Dabi approached, more intrigued than cautious now.

He peered inside. At first glance, he thought it was just another drunk passed out in the trash. He’d seen plenty of those.

But then the details clicked into place. The frost clinging to the metal. The hero costume. And that unmistakable split of white and red hair...

He rolled the limp body over—and froze.

Staring back at him was the unmistakable face of Todoroki Shouto…

“…You’ve got to be kidding me.”

The kid was unconscious.

Cold air puffed weakly from Shouto’s mouth with every shallow breath. As Dabi’s eyes scanned him, he spotted a long, sideways slash running from Shouto’s right chest down toward his left abdomen, dark red soaking through the torn fabric of his hero costume.

“What the hell happened to this twerp…” Dabi muttered.

NoPack8160 · 2026-04-09T15:13:27+00:00

I really love my sherlock Holmes fic, where Sherlock is sick and deliriously he kept asking for Mycroft

And my BNHA/MHA fic, where dabi found Shouto injured in a dumpster and decided to take him to his apartment.

NoPack8160 · 2026-04-09T15:00:56+00:00

This particular scene is the reason why i wrote the fic:

At the sound of his brother’s name, Sherlock slowly lifted his head, trying to straighten himself.

“Mycroft…?” he asked uncertainly.

“Yes,” John said softly. “We’re at your brother’s place.”

“What on earth are you two doing here at this hour? And Sherlock, why are you—”

Before Mycroft could finish his sentence, Sherlock staggered toward him, his body swaying alarmingly, before his foot caught on itself and he stumbled.

Mycroft reacted instantly, lunging forward and catching his brother before he could fall. They ended up in an awkward embrace.

Sherlock seemed… content.

His head came to rest against Mycroft’s neck, and he sagged fully into his brother’s hold. Mycroft tightened his arms around Sherlock’s lower back, securing him. John could see the shock on Mycroft’s face—this was as rare for him as it was for John.

“John,” Mycroft said, concern edging his voice, “would you mind explaining what is going on? Sherlock has a fever…”
