Summary
Hide hasn’t kissed anyone since he was seventeen. He knows he’s supposed to reciprocate while this is happening--he’s not stupid--but the contract is making quick work on him. It’s like the screws of his soul are being loosened and ripped out, like his shelling is being pried off so he’s just pieces of machinery quickly losing the pipelines that keep them connected.
“Gestalt theory,” Investigator Mado had written up on the board during training once. “The sum of the parts is greater than the parts themselves. Usually a psychological term, but perfectly applicable to biology and magic, too. Contracts rely on it.”
He thought he understood the theory before, but in the midst of actually being disassembled, the meaning is five thousand times more personal.
...He doesn’t know exactly when he stopped being alive.

Summary
The war has run its course, the bodies have decayed, the dust has been kicked up and settled--now all the world can do now is busy itself with picking up the pieces left behind.
Progress has been made, with cities and systems slowly coming back to life. But it’s already taken over four decades. And that's four decades too many.
Dave Strider has always lived among the dirt and ruins, and he’s not going to waste his time or breath dreaming that things could be different. He’s holding his own, treading wherever the currents may take him. Everything’s fine. He’s fine.
Karkat Vantas, protester-turned-reluctant-revolutionary and assface extraordinaire, seems absolutely hellbent on proving him wrong.

Summary
Stealing wallets is less a question of morality, and more a question of survival, nowadays.

Summary
Midoriya is living six year-old him's wildest fantasy, cruising through the cosmos under the wing of space's number one bounty hunter, All Might, as his protégé.
He receives top-of-the-line training. He dogs down criminals. He suffers through All Might's terrible cooking.
When a dangerous man with an impressive price tag falls into their scope, Midoriya's expecting a manhunt. Not a brawl against the universe's up-and-coming, best-and-brightest bounty hunters.
And certainly not Todoroki Shouto.

Summary
It was a vibrant, sunny morning when you had woken up and thought on a whim, ‘Throw everything you’ve got at me, universe. For once in my miserable lifetime, I’m absolutely positive that I can take it.’
Three hours later, when you found yourself pinned between the asphalt and a car smack outside a burning city, in desperate need of painkillers, a weapon, and possibly an amputation, you screamed curses at the same entity for being so damn cruel.
The universe, being the smug, tyrannical motherfucker it has been and always will be, seemed to shrug back and say, "Well sorry, Vantas."
"You asked for it."

Summary
As Kaneki stands in the checkout line and realizes that the majority of the clothes he’d picked out were turtleneck sweaters, he can finally admit that he has a problem.
(Inspired by the AU where things written/drawn on someone's skin show up on their soulmate's skin as well.)
