A Lost Creation

Father Figure Dabi! & Child Reader! Originally on Ao3. Dabi stumbles across Y/N climbing her way into a dumpster, starving after not eating for days, and living on the streets with no sign of parents to keep an eye on her. He takes her under his wing, refusing to let a child suffer through homelessness on their own. Not like he had. They work through life together, learning about each other, themselves and building their relationship more and more along the way. After all, it was his chance to offer a less-fortunate child happiness and safety he never received growing up. (A self-indulgent fic with multiple chapters for me to work through some of my own life events, except with a decent parental figure.)
