I REALLY REALY LILE THIS!

You did an amazing way of describing what bakugo is going through, because realy the manga completely brushes over it and I love that you still kept him so in character throughout it. He's mad at himself for being so affected and it spills over to others and hurts them but he's always been volatile and I love that his mother is just so similar, yet knows how to bring him back. The family dynamic made me smile so much and how his parents just absolutely accepted him is great.

Really loved this, thank you for writing it!

Dude can I just say I absolutely love this? Like, there's so much discourse around Mitsuki, where she's either the BEST MOM EVER or she's an abusive monster, and you really found this perfect balance of someone who struggles a LOT with her kid and makes a lot of mistakes with him but still cares and is trying to do the right thing for him. And Masaru is usually portrayed as being pretty much totally ineffectual, and you turned him into this real /counterbalance/ in the family that is really needed without ruining what little personality we've seen of him in canon.

This is all to say, you really captured how I imagined the Bakugo family to be in private pretty perfectly! I'm writing as Katsuki with a friend for a roleplay right now, and I'm honestly referring to this fic as inspiration for scenes with his family so--thank you so much for this. =D
