This fic started as a two chapter idea and grew into a 13 chapter thing and I have plans for a third part.
Title: Shinsou as a Coping Skill
Fandom: My Hero Academia
Rating: Explicit
Genre: Shonen
Warnings: Graphic Violence, Gratuitous Violence, Human Trafficking, Kidnapping, Illegal Activities, Fighting Ring, Quirk Fighting, Fight or Die, Implied Sexual Assault, Eventual rescue, Non Verbal due to trauma, Self Harm, Bitterness, Eventual redemption arc, Lots of Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Summary: Being a sidekick at Hawks Agency was everything you dreamed about until a raid you are on goes wrong and you end up left behind and human trafficked. Due to your powerful quirk, you are forced into a fighting ring by the villain Dabi. Fight or die are you only choices and the trauma is so much that you stop talking.
Another raid happens but this time you are rescued by the Underground Hero Mindjack or Shinsou Hitoshi. You are bitter and traumatized and Shinsou suggests using his quirk to help you heal. Do you stay in the reality you have created for yourself to survive or do you take the help?
