it’s about the parallels and shared trauma and opposing values and the way they interact and do i really need to explain

-

Look, I could write a whole essay of 20 pages of why this ship has been wasted in the canon and why they should be together and why are they so gay for each other AND WHY HORIKOSHI?????

But I think I will try to summarize it a minimum for everyone’s sake (including mine)

Canon wise their backstories were perfect for the parallels and the way that they interact in general had SO MUCH SEXUAL TENSION that it’s not even funny. And their fight? With all the trauma and info dumping? PEAK

AND THEN ALL WENT WRONG, I'M STILL SO MAD ABOUT IT, because YES, Hawks has sold his body and soul for justice but are you seriously telling me that he is going to back up an abusive father taking into account that his own father was abusive? Maybe BUT we needed more conflict, more acknowledgement, MORE ANYTHING

AND ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SAYING THAT HAWKS LOST FUCKING EVERYTHING FOR SAVING JAPAN AND I HAVE TO BE OKAY WITH IT????? For me it gets the same feeling like Ekko (Arcane) and I really don’t like it

ANYWAY, fuck canon (just in general) lets talk about the possibilities and the fics OH. MY GOD THE FICS!! From childhood friends to the Modern Au’s for the toxic yaoi to the fix it’s, they are all incredible and I really think that they explore a lot of what this relationship could have been :D

I truly believe that Dabi had a soft spot for the LOV in general and that Hawks actions would have had consequences in their relationship BUT at the same time Hawks would have had to give up his convictions to be with the man that he truly loves. But they compliment each other so well: they are ready to sacrifice everything to achieve their goal, they would understand each other, they would be stubborn in their beliefs…

I don’t know if you have seen the official art of Hero Touya but it gives a good perspective of what could have been if ENDEAVOUR HADN’T BEEN A PIECE OF TRASH (Redemption arc my ass!! ARE YOU FOR REAL?? FUCK HIM!!!!!!)

ANYWAY, I really think that Hot Wings is peak relationship of this series and canon or not they are perfect for each other…

…In every universe <3

DabiHawks are perfect parallels and narrative foils, and I firmly believe that in a world with decent story writing where they were given the agency to be characters beyond supplementing Enji’s bullshit, that they would absolutely be the best center of the narrative. They perfectly represent all the themes BNHA should encompass. My favorite corner of the fandom, by far. The only corner of the fandom I want to be in honestly, they just GET IT.

Everything that’s not DabiHawks is so cooked. DabiHawks has so much story potential it’s crazy, and the fact that it’s like the 5th biggest ship in the fandom on AO3 while spitting in the face of canon means the fans are a force to be reckoned with. For good reason though- I ain’t never seen a ship with such consistently good fics before, they know how to scrape up every ounce of potential and run with it.

Haimawari Koichi | The Skycrawler/Number Six

Normalest man on earth/a fucked up science experiment trying to kill him and steal his identity. They're the perfect balance of tragic and incredibly funny.
