    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya grew up lonely and starved for affection. To help her son feel loved when she couldn't express it, his mother taught him a signal.

    "Three taps, Izuku. Three taps to say 'I love you.'"

    It remained between them for ten years. Then, someone else noticed.

    Summary

    The first over-night trip off campus since the training camp was supposed to be a fun break from more intense work back home. But between a bleak introduction to chaos theory, a chilly reception from the locals, and the looming threat of a villain attack, Izuku has too much on his mind to properly enjoy the fresh air. But those worries are a light breeze compared to the hurricane that accompanies what he finds on the outskirts of town.

    Or rather, what finds him.

    Summary

    Cloud Strife was about to step into the cage, but first, he had to fight for his dignity.

    And he was losing. Entirely.

    The enemy? His own damn digital footprint.

    The edit compilation staring back at him from his phone screen was titled. “Cloud Strife vs His Zack Fair Problem (A Tragic One-sided Love Story).” The thumbnail was a zoomed-in screenshot of Cloud mid-interview, looking starry-eyed—or as starry-eyed as he got—while a photo of Zack Fair—pop idol, global heartthrob, and unfairly attractive menace—hovered beside him.

    Summary

    By law, packs take care of their own. Everyone has one, arranged by the gods and linked by powerful bonds of magic. All it takes is a touch to know who belongs with whom. All it takes is reciprocity in a shared dream.

    Except, Cloud wants nothing to do with packs, or destiny, or magical dreams, not even if his packmates are the four most terrifyingly powerful and incredible men in the world. If he has his way, they’ll never even figure out that he’s meant to be with them.

    Too bad he’s a terrible liar.

    Summary

    On Gaia, every culture has a slightly different interpretation of what Soulmarks mean. Some say they promise romance, some family, some friendship, and some nothing at all. But if there’s one thing nearly everyone agrees on, it’s that these marks are of the gods. Only in Nibelheim do they ever seem to put a name to which god bestowed the Marks upon humanity. Their answer?

    Loki

    Cloud, who has the names of four SOLDIERs written on his arms, would very much have appreciated knowing how seriously everyone else takes Loki's mischief before he got to Midgar.
