Or, they are not quite new souls, not quite consecuted, and Verin feels Essek’s disappearance a lot more than anyone else.

Summary
The ringing note of a concert A is played by the oboe, echoing on its own in the space. It’s picked up by the wind section, followed rapidly by the brass, and the familiar feeling of an orchestra calibrating takes over Caleb. The tonal adjustments as each person brings their instrument into alignment sinks into him and something inside Caleb shifts in recognition as Essek leads the strings into their own tuning.
It’s like something is waking up, like something unfurling and firing across long-unused paths of memory. His hands shake slightly, as he raises his bow and joins them, fingers fumbling against the pegs and fine tuners that give him control over his instrument.
----
Essek Thelyss is a leading violinist, his spot as Shadowhand of the Rosohna Philharmonic Orchestra has been uncontested for over a decade. Caleb Widogast is a recent arrival to the city, convinced by his friends to audition for one of the vacant violinist positions.
After starting off on the wrong foot, Caleb and Essek get to slowly know each other, discover what brings them joy, create while defying expectations, and find out that what they can produce together may just be better than anything they can do separately.

Summary
You join the Legends to gain some field experience as a mage. You're meant to study under the infamous John Constantine, and you can't imagine anything worse. Working side by side, however, you start to see that maybe all you've read about him was wrong.
A slow burn of enemies to friends to lovers. Doesn't really have a place in the canon show timeline - it's just for fun.

Summary
Aizawa Shōta, a famous artist who remains anonymous to the public, meets Yamada Hizashi, an aspiring DJ, and the two hit it off immediately. His time spent with Yamada is a welcome change from his stress as a single father and overworked artist. While Aizawa spoils Yamada, he would deny that he's a "Sugar Daddy".
They're magnetic; Yamada and Aizawa find each other drawn together time and time again, and as their relationship develops, Aizawa didn't quite expect Yamada to move in with him. He didn't expect to fall in love, either.

This fic series begins with "Affluence", and you might be left a little confused if you haven't read it! The series is complete, as I don't see myself adding to any further.- Words:

Summary
Kurogiri had a normal but empty life. Sure He had a nice job where he is his own boss, a car to drive on the weekends and a few regular customers that brighten his nights. But there is just something missing...
Everything changes when he gets a call in the middle of the night. His old friend Sensei that helps to run foster homes and children's outreach in the city has a child he thinks needs a more permanent home. With Sensei’s failing health he does not think that he would be a suitable caregiver.
Upon hearing more about the child and meeting him. Kurogiri makes a decision that changes his normal life into a whirlwind as he tries to earn a child's trust, balance work, parental duties, and school meetings, as well as prove that he can be a great caregiver.
If he survives this whole mess maybe he will be able to fill in that hole in his life.
(A civilian au where people still have quirks. And Kuro is the best dad.)
