In Taisho era Japan, Katsuki Bakugo has spent his entire life fighting. After losing his sick father and being left with nothing but anger, guilt, and a reputation as a violent criminal, he never expected anyone to offer him a second chance. Then Shota Aizawa, the owner of a small martial arts dojo, takes him in with one condition: Katsuki will train under him and help care for his chronically ill daughter, Y/N. What begins as an obligation slowly becomes something Katsuki never knew he needed—a home. Between long days of training, a growing group of troublemaking students, rival dojos, and quiet evenings spent caring for Y/N, Katsuki begins to discover that strength isn’t only about knowing how to fight. Sometimes, it’s knowing when to be gentle. And somewhere along the way, the girl he was supposed to take care of becomes the person he can’t imagine living without. ** Inspired by Hakuji and Koyuki’s backstory from Demon Slayer, reimagined as a Taishō-era Bakugo x Y/N story.
