Summary
Kintsugi: The Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It represents the idea that broken doesn't mean unfixable. That even something shattered can be made into a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.
Izuku knows that life will always be unfair to people like him. He knows that he can't bring his mother back from the dead or make his father love him. He knows he's destined for a life of loneliness and pain. Knows that his goal to be a quirkless hero is nearly impossible.
Izuku knows that he's broken.
But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
Will Izuku let them?Series

Summary
This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen.
None of this was supposed to happen.
“Please, just help me understand,” Izuku choked, his lungs burning from the smoke of nearby fires. It felt as if he were breathing in small shards of glass, sharp and agonizing. But any physical pain that racked his exhausted body was nothing compared to the excruciating betrayal of the one person he thought he could trust.
