Hibito's Quirk Manifests
Vocal Fry: Speaking causes anyone within earshot to feel immense pain.
Only Hibito's father was in range when it manifested - he spent 2 weeks in the hospital recovering. His mother took him to a specialist to attempt to control his Quirk, but Hibito refused to speak so they never got far.
The whole family learned JSL so Hibito could communicate. They're functionally fluent by August and only improve from there. -
Deku starts plans for his own Agency
He's very excited to open one with Shouto and talks about it with him often.
Agency Rift begins to develop because Shouto distances himself from these discussions. He does not want to run an agency, but he doesn't want to upset Izuku by telling him this. -

Shouto begins contemplating Retirement
-
Period: to
Retirement Rift
Shouto comes to terms with wanting to retire, and what that might mean for his relationship with Izuku (he's afraid they won't have a reason to stay together if they don't have Hero Work in common). He increasingly isolates himself. Many of their Rifts during this time are a byproduct of this main issue. -
Deku Nominated as the Hero to Watch
Deku gets named as the Hero to Watch at the year's Hero Awards, which is a huge deal. He gets to accept it and make a speech and everything. Shouto helps him prepare and is supportive, but he's having a lot of bad feelings internally. He's beginning to worry all he and Deku have in common is Hero Work, so what will he happen if he actually retires, like he so wants to? -

Award Ceremony Rift

Hottest Hero Couples List Published
IzuOcha and ShoMomo are both incorrectly included as couples. (HUGE mistake, as the list is only supposed to include confirmed, public relationships). Both non-couples have to have press releases denying their relationships.
Shouto begins intensely isolating himself after - starts to convince himself Deku is going to leave him for Ochaco, especially once he retires and they have nothing in common anymore. Still supporting Deku, but not engaging much with him.
Deku is just very confused. -
Period: to
Angel's Potential Spouse Hunter Plot
Because TodoDekuRaka and KiriBaku aren't suffering enough at this point. -
Award Ceremony Argument
Shouto does not attend the Award Ceremony with Deku, and they have a huge argument when he comes home. Shouto brings Ochaco into the argument and makes his issues about his loneliness and insecurities about Deku wanting to be with Ochaco (it's much more about Retirement, but he's still too scared they won't last after he retires and won't bring it up with Deku).
Bad blow up - Deku probably spends the night with Ochaco. Shouto calls Momo and she comes over for the night. Leaves when Deku returns. -
Award Ceremony Make-Up
Ochaco and Momo team up to make sure the boys finally talk to each other. Shouto keeps the problem about his own loneliness and insecurities about Deku leaving him for Ochaco.
They decide to move in with each other at the end of this talk, so they have more time to see each other. Both of them are super excited about this idea. -
TodoDeku get an Apartment Together
-
Agency Argument

Deku's Terrible Interview
Deku has an interview where his not-so-dead feelings for Ochaco are VERY apparent. The Internet goes wild, the Hottest Hero Couple article resurfaces, and talk of IzuOcha is EVERYWHERE.
TodoDeku have never really gone public. They keep PDA to a minimum, and they don't really talk about the relationship. It's common knowledge that they live together, and most Heroes they work with know that they're a couple.
The Internet is very convinced that IzuOcha have been a secret Item since UA. -
Drunk!Shouto Visits Ochaco
Confesses ALL of his insecurities to her. He's pretty sure Deku has always loved her more than him, and that they'll never last once he retires, but he wants to make sure Ochaco knows he doesn't blame her. He doesn't want to lose her friendship, too.
Ochaco confesses that she broke up with Deku bc it was obvious how much he loved Shouto. She thinks he's wrong.
Shouto just think the whole situation sucks, but it gets him thinknig. -
Retirement Resolution / Polyship QA #1 (TD)
Deku picked Shouto up from Ochaco's, tried to get him to talk, but Shouto insisted he was tired and needed to think. He distances himself for a week (Deku goes absolutely INSANE), to the point that he has to enlist Ochaco's help once he's ready to talk. She sends him home early.
Shouto comes clean about wanting to retire and worrying that Deku will leave him once he does. But he can't do it anymore. Deku reassures him he loves Shouto, Pro Hero or not.
Shouto asks if Deku knows what polyamory is. -
Polyship QA #2 (TDO)
Shouto and Izuku have been discussing polyamory and how it would work. Shouto thinks it'll be easy if it's with Ochaco - she's always been a balance in their lives. Shouto doesn't want to date her.
After about a week, they approach Ochaco about it. Very awkwardly.
Ochaco is shocked. She's very worried that this is something Izuku is forcing on Shouto, that Shouto doesn't think he's enough for Deku and is doing this to keep at least a small part of him. She needs time to think. -
Polyship QA #3 (TO)
After about a week, Ochaco has lunch with Shouto. She asks for his side, for what he wants from this. He tells her it was his idea, that he's fully on board, that he thinks they'll all be happier this way. That if Deku had to have feelings for anyone else besides him, he's glad it's her. He thinks this will be better than both of them deciding who Deku loves more for him.
Ochaco leaves with so much more to think about. -
Polyship QA #4 (DO)
Ochaco talks to Izuku in his office a couple weeks later, when they're both finishing paperwork late at night. She makes him swear that this isn't an issue with Shouto's asexuality, that he's not doing this because Shouto isn't enough for him. He reassures her it's not.
They talk about how his feelings for her never died - he just buried them for a while. He confesses he'd thought about polyamory before, but never thought Shouto would be okay with it. -

Shouto asks Ochaco if he can marry Izuku
Everything has been going so smoothly since they figured out their rules and how to communicate. They're all happier, their relationships are stronger - Shouto doesn't want to mess that up, so he assures her he doesn't need to if she's not ready for it, if it'll make things weird or hard for her. Also assures her he can divorce Deku if a wedding is important to her in the future, so long as he can keep his family name.
Ochaco asks for time to think about it. -
Friendship Rings
Ochaco tells Shouto she's okay if he proposes to Deku, so long as he lets her help with planning it. "I thought that was implied."
He also gives her a very nice ring, almost engagement level, as a symbol of his commitment to their friendship. She's become his closest friend, and he never wants their shared love of Izuku to overshadow that.
She tears up and drags him to the mall to buy him one, as well. She wears it on a necklace at all times, even under her Hero costume. Shouto does the same. -

Ochaco Moves in with TodoDeku
Ochaco originally wanted to give TodoDeku at least a few months to live together as a married couple before moving, but everything just works better with her around, so she moves in before the wedding happens.
TodoDeku made sure their house had a Master Bedroom (Deku's room) as well as three other rooms - one for Shouto, one for Ochaco, and an office. They wanted their own rooms for nights they don't want to "intrude" on the other couple. -
Hibito Visits 1st Potential Foster Family
He's never asked back after the first visit.

Pre-Engagement Ring, Part 1
Deku has a special night out with just Ochaco in the midst of wedding planning. He gives her a ring, and tells her that she and Shouto are it for him, and he knows that at this point. He pulls a necklace out of his shirt with Shouto's engagement ring and a second, distinct engagement ring. When she gets to that point, all she needs to do is give back his ring, and they'll figure out how to get married, and he'll give her her ring.
She wears Deku's band with Shouto's Friendship Ring from then on. -
Hibito's Parents Die
A villain specifically targets civillian housing, and Hibito's apartment building is the first to collapse. He and his mom were returning from grocery shopping, his dad was home.

His mom dies on the way to the hospital. Hibito develops claustrophobia.

Pregnancy Scare
Ochaco thinks she's pregnant, as she misses a period. She has Iida take her to the doctor to be sure, as she doesn't want to tell TodoDeku. She does NOT want to be pregnant, and luckily she isn't - just stress messing with her body from combination of Hero Work and Wedding Planning.
Iida is great about it, but Shouto catches them coming back. He can tell something's up but doesn't push.
Ochaco tells them a couple days later. They're both great about it, and she loves them for it. -

Shouto's Patrol Route Chages
By March, it's become such common knowledge that Shouto's patrol will end with an extra detour past Hibito's Group Home, that Momo just changes his route entirely - now he goes past the group home at the beginning and end of his Patrols.
He sees Hibito at LEAST every other day, so long as he isn't working a specific case or caught up in a villain battle (Hibito immediately checks the news if Shouto doesn't show up, to make sure he's okay. It's the one thing he'll fight other kids over). -
Children Discussions, Part I
Deku brings up that ever since Ochaco's pregnancy scare, he's been thinking about starting a family (especially since some of their friends have all started having kids). Knows Ochaco doesn't wanna have bio kids, but wants to know if they'd consider fostering/adopting.
Ochaco is 10,000% behind the idea, but Shouto is adamantly against it. He's too scared that he'll become Endeavor, or just be a bad parent in general.
IzuOcha decide to make it their mission to convince him to start a family. -
Shouto's Retirement is Announced
Hibito is devastated - he thinks this means he'll never see Shouto again. He deliberately misses Shouto's Patrol time 3 days in a row. On the 4th, Shouto is held up by a villain attack that turns into a case. A Sidekick tells Hibito that he might be held up for a while.
It's 2 weeks before Shouto can go back to his normal Patrol Route. He has a day off btwn end of case and seeing Hibito, and intends to see him, but there's a villain attack. The group home is destroyed. -
Hibito's Group Home is Destroyed
Villan attack by the group home the day Shouto goes to visit Hibito on his day off. Shouto jumps into help out of uniform, and once the situation is handled, he starts freaking out, trying to find Hibito. He's on the verge of a breakdown when someone confirms the Group Home was evacuated in time.
Momo is there, handling reporters, and she steps away to send him home. She also calls DekuRavity to make sure someone can go be with him. -

Search for Hibito
IzuOcha agree to help find Hibito, but the foster agency makes it hard (won't give info about any children to anyone who isn't Fostering).
Deku secretly signs up to foster Hibito in mid/late November, though the paperwork will take a while to process. He plans to spring the idea on Shouto as a Christmas present, if they haven't found Hibito by then.
For Christmas, Shouto tells IzuOcha he'll foster if they foster Hibito. He cries when Deku tells him he has a Meet&Greet set up already. -

First Meet & Greet for Hibito for a long time. He's not excited until he walks in and sees Shouto. He runs and jumps into Shouto's arms.
Izuku is also there. They don't bring Ochaco along, only because they don't want to complicate things. (TodoDeku is public knowledge at this point, but not IzuOcha. They just don't want to deal with the "scandal" Deku dating them both will cause.)
Set up his first visit for second weekend of January. -
