Izuku Midoriya left home at sixteen, not with a dream, but with a fracture.

The war was over, but the gratitude never came. At UA High, the students who had saved the nation were met with angry protests and violent blame. Izuku, once unbreakable, crumbled under the weight of being seen as a burden. So he vanished, leaving only a note behind.

When he finally returns a year later, he is hollowed out. The boy who never gave up now fights a silent, private war against his own body, an eating disorder born from the desperate need to control something, anything, when his world fell apart. His hero costume hangs loose. His green eyes have lost their fire.

Katsuki Bakugo has been drowning in his own hell.

The war left him with PTSD, relentless hypervigilance, nightmares of failure, and the haunting memory of the night he found Izuku's empty room and almost dying. Now that Izuku is back, Bakugo watches him like a hawk, noticing every skipped meal and flinched touch. He's always known how to fight villains. He has no idea how to fight this.

Together, they must learn that healing isn't about being whole again.

It's about holding each other through the cracks proving that even the most scarred souls can find their way back to the light.

Meanwhile, his boyfriend, Katsuki Bakugo, battles his own demons. Bakugo’s PTSD manifests as relentless hypervigilance, a haunting reminder of the war and how he almost died, plus the terrifying memory of Izuku’s disappearance and the fear it could happen again. Together, they must navigate the wreckage of their pasts and find a path toward healing, proving that even the most scarred souls can learn to be whole again.
