Summary
The first thing Izuku felt when he came back to consciousness was cold. A kind of bone deep chill that froze him to his very core. His arms were cold, his legs were cold, even his chest felt like it was freezing over. If Izuku wasn't acutely aware of the beating of his heart, he'd think he was dead.
Blinking his eyes open, he was met with darkness, and he pushed himself up so he could get a better view of his surroundings. Which, of course, was when he discovered that his hands were bound in heavy metal manacles and chained to the wall behind him.
Something like dread began to worm its way into Izuku's stomach.

Summary
Toshinori's last wish had been for Shouta to take the boy on as his padawan, and for the life of him, Shouta couldn't figure out why. He and Izuku were nothing alike. The boy was all nervous energy and bright smiles, while Shouta was more stoic and relaxed. Toshinori had been a hero, the best of the Jedi knights, and Izuku was quickly following in his footsteps. The two had practically been chosen by the Force to lead the galaxy into a new age of peace.
But then the Sith rose, and Toshinori had died defending the capital, and Izuku came back to the Temple saying that Toshinori had told him, with his dying breaths, to seek out Shouta and become his padawan, and Shouta had agreed. What else was he supposed to do? Ignore a dying man's wishes? Leave the kid alone when he was clearly struggling? Shouta might not have taken a padawan before, but he could recognize the lost look in Izuku's eyes, and Shouta had resolved to drag him back from the brink, no matter how long it took.

Jedi knight Shouta Aizawa and his new padawan Izuku Midoriya are sent on a mission to catch an assassin. They get more than they bargained for.

Summary
Shouta has never been good with kids. In fact, he's been known to make children cry just by smiling at them. According to Hizashi, his smile was enough to put the fear of God into any living person on Earth, including the man himself. And even when he didn't smile, something about Shouta's bloodshot eyes and scraggly hair tended to scare kids off before he could even attempt to get close.
So he stopped trying. He lets Hizashi or Tensei or hell, even Nemuri, deal with the kids they rescue on missions together, and when it's just him, he quickly hands them over to the first officer on the scene. It was an efficient strategy, and one that had been working for the past eight years.
But this kid? This kid was different.

Aizawa finds a boy hurt and shivering in the cold, and decides to take care of him himself.

Summary
Shouta was woken by a hand on his shoulder, shaking him gently. "Sho?"
He groaned, turning away despite the horrible crick in his neck.
"Sho, I really need you to wake up babe. Like, right now, please."
Instantly, Shouta snapped to attention, grabbing the hand on his shoulder protectively. "What? What's wrong?"
The man above him chuckled uneasily, voice intentionally light. "Oh nothing, just that there's a kid on our couch and I have no idea how he got there and I would really like an explanation please?"
Shouta blinked up at Hizashi, mind taking a minute to catch up to his husband's words. Slowly, he turned to look at the couch. A head of green hair poked out of a mess of blankets just enough for a pair of eyes to watch the two men in front of them. The entire bundle was shaking nervously.
The kid.
Fuck. The kid.
---Aizawa and Yamada open their home to a skittish boy Aizawa plucked off the street. Conversations ensue, tears are cried, and the Aizawa-Yamada household finds the missing piece they didn't know they were looking for.

Summary
Insomnia was a bitch.
This was far from the first time that Izuku had gotten only an hour of sleep. It definitely wouldn't be the last time either. Nightmares plagued him when he closed his eyes. Tsuyu disintegrating, Aizawa with his head caved in, Iida dead at Stain's feet, Kouta's body in Muscular's hand, Eri screaming his name as Overhaul dragged her away… Yeah. He had plenty of nightmare fuel to last him the rest of his life, and he wasn't even in his second years of high school yet.
Yeah. Today was not going to be a good day.

Izuku is working on his second day of no sleep and gets an unpleasant wake up call. Aizawa reminds him that it's okay to ask for help.

Summary
Shouta wished he could say he was surprised when Verdant knocked on his door at three in the morning, but he wasn't. He'd given the vigilante his address for a reason, and no one else would dare to bother him at 'fuck no' o'clock. So when he padded out of bed and opened the door, he expected to see the kid in his dark green jumpsuit, mask pulled over his face and hands on the bo staff he used for a weapon.
What he didn't expect was for the kid to be dripping blood onto his carpet.
---
A vigilante named Verdant shows up bloody on Shouta's doorstep. Trust is earned, conversations are had, and Shouta learns a little more about the boy that's been following him around the past six months.

Summary
Dark Eye looked back over her shoulder. "Sorry boys. Happy hunting!" With a kiss and a wave, she tapped something on her wrist. And then everything went very, very wrong.
Izuku watched as the first explosion went off, right where he'd kicked Dark Eye against the wall. Another exploded to his left, taking out a support beam, and the danger began to settle in. He was only thirty feet from the door. With One For All, he could make it.
But Aizawa couldn't. He had barely begun to get to his feet. He'd never make it out in time.
So. Save himself, or try to save Aizawa?
It wasn't even a choice, really.
---
Pro Heroes Eraserhead and Deku fight a villain that can make someone blind. Things get worse from there.

Summary
Izuku woke up hating his existence with every fiber of his being.
Everything hurt. His head, his hands, his back, even his knees, which was just weird. On top of that, It felt like he hadn't slept at all last night, which was a shame, because he could already tell that he was going to need all of his energy to make it through the day. And there was a funny taste in his mouth. It was more annoying than concerning, but still. It was there.
And of course, his nose was still running.
---
Izuku is sick. Aizawa makes sure he gets some rest.

"You have two hours to find everything you need. Present Mic and I will be patrolling the mall, so come find us or call us if there's an emergency or you need something. Stay in groups, do not go off on your own, am I understood?" He looked pointedly at Midoriya, and the boy smiled sheepishly.
"Yes Sensei!"
"Good. Get going."

Summary
"What's…" Shouta's voice came out raspy. He cleared his throat and tried again. "What's going on..?"
Someone leaned over him. They were little more than a blob of color, but they spoke with a female voice. "Please don't panic sir, you're in the hospital, we're taking you into surgery right now." The woman disappeared from sight, but her voice still rang loud and clear. "Someone get him under, we've gotta move!"
"Hizashi… my husband…"
"You're family's on their way, sir, just remain calm."
"...safe?" Shouta asked. A mask was fitted over his mouth and nose.
"Your family? As far as I know they're alright, your husband wasn't home and your son was the one who called the police."
Izuku called the police?
What the fuck happened?

A villain breaks into the Aizawa-Yamada household, and Shouta will fight to the death if it means protecting his son.

Summary
"What was that?"
"Turbulence," Aizawa replied, still with a furrow in his brow, "I'm going to speak with the pilot, stay here." He undid his seatbelt and stood, quickly making his way to the cockpit and out of sight.
Izuku sighed, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and moving to collect their fallen bags. He managed to shove the last one in the overhead before another bout of turbulence struck, knocking him flat on his ass. He groaned, pulling himself up only for the entire cabin to start shaking. The plane took a sharp nosedive, and Izuku found himself clutching the seats to stay upright.
"Sensei?!"
Aizawa threw open the door to the cockpit. "Get in your seat and fasten your seatbelt, the plane's going down!"
---
Izuku and Shouta take a plane ride to the States. They never make it there.
