    Summary

    "Oi, the fuck are you doing in there?"

    The voice that interrupts his afternoon break comes from a boy standing outside the fountain. Dazai's only able to make out the obnoxiously bright ginger hair on the other side of the water that separates them, but it's annoying enough as it is. Turning his head, Dazai decides to ignore him until he leaves.

    "You know I can see you, right? You were just looking at me!"

    --
    Or: Dazai's bored and lives in a mansion, Chuuya's the mysterious garden boy working for his family, and fate brings them together over and over again only to rip them apart.

    A tragedy in three acts.

    Now with stunning art by mafachee, lluvproof and circusfable <3

    Summary

    “How many times have we done this?”

    “A dozen,” Hawks admits. He skims his fingers up and down Dabi’s chest, careful of the staples. “Maybe more.”

    Dabi’s brow pinches. “What happened the rest of the time?”

    Four months’ worth of loops replay in Hawks’ mind like a film reel. All the times he tried and failed to change the outcome of the attack on the villa. All the times he wanted to just give up. All the times he did.

    “Oh, you know,” Hawks says lightly, mustering his most convincing smile. “Same old stuff.”

     

    When Hawks gets hit with a time loop quirk, he takes it as an opportunity to make things right. In more ways than one.

    Summary

    Since the end of the war, Hawks has spent his summers heading up a youth camp for kids with troublesome Quirks. It’s the least he can do, when the seasons drag in the city and Hawks is escaping ghosts he can’t outrun.

    This year is looking to be the same as any other. He’s expecting campfires. He’s expecting mosquito bites. He’s expecting to end up in the lake.

    He’s not expecting Dabi.

    Summary

    Hawks' approach is languid, his expression is easy and open. Even knowing it's fake, Dabi can't see the cracks in the façade. Horrifying, really.

    "Hey," Hawks greets as he enters the shadow of the alley. He then proceeds to crash against the brick wall at a glacial pace, face smooshed up against the brick and his shoulders and torso slumping to follow.

    In half surprise, half genuine glee, Dabi cackles. Hawks' arm twitches at his side like maybe he'd flip Dabi off if he had the strength.

    Dabi's still chuckling when he asks, "How ya feelin', hero?"

    "Like shit," Hawks grumbles into the wall.

    "You look it," Dabi assures him, grinning and pulling out his phone. He came all this way; Hawks can afford to wait a minute while Dabi gets a few pictures.

    Trying to get a ride home from a party, Hawks misdials and gets Dabi. Dabi, thinking it'll be fun to see his "favorite hero" drunk out of his mind, agrees to help Hawks get home.

    Things get a lot less fun when Dabi realizes Hawks isn't drunk.

    Summary

    “Obviously Dabi will need to be reintegrated into society,” Hawks says. “Get a job. His own room and board. Granting the use of his quirk is a conversation in the far, far future—“

    “You want to have him work a civilian job?” Mera asks, aghast. “You want us to do that?”

    Hawks smiles gleefully. “He already has one. He’s my bodyguard.”

    Who else is going to protect him from Mera strangling him?

    --

    Hawks heard breakups with your exes are supposed to be less messy. He’s not doing a good job.
