Chapter Text
Introduction to the AU:
"This story didn’t end with the heroes’ victory. All For One had succeeded. They had all lost. But that was before a torrent of memories — from a future he had never lived — gave him the chance to change that disastrous fate.
The end of a paradox.
The one Izuku triggered."
And this act contains the beginnings of this different world. Including the implications that come with it.
Chapter Summary:
- Scars
Izuku finds his daughter, Hikari, still awake after the live broadcast of his mission. What follows is an important conversation on a heavy topic:

But what do they really mean?

- Embers that burn and smolder
The UA school years now feel so far away. But Izuku is proud — and surely incredibly busy — handling his missions as a new pro hero. This one, in particular, is more delicate than the others. And for good reason: loss of quirk control often plays a part in his duties.

- Katsudon
Second year is almost over. But it feels like something’s still stuck in their throats. Especially for Izuku. He hopes to finally rest and enjoy a quiet moment with Yagi over some katsudon.
He really needs it. These moments of peace.
- Open your heart
He had done it. And together, Ochako and he were going to gather their loved ones to tell them the news.
He still couldn’t believe he had managed to propose to Ochako — after all these years. After the war.
But during their visit to UA, two individuals stood out.
