Fractal | Shouto & Touya Todoroki | poetry/prose | 580 words
Shouto’s world changed when he woke up in the hospital.
Touya’s world changed when he woke up in the hospital.
His face had been burned, the doctor told him.
He had burned his body, a stranger told him.
Shouto remembered the shouting.
Touya remembered the desperation.
The kind of argument that felt like it shook the walls around him.
The disappointment in his father’s eyes, twisting up his insides as Endeavor shouted and raged and forced Touya to stop.
(He was being burnt up)
(He was being replaced)
Long after the echoes of his father’s voice had faded, Shouto remembered walking into the kitchen.
He remembered watching his mother’s unmoving form while she refused to say anything- anything- and then Touya blazed out the door without looking back to see if her expression had crumpled with regret.
He remembered watching his mother’s face flit from terror to anguish in the span of a breath as he entered, looking like she had been shattered by his soft-footed, pattering approach.
By then, Touya knew better than to search for regret in his father’s eyes.
And then the woman before him became unrecognizable.
Endeavor didn’t think Touya was strong enough but he was. He could be.
Shouto burned with the memory of a pain more intense than any he’d ever felt before.
Touya remembered the screaming in his veins, remembered the burn- harsher than anything he’d ever felt before. Remembered a startling break in the anguish and thinking, with his last shred of clarity, that this had to be good enough for his father.
It left Shouto numb and shivering beneath the thin, white hospital sheets.
It had to be.
“Mom..?” Shouto croaked and the doctor shook his head no.
It had to be.
Shouto didn’t cry when he saw the scar marring his face, but something inside of him felt sick.
Touya didn’t cry when he saw his mottled, purple reflection held together by crude stitches. Or when they told him he had died.
Shouto let the shock pool over him like ice and held the freezing shards close to his chest, hoping that they might be enough to douse the monstrous pain in his chest.
The disappointment was his own when he realized that he hadn’t been enough, after all. That he never was and never would be.
Shouto thought of the heat that always seemed to lick at his father’s eyes and fists when he shouted- warm enough to be felt even when Shouto couldn’t see the flames through his closed eyes or hear the words through his ragged, warbling breaths.
The bitterness was his own, too, but the expression in the mirror was startlingly familiar.
Heat thrummed uneasily beneath Shouto’s veins and the second he realized that the fire within himself was nothing more than his father’s furious legacy, pawned off onto Shouto like a lead shackle, was the second that Shouto Todoroki decided to freeze.
The second that Touya realized he was wearing the face his father had always greeted him with was the second time Touya Todoroki died and left a rotten shell of himself to walk the earth.
Shouto cast his eyes downward and didn’t respond to the doctor.
He didn’t notice that his father couldn’t look him in the eye.
Shouto grew older and decided that he and his mother were both victims of Endeavor.
Touya grew smarter and decided that the world would soon know who had driven him to an early death.
really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.
More pixie hollow au!

I’d also highly recommend!! As much as I love (read: am obsessed with) my hero academia, blue period is easily my fav anime/manga of all time and I re-watch/re-read it all the time
To be completely honest, it’s really comforting and inspiring to me, and while re-watching it on the precipice of my decision to give writing an honest shot or not, it helped me gain the courage to sign up for a writing course and have a little more confidence in my ability to write original works. It hold a very special place in my heart!!
“But I’ve never felt so alive until I made that blue painting. I felt my heart start pounding just now.”
-Yatora Yaguchi, ep.1
Blue Period is one of my all time favorite animes/mangas out there. I haven’t had the time to sit down and read the manga, but I’ve watched the anime. Let me tell you, it does not disappoint. When i stumbled upon Blue Period last year, i was like, “hmmm, this one seems interesting. let’s take a look.”
I can’t tell you how floored i was with the sheer detail and color in this anime. It’s absolutely incredible! Not only that, but the story keeps you intrigued all throughout the anime. The character development is exceptional. The way it was executed was damn near perfect and i love all the details that include the family dynamics of a few characters in this anime. It all has perfect timing and i swear i bawled my eyes out at a few parts.
I think Blue Period is an amazing anime/manga, and if you’re thinking about reading or watching, i say go for it!
Okay so tumblr overwhelmingly won the poll so I made a sideblog (@bi-focal15) to keep everything organized once the actual challenge starts. I'm putting together some posts to keep everybody engaged with one another and with their writing and I'll share the posting schedule on March 1st on that blog so we're all on the same page! No need to follow the sideblog either since I'll just carry over the taglist, but I wanted to let everyone know ahead of time since my user will change slightly!
I hope everybody's getting excited about their writing, whether you have a detailed WIP in mind or just some characters you wanna play around with!!
If you'd like to be added or dropped from the taglist, please leave a comment on this post :) everybody's welcome to participate!

Ciao!
Io sono interessato a scorprire le amicizia italiani per parlare con mentre imparo la lingua! Il mio blog è in inglese ma io parlo di scrivere e l’anime (sopratutto my hero academia).
Mi mandi un messaggio se interessa o se hai una raccomanda italiana per i film/le serie, musica, o i libri :)
