  1. Summary

    "Adversity makes us stronger" is a lie people tell themselves to make their lives easier to stomach, Izuku thinks. If they acknowledged that the life they suffered through was just another blip in the world's radar, any rational person would lose their mind. All adversity does is make you brittle, and hard, and, when pushed in a certain way, oh-so-easy to break.

    Pre-canon. A series that explores how Midoriya Izuku navigated middle school.

    Summary

    Chapter 1: Happiness was supposed to be something that only happened to other people.

    (An AU in which Hayato is an actual kid, instead of a creepy plot-convenience device, which results in absolutely no Justice being enacted whatsoever but Happiness reigning supreme.)

    [Or: In which I make a fucking serial killer fucking cute and it fucking works.]

    Chapter 2: Jotaro makes a new friend.

    Who turns out to have once been an enemy, but it’s funny how drastically some things can change.

    [Or: In which Justice gets screwed over yet again, and people who suck at friendship somehow end up with friends.]

    Chapter 3: In which there are confusing moral/philosophical dilemmas and Josuke watches (and helps) his friends move on from Yoshikage Kira.

    Chapter 4: Jotaro visits his wife and daughter, a little bit changed for having become friends with Kosaku Kawajiri.

    Summary

    Months into having a partner rather more inclined towards violence as solution than himself, and it still rattled Daniel's brain and other, less conscious parts.

    Or, Daniel develops a bit of a fetish.
