    Summary

    The life of a hero didn’t always involve grandiose fights or exemplary saves. Hero work usually meant patrolling and ensuring one was available for anything, big or small. Today was one of those days for three young heroes in training. Midoriya, Bakugou, and Todoroki were doing a usual patrol, not expecting anything significant to happen. Suddenly, trouble ensured.

    It all started with a civilian asking for help but were then unknowingly lured into a trap and then kidnapped to be sold off for their quirks. When the word goes out that the three strongest students at UA will be doing their work-study at the Endeavor agency, interested eyes are bound to follow them.

    Alternate ending version (in progress) available here: Lost Hope

    Available in Spanish (in progress): Llevado

    Summary

    “I don’t like it when you talk to our classmates like that,” Izuku says protectively. And that, that throws Katsuki off. Izuku never treats Katsuki like he’s someone people need to be protected from.

    It’s not like he’s ever trying to hurt anyone— not anymore— and he’s been better. Izuku knows he’s been better. He apologized to Kaminari, didn’t he? Hadn’t he? Well, no, he hadn’t really, but— but—

    “They’re my friends!” Katsuki shouts, feeling attacked.

    “You and I both know what you do to your friends, Kacchan,” Izuku responds.

    Katsuki begins to have hallucinations about Izuku when he’s not there. But is that all they are?

    Summary

    Or,

    Katsuki Bakugou learns the importance of appreciating today the hard way. All the villains he's defeated, all the wars he's fought in, and a hummingbird's eulogy is still the hardest thing he's ever had to do.

    Summary

    Rather than the police station, Katsuki's friends bring him to a hospital after rescuing him from the villains. His wounds were minor, but it didn't make having them treated any less important. As it would so happen, Best Jeanist was also brought to this hospital after the attack.

    Sometimes, small choices have a big impact on how a story plays out.

    ---------------
    Aka: Best Jeanist Acquires A Son. Featuring: Serious talks regarding abuse and emotional scars, one adult finally stepping the hell up and trying to help Katsuki, me going off about the sports festival because I'm still not over it, pro-heros having a group chat, and Katsuki finally getting a chance to learn how to be good.
