    Summary

    “I’m thinking of ending things.”

    James pressed his lips together hard as he fought the urge to suck in a breath at the words. He instinctively reached for his binder of prepared materials and began to flip through it as if it would have the answer, rustling the pages frantically as he did.

    “Hello?”

    James flinched. “Um, hi, yes sorry it’s uh-- it’s my first day.”

    A pause. Then, dry as a bone: “Brilliant. You’d think they’d at least train you to tell people not to kill themselves before handing you a phone.”

    James froze, then panicked. “Oh God-- you’re right, I mean, of course-- I didn’t-- oh, shit, I just--”

    James’s rambling was interrupted by a quiet sound, over so quickly he almost missed it.

    The caller had laughed.

    At him.

    OR

    A muggle college AU where James is a Psychology student who starts working at a crisis center. His first caller is dry, guarded, and somehow familiar, despite being a perfect stranger. Night after night their conversations continue, blurring all the lines between them, until the caller finally makes a choice that changes both their lives forever.

    Summary

    "I’m fine," Neil snapped, pulling the hem of his jersey down as if that would hide the state he was in. "It’s just a cut."

    "It’s not just a cut," Andrew said, stepping closer. "You’d have gone back out there half-conscious if they hadn’t pulled you."

    "Because the game’s not over!" Neil’s voice rose now, frustration lacing every word. "We’re down by two points, Andrew. Two points. Do you know what that means?"

    Andrew stared at him, unimpressed. "It means you’re an idiot who doesn’t know when to quit."

    Neil stood, wincing slightly but ignoring the pain. "It means we could’ve won if they’d just let me finish. You think I care about a little bruise? I’ve played through worse."

    Andrew’s eyes narrowed, his expression blank, but Neil could see the tightness in his shoulders, the way his fists clenched at his sides. "And that’s exactly the problem. What if the racquet had been faster? Or what if it wasn’t just a mistake and an intentional swing? What happens when you don’t get back up next time?"

    Summary

    It had started in the Underground. A fight for power--for control. In a single night, everything changed.

    Amatsu was born from the embers of a lost life, raised out of the blood of those who got in his way. He was a killer, a wrath all feared but none could contend with. He was invincible in the Underground, walking in the shadows as a part of them, and a terror to the villains and heroes above. Where he walked, blood was spilled and souls were forever marked by the string of fate.

    But under the mask, under the blood and fear and reputation, what was left of Izuku? He was Amatsu. That was what Father named him. That was who he would be. It was who Father made him to be. Even if it meant he had to break himself against the world, he would serve his purpose and make Father proud.

    Summary

    He had been there for three years. Three years and he was almost free. Now if only they would keep the deal.

    Midoriya Izuku wound up in a fighting ring when he was fourteen. Forced there by the people who chained him. Told to fight, told to win. No one believed he could. He was impossible odds. He was Muri.

    Summary

    After the encounter with All Might sucks the hope out of Izuku, he finds himself in another situation with a villain. This time, though, it’s at night and it isn’t All Might who saves the day, but a slippery guy who welcomes Izuku’s help. He fills the spot of admiration that All Might had had in Izuku’s heart. Izuku doesn’t let the fact that the guy doesn’t have a hero’s license bother him.

    OR

    Izuku befriends a vigilante and gets ingrained into a world that’s all ‘gray area’. At some point he even finds himself interacting with people who have stepped over the line into the ‘villains’ side. Izuku might spend a little time over the line too. Or a significant amount of time. Depends on who you ask.
    During the same time, Bakugou wonders who his teacher, Eraserhead, must be chasing to give him so much grief.

    Summary

    Izuku learned at a very young age that love is conditional. Love is a reward for following the rules, love is reserved for those who are worthy of it, for those who are loveable.
    Izuku was not loveable, well at least not according to anyone he'd ever met.
    All he ever wanted to do was help people, to be someone worthy of loving but at 12 years old he's left with nothing and no one. Living on the streets he has to make his own way in life and maybe help some of the people in this community he's found himself in.
    Follow his journey as Izuku skirts the line of the law saving people and maybe even finding someone who thinks he's worth loving.

    Summary

    Villains across Musutafu are going missing. A mysterious quirk specialist appears in the underworld of the Red Light District.

    Nedzu decodes a message from a missing boy that reveals the secret behind All Might's quirk. The Shie Hassaikai get themselves a 'qualified' alchemist to create their quirk nullification bullets. The anonymous boss of the League of Villains has his eye on a certain quirk specialist who may be able to help him acquire One for All. The Hero Commission get wind of a vigilante who is behind the revolutionary quirk-enhancing technology.

    Too many convenient coincidences lead Tsukauchi and Eraserhead to look deeper into the missing persons case of a boy named Izuku Midoriya and the less-than-legal quirk specialist Deku.

    The race to find the boy before the Hero Commission, or the League, commences!

     

    OR

     

    Midoriya becomes a vigilante selling quirk support items to villains to catch them, and catches the eye of too many important people because of his skillset and damning knowledge of One for All.

    Summary

    It was all Nicky’s fault.
    Well, technically it was Andrew’s stupidity’s fault, but he was going to ignore it and blame Nicky anyway. They were at Nicky’s for Thanksgiving when the pest popped up the question he would ask every family gathering.
    “So, Andrew…” he paused dramatically, because why wouldn’t he. “Are you still single?
    And that had been it. Andrew was tired, he was working on a case that took a lot from him. A thirteen-year-old boy who had been raped by his stepbrother since he was seven and it was hitting way too close to home that it had given Andrew nightmares. He hadn’t had a good night of sleep for almost three weeks now. So he could be excused when his sleep-deprived ass had blurted out. “Neil’s my boyfriend.”
    His heart came to an abrupt stop the moment the words left his mouth. He felt his mask of indifference begin to crack as he looked across the table to where Neil was looking at him, a spoonful of mashed potatoes halfway to his open mouth.

    Summary

    Without help, without strength or any escape - what could he do? What point was there in fighting or even praying? Even if something heard him, would it even bother to get off its inhuman ass and actually help him? Probably not. That didn’t stop him from trying. He closed his eyes tightly and called out to the universe, to any entity that might hear him and hopefully be willing to help him.

    ‘I will give anything, everything; my soul, my life, my body - if someone helps me. Please. I want to fight, but I can’t do it alone. Help me, and you can have my life, my soul, my first born child. I don’t care. Please, help me!’
    _____
    OR: Izuku calls for help from the universe - and someone or something answers. The offer to escape his horrible reality is easily taken. Izuku is thrust into the afterlife, still alive and human, and must learn what it means to be Soulbound, to one day become a keeper of the afterlife and all the souls that have ever existed.

    Summary

    “His quirk will get attention no matter where he goes. But if he ends up working with heroes then he’ll have their protection. That’s why I said most doctors and nurses have minor healing quirks- because people with powerful ones often catch the attention of heroes, who will in turn protect them from any villains who also have their eye on them.”

    “Oh! Okay. Okay… this… this is a lot…. Heh, and I was worried he’d breathe fire…”

    “Don’t ever forget- Izuku’s quirk is a good thing. He just needs to be a bit more careful than most children.” 
    _________

    Midoriya Izuku wants to become a hero. Midoriya Izuku is born with a healing quirk. He learns how to save people a different way.

    Summary

    "The tragic reality is," Gojo started, all fake distress as he draped himself over the table, hand to his head in a mock impression of distress. "Is that I'm not dateable, my dear friend. Just fuckable."

    Satoru had known this for years now, all his past 'friendships' turning out to be nothing more but ploys to get him into bed with at least a little bit of tact. It shouldn't hurt now, after all he knew what he was like. Selfish. Annoying. Ungrateful. A nuisance. But how could he stop when it was the only way to make people tolerate him, to form some sort of connection no matter how shallow it might be?

    Suguru, however, didn't care for all that. All he knew was that suddenly he couldn't go anywhere without a certain individual always one step behind him not matter how he turned down all his flirtatious offers. But as he learns more about the person behind the mask of Gojo Satoru, his feelings grow, but what can he do except stamp them out? After all... he can't turn into just one of yet another faceless individual who only values Satoru for what he can do and what he looks like.

    Or, "easy" Gojo has massive self esteem issues and craves connection more than anything while Suguru panics over his feelings

    Summary

    Remus Lupin is freshly twenty years old and sitting on a park bench in central London, he has a squashed pastry bag next to him and a cup of tea clutched between perpetually cold fingers.

    He moved to London eight months ago in search of a new doctor after having grown up on a little farm in Wales, and he hasn’t taken well to city life. He's taken to this park mostly because the trees are dense, the people are sparse, and there are birds. Nice ones that sing and hop from bench to bench scavenging for dropped bits of food or else pulling worms from the earth. Today he’s watching a pair of ducks glide easily across the pond. He thinks they must have a nest nearby, and in a few weeks there will be ducklings.

    Or...

    Remus Lupin has always been sick, and he'd just like to feel normal for once. Sirius Black seems like the perfect man with a perfect, exciting life.

    Summary

    Shouto Todoroki wakes up to a spacious apartment, the pro-hero lifestyle he's always dreamt of, and a hot boyfriend who cooks him dinner. One slight problem: last he checked, he was in his UA dorm room, most definitely celibate, and pro-hero work was nothing more than a lofty goal. Also, there is a very high chance his hot boyfriend is Katsuki Bakugou, with whom Shouto can barely count five exchanges that didn't consist solely of insults and threats to his life.

    Meanwhile, minding his own damn business at UA, Katsuki finds himself plagued by a Todoroki who barely acts like himself and addresses him like he's a particularly rambunctious stray kitten.

    Alternatively: Todoroki and his future self swap places. Long-repressed breakthroughs and hijinks ensue.
