Summary
Katsuki's life was never supposed to go this way. Not this sideways, not this confusing, not this broken. UA’s Number One problem child had a plan: graduate, surpass everyone, and become the world's best hero. But all it takes is one quirk accident to destroy everything. Well, it depends on perspective.
Now, with her body transformed and her life thrown into chaos, Katsuki’s fight isn’t just against villains. It’s against herself, her family, and the unrelenting voice of doubt whispering that she’ll never be enough. Her mother is breaking under the weight of what she can’t fix, her father offers quiet support she can't understand, and in the midst of it all, there’s Izuku Midoriya.
Izuku, who’s lost so much since the war: not just his quirk, but the light in his eyes, half his freckles, and the unwavering smile that used to shine so bright. Katsuki can see right through his facade. He’s not the same, and neither is she. The distance between them is electric, frustrating, and too confusing to unravel. She doesn’t even know what to call what she feels—for herself, for him, or for the shadow of what they once were.
This is the story of how Katsuki Bakugou learns that she is, and always has been, a girl.
