    Summary

    Under a pile of wishes, dreams, and hopes - some long discarded, some kept close to his heart, it lies: a desperate craving for things to just be easy. What he wouldn't give to just have something handed to him. Not a chance, a challenge, an opportunity to prove himself, to work harder. Just the thing. On a silver platter. Within reach. Unburdened by guilt, sacrifice, or struggle.

    For once.

    But it's a fantasy. The world doesn't work like that, not for Shinsou Hitoshi. And if it ever miraculously did, he knows damn well he wouldn't trust it anyway. So it's back to working towards his wants, which is exactly what brought him here today.

    Here, Hitoshi just now notices, is the closed gates of the UA campus. And today is the day of his transfer exam into the hero course.

    Summary

    Maybe she should've stood up front with Iida to learn everybody's name after all. Her gaze strayed to the loudest girl in the room, the blonde with the large grin — and was that a streak of black lightning in her hair? Hitomi only had to watch for another second to find out why, her brow rising at the sight of little yellow crackles of electricity popping from her fingertips. Okay, Denden-Myōjin, got it.

     

    'What the fuck, Hitomi, why did you compare this girl to a lightning deity? Aizawa was very clear about staying away from loud blondes. '

     

    (Or, Shinsou Hitomi grapples with UA's hero course, directly following meeting her biological father — the teacher of said course.)

    Summary

    Hitoshi gasped awake, desperately clutching at his chest, where he could have sworn a gaping hole would be waiting. His hand found solid warmth, and he collapsed back into his mattress with relief.

    He pulled as the memories of his not-quite-dream, and unravels the end: the push and pull of two titans, the feeling of black tendrils cutting through bone, the pain and the fear and the peace, knowing that they were safe, even if she wouldn’t be there.

    He had been dreaming of a memory that wasn’t his.

    Who the hell is Shimura Nana? He asks himself.

    ~

    The internet tells him that Shimura Nana died forty years ago, of unconfirmed injuries sustained in a disaster rescue mission.

    Hitoshi knows that she had lightning shot through her body while fighting for her life, burning her up from the inside, and that she died with tears clouding her vision and a bloody smile on her face.

    ----
    Or, Shinsou's quirk use at the Festival triggers the first of Midoriya's Vestige Visions, but also a lot more.

    Hitoshi just wants to be a hero. Now he's got eight ghosts who can't figure out how to contact the right person.
