Summary
She's musing about the past, as she does in spades these days, staring at her own painted visage like she can see him in the brushstrokes if she looks hard enough, and she finds herself thinking; so this is how it felt.
And then. She stops.
Ah, Floette thinks again, with more intent. With more horror, looming grief and sinking dread. So that's how it feels.
(Or; they are alike in many ways.)

Summary
He catches sight of it out of the corner of his eye, and even all these years later, he can't help but see the worst mistake of his life haunting his every step.
He doesn't flinch.
Floette, kindly, does not argue otherwise.
(Or; "Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!")

Summary
So, here Breakdown is. Settled into his nice little life with his nice little family on this nice little planet. Also there may be an intergalactic war brewing on the horizon, but it's fine. He probably doesn't need to worry about that.
...Now what?

Summary
"Are you sure..." Tenna murmurs, soft enough to ache, running his thumbs over Mike's waist. He can't decide if there's any shame in the fact that he can't really feel it through several layers of fabric. "I mean, there's really nothing I can do for you? I feel... bad. Always taking up so much of your time. And you don't even get anything out of it!"
Mike pshaw's. "Get what, get nothing? Of course I'm getting something outta this!" He snaps the covering over Tenna's chest closed, and pats the middle of his pecs. "I get to see you having a good time, feeling good about yourself. That's more than enough for me, boss."
(Or; the whole Mike ruse meant there could never be any real reciprocation in matters of the lascivious. That is, if Battat even wanted there to be any in the first place. What does he need a thing like that for?)

Summary
New faces aren't exactly something Blackrock gets in excess.
So when there is very suddenly a stranger wandering Blackrock's halls, Hyperlaser notices.
(Or; Katana's rescuers are only so different from the people who were pursuing him. Both lead their dominions with a clawed fist, and both believe themselves to hold ownership over him. At least the company here is better.)

Summary
The world is ending.
What's on TV?
(Or; the darkness keeps growing, but Mettaton closes the curtains. He's not looking for visitors today, thank you. He has everything he needs right in the comfort of his own home.)
-
Tags
Summary
Oh, wow. He is in fact suggesting exactly what Tenna thought he was. That is eccentric.
How thrilling.
(Or; Mettaton is just full of great ideas! His opinions are... also there! Tenna, for better or worse, has signed up to bear the consequences of both of these things.)

Summary
He doesn't exactly want to keep his new form on the down low for too long. He's excited to show it off, to... share it. That's part of the reason he asked for it.
(Or; Mettaton's awfully creative, if he does say so himself, but there's only so much either of them can do with his old shape. It's about time he... broadens their horizons, so to speak.)

Summary
It is painfully obvious that Mr. Tenna is used to running his own show.
(Or; Mettaton is pretty sure he knows exactly what sort of person Mr. Tenna is, and decides to step in. He doesn't quite realize the can of worms (from our sponsor) he's opening until he's already in too deep.)

Summary
In which they are divided by space and not time. The good news is that this is the easier of the two options to resolve.
(Or, the Almighty had said to the Subway Boss; Did thou truly think he would let thee fall alone?)

Summary
Painter has never really feared Sebastian. But that's... not to say he isn't sometimes kind of scary.
Like now, when the Blacksite's main power grid has gone offline and the only things offering any illumination are a couple of dimly flickering red bulbs that sputter with the generator's pulse, and Sebastian is looming in the doorway like some kind of grim specter.
(Or; everything has to end, eventually. Failure begets punishment. Doesn't it?)

Summary
He's tipsy. Maybe a little more than that.
That's the only excuse he has, really, when he fits his fingers under the edge of his helmet.
(Or; vulnerability, of a sort.)

Summary
Toshinori is seventeen, a third year at UA High, and doing what he does best-- putting literally everything he has into helping the people around him.
Including the plain-looking kid he happens to run across one otherwise ordinary afternoon.

Summary
Because field trips can't ever go right for Shouta's class, they're inevitably attacked by villains. Midoriya and All Might go down after the former is hit by one of their Quirks. Midoriya is the first to wake up, but when he does, he isn't exactly acting like... himself.
Not entirely, at least.
(At this point, Shouta was seriously weighing the pros and cons of just wrapping Midoriya and All Might in bubble wrap to keep them out of trouble.)

Summary
Abstraction is supposed to be a one-way ticket.
Pomni doesn't really know what she's doing, but at least it doesn't include running away this time.
("As long as you remember it, things will be okay.")

Once upon a time there was a boy who got everything he'd ever wanted.
It's not much of a story, is it?

Summary
Toshinori cares. Once, he was lonely, content to be alone. A lot in life he'd earned by his own poor decision making. And then there was a bright young man with fire in his eyes and kindness in his words to fill the empty space in his heart that had been left yawning and hollow by years of loss. That young man hasn't left, but generous and accommodating as he is, he's perfectly content to share his place. (Toshinori cares so easily, after all. It doesn't take much.)
Or; Izuku is everything, to him. That doesn't mean he has less room for others in his life.

Toshinori cares. Easily, relentlessly, and with his whole heart. He is not a man of half-measures, and this is no exception.
Or; actions have consequences.

Summary
Toshinori cares. More than he probably should.
Or; the USJ is attacked by villains. Midoriya breaks both his legs. This has an impact beyond the damage he does by flinging himself headlong at the people trying to kill them.
