Do you have any dabihawks fic recommendations?
Mh, I already made a fic recs post a while ago. You can find it here. Though I do have a few more suggestions:
The lies we tell ourselves by Desbelleschoses
I’m pretty sure a lot of people already know this one, as it has been updating regularly for a while now. But essentially, little by little during his double agent gig, Hawks finds out that Dabi is Todoroki Touya.
Metal Chick by glitteringeva
Hawk’s career as a musician is undergoing a bit of a rocky situation in the aftermath of some incident involving Enji. Enter Dabi, the singer of a metal band that has taken an interest in him, and Miruko, determined to make the two of them work together. Not going to lie, I’m on this boat equally for the dabihawks endgame and for the todofamily feels.
Dragon head, snake tail by Lycaonpictus77
THIS FIC IS EVERYTHING. Lol, okay, it had me stupidly hooked since chapter 1. Essentially, bodyswap AU in which Dabi gets thrown in a world where Shinogu Touya is a hero, while Touya wakes up in a world where not only is he a villain, but also somehow estranged from his family. LISTEN I HAVE A MAJOR WEAKNESS FOR BODYSWAPS AUS and this one checks all my boxes. Please read it, you won’t regret it
Canary in a coal mine by marreena
can you believe that this is the only fic I was able to find in which Dabi is portrayed as the right amount of soft and touch-starved? Gosh, it’s a godsent amongst all the dub-cons out there and I’ll forever cherish it
Fever dream, by sushibomb
Hawks takes care of a very sick, very bratty Dabi. Who doesn’t need to have the mental picture of Dabi in a blanket cocoon with only his eyes poking out?
the phoenix, by domestichobgoblin
this one is shigadabihawks, but please consider reading it even if the pairing is not your cup of tea. This fic has the best Hawks’ characterisation I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, and it’s the most believable take I saw so far of Hawks’ “fallen angel” theory
to nurture a phoenix, by seiyuna
crack treated seriously but boy, you’re missing out if you haven’t read this little gem. Basically, Hawks brings home an egg and tells Dabi that it’s their child. Dabi takes his sudden fatherhood very seriously
Asterism, by Bacchant
a collection of dabihawks drabbles featuring various prompts. It goes from corny to heartwrenching with such ease it’ll probs give you whiplash, but the author has a great grasp of Hawks and Dabi’s respective personalities as well as their dynamic. 10/10 would recommend
give me more than the things i’ve lived for, by eliestarr
In which Dabi finds a healthier way to channel his revenge towards his dad, Hawks wants desperately to save him, and the todofamily gets to have the heartwarming reunion that it deserves. Kudos to this fic for making me incredibly soft. I love the way Hawks’ and Dabi’s mutual support system is shown. All the soft scenes of comfort were what truly made this read so worth it (also, this fic has a good take on how the aftermath of Endvore’s fall from grace would affect the ranking system, which is another great plus imho)
