Fics like I have spread my dreams under your feet, tread softly because you tread on my dreams

Izuku Midoriya is eight years old when the sludge villain comes for him, eight years old when his body finally answers in the way he's spent four years begging it to, eight years old when he learns that virtue has a price no one warns you about, particularly not the Hero Public Safety Commission, whose interest in the 'greater good' is terrifying. The Commission loves children like Izuku, children whose quirks bloom strange and starving, children whose gifts require a certain kind of feeding. Izuku is eight years old, and useful, and so terribly, terribly doomed. Survival is the first violence we commit against ourselves and breath is both mercy and theft. This is the virtue no one acknowledges: that we are all dying magnificently and calling it living. That heroism is sometimes just the exhausted choice to continue. That glory is often just another word for aftermath. Everything has a cost, and the world always collects.
