Summary
Shouto doesn't need a quirk to be a hero, and as far as he's concerned, he doesn't need anyone's help, either.
Midoriya Izuku might just change his mind.

Summary
“We save whoever we can,” Saltbeard had said on the television. The dwarf's face had been tight with frustrated strain, his weathered face lined with grief. “And if that’s not everyone, we get up the next morning and do our damn best to make it so that next time, it will be.”
Spellbound, Hamid had nodded along. Then he’d run into his bedroom to change into something presentable. An hour later, he’d walked into the meritocratic offices and asked how one applied to become a hero.
***
After months of training, Hamid has learned to control his superpowers, and hardly ever grows scales without meaning to. But when his mentor and their handler go missing on the morning of his debut, Hamid and his team are sent to investigate. As the team uncovers a plot that may shake the foundations of hero society, Hamid struggles to believe not only in the Meritocracy, but in himself.

Summary
Jon is not an idiot. Contrary to what some of the people who love him might believe, he’s not even entirely oblivious to social cues, though he’ll admit they elude him perhaps more often than is standard.
All of this to say that in the week following their escape from the Lonely, as Martin graduates from shy smiling glances and tentative clutching of clammy hands to full-bellied laughter and warm, steady embraces, Jon is fully capable of figuring out where things are going.
***
Some thoughts about kissing and self-sacrifice.

Summary
Across the water, climbing up the other side of the slope, was a figure she recognized as Rand al’Thor. He stood out, of course—taller than any wetlander, with the fire-red hair of an Aiel, but even if he had been dressed in cadin’sor and not shirt and trousers, he would not have known how to become part of the Threefold Land. Out of his gaudy red coat, though, he could almost pass for a true Aiel—not a warrior, not dressed like that, but perhaps a blacksmith. His shoulders were nearly broad enough.

Summary
"Bet you five quid that Flesh domain we're avoiding wouldn't have been as gross as this," Martin grumbles, wrenching his feet out of the oozing black mud trying to swallow him.
Jon pauses up ahead, not even out of breath; the ground isn't trying to eat him. Maybe, like Helen, it thinks the smug little bastard would give it indigestion.
"I'd say I'd feel too bad to take your money," he says, tone playfully superior, "but honestly it isn't as though it would be much of a loss nowadays."
***
It may be the end times, but it's still a road trip of sorts, right? So, in grand tradition, Jon and Martin make up silly games to entertain themselves.

Summary
Kip likes Hunter’s teammates more than he expected to, which is to say not all that much.
Some of them are good—some of them are great—some of them are terrible, and a lot of them just have no idea how to talk to a queer person.

Summary
When you’re going up in flames, sometimes other people can smell the smoke. On the flip side, at least: when you’re on fire, sometimes other people can feel the warmth.
Or, scenes from Home Economics, told from the perspective of everyone else.

Summary
Chilchuck erupted from his bedroll in one smooth movement that carried through his body into his hand, almost as if he’d been laying awake the whole time and plotting exactly how he was going to do it; and before Palinode understood anything, he had bounced a boot very hard off her human’s head.
His Dark Materials/Daemon AU.
In a setting where human souls take the form of separate animals, everyone knows that dog-souls are servants or soldiers - and Laios hadn’t wanted to be either.

Summary
“I am out for the season?”
“Probably."
“Are you by any chance looking for a trophy husband?”
“Ilya.”
“Yes? No?”
“It’s one season, Ilya, we’re not—it’s bad because you’re hurting, not because—I’m not letting this fuck anything up for us, okay? We’ll figure something out,” Shane says, resolutely.
or, you know what they say about the best laid plans
ilya’s first year in ottawa looks a little different than originally planned, maybe sort of because he ends up spending it recovering a broken leg in his boyfriend’s apartment, but probably mostly because he meets jackie pike

Bookmarker's Notes
Wilf meets Eleven, and has a thoughtful conversation with him. One of the best examinations of Eleven and Ten and the implications of regeneration that I've seen, and of what it means to be the Doctor.
