    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

    Summary

    "They knew the unspoken rules, like not to touch that one red book of Kanut’s, to never sleep on the left-hand bed in the infirmary, to appreciate the sun, to not question Chena when he stormed out of his hammock one night and proceeded to empty every bottle of rum over the ship’s rail, to never ask why the Chief carried a Fire Nation sword everywhere he went."

    But the kids have always been curious people, and how do you break the rules you didn't understand?

    The Water-Tribe warriors had no intention of telling them what had happened those three weeks; nevertheless, the emotions bled through.

    Summary

    Toshinori reaches a hand, the one that is shattered beyond repair and drenched in blood. He gives a smile to the boy. He can feel blood smeared across his teeth. He can't imagine his smile is any reassurance, but Toshinori is dying and desperate. A piss-poor smile is all he can give.

    A piss-poor smile, and an earth-shattering quirk.

    'I have a healing quirk,' he lies, begging the boy with his eyes. Please, say yes. Please accept my DNA. 'It only works on others. Let me h-help you? I won't last.' Toshinori's words come more and more haltingly. He can feel cold darkness encroaching on his limbs already. He tilts his hand, just slightly, just enough to renew his offer to the boy. 'At-At least… Not long enough… For help to arrive in time.'

    *

    Yagi Toshinori gets caught in a building collapse in his powered-down form. As he lays dying and without a successor, he offers his quirk to a young boy who is trapped alongside him.

    All Might never makes it out of the building. But Midoriya Izuku does.

    With no parent and a new limb-breaking quirk, he becomes a ward of UA.

    Summary

    “Alright.” Ito leans forward just a little. Her eyes seem to spark, just for a moment, but Izuku figures he’s just imagining it. “You say you need to work on control. Start like this, Midoriya: do what they tell you.”

    Or: Midoriya finds himself the victim of an obedience quirk. The situation does not improve from there.
