    Summary

    Husk is a down on his luck drunk who’s running out of money and second chances when he lands a job at The Mirage, the last queer speakeasy still standing in 1937 New York City. It’s a decent job and nothing more—until Friday night, when he first catches sight of the club’s star dancer, Angel, and an instant attraction threatens to turn his whole world upside down.

    Angel is juggling two lives, a mob boss’s son by day and a cabaret dancer under the thumb of a cruel pimp by night. He loves the crowds, the glamor, the excitement, but he pays a heavy price for all of it, a price nobody but the new bartender seems to see.

    Both men have the odds stacked against them, but they can’t help but be drawn to each other. Still, after the cards they’ve been dealt, it’s hard to believe in happy endings. Can coked out whores and washed up drunks like them ever really make it out of the gutter?

    A Huskerdust-centric human AU set in 1930s New York.

    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.

    Summary

    When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

    Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!
