Summary
Captured and imprisoned deep within a Weyland-Yutani black site, an aging Yautja Arbiter becomes the third in a trinity of unlikely captives: a lethal Praetorian-class Xenomorph and a fractured experimental human woman.
Forging a bond through unexpected empathy, Arbiter Karu’un defies every tenet of his culture to rescue both the experiment and the monster. Now, they are hunted by ethically corrupt scientists and a legacy of duty as ancient as the Yautja race itself, even as the woman’s uncontrolled power looms as an ever-present threat to their survival.
As the unlikely shipmates find their new normal, Karu’un’s attempts to keep them at a distance. But he finds himself captivated by the woman's resilience, his discipline giving way to a yearning he can’t ignore. A growing attraction that forces him to realize she is no longer just a rescued oddity, but someone he is willing to break every law to keep.

Summary
Their destined fight was finally over. Both had lived, though that wasn't too unexpected. They hadn't been fighting for the kill as much as for the enjoyment of it. Sprawled out in the dirt of Urahara's training grounds, they were both bleeding and panting, grinning up at the fake blue sky above them.
"You know," Ichigo said into the surprisingly companionable silence, "I kind of thought you'd show up to fight me after the first war." He rolled his head to look at the Arrancar and found blue eyes already watching him.
"Dumbass." Grimmjow's smile was sharp-toothed and full of secrets. "What makes you think I didn't?"

Summary
Aizawa refuses to let his Problem Child travel back in time alone, even to fix a future where All for One was the victor. They go back with a plan that's more of a list, spend a year technically missing, and become rather effective vigilantes that fix some rather serious problems. And then it's time to be found, which seems to primarily result in lots of support and many hugs. Neither Izuku or Aizawa complain very much.

Summary
This is the day everything changed.
Izuku is fourteen again.
That means he needs to plan. He needs to find a way to fix the mistakes of the future and stop his friends from dying. He refuses to fail this time.
He'll be the Hero he couldn't be.
Or, Midoriya Izuku was Quirkless, was gifted a Quirk from All Might, went to Yuuei, fought in a War, lived through the After and was supposed to die. Only he finds himself back in the past with a skewed moral code, PTSD, and an extreme desire to stop his friends from dying brutal deaths. He is going to change the future, make some friends, maybe find a boyfriend, give some Villains a reason to be better and stop some Heroes. For better or for worse.
