  Summary

  Izuku jumped.

  There was no long, dramatic realisation before death, no sudden clarity. The terror did not have time to form into a thought. The ground rushed up to meet him, and—

  Pain. All-consuming, blinding pain.

  And then, nothing.

  A soft blackness wrapped around him like a blanket. No fear, no worries, just quiet and the warm of blood rushing out of him.

  Then he is yanked back.

  Air slammed into his lungs. Izuku gasped, choking, his hands clawed at the pavement below him only to find them crimson red.

   

  OR: Three students learn in different ways that the system rewards violence and obedience. They tell it to fuck off.

  Summary

  By the time he reached the exit of the hospital, the thought settled fully within Shota: he should have never been a teacher at all.

  He spent years being strict on his students to avoid another tragedy like Oboro’s death, but he had let it happen again, worse even.

  Inside his car, he bowed his head into his hands. The pressure in his chest had nowhere to go, his tear ducts too damaged to cry.

  So he sat there, alone, shaking.

   

  OR: Now that the final war is over, Aizawa decides he isn't fit to teach anymore, resigns from U.A., disappears, and becomes so uncooperative, that his hero licence is revoked. Of course, that does not stop him.
