Summary
“It’s more fun to enjoy music out loud, I think,” Oosawa takes the album reverently, “Although headphones feel like a shield from the world, I don’t want to be hiding. I want to be free, you know?”
Mitsuki’s heart almost skips a beat. How is it… She’s never really talked to Oosawa before. How is it that she's saying the exact same things on Mitsuki’s mind? Her words are resonating just as deeply as the music she talks about, cutting right into Mitsuki’s soul.
Some of us have to hide, She almost replies.

Summary
"You kept this evening free, right?"
Shouto cannot respond, a cold dread strangling his tongue.
"Meet me here at 6," Katsuki continues, "I'm taking you out."
"Katsuki," He croaks, "What day is it today?"
-
It’s like a time loop. But not really. No one else is in it.
Katsuki is stuck on Tuesday. Meanwhile, everyone else is moving forward in time.

Summary
“What are you doing here, kid?” Oh. He’s early.
“Hi, Eraserhead.” Shouto greets. Naturally just his knowledge of the underground hero’s name raises suspicion. He knows a lot of other things too.
It’s not safe up on the rooftops. Go home. Shouto recites in his head.
“It’s not safe up on the rooftops. Go home.” Eraserhead says. He worries, every time. Shouto has learnt to sit down before he gets there, so that he doesn’t look like he’s about to jump. But a kid sitting alone on a rooftop still isn’t normal. Not that Shouto ever was.
-
Shouto makes a deal with the devil, to escape from the future his father had mapped out for him. It doesn’t take long for him to realise that being forgotten by everyone is not a blessing, but a curse.
(based loosely on the novel ‘The Invisible Life Of Addie La Rue’ by V.E. Schwab)

Summary
"You know, it's not quite as ideal as being king of the world, but I can make do with emperor of Xing..."
"Young lord... if you are truly a man worthy to be king... then you must be willing to accept some loss."
Their voices rang out in his mind, and as he gazed into the crimson depths of a thousand souls, he wished more than anything that he could turn back time.
He'd never thought the saying "be careful what you wish for" would ever become so literal for him.

Summary
In front of him was Chan. He was surrounded by shadows, they twisted and flickered, and somehow Jisung knew that it was Them.
“Fuck!” Jisung yelled as the shadows rushed towards him.
(Somewhere, in another universe, Seungmin was very angrily looking at an anomaly in the magnetic field of the earth. Somehow, it had Han Jisung written all over it.)
Or: sequel time??? Sequel time!!!

Summary
Arthur Pendragon is at an all-time low: he's still suffering from the day he nearly dueled his father to the death, his sword arm has been wounded so grievously he may never fight again, and, worst of all, every last soul in Camelot and the kingdoms beyond have had magic forced on them overnight. Now Arthur must contend with the chaos of magic run rampant, his father's dangerous instability, Morgana's increasing distance, catching Merlin in more lies than he can count, and the magic that is now threatening to consume him—all while searching for a way to break the curse before it consumes them all.
It's not going to be easy: Arthur grapples with a destiny he's not sure he can handle, and a past he'd rather forget—and if he wants to save his people, he must be prepared to confront hard truths and harder choices. It's a trial by fire, one that risks destroying everything Arthur has left to hold dear should he fail. But with enough courage, enough understanding, and maybe just a touch of magic, there's nothing he can't face.

Summary
“Look,” Bakugou had said. “It’s like -- scientific theories get accepted when there’s nothing else that can explain an observed phenomenon, all right? Back in first year, when you thought Deku could be All Might’s kid despite the glaring lack of physical resemblance—” here, Shouto had frowned, which Bakugou had ignored, “—it was because you saw the quirk similarities and obviously had no fucking reason to think that a quirk would be inherited beyond, y’know, genetics. So that was your theory, until it wasn’t.”
Shouto remembers that now, with dirt beneath his fingernails.
It’s a dream.
It’s a dream, because Katsuki is alive, and Shouto wakes up, and he’s not there.
It’s a dream, but now Shouto has dirt under his fingernails.
It’s a dream, until it isn’t.
Bakugou is gone, except for in Shouto’s dreams. (He thinks.)

knit you a sweater (write you a love letter) by lelex

Summary
Deku shakes his head to himself and pushes right past that claim. “I tried to get you to start knitting with me last year and every few months since then but you’re going to start because of your hot friend telling you about an old wives’ tale?
“He’s not fuckin’ hot,” Katsuki grumbles, pinching the bridge of his nose between his thumb and pointer finger. “And it’s a curse, get it right.”
*
Or, Katsuki buys stupid Deku the best Christmas present of all time, learns to knit purely out of spite, debunks the (totally bullshit) sweater curse, and gains a boyfriend in the process.

Summary
[Sort-of sequel to TLAAO]
Shouto is thrilled to have Midoriya back, really. It's just that in between the family trauma and career highs he had going on in his absence, he also managed to start dating Bakugou, and he hasn't gotten around to telling him yet.
He will, though. At some point. Eventually. Maybe. When Bakugou is less weird about it. Or when it stops being funny.

Summary
Realistically, Katsuki is aware that he cannot rip everything out of himself, everything small and delicate and what makes him feel vulnerable. Anything at all, no matter how hard he tries. Realistically, Katsuki knows that there always will be obstacles, making the smoothly running system of his life hitch, halt. Impediments he can’t burn into ashes in his palms.
Katsuki tries to, anyway.
or: Katsuki is angry, all the time, until there is something else. And it's all Todoroki's fault.
