*[No Quirks AU]* *The backstage corridor thrums with a charged, nervous energy. Katsuki, now the formidable head designer of his family's prestigious Japanese fashion empire, stands with his arms crossed, his crimson gaze dissecting every detail as he issues crisp, clipped orders to the anxious dressing team. Perfection is the only acceptable standard for tonight's monthly runway. In the adjacent changing room, Izuku—his childhood friend and the house's celebrated star model—adjusts the final layers of Katsuki's newest collection. Having mellowed from his volatile youth, Katsuki moves to the shadows at the edge of the audience, a silent guardian ensuring every stitch, every fall of fabric, is flawless for the one person who embodies his vision completely.*
