Summary

Izuku tried to be a happy, kind person. He helped his classmates with their homework, he had movie nights with his friends, he said please and thank you and never used the last of anything in the kitchen.
Yet, despite all that, he found himself struggling. The pain of his scars dragged him down as the people around him climbed higher and higher and he was left scrambling to catch up. Every day the weight of his failures, his inadequacy, crushed him, and he was afraid of what would happen when he finally broke beneath it.

Summary

I once had a sweet little doll, dears,

The prettiest doll in the world;

Her cheeks were so red and so white, dears,

And her hair was so charmingly curled.

But I lost my poor little doll, dears,

As I played on the heath one day;

And I cried for her more than a week, dears,

But I never could find where she lay.

The Lost Doll, Charles Kinsley

Summary

The man lying in front of her looks like Six. Almost exactly like him, actually. But there are hairline differences that she's only really seeing now that he's close. He's big, but not particularly muscular. He's wearing a shirt with Snoopy on it. When she checks his mostly bare arms, she finds none of the scars or tattoos she made a careful study of during the few days she knew him.

She also realizes where she knows the divets on his nose from; her uncle has the exact same thing when he takes his reading glasses off and kisses her head goodnight.

He's not Six. She has no idea who this is.

"What the fuck." Claire whispers.

Summary

I’ll figure something out. Something else. I have the best lab in the world (or, well, the best lab ever made on Earth), I have all the reference materials a guy could want, I am smart and I have a very smart friend who is very dedicated to keeping me alive. I’ll be alright. I’ll find a way. I’ll—

“If you awake,” Rocky says suddenly, startling me again. “You say ‘if you awake’. There is another option, question?”

…Have I mentioned that he is very smart?

Sometimes it’s not a good thing!
Or: going into a coma on the way to Erid might be Grace's best shot at survival. No one on the ship likes the idea.

Summary

On the journey to Erid, Grace and Rocky discuss their respective alien biologies and Rocky learns that a lot of humans don't make it to the average 80 year life expectancy.

Years later, it looks like Rocky is going to learn that lesson again in a more personal way, but not if he has anything to say about it.

Feat: Grace being susceptible to medical misconceptions aka being a little dumb about human medical science (he’s not that kind of doctor, okay?), old man Grace ignoring pain and injury because he’s used to it, worried Rocky, and a peek at daily life on Erid
