Summary
Whenever you see an injured bird, your first thought is how vulnerable it is. How easy it would be to break it, to tear the flesh and bone and feathers, to wrench its wings from it’s body. The part of you that is still a war slave catalogs the weak points, the places to find as to tear if more easily. The beast thinks about how to use the flesh, the bones, the feathers. How to take every part of it for yourself.
You don’t listen to your first thoughts often.

Summary
Fear has dug it’s heads into the gyri of her brain, and caresses the sulci with delicate razor sharp fingers. Her thoughts fall disjointed, out of order, scattered. Primal panic overrides her higher brain functions, shuts off all unnecessary tools for survival.
She has lost her faith. And now all that’s left is the sensation of being followed. Of faintly hearing footsteps that stop whenever she stops walking, of flickering shadows and a sicking feeling in her chest. She has spent so much time under somebody else's thumb, so much time as a tool, a pawn, in somebody else's game. She though she escaped.

Summary
why does life slumber? because life slumbers. it is a tautology, a truism — it is akin to saying red is the opposite of green because green is the opposite of red. it’s recursive — they ask the dreamers, why does life slumber? they do not ask the ones who've never been in a dream, who’s whole life has been looking out into the snow. she thinks that if your life was different, you would have a different answer, and after every id-suicide, you would have a different answer.

Let it spill onto your teeth,
Canines sharp. You, pink
And devoted, cunning and
Cruel. You, the mirror of
Her. The thunder.

That matters.) -

Summary
The Navidson house over on Ash Tree Lane has taken another victim. But don't be concerned, listeners; we'll all feel very silly for worrying about this when Zampanò and the others turn up unharmed.

Summary
[edit 10/28/25; this series is DISCONTINUED. there will not be a part 2. author is deeply humiliated by how poor the writing in this is and does not plan to continue any past MHA fics.]
Kaminari decides to transfer to UA's General Education course, after a long battle with ADHD, dyslexia, and executive dysfunction, that built up into him realizing that he could never be a hero.
He is surprised when Class 3-A doesn't take that too well.
OR
Kaminari leaves, and nobody likes that fact but him (and maybe Recovery Girl, but she's biased because she finally gets the intern she's always wanted).

Summary
Faust unceremoniously placed a bag filled with liquid on top of the weekly stack of freshly laundered uniforms already in Don Quixote’s arms.
“Sinner Don Quixote, it has been decided by Limbus Company that this shall be added to your weekly supplies on occasion going forward.” Faust explained.
Don Quixote looked down at it, tilting her head.
It was a blood bag. Well, the mundane plastic human kind. A blood pack, more properly.
———
When Don Quixote is gifted some extra supplies, she has quite a lot to process.
About her relationship to everyone else, and to herself.
