Summary
There’s a flicker at the edge of his awareness, just barely registered by his faltering Observation Haki. His vision is fading out, and he lets his eyes slide shut. Everything sounds muffled to his ears, even his own heartbeat, tripping slower and slower.
Then there’s a touch by his jaw, a slick cold sensation tracing up his cheek, more frigid than the tears freezing on his face. The touch pauses, just at the corner of his lips.
There’s a childish voice, loud even to his failing ears, as if the world had paused and held its breath. The voice is high-pitched and oddly distorted, though that could be because Rocinante is slipping slowly but irrefutably towards death.

There’s only one answer to that question.In which Rocinante dies but doesn't die, and Law is slowly but surely losing his goddamn mind.

Summary
In some ways, saying goodbye to his father happened all too fast, time slipping ceaselessly through grasping fingertips no matter how hard he tried to hold on. And yet, at the same time, it felt like an eternity—that long, painful wait for the inevitable end.
A study in grief and in picking up the pieces. For those left behind.

Summary
Another pass slams into his palms, the faint stinging ignored as Cheng Xiaoshi leaps into the air, his eyes fixed on the shining basketball hoop. As the ball sinks in, Cheng Xiaoshi can’t help the shout of exhilaration tearing from his chest. When he turns around, the whole court is awash in light, the setting sun gilding the loops of the wire fence and tracing gold around the edges of the smile that had slipped onto Lu Guang’s face.

Summary
Sero leans over to rub his knuckles into Todoroki’s knee fondly. “I guess we are more like family than anything else, huh?”
Todoroki seems to think for a second. “You’re all very much like my family are," he says.
“It did take a while,” Kirishima points out. “It felt like I was homesick for the first three months or so. But now it’s just… the new normal, I guess, right?”
“I was homesick,” Todoroki says oddly. “This place feels like home. I don’t feel safe here and it does feel like my home.”
.
(Or: Todoroki is hit with a Quirk that forces him to tell the truth. It's fine until it isn't.)

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the best fics of all time
Been ongoing for 20 plus years and unfortunately may never be finished, but always worth the reread.
Beautiful writing
Fix-it for the train wrecks that are Subaru and Seishirou, but also it definitely gets worse before it gets better

Summary
It was autumn.
He didn’t really notice it until he finally mustered the will to leave the house and was shocked by the nakedness of the trees. Contrasting them was colorful streets that looked like they were taken from a child’s drawing, fallen leaves adorning the otherwise plain sidewalk.
It was a warm autumn day, and Shoto was wearing a turtleneck.
...
A character study, of sorts, of Shoto Todoroki.
