    Summary

    The Avatar is an ancient, cosmic being, blessed with immense power and wisdom from birth. Existing to aid the world in protecting balance and peace, the title of "Master of the Four Elements and Protector of Life" is one that very few ever deign to mess with.

    And then Avatar Toshinori is killed in his own home in the Fire Nation, and the world begins to sleep a little less soundly at night. The threat of war becomes all the more a concern, and with its protector presumably only in the adolescent state of their rebirth, there is not a thing in the world that can stand toe-to-toe with a Firelord that wants all that the world has to offer and more.

    Enter bright eyed, wide-smiled, sixteen year old Midoriya Izuku.

    Avatar Midoriya Izuku.

    Summary

    “Did you paint this?”

    Midoriya notices a cloaked stranger staring at one of his pieces.

    “Yeah,” he answers, clearing his throat when his voice breaks. “Do you like it?”

    The stranger doesn’t answer but he takes one step forward the painting, his head tilting as he examines it. He turns to him, his face concealed by the hood.

    “You have a particular style. Very unique from the others I’ve seen.”

    Unsure if it’s a praise, Midoriya decides to play it safe. “I don’t want to pressure you or anything, sir, but I’m leaving soon.”

    The stranger’s inspecting another canvas, showing women washing clothes in the waterfall on the village’s outskirts. “Such trivial subjects...”

    “Listen, I paint what I want. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.”

    “On the contrary, I like it. I’ll buy them all.”

    Midoriya’s jaw falls open.

    All of them?”

    (An AU where Midoriya’s a court painter and faces Prince Shouto, his mysterious patron, as well as a rebel faction, murders within the castle and shark-like diplomats in a kindgom ruled by corruption and on the brink of war.)

    Summary

    Iwaizumi barks out a laugh. “I’m still trying to get over the fact that you made a PowerPoint presentation about why we should date.”

    Oikawa doesn’t tell him the file has existed for the last twelve years, constantly receives updates, and that the original copy contained almost a hundred slides before he forced himself to get a grip.


    Moments in Oikawa’s journey to win over his best friend’s love: the sad, the happy, and everything in between.

    Summary

    Oikawa Tooru is the only legitimate son of the Western king which should make him the sole heir to the throne. Except that he's not. That's because he's an omega, and omegas aren't fit to rule. With his title stripped from him, Tooru is handed over as a peace offering to the Southern king's son, Iwaizumi Hajime. Life in the Southern kingdom is strikingly different from the life that Tooru has grown accustomed to in the luxurious Western kingdom but his adjustment to this strange, new place is paramount to the realm's fragile peace.

    Summary

    Working as a server at a high-end restaurant in Kabukicho means that life isn't always as uninteresting as Oikawa hopes it might be. But the job pays well, his manager is understanding of his university schedule, and Oikawa takes pride in being able to meet some of Japan's most prominent businessmen even if he doesn't really care for what they do.

    That is, until Iwaizumi Hajime takes an interest in him.
