A Snapping Sound
By LunaLucrea
He swears his heart stops beating in his chest, and time has frozen over. Black bleeds into his vision and all he can see, all he can feel, is the mind numbing pain lancing through his face as his nose cracks and crunches, the entire front of his skull shattering like a glass mosaic against the pavement, his vision giving out and his breath catching in heaving, wet, aching lungs that are failing him as he screams-
“S-stop, stop!” Midoriya’s breathy voice somehow manages to break through the ringing in his head, instantly, painfully, dragging Shouta from the cold, dark depths of the memory, forcing him to breach the surface of the present, “Please- I’ll go with you, just don’t- please let them go.”
“No!” Shouta shouts, vaguely aware that he can hear the thudding of fists meeting unforgiving flesh, and an angry, muffled roar somewhere above him that must belong to Bakugou.
Aizawa and Bakugou are forced to watch as Midoriya slowly falls apart.

It was an absolute pleasure to be able to work on an art piece for @lunalucrea and her fic, A Snapping Sound! If you like angst, if you adore amazing writing and spot on characterisation, if you want an amazingly developing fic by a very talented author; you need to read this! It's heartbreaking in the best way!
And thank you so much, Luna! You're an absolute treasure!💙
