Summary
“He was still Deku. Still the idiot who always chose everyone else first. And someone had to choose him back.”
In a world where Quirks define caste, Izuku Midoriya is a quirkless Red born to serve.
Katsuki Bakugo is Gold—powerful, untouchable, destined for glory.They were never meant to matter to each other.
They do anyway.When the world tears them apart, it doesn’t take everything. Time passes. The system tightens. Both are shaped into things they never chose to be—and still, something remains. A pull. An echo. The sense that what was taken isn’t finished being theirs, despite the names they’re given.
—OR—
Katsuki is a violent Gold heir with too much pressure and not enough patience.
Izuku is a quirkless Red servant who can't seem to stay in line (or out of Katsuki's goddamn thoughts).
And the fragile thread between them might be enough to tear the world in half, through blood, through fire, through every name they were never meant to wear.Series
