I'd be more than happy to continue the CR! It was one of the most involved threads I've been in for quite some time, so really had fun with it. Got to play out a lot of different sides of things. (Just don't talk about spirit world trip and he won't flare up.) Dabi would likely try to sweep the entire thing under the rug. Perhaps talk about generic terms of corruption and beasthood, but not really use his personal experience with it in the conversation.
There's a number of "forced" ways to have them overlap. 1) Clashing if Dabi's hunting a corrupted person and his determination to kill it goes versus Allen's desire to save it. 2) Trading would be interesting. Dabi might be left unnamed, but it'll probably get out eventually some "burn scar covered guy" does trades like that. Pretty obvious to guess who. (He spent most of last month stealing so much shit from the rifts and stockpiling it.) So Allen might know beforehand. 3) He's fallen a little into Shouto's footsteps in collecting plants to trade in the Lumenarium, so if Allen frequents Lumenwood, then they could run into each other, even if en passe on the streets or in the "hospital". There's also, you know, collecting plants. 4) There is meeting at Allen's Sanctuary, since Dabi would likely pass by if only to get a look at the place Shouto and Midoriya are working part time. He keeps an eye on the people from his world. 5) And then there's random "running into you somewhere" moments that come from exploring Trench anyways. Dabi will be avoiding the docks out of all the places, since he hates fish, so that's a thing. There's also if Allen happens to run into him training his Quirk. Or perhaps there's a reach out with omens to talk rather than meeting face to face.
As far as Dabi and Shouto are going in the post-death thread, Dabi's basically gonna walk Shouto home and then sleep on his couch or something for the night. Stay with him till morning or so. That's his repayment to Allen for getting him out of that mess.
Now... there's likely no way of doing this, but Dabi does want to ask about Allen's ability to cut away corruption. Mostly because he wants to know if it's a learned technique. (Selfishly he wants to be able to burn corruption away so he doesn't have to deal with it, buuut I don't think that's possible, and he'll abandon the notion once that's made apparent.) It's still a topic he'd bring up willingly when seeing Allen again.
