Learning How to Live Again (Am I Truly Worth It?) Podfic

Summary:

Nstlgia's summary: Izuku was on his last thread; bullied by his best friend, neglected by his mother, quirkless in a heavily bigoted society, and told by his idol that he could never be a hero.

So, he gave himself an ultimatum: if nothing got better in a year, he would end his life.

However, if he somehow "accidentally" died during his late night clandestine activities, he wouldn't be too upset.

A certain underground hero gets in the way of his plans, but is it enough to keep him alive?

Chapter 1

Notes:

Nstlgia's notes: Who said there were too many vigilante izuku & dadzawa fics? (a lot of people, probably, but oh well.)

General TWs for this fic include: suicidal thoughts and ideation, self-harm, dark/depressing thoughts, eating disorder, and some canonical violence. If there's any more I will add them as necessary. tags will be updated as story progresses.

I am projecting my thoughts and feelings onto Izuku for the most part :p so headsup for that. this is something for me to kind of use as a coping mechanism (prob not healthy) because I've been in a pretty bad place lately.

enjoy the fic :)

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Notes:

Nstlgia's notes: I have kind of thrown you all into the middle of the plot lol so if things are confusing, that is (most likely) intentional. things will be explained/revealed as we go on (like how and why izuku became a vigilante and why eraserhead is not actively trying to arrest him).

PS I'm terrible at names so if you have vigilante name ideas feel free to leave them
