Summary
Aizawa starts walking towards the exit, obviously expecting Shouto to follow him, but Shouto's feet are frozen in place. His eyes flicker from the distorted reflection of himself in the ice to where All Might is giving him a long look, eyes kinder than anything Todoroki has ever been deserving of, and he feels sick.
“Todoroki-kun,” Midoriya says gently, squeezing his arm in what Shouto presumes is meant to be a reassuring gesture. “It’s going to be okay.”
He doesn’t think Midoriya is in any place to tell him what okay is, all things considered, but he chooses to keep quiet on the matter.

Summary
“Well, as I see it, we have two options.” Shouto holds up two fingers. “We can either ignore this and pretend it never happened or... not.”
He doesn't know which one he wants.
“What does not entail, exactly?” Yaoyorozu asks.
“...I don't know.”In which Todoroki accidentally learns something about Yaoyorozu, Yaoyorozu accidentally learns something about Todoroki, and they spend a considerable portion of their study sessions... not studying.

“Everyone you know is going to change you,” she says. “If you’re lucky, sometimes you can choose what you let them change you into.”
//
“You’re more than what your childhood made you,” Midoriya finishes, and his smile is— gentle, now, but somehow even more staggering for it. “You’re what you made out of your childhood.”

Summary
“You,” Shoto says, picking his head up from where his screen is filled with The Worst Photograph Ever, curtesy of Shinsou, Jiro, Kaminari, his brother, and nearly everyone they know. “You are so dead to me.”
Kirishima blinks, mouth half open while Izuku mutters oh god, it’s too late, isn’t it on the other end of the phone, before Kirishima is leaning into his space to see his screen.
“Oh,” he says, in response to the photo someone in the crowd of civilians watching the fight had taken of them. “Oh, that’s-” he cuts himself off for a minute, leaning back to eye Shoto’s face while on the other side of the phone Izuku smothers what is probably a laugh, and then changes tracks.
“It’s super manly to love and support your friends,” Kirishima tells Shoto haughtily, as if this whole thing isn't his fault in the first place.
-
or: Kirishima and Shoto accidentally start trending on Twitter and in retaliation Shoto decides to make an Instagram to showcase all his Hero Deku merchandise, so that everyone knows how much he loves his boyfriend Izuku, and no one expects how quickly it will all spiral out from there

Bookmarker's Notes
Izuku’s smile is blinding, bright and seared into Shoto’s memory, for all that he only glimpses it for a moment before Izuku is drawing him back down into a kiss, one that quickly fills with heat like a furnace as they press closer and closer to one another, as if melding into one person instead of two can change the time they’ve spent apart.
//
Eventually exhaustion pulls him under, but not before he can immortalize this moment in his memory, filing it away with a dozen like it, stolen little moments that, when strung up beside each other, make them look like everyone else they know.

Complicated Creation by Elemental

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Should is for when you chose to do something selfish, or stupid. You should have listened to your teachers, you should have woken up earlier, you should have remembered a damned umbrella. Should isn’t for hero fights, unless you think you fucked up.” Shota doesn’t temper his words. “You did what you needed to do, what you were trained to do, what you had to do, and you saved a little girl from a sadist. Should is for guilt, and guilt isn’t going to get you anywhere.”
//
“Protecting yourself against others doesn’t prove them right, even if you have to take their names to do it. That’s like suggesting All Might is a violent and dangerous man because he is constantly punching villains.”
Izuku doesn’t know about that. You could argue that All Might is - well, was - dangerous, depending on how you framed things. You couldn’t suggest he was dangerous to civilians, unlike some other pro heroes, but - Aizawa makes an exasperated sound and glares through his bangs. “Are you trying to come up with ways to declare All Might dangerous?”
“No?” Izuku lies, badly.

Summary
Inko wakes up a few times with hazy nightmares of bruises and grinding bones. Hisashi sleeps soundly. She stares at the wall and thinks of the child she’s still keeping a secret, thinks about their future with a trapped mother and a father who wouldn’t think twice about ending a life. Her friends have disappeared. The boy who'd flirted with her is dead. Hisashi's right in the middle of it, with that smile that says he'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
She can’t let her baby end up like that. She can’t watch an innocent mind be warped into the person that Hisashi must be. It’ll be hard, raising a kid on her own. She hasn’t even gone to a doctor yet to make sure her pregnancy’s going okay. “Either I give up everything I have,” she says, hand resting on her belly. “Or I let Hisashi ruin my baby forever.”
(The choice is easy, in the end. She picks her child.)

A customer sees her wrap an abandoned pork cutlet in tin foil. “It’s for my dog,” Inko tells him with a sunny smile. He nods and doesn’t question it and goes back to his lunch.
Later, Inko unwraps it in the safety of her car. It’s cold. For some reason, that makes her burst into tears.

Summary
Izuku has plans for everything.
He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.
For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.
Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.
(Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

Bookmarker's Notes
In the end, he’d answered everything but two questions right: the one about right of way in traffic situations during an earthquake and the free response about switching a trolley’s track to save ten people instead of one.
Izuku had put down ‘save everyone or die trying’ mostly because he was annoyed and slightly horrified thinking about what the HPSC thought was the “right” answer to an ethical dilemma like that. When the proctor read his answer she shot him an incredulous look.
To celebrate, Yagi-san decides he deserves a cheat day on his diet. He takes Izuku and his mom out to their favorite restaurant, a cozy little shop located by the beach. They spend the evening teasing each other laughing.
It’s the lightest Izuku’s felt in a long time.
He makes eye contact with Yagi-san. These days, his laughter lines are deeper. Izuku grins.
//
Izuku looks around the traincar as they travel. It’s packed so he’s pressed close to Iida and Uraraka, he and Iida sandwiching Uraraka between them. He sways with the movement of the train, lightly brushing against them. Here it’s warm–– slow, syrupy heat that seeps into Izuku’s bones. He can still smell the lingering sweetness from the tea shop on them, sugary and homey and exactly what Izuku thinks friendship should smell like. Comforting. Under the harsh fluorescent train lights Iida and Uraraka glow, like stars that Izuku’s managed to trick into spending time down on Earth with him.
//
When he was younger, Izuku used to thank any god that was listening that he looked so much like his mom. She’s the picture of kindness in his mind.
//
Izuku buries his face in his pillow. “I just… want to save everyone.”
Uraraka is quiet for a moment. “You know ‘everyone’ includes you, right?”

Summary
It’d been a month or so since…everything happened—and Sonic’s nightmares had shown no sign of granting him mercy. Sometimes he would jerk awake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, gasping for breath; other times, his eyes would snap open and he would be gripping his blankets with trembling hands, as if his body wanted to reach out and save Shadow.
Today, he woke up feeling completely numb all over, his muzzle drenched from fresh tears. The morning sun was just barely rising over the horizon, streaks of light peeking through the circular window on the ceiling and bathing the floorboards of the attic in warm orange.
How cruel was it that mornings were so beautiful when Shadow couldn’t be here to see it?
OR: Shadow isn’t dead. Sonic just doesn’t realize it until he catches Shadow on the Wachowski’s security camera, sneaking into the house night after night.

“You’re allowed to get close to people, Shadow. It doesn’t mean you’re replacing or forgetting about her. And even if you do lose me…wouldn’t you rather make memories with me before that happens?”
//
“What about you, Knuckles? Aren’t you busy tonight, too?”
Knuckles stared down at the fox, snout wrinkled in confusion. Then, “Ah! Yes!” he shouted suddenly, quickly catching on. Shadow jumped. “That’s right! I just remembered! I had set an appointment with Wade! I am supposed to…” He faltered for a moment before his face lit up. “Yes! I am to train him in the art of bowling!”
Sonic snorted at the blatant lie. “I thought Wade was already good at bowling. And wasn’t he the one who taught you that?”
Knuckles shot him a serious look. “There is no good, inferior hedgehog. There is only better.”
While Sonic spluttered over the casual insult from his brother, Shadow spoke up, his voice soft and hesitant. “You two are busy this late at night?”

Summary
Kirishima is living a normal, human life with his normal, human family, dealing with normal, human problems, like having sharp teeth and sprouting scales from time to time. Just normal, human things.
When he crosses paths with Bakugou, a grumpy foreign adventurer whose dream is to fight a dragon, nothing can stop him from coming along, not even Bakugou himself. Surely, it won't be hard to hide his little "problems" while living in close proximity with someone, right?
Right?
It didn’t take him long to reach the lemon grove, and he walked straight to the little patch of trees covered in beautiful, ripe fruits. Lemons were by far the least popular fruit they had among the local wildlife but sometimes, Eijirou found a bunch of wild boars that ran away as soon as they saw him approaching, or even stray cats and dogs. It was rare, but nothing out of the ordinary.
What Eijirou didn’t expect, though, was to find a blond man standing among the trees, arms full of lemons and oranges. In all the years he’d spent in this orchard, it was the first time Eijirou had ever seen a lemon thief.Series

Katsuki has been having a bad day. He's got a killer headache, and he still has to meet Deku and the others at the hideout to show them the cool creek he found. But Katsuki's going to be a hero! He has to be strong! So he refuses the comfort of his home, takes the medicine his old hag forces upon him, and leaves the house ten minutes before the agreed upon time.
He gets to the hideout, leads the extras to the creek, and then— unintentionally— falls in the fucking creek. Now the headache is gone, but in its place is a gruff, rude voice telling him to be nicer to Deku. What the fuck?

Summary
“It was a kid,” Yagi gasped out. He had his hand balled up into a fist and the fist pressed to his lips, as if to remind himself that he could not start screaming. “Or. Young person, maybe 20. Homeless, I think. Activated their Quirk on reflex and then ran. The kids—” Here, he pressed his fist harder to his mouth, sucked in a wheezing breath, as if the air itself was pushing down something with physical weight. “The kids—”
“Scattered immediately,” Aizawa finished for him, and Yagi managed a nod.
Yagi’s eyes were so dilated that the blue was almost invisible. He shook violently. He looked like a scarecrow in a windstorm.
Someone activated a Fear-Inducer Quirk so powerful that it reduced All Might to this— of course Aizawa’s class had bolted.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Don’t feel too bad, at least running is somewhat useful. Scared-me decided it was a great idea to go up on top a roof—”
The noise that tore its way from Bakugou’s throat was inhuman.
In a motion so violent that Aizawa reached for his non-existent capture scarf, Bakugou threw himself over the arm of the couch, lunging for Midoriya. He grabbed the other boy’s face between both hands, forcing eye contact, faces inches away from each other.
Bakugou’s breath was hitching, uneven. He seemed unable to form words. His eyes were wild, darting, something horrified and desperate behind them that Aizawa could not even begin to decode. Midoriya himself seemed frozen, his own eyes wide, mouth open in a gaping little oh.
“Deku,” Bakugou spoke like a battle, “Deku—”
Understanding flooded Midoriya’s face, and it was ten times more painful than the confusion. His mouth twisted. Slowly, he raised his hands to cup Bakugou’s, still pressing on either cheek.
“Not right now, Kacchan,” he said, squeezing his eyes shut. “Not right now.”
And Aizawa knew that there was something — twisted, ugly, in their shared history, something broken. But feeling it flood the room around them, it suddenly seemed like something more painful than he might have guessed.
Bakugou stared for another charged second. Then he hissed through his teeth, screwed his own eyes closed. He surged forward and knocked his forehead with Midoriya’s, in something that was closer to a headbutt than a tap. He pressed and, after a moment, Midoriya pressed back.

The inside of Katsuki's head gets fuzzy. Heat boils behind his eyes, bubbles up in his throat. He pinches his eyes. His hand slips out of Eijirou's so he can press his temples. He swallows before counting to ten.

He's still moving, but this time slow and deep. With Eijirou's smell, his voice, his touch, all around him. Katsuki tastes his own mouth and finds chocolate. He can't ever explain the feeling.
