Hunter wonders if some of his own pain might ease if his dad does the same for him. Unfortunately, bodies carry memories, and Hunter unexpectedly finds himself pulled back to a time when physical contact was used to harm, not to heal.Series

Hunter was the light of his life, and Darius would do everything in his power to make sure that he would always be safe and loved, right where he belonged at his father's side.

Summary
The mainlanders say the island is strange.
They say that no one lives there anymore, but still, the ferries come and go, day in, day out, empty as ever. They say a Priest murdered a man there once, and the fishing boats are run by ghost crews. There's even a rumor that anyone that steps foot on the island will not return, or if they do, they’ll have been replaced.
Hunter knows these stories to be mere fiction—the truth is more terrifying than that.
The island of Graves Cay is infested with faeries. They hide in plain sight. They look like people, sound like people, act like people—but Uncle says they can never, ever be trusted. A faery made Hunter’s parents disappear. A selkie cursed his family name to ruin.
When a brush with death leads to his tentative affection for a faery girl named Willow, he must reevaluate everything he knows to be true. Nothing on the island is as it seems.
Not even himself.

A minute had passed when Luz made a small, almost silent noise of disgust. “Spare the rod, spoil the child.” she read.
Hunter perked up, “I know that one!” all eyes went to him. Luz’s lips went into a tight frown.
“Oh yeah?” she said carefully, eyes flickering around his face.

Summary
Hunter is a sad, hollow thing.
As much as Hunter feared his uncle’s disappointment, he craved his approval more. The constant pressure to act better, do better, be better was a familiar weight on his shoulders. Once he got to the Human Realm, that weight changed. It was still heavy with terror at what might be the punishment for not completing said tasks, and still all-consuming in his broken brain, but it was confusing too. What was he meant to do? How was he meant to help?
He was being lazy.
Being lazy meant being useless.
Being useless meant being replaced.
Being replaced meant Uncle Belos would–
“Hunter, are you alright? You’re making that face again,”
—
Being in the Human Realm is an adjustment for Hunter. Dealing with that change while struggling to cope with the loss of his only parental figure who was emotionally and physically abusive to him his entire life? So much harder.

Everybody loved birthdays. It was a wonderful day to want anything and actually get it.
But not Hunter. To Hunter, birthdays were the same as any other day. They were useless and weak. The idea of celebrating another year closer to death was beyond him.
So he forgot all about his birthdays.
Until the day before his fifteenth year.Bookmarked by Mesmurize
