Fics like First, he was kind, and perhaps that is the deepest shame I have felt

Shame. What an inconsequential word. It rolled off the tongue with little effort. Izuku had heard all possible thoughts involving shame, but he'd never felt shame. He's never been ashamed of himself. Izuku had never once bothered to let a silly thing like shame sink into his bones. He couldn't afford it. Survival was paramount, and sometimes, one had to do many shameful things to get by when life only handed you heartache and hatred. There was no time to worry about the shame of all he'd had to do just to get through another day, even if Izuku knew in the depths of his aching chest, he was lying to himself. _____ OR: Izuku is saved from the roof by Overhaul, instead of meeting All Might after the Sludge Villain incident. His life takes a very different turn. TW: Discussions of suicide, rape/non-con, child abuse, quirk abuse. _____ PLEASE read the tags <3 I DO NOT own the MHA/BNHA universe, only this original plot. Please DO NOT re-post my work, or bind/sell. Please ASK to podfic. _____ Posted: 6/29/25
