    Summary

    « Kai Smith…? » Jay murmured, deep in thought.

    Lloyd’s eyes lit up, and Nya’s expression brightened. The atmosphere grew lighter, hope sparking between them.

    « Yes! Do you remember him? » Lloyd asked eagerly.

    Jay seemed to take a moment, studying Kai closely. His drink—forgotten—sat on the coffee table before him.

    « Aren’t you supposed to be dead? »

    OR

    Jay has finally returned, but the answers he gives leave the ninja team in doubt.

    OR

    More anguish for Kai, because I'm not well and I'm expressing it through my namesake x)

    Summary

    Hunger starts small.

    Kai feels it fluttering beneath his ribs, like a bird rattling against a cage. It flares and dies now and again, calling him back to that aching feeling. At first, it's nothing to note. He'll just stuff his face with whatever until it leaves.

    But after a while, it takes a little more to placate. After a while, it takes too much. After a while, it takes everything.

    After a while, it's all that's left. And nothing in the 16 realms can satiate it.

    Except one thing.

    And he hates it.

    Or:

    Killing the omukade turned out to leave quite the hefty consequence. Now holding it's curse, Kai finds that on some nights, only something specific can whet his appetite.

    Who knew elemental masters could be so... crunchy.

    Summary

    He doesn’t know when Joker appeared, or rather more honestly: he doesn’t remember when Joker became someone different from him.

    It scares him, sometimes, to have a part of himself feel so close and yet so far away; he scrambles onto the pieces that connect him and Joker and try to find a middle ground, as if there is an explanation for the vast differences that separates the real world him and the Metaverse him.

    (or alternatively: Akira Kurusu tries to put the puzzle pieces of himself together and learns that coping mechanisms aren't always healthy.)

    Summary

    Trapped in what feels like hell, Izuku reaches out a hand. Luckily, the person on the other end was paying attention.

    ---

    A young Izuku is an unwilling part of the Shie Hissakai; a quirkless lab rat to further Chisaki's experimentation. His one secret, one he keeps close to his heart, is the little radio and flip phone he's managed to hide from his captors thus far. Put Your Hands Up Radio is a biweekly distraction that makes him feel like he can hang on just a little longer, a way to indulge in his passion for heroes that doesn't end with someone getting hurt.

    One night he calls in, just to talk, setting him and some unwitting bystanders down a path none of them expected.

    Summary

    As soon as Izuku entered the room, the boy’s head snapped up.

    Izuku took a step back.

    A face he saw every morning in the mirror stared back at him, eyes glittering with delight. The left one was red.
    “Oh, hello.”

     

    This was a bad idea.

     

     

    Or: Izuku finds out UA is holding a villain under lock and key. Specifically, they’re holding him, a version of him from an alternate universe in which he never became a hero, but something far darker. Curiosity gets the better of him. He ends up regretting it.

    Summary

    Ren refuses to follow the initial script.

    There is no leader named Joker, instead there is a boy who is led down a path that destroys his senses.

    Ren has straight A’s, is on student council, works 3 jobs, and eats lunch in the janitors closet with his teacher.

    No relationships, no sense of self, and eventually his morals will slip as well. But for him this is perfectly normal.

    With the push of Yaldabaoth in the background, Ren develops a Palace.

    TLDR: Ren doesn't develop his persona, nor does he lead the Phantom Theives of Heart. His role has been forcefully reassigned.

    Summary

    From where he sat on the roof, Xiao could feel the thrumming energy of lively guests beneath him, enjoying their meals and their company in the late evening. Soon, weary from their travels and with full stomachs, the guests would head to their rooms and go to bed, marking the time when Xiao would have to leave. The silvery threads of the guests’ dreams filtered through the tiles of the roof, cool and silken to the touch, and Xiao hated the way they made his mouth water nauseatingly. He hated how even after thousands of years, his behavior was still conditioned to the whims of his old master.

    - or -

    A study of Xiao’s relationship with eating.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya doesn't have a quirk. Quirks are things of wonder and awe, destined to make great heroes out of those who master them. Izuku has a curse. A thing. A horror that burnt his skin, ruined his life and filled his head with monsters. His only chance at normality was to suppress the darkness with self-hatred, silence the demons with medication, and focus everything left on the singular goal of maybe one day turning his curse into a force for good.

    But can such horror, such darkness, ever be used for good? Or will he eventually fall to shadow and flame?

    After all, Izuku is his father's son.

    Summary

    Midoriya is drugged by a villain during a raid, but old and new fears, along with the manufactured anxiety the drug produces, urges him to keep his condition hidden.

    He's determined to keep this a secret in the long days ahead - even after the hallucinations start. Even after his worst nightmares are played out around campus, so vividly that he begins to lose track of what is and isn’t real.

    Summary

    The first over-night trip off campus since the training camp was supposed to be a fun break from more intense work back home. But between a bleak introduction to chaos theory, a chilly reception from the locals, and the looming threat of a villain attack, Izuku has too much on his mind to properly enjoy the fresh air. But those worries are a light breeze compared to the hurricane that accompanies what he finds on the outskirts of town.

    Or rather, what finds him.

    [If you see this fic anywhere that isn’t the official AO3 website, it’s stolen.]
