Ochako has had a crush on her best friend’s older brother for just about as long as she can remember, a crush that started the very first time she saw him. But he’s older and hotter and experienced and there’s no way that he would ever look at someone like her.

Touya has had a thing for his little brother's girlfriend for longer than he would like to admit. Maybe it was revenge on the golden son of the Todoroki family, maybe it was just because he wanted something for himself for a change, he didn’t know.

But when she looks at him with those wide brown eyes, catching him lighting a candle for the birthday that everyone else in the house seems to have forgotten, he can’t remember why he ever resisted her.

Uraraka would have never said she was the kind of woman who would sleep with a villain. Or the kind who would have sex in dirtied alleyways only moments away from being discovered.

But when Dabi corners her on a sweep and detain mission she finds herself doing both, and wanting more.

When Uraraka falls through a hole into a network of caves and finds herself trapped with a dangerous villain she makes a snap decision that changes her life forever.

She didn't expect to find herself curious about the man she and her team had been sent to capture, and she definitely didn't expect to fall in love with him.

Uraraka Ochako has worked her whole life to become one of the foremost marine biologists in the world, but she has her sights set on something bigger than the accolades that the explored waters of their oceans can bring.

Or perhaps more accurately, something deeper.

After more than a decade of research and some help from lead engineer Hatsune Mei, she is finally ready to dive, deeper than any human researcher has ever been able to go before, to a dangerous mission into the deep dark places where the real secrets of their world hide.

What she finds there will change her life forever, but not in any of the ways that she expected.
