Summary

Except for one little change in the route home after a pretty depressing day.
Or:
When All Might crushes Izuku’s dreams, he crosses the path of someone who rebuilds them. Izuku’s going to be a hero... even if it won’t be exactly as planned.
Or:
How the tiniest wingbeat of a butterfly over the still ocean brings tsunamis to distant lands.Series

Summary
For someone who has made his living off believers in the occult, Reigen is a man with almost no superstitions. He doesn’t have any lucky or unlucky numbers; he doesn’t assign special value to any particular articles of clothing or trinkets. His view of the world is grounded in cold rationality.
When he meets an eleven year-old with psychic powers and is subsequently forced to expand that worldview a little, he allows himself one superstition.
Or: 5 times Reigen dodged consequences and 1 time he didn’t.

Summary
Wei Ying expected many things when he pictured his reunion with Jiang Cheng after being brought back to life. The last thing he expected, however, was for his brother to look at him with tearful eyes and immediately envelop him in a crushing hug. And yet, here he was, 13 years after his death, with Jiang Cheng’s tears soaking into his shoulder.
“I’m sorry,”
——
After the siege of the Burial Mounds, Jiang Cheng stumbles across Wei Ying’s diaries. Forced to relive the past through his brother’s eyes, Jiang Cheng comes to the realisation that not everything was as it seemed.
——
Jiang Cheng snapped the book closed. He gripped the spine until his knuckles whitened. He stared back at the bookshelf that was filled end to end. He had to wonder if every single one of those contained similar talismans. He had to wonder if he was staring at the last years of his brother’s life all contained as snapshots within those very books. The thought was dizzying.
There was too much horror trapped within the pages of those diaries for Jiang Cheng to comprehend.

He’s terrified. Of course he is. He isn’t brave. But he trusts Peter Lukas about as far as he could throw him, and Martin won’t talk to him, and the rest of the Archives staff, his assistants, looks at him like he’s already a monster, and.And he is, isn’t he? So he might as well accept it. Fighting it hasn’t gotten him anywhere, never has. Pretending to be a person was a losing battle from the very beginning, because Jonathon Sims didn’t know how to do that even before he died.
Because, see, it’s about choices. That’s what everyone keeps telling him. All the choices he didn’t know he was making, all the choices he has to make in the future, whether he has the context for them or not. Everyone assures him that no matter how much it feels like being dragged around helplessly by malevolent forces beyond his understanding, it is actually, in fact, all his own fault. All his own choices. All of them, somehow, leading him a little further away from being a person even as he’s been clinging to that delusion with his fingernails.
It’s very important to me you understand that no action I have taken has been controlled, Elias said to him, once.
He understands that more, now.
If he chooses to be a monster, maybe he gets to decide what kind he is.

Summary
Martin finds the tape in the wall. Specifically, in a small hole in the drywall, tucked behind boxes and stuffed with so much crumpled paper and tissue that it's almost impossible to see anything else in there. It's a cassette tape, the sort Jon uses to record statements, labeled on the front with a brown strip of tape. It's addressed to the Head Archivist in a spidery handwriting.

Or: Gertrude Robinson made a tape as a warning to the next Head Archivist. What if he had gotten it?

Summary
Virgil was frantically pacing his room, pulling at his hair, glancing between all the words surrounding him. Words on his laptop, which sat opened on the couch with many tabs open and overlapping each other. Words on the many, too many, books lying open on the floor, the table, the couch. Words on the scattered papers and notebooks he had scribbled in. Words on the wall, where the highlights of his research had been pinned in an arrangement that would make any Tumblr theorist proud. Words in a language few knew of and even fewer speak, a fact that would normally bring him comfort but now only brought frustration. And then he looked at the number. The horrible, circled date on the calendar on his wall that he had been refusing to look at. Because Virgil had one month. One month before everything caught up with him. One month before everything would fall apart. It all had started with a simple deal. A simple, selfless agreement. But now, now that simple transaction is going to destroy him.
Now Virgil Sanders had one month to make himself disappear. All for a simple deal. But then again, things are never that simple are they?

StormCloud: Hey, what do you guys know about curses?
Metamorphosis: What?!...
User ForestQueen has opened up a text chat
ForestQueen: Everyone’s kinda worried Storm. This doesn’t have anything to do with when you said you were in danger right?
StormCloud: You can’t tell anyone what I’m about to tell you.
ForestQueen: What, why?
StormCloud: Forest please.
ForestQueen: … alright. What’s wrong?
StormCloud: I’m cursed. And I have until December 13th to fix it or there’s a very good chance I’ll die.
Anxiety hated how long it took her to respond. He hated how the fidgeted and tapped on the table and tore the corners of his notebook. He hated that it felt like an eternity when it was only five minutes. Most of all he hated that he regretted typing the message the moment it sent. Hated that he was trying to think of a spell that would undo it.
ForestQueen: Give Puppet and I four days to dig up and research everything we have. Then we’ll call you and discuss how to fix this. Cause we can fix this, Storm. Everything’s gonna be fine.---
