Summary:
“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”
Izuku’s has been abused for all of his life. By his father, by his childhood friend, Izuku has felt the burn. It burned and burned until it became numb. It burned and burned until it became fuel.
It burned until Izuku himself burned in the flames.
Quirkless. Useless. Deku. That’s what he has been called, taunted, mocked. But that wasn’t the truth. He did have a quirk. He knew since that one day where he was coated in flames.
Izuku took the heat for many years. Now it’s time to let it loose.
