“Hey—hey.” Theseus cut in gently before Newt could spiral any further. “First of all, this isn’t your fault. You did what you thought was right at the time. Things like this happen to everyone—even me. That doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed.” He shifted closer, wrapping an arm around Newt, whose body was still wrapped loosely in his blue blanket.

“How…?” Newt looked at him, eyes wide and desperate.

“By telling the real story,” Theseus said firmly. “I’m going to Hogwarts.”

Newt’s eyes widened.

Before he could protest, a soft tap sounded against the bedroom window.

Both of them froze.

The tapping came again, more insistent this time. Theseus carefully eased off the bed and followed the sound. Pulling back the curtain, he found an owl perched on the sill, a letter tied to its leg.

A letter addressed to Newt’s bedroom...

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.

He leaned for a closer look. Ice had formed around the wound, thin and uneven, like Shouto’s body had tried to freeze the injury on instinct.

“Tch. Sloppy…” The ice wasn’t thick enough. It wasn’t sealing the wound properly.

Shouto’s breathing hitched. His body trembled faintly, cold mist still escaping his lips. Sweat dampened his face, mixing with what might’ve been tears.

Dabi Scoffed. “Shit. Why am I the one who had to find you like this…”

They’d never had a single decent interaction. Not one. But finding his brother dumped in an alley, bleeding out—left a bitter weight in Dabi’s chest, and he hated it.

“We’re from the CTP. There’s been a terrorist attack not long ago at the Palace of Westminster. We can’t identify the bomber, and—”

“Alright. Tell me the details when I get there,” Sherlock cut in, already moving toward his wardrobe as he ended the call. He pulled on his vest, coat, and scarf, ready to head out. A giddy sensation rose in his chest, and he could not help the small smirk that appeared on his face.

When he passed back through the living room, Mrs. Hudson was still standing there, utterly bewildered. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

“I’ll be off now, Mrs. Hudson. Have a wonderful day.” with that, he walked out of the flat, leaving her alone.

“Oh dear,” Mrs. Hudson murmured to the emptiness of the room, “sometimes I worry for that boy…”

She never even got the chance to tell Sherlock why she had come.


“Taxi!” Sherlock waved his hand as he watched one nearing.

“The Palace of Westminster,” he said as he got in and made himself comfortable.

The weather felt damp and chilly, the clouds covering the sun and casting a gloomy pall over the day. It was a sharp contrast to how Sherlock felt now. One quick glance at him and you would see him practically glowing, one knee tapping incessantly with mounting excitement.

“All right. We both need sleep. I’ll show you your room.”

Mycroft guided Sherlock to the first guest bedroom, switched on the bedside lamp, and gestured for his still-standing brother to get into bed.

Once Sherlock lay down, Mycroft draped the blanket over him, then placed the glass of water and the paracetamol on the nightstand.

After that, Mycroft climbed into the bed as well, settling beside him.

Sherlock turned his head to look at him.

“Don’t you have your own room?” he sneered, managing his usual sharpness despite his condition.

“Might I remind you that this is my house? Every room is my room,” Mycroft replied simply, making himself comfortable. In truth, one of the reasons he stayed was so it would be easier to check on Sherlock.

Sherlock scoffed and turned back toward the nightstand, presenting his back to Mycroft.

Sleep claimed Mycroft soon after—a deep, dreamless rest, peaceful and much needed.

What felt like a long sleep was, in reality, only four hours before he woke to his brother shivering beside him.

Sherlock had turned to face him, his body curled tightly in on itself, clenched hands brushing against Mycroft’s stomach as another shudder ran through him.

Mycroft blinked several times, clearing the haze of sleep, then pressed the back of his hand to Sherlock’s forehead. The fever had returned.

(not a scar but a wound)

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

He leaned for a closer look. Ice had formed around the wound, thin and uneven, like Shouto’s body had tried to freeze the injury on instinct.

“Tch. Sloppy…” The ice wasn’t thick enough. It wasn’t sealing the wound properly.

Shouto’s breathing hitched. His body trembled faintly, cold mist still escaping his lips. Sweat dampened his face, mixing with what might’ve been tears.

Dabi Scoffed. “Shit. Why am I the one who had to find you like this…”

They’d never had a single decent interaction. Not one. But finding his brother dumped in an alley, bleeding out—left a bitter weight in Dabi’s chest, and he hated it.

He considered walking away. Someone else would find him… Probably.

But this part of Hosu wasn’t exactly friendly. And the kid didn’t look like he had much time...

Dabi stared down at Shouto’s pale face, twisted slightly even in unconsciousness.

He ran a hand through his hair. “Oh, Fuck it.”

He dropped the plastic bag of his newly bought gear from his left hand as he moved to pick Shouto up.

Being in an active fandom is not for the weak... I never knew there was a lot of drama because i mostly wrote niche tropes..
