    Summary

    “Quite a fright for sun-enjoyers at Cloudbreak near Fiji yesterday. One of the surfers spotted an incredibly large shark and alerted the lifeguards, who immediately pulled all surfers from the water and called the coastguard.

    After a short investigation, it was concluded that the shark, a Great White named Ghost, was going to be around for a while. Though not seen as a threat since Ghost has never attacked humans, the lifeguards have not opened the beach for surfers or swimmers.

    At this moment, sunbathing is allowed, but surfing is only allowed with explicit clearance from the coastguard, who placed a tracker on Ghost to locate him at all times. The coastguard is ecstatic to have a tracker on the shark since Ghost is a very elusive animal and typically doesn’t show himself in crowded places.

    Ghost is 24 feet long and thought to be around 30 years of age.”

     

    Or,

    Soap is a surfer, Ghost is a shark. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Dabi was a lot of things, but unfeeling wasn't one of them. He'd always cared far too much for his own good, and it'd gotten him burned time and time again. So, by the time that he became known as Dabi, he had put on an uncaring mask. Anyone that he cared about could and would be used against him, and Dabi was so very tired of being hurt.

    He was also tired of fighting, but he knew that his fight was far from over. Dabi couldn't stop fighting until his siblings were safe. He promised that he would protect them, and he'd continue to do so from beyond the grave. Dabi would fight so that no more heroes got away with abusing their power. He would fight so that no more children would go through what he and his siblings did.

    Dabi knew that the world didn't want to hear what he had to say, but he was no stranger to that. He'd target the root of their society's rot and sear it out, once and for all. He'd bring reform. He'd bring an end to a society run on child soldiers. He was willing to do whatever it took to protect these kids.

    Dabi was a lot of things, but a big brother was probably the most important of them all.

    Summary

    The day the commission assigned the infiltration of the LOV, Hawks saw it for what it was: a death sentence. Keigo wants to get out. He needs to get out, before he slips up, or worse, before he is no longer useful, because if they’ve given him a suicide mission... If he's useless... then they'll make him “disappear”, like the others.
    Hawks saw this assignment for what it was: An opportunity. He’s been going around in circles trying to find a way to escape, and everything leads to the same thing: recalibration training at best, and a slow death at the hands of the commission at worst. They are not expecting him to survive, he just needs to play that to his favor. He has never given the Commission a reason to doubt his loyalties, he can’t afford to unless he knows he’ll come out on the other side. So until then, he'll keep pretending everything is fine, that the food he eats doesn't taste like saw dust, that everything isn't dull around him and that he isn't so achingly lonely that he would do just about anything to feel like he belonged.
