Since I'm on here, a quick note:
I was originally hoping to get back to updating this month and finish the current section by the end of the year but I'm going to take a longer break for a couple of reasons.
1) It's angst hours in the the fic right now and I don't feel like immersing myself in that during the holidays.
2) I have a few other (hopefully) short fics that I want to finish before the end of the year that are somewhat time-sensitive.
Don't worry, there's still much more to the story that I'm planning to tell. See you after (the new year). 🫶
#i'll tentatively say mid-january but i have a couple of other things planned around that time so i can't promise a specific date#sya updates

SYA Ch. 51 Extended Notes
Notes for "See You After" Chapter 51: Aug 18-21 Recent News, Class A Group Chat, Katsuki's Texts
First off, if you’re following this in real time, sorry for the long delay!
This chapter ended up being the longest so far, with a lot going on. Most of it is self-explanatory, but here are a few thoughts I wanted to share.
Originally, the Daily Mail part of this chapter was supposed to take place about a month earlier in-universe, but there were other things to explore, so I ended up pushing it back.
I think it did work out better for the way I wanted to tell the story, but the fact that the canon epilogue was happening while I was editing and adding some additional sections for this chapter was...weird. (Honestly, that's probably one reason this chapter was delayed for so long. The other reason is that real life has been busy.)
While there are a few things that ended up being canon in the manga that I had already decided would happen in the universe of this fic, there are other things in the canon epilogue that I find frustrating and will continue to ignore.
(Though there is one specific detail from the epilogue that will be referenced later.)
Other random things that I asked myself while editing:
Why isn't Shouto on the list of trending topics? He probably is on the list, just a bit further down. I only included 5 main topics because 10 was too many. The in-universe explanation is that there were already a lot of articles about the Todoroki family previously so it's not something people are suddenly searching more than usual, unlike the other kids. But another reason is that, as the writer, I didn't see the point of making Shouto deal with that again in this chapter.
Why is Shouto's name still "Half and Half" in Katsuki's phone? Because Katsuki isn't ready to change it yet. It'll happen eventually.
Touya? Yes, Touya. That section was a last minute addition because I wanted a better transition into the next part of the story. Sorry for the semi-cliffhanger.
Anyway, this wasn't supposed to be a fix-it fic, but in some ways, I’m starting to think it might count as one.
Also, now that the in-fic dates have caught up to real-time, I wonder if I can make the dates continue to align (though the days of the week will be off because I based them on the 2023 calendar).
#no promises on that last bit but i really want to finish by the end of this year for my own sake#sya extended notes#sya: no one told us#see you after fic

See You After - notes on canon divergence
I decided to make this post after ch 422 of the manga because even though I stopped trying to keep this fic canon-compliant a long time ago, recent events in canon are so far from what I decided on for the universe of "See You After" that I felt the need to make an easy reference guide.
⚠️spoilers for canon endgame⚠️
Basically, this fic is canon-compliant until ch. 404, with the main relevant points being:
Shouto and his family save Touya. While I like the idea that he would rejoin the battle later if it was done well, for the purposes of this fic, his last action in the war was saving Touya in Ch. 390. No, it's not very satisfying, but that's the headspace I was in when I started writing this fic. (My first notes for this were written two days after 390 was released.)
Katsuki wakes up in time to save All Might, but Edgeshot does not survive as a noodle/worm. After everything is over, Katsuki has to deal with the guilt of learning what was sacrificed for him to survive. At the time when I was writing Part I (Hospital Letters), I assumed that he would wake up and do something big before the end of the battle. After his return in canon, I left it open to interpretation as to whether he does anything after saving All Might, but the canon endgame beyond that point can be ignored for this fic.
Izuku saves Shigaraki/Shimura and loses OFA in the process. How? Idk. Use your imagination. Izuku's canon endgame has little relevance in this fic. I love him but he's not the main focus here.
All of the villains (except AFO) survive. This includes Touya, Toga, Shigaraki, and Kurogiri/Shirakumo. They are all alive in the universe of SYA and in the process of (physically) recovering. Truly saving them, however, is a longer process. (The only one that's really relevant in SYA is Touya, but it's important to me that the others survive as well.)
Also, it's not that I have anything against the big Class 1A teamup at the end (it's something I was really looking forward to originally), it just didn't fit with a lot of what I had planned for the fic so I'm ignoring it for the most part.
Last updated 05/26/2024 (following manga ch 422, SYA ch 49)

SYA Ch. 49 Extended Notes
Notes for "See You After" Chapter 49: Aug 10-15: Recent News Articles, Aizawa’s Home Visit Notes
If you follow my main account, it's not a secret that I've been frustrated with a lot of things that have happened in the canon endgame. I'm not going to go into that here, but I did add a few things to this chapter specifically because I wanted to make it very clear where this fic diverges from canon. I made a separate post with the significant points of canon-divergence that are most relevant.
Additional commentary on things in this chapter (Aizawa's home visit notes and the various news articles) below the cut:
Aizawa's texts & home visit notes
This was a nice way to include an external POV, which I thought was important because although Shouto and Katsuki are both getting better, they're definitely not "fine" as they keep insisting.
I wasn't originally going to include Izuku's conference notes, since he's not the main focus of this story. However, after the recent manga chapters, I felt the need to make it clear what happened to him in the universe of this fic, since I previously kept it more ambiguous in case I felt like following canon. This felt like a good way to do it without writing an annoyingly long author's note.
Again, not going too deep into Aizawa/Rooftop squad lore in this fic, but in my head, Shirakumo is alive (in some capacity). Midnight's death was also never properly explored, which is a shame after their interactions in Vigilantes, and I think Aizawa and Present Mic would still be coming to terms with that loss.
The izakaya that Aizawa and Mic visit is a reference to "Midnight Diner" (yes, I know they're there before midnight but shhh...) If you're into slice of life, character-driven shows that feature food, I highly recommend it.
Article Notes:
Article 1: Surge in travel expected for this year's Obon season
Not sure why, but at some point, I got stuck on the idea of what Obon would be like in the aftermath of a war. It's more of a general worldbuilding thing than something that's super important to the plot, but it is a major cultural event, and it does come up in a couple of conversations, so I decided to include an article about it.
Article 2: The failings of foreign aid groups
Yes, this is a jab at that pointless panel of the US President in ch 422 of the manga. But also, there's unfortunately a lot of similarities to the real world, in which foreign aid arrives far too late for the people who need it most. The structure of this article was based off of a real news article I read recently with a similar sentiment.
Article 3: HPSC under criticism for involvement of underage students in the war
I mean...at some point, we have to address the fact that they fought in a war despite being literal children, right? At the same time, that comment at the end of the previous article about how they sort of had to use the hero students because they were out of options, is a valid point (in fiction obviously, not in real life).
Article 4: Has Hawks flown the coop?
Puns aside, I find Hawks' canon storyline fascinating, and I think there are a lot of interesting things to explore with him in regards to hero society. That's all I'll say for now.
Other Daily Mail article titles:
More than it seams? (Untangling the threads of Best Jeanist and Edgeshot’s friendship)
10 popular theories about All Might: Were any of them true?
History’s Greatest Villain or victim of a broken system: Who is Shigaraki Tomura?
Heroes with ‘villainous’ quirks and how they use them for good
Equity or Unfair Advantage: to what extent should support items be allowed in hero training?
Mostly, these were just a way for me to point out some of the "hot topics" in the media and maybe add a little worldbuilding.
I wanted to mention something about Edgeshot, since his death is something that's still on Katsuki's mind with the impending return to Best Jeanist's agency for his work study (also, the bad fabric related puns 😅 sorry, not sorry)
The Shigaraki article is meant to be titled similarly to the one about Toga that was in Ch. 38 (I'd imagine they did some speculation pieces on each of the main villains)
The article about equity and support items ties into the idea of quirkless heroes. Given the real life arguments about equity being unfair that some people with privilege like to make, it's something that would likely come up in regards to support items, which are essentially "accommodations" for heroes.

SYA Ch. 47 Extended Notes
Notes for "See You After" Chapter 47: Aug 7-9: Katsuki - Recent Texts, Journal, Letter to Shouto
First off, I wasn't expecting so many of these little pieces to be in this chapter, but I like how the puzzle of this part of the story is coming together.
Second, I had a little too much fun with the images I made for this chapter.


This isn't so much an informative note, as it is my random thoughts about things in the chapter:
I really want good homemade tonkotsu ramen after having Katsuki make it. I don't have the patience to do it myself, but here's a recipe that looks pretty good if anyone wants to try😅
The circle exercise is similar to something I've done before personally, but I was reminded of it when I read Stephanie Foo's memoir, "What My Bones Know," earlier this year. (It's an excellent book, but has some pretty major trigger warnings)
Sometimes I feel like I'm just telling these characters things I wish people had told me when I was their age. Not that I went through anything nearly as traumatic as they did, but like that quote Hound Dog sent Katsuki says, trauma isn't a competition.
I once made a list of stupid affirmations that I was annoyed by and I feel like Katsuki would do something similar
Apparently, I enjoy having other characters notice and comment on Shouto & Katsuki's developing relationship.
Another chapter where the fact that this fic stopped being canon a while ago becomes relevant again.

See You After - Part II: Rebuilding the bridges that were burned
Chapter 45 of "See You After" is posted

This chapter concludes Part II: "Rebuilding the bridges that were burned".
Part III: "No one told us (that winning the war would be the easy part)" begins in Chapter 46.
Some of my personal favorite parts to write in Part II were:
Koi pond scene (Ch. 28)
"Calm" app text thread (Ch. 33)
Conversations about identity and names (Ch. 35, 36, 39, 40)
Rei & Shouto scene (Ch. 39)
Bakusquad birthdays text thread (Ch. 42)
Unsent Letter (Ch. 44)
I also had way too much fun writing the news articles (which appear in Ch. 26, 38, 43, 45)
Preview of things to come in Part III:
The long road to recovery (as individuals and as a society)
The downside of being known (Hero Daily News returns)
Supportive friends, Class 1A interactions (and speculations)
Training (searching for purpose, re-learning how to fly)
The highs and lows of being a real family
Touya
Questions about what it means to be a hero
As I mentioned last time, the "slow burn" tag is there for a reason, but there will be lots of moments between Shouto and Katsuki in letters, texts, and other conversations.
Another thing to keep in mind: healing isn't linear.

SYA Extended Notes Ch. 45
Notes for "See You After"
Chapter 45: July 27-Aug 6: Hero News Network, Shouto's Texts
The texts in this chapter were a last minute addition that more than doubled the chapter's wordcount. Some of it was supposed to be in a later chapter but I moved things around because I didn't want another chapter with only news articles so close to the previous one.
Of course, I do have notes on the articles again if anyone is interested. Or, if you're just here for additional context about Touya, skip to the very end of this post.
Articles notes
Article 1: UA to hold official graduation ceremony at newly-restored campus location
BNHA 359: Place of Learning
Tamaki's comment about wanting a graduation ceremony might seem like a small thing, but I really liked this small detail in the manga, which showed that even though they're fighting a war, they're still kids. Graduation is a huge milestone, one that they've been working toward for their whole lives, and it's sad that they had that taken away from them. (Honestly reminded me of the kids I worked with in 2020/2021 who didn't get their graduation or the other typical senior year experiences)
I like the idea of them getting to have that celebration after the fact, which would also be a sign that the world is starting to move forward again.
Article 2: Okuto Island Aquarium receives green light for rebuilding
BNHA 345: Division & 347: Inflation
The amount of rebuilding that would need to take place after the war is kind of hard to imagine, but I like to think that once the essential repairs are mostly completed, people would see the value in rebuilding a place that's not essential, but that brings people joy.
I like the idea that the civilians would step up to help as well instead of putting all of the responsibility on the heroes, as they've done in the past.
(plus, Shouto and Katsuki need somewhere to go for their penguin date when Shouto gets home)
Article 3: Is there a future for quirkless heroes?
(warning: spoilers up to manga ch. 416 below)
This article was longer than I intended, but there were a bunch of things that I decided I needed to include after recent chapters, especially Izuku ending up quirkless.
I've liked this theory for a while because it makes sense thematically, and now that the manga is actually going for it (unless HK pulls some bs out of nowhere), I decided to add it since it works really well with the upcoming section. I don't feel like writing a whole meta on this right now but here's some relevant canon scenes:
BNHA 1: Izuku Midoriya: Origin, 412: History's Maddest Hero
It would be interesting to see how the public reacts to the idea of quirkless heroes after the war, and I like the idea of Izuku continuing to be a hero with support gear and a shifting emphasis on teamwork rather than individuals with all-powerful abilities,
BNHA 386: I am here
However, I think there would definitely be concerns about making something like All Might's mech suit a go-to solution for a large number of heroes.
I think it would be interesting to see society grapple with the balance between providing support items to allow more people to become heroes, while also shifting away from the current hero system toward seeing the value of everyday acts of heroism from ordinary civilians that the story has been trying to point out in the background during the current arc.
BNHA 96: Home Visits, 340: the story of how we all became heroes pt. 3
I also think it would be interesting to see how the world continues to react to the heroes who lost their quirks. We've already seen that Ragdoll was still able to help even after she lost her quirk, and now that Hawks has lost his as well, he'll need to figure out how he's going to move forward (I guess he is actually making an appearance in this fic after all)
410: Farewell, All For One, 416: Wrench it open, Midoriya Izuku
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I like that quirks can't be returned so easily and that rewind can't be used to fix everything. But I'd imagine that some people wouldn't accept that so easily and would try to find a way to return everything to the status quo. And we already know the HPSC isn't above using children with useful quirks for the "greater good".
Article 4: Debate over Villains' Fate Continues
I'm not going to say much about this one other than that the fate of the villains an ongoing uncertainty in at this point in the narrative. Even though Shouto, Izuku and Ochako "saved" them, I can't imagine that the rest of society would be as ready to forgive. (for the purposes of this fic I'm assuming they all live, obviously)
Shouto's texts with his friends
This was a nice chance to add some commentary/context on the articles and what's happening in the world, and to show the kids supporting each other.
The first set of texts on 7/27 are a couple of days after the Todofam scene in Ch. 39, which is why Shouto wasn’t being super active in the group chat the previous week, as Izuku pointed out in their text conversation. Also, he didn’t answer the first group chat because he was at his therapy appointment (referenced in the text thread with Katsuki in Ch. 41)
The second set of texts (about game night) are after Shouto’s unsent letter in Ch. 44, so he’s doing a little better at that point.
I really enjoyed writing Shouto's second conversation with Izuku in particular. (Izuku’s nervous rambling was fun to write.)
Notice of Prisoner Transfer
Y'all knew this was coming, right? Can't have a Todofam healing subplot without adding fuel to the fire.
We'll be seeing more of Touya in Part III 😉
Also, the official reasoning for having him on quirk suppressants is mostly an excuse to give everyone peace of mind, knowing that he can't use his quirk. Way back in in Chapter 9, the article about quirk suppressants says that they're only approved for medical use and forcing prisoners to take a relatively new drug against their will would be questionable from an ethics standpoint, but I'm sure the prisons would find ways around that in the case of villains with certain quirks.

SYA Extended Notes Ch. 39-44
Or: Acceptance and healing - some thoughts on Shouto's post-war journey
Notes for "See You After" Chapter 44: August 2: Shouto's Journal - Unsent Letter
I can’t forget what happened but maybe someday I’ll be able to forgive you so that I can put all of it behind me and move on. I don’t know what that means for us or for our family, but I hope that someday I’ll be able to show you that I’m proud of who I’ve become in spite of everything you did.
I originally started typing this up to post with chapter 39 but decided to wait until after this chapter, and Shouto's unsent letter, to share my thoughts on how I imagine he and his family might begin to navigate the healing process.
In essence, I think that a post-war arc for Shouto involves him taking the time to process the things he went through and to decide for himself what he wants to do going forward.
This fic inevitably contains my personal headcanons of what Shouto's healing journey might involve after the war ends. Of course, there are as many interpretations of what "should" happen next as there are readers, but these are a few of my thoughts in relation to "See You After" so far.
Acceptance is the first step
I talked a bit about this in the extended notes for Chapters 10-11, but up until this point, I really don't think Shouto saw what Endeavor did to him as abuse. Even if he knew it on an intellectual level, he probably didn't want to accept it for various reasons. Although he did acknowledge that what his father did to his mom was abuse, when he expresses his anger toward his father, it's always framed around what he did to his mom (and later Touya).
BNHA 192: The Todoroki Family & 249: The Hellish Todoroki Family
One of those reasons probably has something to do with the way Touya revealed Endeavor's abuse of his family, specifically Shouto, very publicly and out of spite toward their father.
BNHA 291: Thanks for Going Strong
Shouto never had a say in the matter and Touya didn't do him any favors. Rather than viewing him with sympathy for being a victim, the public views him with suspicion because of his blood ties to a mass murderer and an abuser. Of course, that's not fair, but that's the cultural context of the society they're living in.
BNHA 325: The Bonds of One for All & BNHA 327: Rest
Guilt, Blame, and Responsibility
Shouto has been the one carrying the burden of his father's mistakes for his entire life, but even moreso since Touya reappeared. Unlike Touya, he blames his father completely, but I don't think Touya is entirely wrong when he says that Rei is guilty too. She's a victim, of course, and most of it was beyond her control, but she agreed to the marriage, knowing what it was. Moreover, it is a parent's responsibility to take care of their children, and she wasn't able to do that. Even though it wasn't her intention and Shouto refuses to blame her for hurting him, there's still a lot to unpack and a lot of trust that needs to be rebuilt.
BNHA 249: The Hellish Todoroki Family & BNHA 302: The wrong way to put out a fire, part 2
Natsuo and Fuyumi's guilt about not being able to do anything was realistic and understandable, but they were also children and it wasn't their responsibility to fix everything, which makes their experiences heartbreaking in a different way. There's a lot for all of them to reconcile on their own and as a family.
Rei showing up at the hospital and meeting Endeavor face to face again took a great deal of courage, and I don't think we can fault her for the things she says. Although it shouldn't be any of the children's responsibility, they do all have to deal with the fallout, which I think was the point she was trying to make here. But once again, the burden fell on Shouto to be their family's hero.
Shouto believes that he has to be strong because he's a hero. And while that's admirable, that mindset is part of the larger problem. So far in canon, we've mostly seen Shouto protecting his mom, not the other way around. And that's part of his character, his foundation as a hero - the way he had the instinct to protect when he was just a child, and his decision to take the first step after the sports festival to reach out and save her.
But it still kills me that their reunion scene in the hospital post PLF war was skipped over just so there could be a big reveal when the family went to confront Enji.


BNHA 298: Sounds of Collapse & BNHA 300: The Hellish Todoroki Family, Part 2
In this scene, Shouto had his hand on Rei's back to support her, meanwhile not once do we see him get a hug or any comforting touch from any of the people who should be there to support him. (A lot of Chapter 39 of "See You After" came from my desire for just that)
Identity and the choice to become a hero
BNHA 39: Todoroki Shouto: Origin
Shouto's fight with Izuku during the sports festival was the start of him reclaiming his identity as his own person, separate from his father, and reaffirming his desire to become a hero on his own terms. Still, the fact that he never really had the choice to try to be anything else is something to consider, especially as we see the rest of the world question the role of heroes and the overall system.
Names are important
BNHA 45: Time to pick some names (+anime ep. 26)
I really love the symbolism of Shouto's hero name. By using his real name, he's essentially refusing to separate his identity as a hero from who he is as a person, which is important because of how he makes a clear distinction between Endeavor (the hero) and Enji (the father). But something that's often lost in translation is Shouto's choice to use the phonetic spelling: ショート instead of the kanji characters: 焦凍 (meaning to burn and to freeze), which I've always interpreted as a statement of his desire to exist as an individual beyond the context of his quirks.
It was hard to convey in this fic because I'm obviously writing it in English, but I wanted to make it clear that he signed the unsent letter as ショート because of what it symbolizes.
I feel like Shouto would probably have a complicated relationship with his given name because Endeavor valued him solely for his quirk. Meanwhile, "Todoroki" is a constant reminder of his family's legacy in the aftermath of Touya's broadcast.
I like to think that even before their conversation during the long phone call at the end of chapter 39, Katsuki understood this on some level. That's why in this fic, even though he rotates through a variety of nicknames (in their earlier letters, he uses a different one each time), he rarely calls Shouto by his last name, unless he's trying to make a point (like in his letter in Chapter 11 and the phone call in Chapter 19).
That's something I leaned into when I started writing the transition to them using each others' given names back during their text conversation in Chapter 36. (Originally, I thought it was going to happen quite a bit later in the story, but writing is a funny thing and characters sometimes have minds of their own.)

SYA Extended Notes Ch. 43
Notes for "See You After" Chapter 43: Recent News Articles: July 11-31
Wow, it's been a hot minute since I've done an actual "extended notes" post as opposed to just an update announcement. The main reason is that life has been busy but also, I want the story to speak for itself when it comes to Shouto's relationships with Katsuki and with his family. I might post some thoughts after Part II ends but I did want to add some commentary on the news articles in this chapter.
Honestly, writing/editing these articles gave me flashbacks to 2020 in regards to the uncertainty of school closures, as well as the amplified urgency of various social issues.
I have a lot of seemingly random articles in my draft document that will be inserted in future chapters, but I chose to include these here because they fit with the theme of bridging the gap between regular citizens and hero society. (reminder: the title of Part II is "Rebuilding the bridges that were burned".)
Canon references and my commentary relating to the individual articles (a.k.a. me overanalyzing the societal problems of a fictional world) below the cut:
Article 1: Citizens petition for access to specialized quirk training
BNHA Ch. 1 - Midoriya Izuku: Origin
Beyond the narrative function of making the profession of "hero" more important, the laws preventing ordinary citizens from using their quirks don't make a lot of sense. Instead of being encouraged find ways to use their unique quirks to benefit society, people are required by law to suppress their quirks unless they become heroes.
Kids are likewise prohibited from using their quirks in schools, and while there are later references to the quirk counseling system, there was never anything that indicated that kids were taught how to use their quirk safely and effectively. If citizens are indeed inspired to step up and take action instead of leaving everything to the heroes, it would make sense that they would also fight for the right to be allowed to use their quirks.
Article 2: Opinion: Heteromorph discrimination is everyone's problem
BNHA Ch. 371 - Together with Shouji & 372 - Naked
The heteromorph plotline was a bit rushed in the manga, but I thought it was extremely important because of the obvious references to racial prejudices that exist in the real world.
Also, the "Heroes who look like villains" ranking is sometimes seen as funny because Endeavor is number one on that list, but I think the list itself is super problematic. Gang Orca is confirmed as Number 3, presumably just because of his looks, so I'd imagine that many of the others on that list are heroes with heteromorph quirks.
Article 3 - Medical: Quirk Awakenings Explained
BNHA: Ch. 394 - Urarako Ochako vs. Toga Himiko
Yeah, I am not even going to attempt to explain the science of quirk awakenings. 😂 However, I included this article here to show that it's something people are talking about. It's also a hint that people are wondering about the young heroes got quirk awakenings during the war and that there are rumors about them even if legitimate news sources are respecting their privacy at the moment.
Article 4: Ministry of Education announces delay in school reopenings
This article was longer than I originally planned but I decided not to cut it because it includes several key points:
The fact that school won't fully resume yet means that Shouto and his family will have time to deal with things before they need to go home. (more on that in Part III)
There is still a lot of fallout and destruction from the war that needs to be dealt with that would affect the logistics of re-opening schools.
Despite the sentiment that heroes shouldn't be placed on a stage and that citizens can and should step up and take action, there would certainly still be many people, like the parent quoted in the article, who think that heroes should deal with their problems.
Acknowledging that the kids (including all of the hero students) need proper support, and that the current quirk counseling system is flawed is the first step toward actual change (which is desperately needed).
In regards to the brief Fuyumi POV, I don't know how realistic it would be for her to be able to take an extended leave of absence, but she's already given up so much to take care of her family, so I decided to give her a supportive principal.

If I killed your dad, do you think I could get away with it?
You should see all the bullshit memes Dunceface sent to our group chat today.

Good night, Katsuki.
