No such thing as a clean break

Touya’s had a soft spot for Shouto all his life. Soft as in rotten, like bruised fruit. Damaged Goods. He looks at Shouto and sees all the marks he’s left on him. One slip will destroy them, and if it was only Touya balancing on that knife edge— well, he’s made his peace with that, hasn’t he? Shouto, though… He isn’t sure he can stand by and watch him take that fall.
Shouto won’t let him go, even when he should. So Touya does the only thing he can think of: he tries pushing his brother away.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I think horikoshi owes it to the todoroki siblings to give touya a redemption arc. or, at the very least, end their storyline with the siblings reaching some kind of middle ground. otherwise i’ll be both devastated and pissed
Very weird energy for someone that didn’t have to even comment on my post ?? And I didn’t say he needed to be forgiven. If you’re only definition of a redemption arc is complete forgiveness then that’s your problem. I just believe that the todoroki siblings deserved better. Sorry you don’t feel that way lol

I just think it’s so unfair. Like,,don’t get me wrong his choices are HIS choices but he was nothing more than a young boy desperately seeking approval and acceptance who definitely mad a lot of wrong turns and terrible decisions. Perhaps it’s the optimist in me, but I’d like to think that, at some point, he’d recognize that his efforts to destroy and create chaos are futile. He’d probably end up locked up in some kind of maximum security prison but I’d at least like to see the other todoroki siblings visit him from time to time after there’s been time to come to an understanding of some kind

love language
Omg I’m reading this fic and I love the idea of if the todoroki siblings all just disapproved of hawks dating dabi. Like dabi is too good for hawks. And I kind of really support that notion. But dabi is like guys he’s cool now, he hates endeavor too now so idk why you hate my boyfriend he’s not that bad. Meanwhile natsuo is madly in love with shigaraki and they’re all totally fine with that
My Hero Academia: Ambush Simulation AU - Provisional License Exam
Touya finding out Shouto failed the provisional license exam, something he himself had to pass in order to participate in UA's ambush simulation for legal reasons.
Touya: Weren't you going to do some celebrating thing for Shouto passing the exam?
Fuyumi: He didn’t pass.
Touya: *snorts tea through his nose* He fucking what now?
Fuyumi: Touya!
Touya: *coughing/visibly struggling not to laugh* How bad was it?
Fuyumi: *also trying not to laugh but only laughing because he's laughing* This isn’t funny. Stop laughing.
Touya: *cry laughing, high-pitched voice* I’m sorry he didn’t pass, that really sucks. I just wish I could have seen the look on Dad’s face. Did he turn purple?
Fuyumi: No, but he did go into the garden to shoot off 'fireworks.'
Touya: Is that what woke me up?
...
Fuyumi: *on phone with Shouto later* Anyway, that's the story of why Touya is now eating your victory cake. I'll send you the 'sorry, you tried' cupcakes later.
Shouto: That's fine. Thank you anyway.
Fuyumi: Yeah, weird thing is it's red velvet and Touya can't stand red velvet, so this is some diabolical pettiness. *covers phone to yell* Do you have to be such a child? You're gonna make yourself sick and I'm not cleaning it up!
Touya: *distant maniacal cackling*
...
Touya: *on phone with Shouto later* So I just wanted to ask what the hell happened. Aside from Fuyumi ordering both a 'congrats' cake and 'sorry, you tried' cupcakes and totally jinxing it for you.
Shouto: I...kinda ended up fighting with a student from another school.
Touya: ...we're speaking the same language, and yet I still feel like I mistranslated something. You wanna run that by me again?
Shouto: I got into a fight with another student, lost points, and fell below the passing score. ......... Yeah, I can still hear you laughing, Touya.
Touya: *struggling* Okay, so what have we learned?
Shouto: *sighs* Don't get into fights while taking career-important exams.
Touya: Precisely. Only my exact phrasing would have been, 'Don't be a jackass.' Did you win?
Shouto: No, Midoriya split us up before it got too serious.
Touya: What, and you didn't challenge the guy to settle the matter in the parking lot afterward? Who was he anyway? Was it a he? She? Them?
Shouto: He was someone from Shiketsu.
Touya: ...and you didn't start a rumble in the parking lot? Some friends you have.
Shouto: Mr. Aizawa would have stopped us.
Touya: And there's twenty of you and one of him, what's your point?
...
So anyway, even in this AU, Touya is still a brat living in the madness of his own mind. And after the whole incident on top of Machia, that seems pretty on brand for him.
