    Summary

    Young Izuku nods. He’s still pale, with a careful blankness to his face, and his shoulders tremble slightly when he moves. In a small, sure voice, he says, “I’ve thought about what you told me, and what I’ve seen. And there’s only one explanation: I’m dead.”

    “Ah,” says Mirio.

    Izuku rubs his forehead with the heel of his hand. “We should probably just call Mr. Aizawa.”

    ---

    There are versions of himself that Izuku wishes he could bury.

    Summary

    Izuku has plans for everything.

    He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

    For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

    Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

    (Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

    Summary

    “Mama and Baba used to teach me, they said it was important for a rogue cultivator to know.” There’s a note of sadness in Wei Ying’s voice as he talks, but then the splashing starts again.

    “Are you going to be a rogue cultivator when you grow up?” Xiao Xingchen asks, sitting down on his side of the partition, trying to decide if he needed to come around to the other side.

    Summary

    [Iroh’s phone rings.

    He doesn’t recognize the number but he answers anyway.

    “Hello?”

    For a few moments all Iroh can hear is shallow, raggedy breathing on the other end of the line. Then finally, he can hear a hoarse, familiar voice that he hasn’t heard in years.

    “Uncle Iroh? I need your help. Can you...can you come pick me up?”]

    Or,

    Iroh wasn’t prepared for another child, but the universe hasn’t ever cared about that.
