Summary
It takes Sasuke six years to understand peace, and it involves some soul searching, some vacation, some spy work, and some stuffed cats.
Excerpt: "Because Sasuke’s nightmares travel the depths of every darkness he’s known, seen, and done, but they begin with a single blood-soaked night, and end with a single blood-soaked hand reaching out to touch his forehead."

Summary
At nine, she gets four rounds in before being disqualified. She grumbles and groans about it, heads out to the mountains and practices, practices, practices. She’s going to win this. She’s going to show her parents, show everyone, that she’s not incapable, not helpless, not fragile.
The earth sings. Toph moves with it. Practices with badger moles and with random challengers. Falls and skins her knees and gets back up, feels the dirt and the sweat, feels the validation of being treated like an equal, of having people fighting her with their all. It hums inside of her and grows and grows and grows, and it makes her feel powerful.
If her parents ever realize she’s missing, they don’t ask.

Summary
“I want,” Bakugou says, “you to wake the fuck up. Make teachers look out for their kids. Don’t put up with any kind of violence—this should be a fucking safe space for kids. And the little shit-stains who think they’re above the rules because they’ve got a fancy quirk? You deal with them, too. Quirk usage is illegal. Physical assault is illegal. And yet I saw all that and more when I was here—I did all of that and more when I was here.”
The principal stares at him. “You’re saying you wanted us to give you detention?”
Detention. Like that would have done anything.
“I’m saying,” Bakugou says through gritted teeth, “that you should’ve expelled me.”
Or: how Bakugou became an anti-bullying advocate.

The Avengers thought it would be a simple mission. Kill the giant, sixty foot worm monsters, head home and maybe take an hour long shower to get the worm guts off. But when they come across a hidden town in the depths of the forest, the last thing they're expecting to find is a secret underground base and a fourteen year old boy sticking to the ceiling.
The team finds themselves becoming a dysfunctional family to the teen while he learns how to find a life out of captivity.
Featuring dolphins, puzzles, and frosting art.
