    Summary

    Hawks is used to working long shifts, used to running on fumes, used to generally being worked like a machine, because that's what he is. It's what he was trained--made--for. If he doesn't, there's hell to pay from the people who own him. He's never really been cared for in any meaningful way. So why the hell is the villain that hates him acting like he gives a damn? And what is he supposed to do when he starts to see the cracks in his worldview?

    Once again, I am really bad at summaries, and have no beta readers. Basically, Hawks learns what it's like to be taken care of and falls in love along the way, no matter how hard he fights it. Dabi is really, really bad at hiding how much he cares, but thank god Hawks is completely oblivious half the time. There will be angst, and pining, and Hawks generally being the smart, self-destructive hero we all know and love.

    Warnings to note: Hawks is, like, really damaged from how the Commission treats him, Dabi is still a villain, and there are some pretty dark themes in this story. I'll update the taglist as we go, but be prepared.
