Summary
Todoroki's pretty like this, he thinks—well, he's pretty all the time but now—with the sun hitting him in just the right way, face pulled into a determined scowl as he dodges yet another pothole, and hair pulled back into a French braid—courtesy of Sero himself— he's... well actually Sero's not sure there's a word to properly describe him right now.
He settles on beautiful.
Sero and Todoroki go on a road trip to see the Grand Canyon and experience emotions

Summary
The three were silent for a while, just window-browsing for a while to get a scope of the place—it was really only to get a few things and then set up an actual gameplan with the others for a proper run anyway.
A squeal from his right made Bakugou almost snap his neck from how fast he whipped around to see what it was.
Standing in front of a store was Kaminari, starry-eyed and smiling from ear to ear as he peered in through the windows. Bakugou looked up at the sign and then into the store. A bookstore, of course, the nerd. He couldn’t help but grin a bit himself at the scene; it wasn’t often that any of them got excited over anything anymore after all.

Summary
Sero loved his family, really truly, he just didn't have the energy to keep up with their usual bantering that day. They showed their love through sharp jabs and sharper insults, and some days it was harder to keep up and fling them back.
"Why so quiet, mijo?"
"Sorry, ma, just tired."
Sitting to his left was his uncle, who, on hearing that Sero was tired, took it upon himself to elbow him in his side.
"Of course, bet you're staying up all night talking to the ladies, eh?"
Sero's family were in for a surprise and not everyone was going to like it, and Todoroki works behind the scenes to support his boyfriend in distress.

Summary
Neil is nothing and everything all at once, the entire universe for Andrew, however small of a universe that is. Even Aaron is starting to see it, though the pieces still don't line up.
And Andrew is trying to convince Aaron that he's never jealous? Yeah right. You don't spend your entire life being denied, being hurt, going through foster care with nothing to call your own only to be okay with someone else trying to take the one bright piece of life you call yours.
Or, Aaron is done with Andrew's shit and makes it his job to prove his brother wrong.

Summary
“It was a kid,” Yagi gasped out. He had his hand balled up into a fist and the fist pressed to his lips, as if to remind himself that he could not start screaming. “Or. Young person, maybe 20. Homeless, I think. Activated their Quirk on reflex and then ran. The kids—” Here, he pressed his fist harder to his mouth, sucked in a wheezing breath, as if the air itself was pushing down something with physical weight. “The kids—”
“Scattered immediately,” Aizawa finished for him, and Yagi managed a nod.
Yagi’s eyes were so dilated that the blue was almost invisible. He shook violently. He looked like a scarecrow in a windstorm.
Someone activated a Fear-Inducer Quirk so powerful that it reduced All Might to this— of course Aizawa’s class had bolted.
Or:
A Fear Gas fic, BNHA style.

The fear these poor kids have and continue to face as heroes in training breaks my heart, and this was such a good representation of the traumas these poor babies hold.

Summary
Neil gets drugged at Eden's. Again. They get him back quickly, but the parallels fuck with everyone and reveal what happened with Nicky the first time around.
But Andrew remains flawed, so doesn’t know anything is happening until he hears Nicky gasp. Nicky makes a lot of unnecessary noises, so this one isn’t especially concerning—not until Nicky’s hand flashes out to grip Andrew’s arm and he says, “Andrew,” with such strained urgency that Andrew’s head erupts into a riot of alarms.
He follows Nicky’s pointed finger and sees, through the thick forest of bodies, Neil. With some guy. Kissing. He’s out of his stool almost before he can consciously register the scene, leaving the scarred black metal toppling to the ground behind him and shoving into the crowd. Something is very wrong. Neil had been too still. Too loose. An unstringed puppet. Andrew knows what Neil looks like when he wants to kiss someone, and that—that isn’t it.

Bookmarker's Notes
At first, I had also thought that Andrew was part of orchestrating Nicky’s part in the whole Eden incident, and I was so upset with that entire group for doing something like that to Neil. Even now, and this isn’t to say I hate or even really dislike him but, I still don’t fully like Nicky. I like that this acknowledged that.
