Dabihawks bodyswap fic!
Divergences from about chapter 322
After accidentally getting affected by a bodyswap quirk, Hawks ends up stuck in the body of his last hook-up, Dabi, and must play the part of the villain if he wants to find his way back to his own body. Alongside Spinner, Toga, and the All for One controlled Shigaraki - all of whom bear deep, lethal hatred for Hawks - he won't have an easy time getting away from them quietly in order to return to the heroes.
Dabi, meanwhile, wakes up at UA in Hawks' body, surrounded by teenagers who have no clue that the man stuck in Hawks' body is Todoroki Touya. They just think he's some random ex of Hawks'. Considering it in his best interest to stay lowkey, Touya plays the part of the civilian while spending far too much time with his kid brother and his hero student friends, not to mention their teachers and the other pro heroes who would throw him in jail for the next century if they knew who he was.
While they wait to find each other so they can get back into their normal bodies, Dabi and Hawks must learn to live in each other's bodies, navigate their relationships with the people around them, and somehow cope with seeing the other man's face in the mirror every day.
