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 Stife 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.

Summary
If this were a different story, Zack thinks, he would be using his last moments to remember kind, green eyes and a sweet smile. He would be staring out into the raining sky, life running out of him, while making peace with the fact that he would never see his first love again. If this were a different story, Zack would not be left empty-handed, crying out as his friend stumbles away into the remnants of a battlefield. He would not be praying for that blond head to turn, aching to capture the final sight of a cherished face before locking it behind two lids.
No, this does not feel like a fitting end to this story at all―and Zack overflows with the one childish thought that this is unbearably unfair. In the rare moments that he, as any soldier must, contemplated his death, he never imagined that he would die alone.
