Summary

But now she’s pulling away from him. It makes his chest tight with anxiety. He doesn’t like—being ignored. He doesn’t like being forgotten.

“Did I do something wrong?” he asks Gran, and Gran frowns.

“No, kid, it isn’t you,” he says, and then he doesn’t say anything else.

Toshinori can't accept that, so he does the only thing he can think of. He tries to be better.

take up the sword by SpiritusRex for Effervescent_Gem

Summary

“I can be a good weapon, I promise.”

Toshinori stares at the boy who spoke, looking into the widest, youngest eyes he thinks he has ever seen on a swordsman. They are quite literally evergreen, a green as new as spring grass.

But they are dull, too. Matte as a dark metal sword that glints only when the light hits its sharpened edges at a certain angle.

A twisted, knotted feeling stirs in Toshinori’s stomach. He swallows hard. “What is your name?”

The boy denies him, shaking his head. “I have been trained to be your sword,” he says.

Summary

The new scarf Mr. Aizawa wraps around her head is soft, and so few things left in this world are. Eri can’t help but ball the ends of it up in her tiny palms, relishing the gentle give of the plush fabric when she clenches her fists. Her old scarf was so ratty and worn, in comparison this new scarf feels like she's holding onto a cloud. She wonders where he found it. Or where he took it from.

“You already know that you have to keep this on no matter what,” Mr. Aizawa says sternly. His face is as grim and gray as the sky above them. “But if it does come off, and someone sees your horn, what do you tell them?”

“A random meta did it to me,” Eri whispers.

Summary

Izuku is sliding on his seat more quickly and recklessly than the others, driving harder with his legs, snapping his arms down in sharp, urgent motions. But it’s familiar. This isn’t new. They’ve raced in this exact lineup dozens of times before, and Izuku has always managed to keep pace. Always.

But after they’ve been rowing for a while, the same exhaustion that has been dogging him all day creeps back into his bones.

In a fast-paced sport like crew, injuries can happen just as fast if you aren't rested enough.

Summary

Katsuki throws his blankets aside and leaps out of bed, not taking his eyes off of Izuku for even a heartbeat. This may or may not even be real, but he feels like if he blinks Izuku will disappear, vanishing into the darkness without even leaving a note this time.

The more time he spends taking in Izuku, the stronger his doubts about reality become. The other boy is wearing his UA uniform, tie knotted in that terrible way he always has it, but… that isn’t right. Izuku had left his uniform behind in his room when he’d run off to play vigilante. Besides the wardrobe not making sense, something about Izuku as a whole is… indistinct. His form isn't solid—he isn't really sharing this physical space with Katsuki. Instead, his edges are soft and wispy. They give the appearance that Izuku is dispersing into the air one molecule at a time, untethered and ghostly.

"What is this?" Katsuki asks, narrowing his eyes.

Izuku has a hard request to make of Katsuki.

annoying your boyfriend as a love language by prydon

Fandoms: The Penumbra Podcast

Summary

Peter Nureyev has been dating Juno Steel for several months now, and so he knows that the lady is a lot of things: he's a genius with a blaster, looks stunning in a dress, and is the best detective on this side of the asteroid belt. He is also, at times, incredibly annoying.
Nureyev hadn’t thought much of this at first, but over time he discovers that Juno’s willingness to tease him relentlessly may be more meaningful than he first realized—and proof of the strength of their relationship.

Here's one thing he's not right now: conscious.

'Nureyev,
I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.
I guess I just need to get some stuff off my chest. It’s easier when I know you’re never gonna’ read this.'

Juno writes letters to Nureyev, sure Nureyev will never see them.
...Except of course he does.

Summary

A loud rumble could be heard in the distance. “Mighty!” Izuku perked up, trying to see if Mighty had returned on his own.

No such luck.

Behind him, Katsuki cursed. “Avalanche!”

Or the one where Katsuki and Izuku have to work together when faced with an avalanche. Much to their dismay.
