    Summary

    14 year old Izuku gets lost at the UA Sports Festival!

    Luckily, Pro Heroine Midnight knows where he can wait until his parents can come collect him; the announcer's booth with her best pals Eraserhead and Present Mic.

    Chaos ensues.

    If you do prefer audio, The Nomad Crow has kindly started a podfic where they read this fic: at their YouTube channel. Please go support them and leave a nice comment. :)

    Now with a sequel, a discord server and a TV Tropes page.

    Summary

    Grian presumed his soul was actively leaving his body – providing him with just another last minute delusion to take him into the next life - until he heard music.

    His tired delusions were a lot of things, but they were never music.

    Grian blinked, once, twice, then a third time. Still, the shape on the horizon didn’t fade. The light didn’t fade. The music didn’t fade. This wasn’t the blurry shadow of what may or may not be a rock, or the light of the moon against a wave imitating a town. This was a genuine miracle. This was his relief.

    It was a ship!

    - or -

    After being cursed by a witch, Grian finds himself stuck in the form of a parrot with no way to change back, and only a conveniently handsome pirate captain to rely on until he reaches land.

    Summary

    The rift, while eventually settling into a cooled, inactive state, still radiates leftover energy — Xisuma had told him that it was nothing to worry about, so Grian didn’t pay it much mind, not after everything between Hermitcraft and Empires had settled.

    Weeks later, the rift spits out one last body.

    Evil Xisuma had been banished to the void for an indefinite sentence. He didn’t expect an early unintentional release, one that he didn’t facilitate but knows he would reap the consequences for. He wants to run, but how long would that last? He can’t leave the server, but… surely there’s something he can do, right?

    Turning yourself into a cat and finding peace in a feline retirement from villainy wasn’t his plan, but he can’t say he regrets it.

    Summary

    proverb - A person who wanders or travels often and at length will not be burdened by attachments such as friends, family, or possessions.

    Bdubs has done well for himself, thank you very much! He's got a ship, he's got business, he's got friends! A man needs nothing more in the grand universe.

    It's hard being a human in the great beyond; a new species to the intergalactic community means poachers, a black market, and an everpresent danger.

    The solution? Simple! Don't be a human.

    Obviously, it's not going to be as easy as that. Not when he finds himself joining the crew of the Hermit Craft, not when he learns he's not quite alone.

    Summary

    Xisuma is the Void God of Vengeance, an ancient, incorporeal deity of protective rage and rightful revenge. His duty is to watch over the citizens of the Void that live in the material plane and rain justice on any that harm them. His job is not to slowly adopt an entire swarm of lost, injured, enslaved, and homeless children. He does that one on his own time.

    Or: Xisuma is trying to live his best solitary life at the bottom of the earth but these children keep showing up and pulling him away from it.
