Summary
“Breakfast is ready,” a deep voice — Aizawa-sensei’s familiar voice calls from another room. “Come eat.”
And… Izuku can’t remember the last time someone made breakfast for him. It must have been years. Probably before he taught himself to use the stove. Despite himself, he feels tears pricking his eyes.
Mic-sensei doesn’t comment on that, instead taking one of Izuku’s hands. “Come on, baby; let’s go eat before the food gets cold.”
Izuku should fight. This isn’t normal, or healthy. He’s been kidnapped, put in some weird twilight zone copy of his room and told he’s being forcefully adopted and he’s not allowed to return to his mother, but instead, instead he obediently follows his teacher to a table in the the kitchen, where a large serving of food is set out for him — unlike at his mother’s house, where he has to take small servings, this is in accordance with what is required because of his quirk; he needs massive amounts of calories compared to the average person ever since accepting One for All.
———
Or, in which Izuku gets adopted by his teachers. Whether he likes it or not.

smelling henry by ninzied

Summary
When Alex meets Henry, the first thing he thinks is that Henry does in fact smell like a library. But like a really nice library, with a tea shop and tons of natural light, and rows upon rows of leather-bound books. Maybe one of those rolling ladders, too, with a super hot librarian on the bottom rung.
Anyone with eyes and a nose would easily come to the same conclusion.
.
Or, Alex’s new roommate smells nice. Like really nice, objectively speaking.

Summary
"Dream?"
The name falls off the man’s lips, hushed and breathless, and it stirs an answering feeling in Morpheus’ chest, something tugging deep behind the cage of his ribs, an incomprehensible yearning to be this man’s Dream.
"I fear you mistake me for another,” he says, at last.
*
Or, retired Morpheus tries to navigate human life without the foundation of his memories, and a chance encounter is the catalyst he needs to find himself.

Summary
Mark cherished his routines.
It was the only way he knew how to make sense of the chaos of the world around him. Life’s curveballs felt more manageable when he could fall back on the structure he meticulously built for himself. And then he met Haechan, the brand new baker-barista at the coffee shop next to his job who absolutely refused to let Mark keep any semblance of control over his life. All over some damn cinnamon rolls.

Summary
Beast, he named her mother. Had he, in his vast kingdom of vanity, mistaken her for his own reflection? Beast he was, she thought, even that cringing pity employed in service of his grand design. And she, born of two worlds, but named—and thus bound—dutiful daughter of only one. It was a clever trap, ensnaring her from birth, invisible and intangible, so masterfully spun she could not move a single limb in protest. She could not have woven a net so sheer and yet so fine had she all of time at her disposal.

Summary
Regulus Arcturus Black, the most aspiring chess player of his generation and descendent of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, finds himself up against James Potter, notoriously brilliant, unnervingly smug, and unfortunately, extremely attractive. What starts out as a rivalry soon turns into more as the line between friendship and love starts to blur, and soon, Regulus risks more than losing just the game. With his abusive family breathing down his neck, his brother Sirius gone, and only chess to escape into, Regulus is haunted by his ambition, loneliness, and addiction, and James Potter might just be the only one who can stop his downfall.

Summary
The languid sweep of a broom; the textured turn of a page. A melody Kaveh doesn’t recognize overhead, barely audible, notes of a piano suggesting a moment out of time yet residing congruently. Something that would play in the quiet of one’s kitchen once a night of entertaining has ended, the cleaning has finished, and all that’s left is the fading echo of companionship and the gentle temptation of a warm bed.
Kaveh pauses in his cleaning. If Alhaitham caught his stare, it would definitely give him away—it’s missed, thankfully, thus Kaveh permits his gaze to take its time. Alhaitham’s got that dent between his brows again; something in his book must be vexing him.
🝮
During the first rain of spring, Kaveh meets his most intruiging customer.
