    Summary

    “Don’t look at me,” Izuku hissed. Shame rattled in his chest like a hornet’s nest stinging him all over with indignity. “Please don’t look.”

    Izuku tried then to shove Katsuki away, ignoring the agonizing ache in his body. Katsuki glowered and easily caught his wrists, forcing him to still. They made eye contact and crimson eyes were wild, far deadlier than Izuku had ever witnessed in another person.

    “Who.” Katsuki spoke simply. “Tell me who did this to you.”

    Summary

    Katsuki always believed the first emotion he felt about the mysterious man was anger. Unchecked, pure fucking resentment. He thought the bitter emotion coursed through him like a raging river and struck lightning on every nerve he had.

    But when he truly thought back on it—the first emotion he felt wasn’t anger. It wasn't even hate or mild dislike.

    It was morbid curiosity.

    Summary

    Izuku always grew up believing promises were the most precious thing anyone could give to another person. There was an undefined beauty in how delicate yet strong they were: never easily broken and binding in a way that the people who forge them never forget. As if they had created a red string that tied them to their word through the chaos of life.

    So here he stands: in a world where two powerful countries are at war tied between two conflicting promises. One to his childhood friend and the other to his country.

    But his heart only resided with one.

    Summary

    Izuku's never seen a wolf.

    Until the night Katsuki Bakugou barges into his inn asking for a room.

    *****

    The stranger is bare-chested, and bare footed. He’s wearing only a heavy fur-trimmed red cloak, spattered with rain, and a pair of pants held up with a leather belt slung low on his hips. His toes curl against the wood before he stalks forward.

    Izuku swallows, pushing Inko behind him. She peeks over his shoulder on tip-toe, her fingers digging into his bicep.

    “He’s not wearing any shoes,” she whispers, as if that’s the oddest thing about him. A noise pushes its way out of Izuku’s throat.

    Author's note 2023: Fic is currently on HIATUS. May undergo a rewrite before continuation.

    Summary

    The potion was supposed to help him understand. Knowledge is the key to understanding the Northerners that have been hiding in the mountains ever since the Great War of the Empire. Now that the Northerners have begun to migrate south, Izuku takes the chance to learn as much as he can about the secluded race. He wanted to study their way of life, their dynamics, and most of all, their customs. What he didn't expect is the hands on lesson in anatomy after going into heat by an apex predator. There's a first time for everything, right?
