Summary
“Sorry, Yoshiki,” Hikaru groans as tears come out of one eye and more of him comes out of the other. “Ughh, I don’t – ”
Yoshiki can see how hard he’s trying to calm himself down, but it just isn’t working.
“It’s ok,” Yoshiki says, quiet. “It’s ok. Instead of shovin’ it back inside completely, can you try just...lettin’ it out? Just a little bit?”
He has no clue how any of this works, but maybe a half-measure is better than trying to force it all at once.
“Okay,” Hikaru says, but it sounds like a sob. More of the unknowable, incomprehensible swirl leaks out into the dark room.
“Yoshiki – shit – ‘m sorry but can I…” Hikaru’s face – what’s visible behind the bloom of him – twists in a small kind of agony. “Can I touch you? Not much. Just – ”
It's been years since Hikaru first took the body of Yoshiki's dead best friend. Despite everything - every horror and hurt - they managed to find a home in each other. Not quite friends or family. More and not. What they have is complicated, but precious.
But when Yoshiki escapes their small town – to college, to Tokyo – Hikaru follows. And things start to change for them both.

Bookmarker's Notes
Really love this. My favorite part on tshd is, of course, the internal struggles and introspection the characters go through, and this fic captures that perfectly. I'm glad it was my first fic in this fandom, it's exactly what I wanted.
Re-read for sure.

Summary
"Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”
“Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”
“Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”
Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

Summary
Blitzø thought this would be easy, a quickie, over and done with in a flash. It was just business, having sex with the prince in exchange for his magic book. Impersonal, but effective. Simple. But when Stolas starts looking at him like that, like he was someone special, Blitzø ends up staying a bit longer than he intended.
Or, a take on how their “Real Fast” first night together went down.

Summary
"You don't even know me."
"Does that really matter?"
Makoto was quiet again for a while, his eyes falling shut. When he finally turned his gaze on Ryoji again, his expression was cold.
"I'm not sure what about me you find so fascinating," he uttered. "You shouldn't bother sharing so much of yourself with me, Mochizuki. I'll probably make you sad."
Ryoji stared at him wide eyed, his lips parting to speak, but no sound coming out. He felt his heart flutter in his chest again, and he leaned down so that they were eye to eye. Makoto didn't flinch away. He held Ryoji's gaze, challenging him to object. After a moment, Ryoji offered a warm smile.
"I think you have that backwards," he said, his eyes squinting slightly at the corners. "I don't know much, but one thing that I know for certain is that your heart is unbelievably kind."
Makoto's gaze wavered, his breath catching. He let his eyes wander back to the looming silhouette of Tartarus in the distance, and he reached up to brush his bangs from his eyes.
"You don't know anything, then."
--
Mochizuki Ryoji feels an almost supernatural connection to his dorm mate, Yuuki Makoto. Of course, that's by design.

Summary
Gojo had accepted what his relationship with Geto was. They were 'Satoru and Suguru, platonic life partners.'
Sure, sometimes he still wondered how all that thick black hair would feel slipping through his fingers. Sometimes he dreamt about what it would be like to press into the space between them and get a taste of what he really wanted.
But what they had was fine. Definitely, completely fine.
***
Geto had to stop this ridiculous pining.Satoru was his best friend. His everything, really. They would die for each other, and Geto knew that.
But Satoru would never be his boyfriend. If Geto’s stupid heart hadn’t realized that by now, then he’d just have to take a more proactive approach to get over his crush.
***
(At 20 years old - sharing an apartment and joint Jujutsu missions - Geto and Gojo are inseparable. But it takes Geto going on a first date for them to start to figure out their feelings.) -

Summary
“That’s… This can’t be real, right?” Yuji’s prior confidence had left him. “And even if it was, it’s never that easy. Knowing my shitty luck, I’ll just end up making it worse. We shouldn’t screw around here unless we have to.”
“While there is wisdom to be had in your caution, don’t paint yourself in such a negative light.” Choso wondered if Sukuna was to blame for the sudden shift in his attitude. The curse had been silent since Yuji had reclaimed his control over his body, but that was only from the perspective of an outside observer. There was no telling what Sukuna was up to while hidden in a place Choso’s ears couldn’t reach.
“Not even if it’s true?”
♦ Yuji and Choso separated from the rest of their makeshift team while on their way to meet Master Tengen, find themselves displaced eleven years in the past. How this came to be is uncertain, but with the opportunity to prevent the disasters of their time from ever transpiring at their fingertips, how can they sit idly by and wait for the world to catch up to the grim reality they left behind?

Summary
“I think I dropped my scroll on the field!” Skara sets her bag down on the bench, anxiety and defeat weighing on her shoulders. “My dad just bought that for me and now it’s gonna be fried in the rain. He’s gonna ki-” She pauses, glances quickly at Hunter with an apologetic grimace. “He’s gonna be so upset with me.” She amends.
“Oh, that’s fine. I’ll go get it for you.” Hunter scowls at his scroll. Really, these typos are starting to get on his nerves. He’ll demand another typing lesson when he gets back to the house.
He jabs at the power button—the only button he can really trust the consistency of—and marches toward the door.
“Wait, Hunter, what-?”
And he walks right out into the boiling rain.

Or, Hunter forgets that most witches aren't immune to boiling rain, actually.

Summary
When Eda Clawthorne finally trudged her way through the Owl House’s front door, her plans for the afternoon were simply to down a glass of apple blood, make herself lunch, and see how long she could nap before King or Luz inevitably needed her help with some quirky misadventure. Those plans most certainly did not include Hooty depositing a half-dead, very familiar teenager on the couch right as she’d been about to start on frying up something for lunch.
“Holy Titan,” she cursed, taking in the injuries that littered the Golden Guard’s prone form and the little cracked palisman in his hand. “What in the world happened?”
For the moment, at least, it seemed like lunch would have to wait.
(Or the one in which Hunter gets accidentally adopted and re-evaluates his entire life, Eda acquires a new kid and also definitely isn’t still crushing on Raine Whispers, Luz struggles with bard magic and teaches Hunter about pancakes, King is adorable as always, and Hooty is… well, Hooty is Hooty. Featuring loads of found family content, a healthy serving of angst, old and young gays being totally in love, and- best of all- a stuffed shark named Claude.)

Summary
The brighter the light, the darker the shadows. And in a super-powered society, those shadows are dark indeed. But whilst the world desperately trained more and more heroes, making that light brighter and brighter, the prestigious hero school, UA, had another idea. Why not tackle the problem at its source?
And so was born the infamous class 1-A. Would-be criminals from all over the country were selected, and a group of twenty now roam the halls of the school, alongside the heroes of the next generation.
Last year, the entirety of Mr Aizawa’s class A graduated. But this year was different. No, he didn’t believe they would all graduate back into society like the classes before them. He believed they could become something bigger. That was why, with gritted teeth and a manic smile, Eraser Head turned to his new class of students and said:
"You aren't villains - you never were, and you never will be. But you can take that fire inside of you and put it to good use. We're in a hero school, aren't we? Well then...
"Let's be heroes."

Either the guy is too distracted to notice the slip or too tired to care, and for once, Bokuto thanks his lucky stars that someone isn't paying all that much attention to him. "Akaashi."

Summary
He can still feel Kirishima’s gaze on him when he finishes eating, so he shoots him a sideways glare and says, “Stop being fucking coy.”
“Huh?” Kirishima asks, blinking and looking away like that’d convince Bakugou he hadn’t just been staring.
“Man up,” Bakugou hisses at him. “If there’s something you want, then fucking say it.”
Kirishima goes quiet, again, and Bakugou can practically hear the gears turning in his head. If he keeps this up, he’s going to burn out whatever brain he still has. Just as Bakugou’s about to scoff and tell him so, Kirishima leans in so that their faces are too close together.
“What,” Bakugou says, every one of his muscles locking up as he fights conflicting urges to lean closer and edge away from Kirishima’s proximity.
“You stopped me, last time,” Kirishima tells him, lips curled into a pout. “Are you going to let me say it, now?”
Kirishima has always made things easy for Bakugou. But that doesn't mean that Bakugou's gotten any better at these things, even after all of these years.
