-
Without his wings, the Commission didn’t need Hawks. They took care of his hospital bills, saw that his burns were treated well, formally retired the Number 2 hero (Hawks hated paperwork), and sent him home in a taxi. After all, he wasn’t flying back to his apartment.
He stumbled back into his apartment in a daze. He hadn’t been home in so long--he’d been in the hospital for days, and staying with the Paranormal Liberation Front before that. He’d left his place messy, which only further demoralized him. He noticed a trail of ants going back and forth from a moldy pizza. Great, he thought.
Rather than deal with it, he walked listlessly into his bedroom and collapsed on his bed. He missed having his own bed, his own blankets and pillows and his own Endeavor plushie from when he was a kid. But now, that stupid childish love of Endeavor made Hawks feel sick.
Touya Todoroki.
He shoved the plush under his pillows, trying not to think about any of it. About the High End attack, about Dabi revealing his identity to him, his memories of Touya when they were children.
Damn. He had to stop thinking about all this.
Hawks wrapped himself up in his blankets--not dissimilar from how he used to wrap his wings around himself from comfort--and tried to change his train of thought.
He couldn’t do hero work anymore, not without his wings. So what would he do now--get a normal job? Nearly his whole life, Hawks had been raised to be a hero. That had been his only purpose. The Commission took his name from him, made him into Hawks and Hawks only. He had never considered what other job he could do. Hell, he wasn’t sure he even had the skills or education for a different line of work. All he knew was how to be a hero.
He was listless for weeks. At first, the news was all the major parts of the battle: Shigaraki’s defeat, The hero Deku emerging as a beacon of hope, Endeavour failing where near students succeeded. During this time, some heroes he had worked with tried calling him or sending small tokens like flowers or casseroles, giving him their best. “I’m so sorry about your wings—Dabi is truly evil.” “You were one of my favorite heroes!” “Get well soon! I’m sure they will grow back!”
Burned cells, that badly burned cells, seldom grow back. And missing wings were sure to be maimed forever, of that, Hawks was sure.
The doctors told him to put ointments, burn creams, on the wounds regularly. Hawks could reach his face, of course, and the weaker burns on his arms, too, but reaching his back was difficult. Try as he might, he would never reach the areas most affected. Dabi really has it out for him, didn’t he? No, not Dabi. Touya. Hawks remembered Touya Todoroki. Back before Hawks was Hawks, when he was young and he was still Keigo Takami, he’d met Endeavor’s oldest child. Not through any normal means, but Keigo’s father had done something—a crime—Keigo was young and didn’t know why his father had fought the Number 2 hero, but it happened. He’d been hurt, Hawks remembered, and Endeavor had left him in the hero’s own home while he went to sort things out. Touya had played with Keigo, comforted him as he tried to process what had happened. He didn’t understand much, but he knew Endeavor had saved him. Looking back now, Hawks wished his child-self had looked harder. What was wrong? What made young Touya become Dabi?

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.
