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.

no solution but to let the pieces fall where they fall by SpiritusRex
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
15 May 2025

Summary
On Izuku's desk in the UA teacher's office sits a small desk organizer, a cheap thing made partly of synthesized wood and partly of plastic, with a few drawers for papers and office supplies. In it, Izuku keeps extra pens, paperclips, his current journal, and printed copies of every invitation to join someone's agency that he's received since getting his suit.
Every one of his friends with their own agency has sent him one. Open hands extended towards him, ready to lift him up into the world he's so late arriving to. The only friend he doesn't have an actual physical and official written invitation from is Katsuki, who always springs it on him verbally when Izuku is least ready for it, as if trying to startle Izuku into accepting.
That doesn't make the offer less real to Izuku, though. In fact, it's probably the only one that he finds himself fighting off thoughts of the most. The only one he ever feels genuinely tempted—despite his efforts not to be—to accept.
After his triumphant return to hero work, Izuku's friends notice that he has rejected any and every offer he's gotten to join an agency.
They decide a bit of an intervention is in order.

Deku's Rules of the Universe by SpiritusRex for Arizbeth_2942
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
18 Dec 2024

Summary
There are, Izuku thinks, a few immutable laws of the universe. Laws that are baked into the coding of the ways the world works. Fundamental building blocks that dictate just a few core principles that reality cannot operate without.
First; gravity is somewhat essential. (Although Izuku knows Uraraka will argue this one with him. He only lists it first when she is out of earshot.)
Second; there will always be smaller things that bigger things can eat to live. (Survival of the fittest, Kacchan would call it. The circle of life, Shouto would say instead.)
Third; Midoriya Izuku will find a way to break himself with anything good that is given to him.
Izuku gets stuck. But it's more complicated than that.

Summary
The smaller knife goes through Izuku’s ankle from the front, scraping his bones as it forces its way between them and emerges out the other side with a spray of blood. His ragged cry tears through the stairway.
A red haze of pain covers his vision, and he brings down the axe on instinct now. A wounded animal striking out, aiming blindly for what hurt him—for the arm still holding the knife.
Blood splatters up onto his face. Wet and warm.
New teacher Izuku, grading papers alone in the school during the still-dark hours of the morning, finds himself the target of a mysterious and violent coordinated attack.

Summary
If he hasn’t drawn blood yet, he’ll make sure to. Izuku doesn’t want anyone to think he went down without a fight. With what little strength he has, he digs in.
“You’re pathetic,” the older boy above him spits, seemingly unfazed by any pain. “I’m going to leave your body for him to find– show him he chose wrong.”
All for One has lived for a long time. He's left quite a few loose ends out in the world.

Summary
“Do you want a blanket?” Sam asks, interrupting their little stalemate.
Danny, hands still holding Tucker’s face away from his own, turns and frowns at her again. “No. What I want is to be able to sleep in the bed.”
“Not happening,” Sam says, at the same time Tucker says, “No way.”
“I knew you both didn’t love me,” Danny says dramatically. “I knew it.”
“I love you,” Tucker says, “but I love being warm and cozy while I sleep more.”
Having a boyfriend who runs supernaturally cold is only convenient in the summer. In the winter, it becomes a bit of an issue.

Then she steps forwards and throws the bowling ball down the lane.

Summary
The name at the top of the conversation blurs in her vision. She isn't crying, not yet, but her world feels like it is collapsing in on itself and all of her building adrenaline has her dizzy with vertigo where she stands.
Mr. Masters is the contact name. Mr. Masters is the one sending these texts to her son.
After discovering Danny's secret during the reunion, without revealing his own secret Vlad offers to become an adult Danny can come to for help with ghost things. He's hoping that he can manipulate Danny slowly but surely to his side, comforting him as Masters while pushing him to his limits as Plasmius.
Maddie sees some texts between them, and comes to the conclusion any mother would come to when seeing creepy texts from a man her age to her fourteen year old son.

“Danny, you should say something, I bet whatever ghosts are here will remember you.”
“Hey there ghosts,” Danny says, reluctantly playing along. “It’s me, ya boy.”
Locker 724 slams open, ripping a startled shriek from Danny as he leaps away, trips, and falls backwards out of the camera shot.
Sam and Tucker decide to capitalize on how haunted Amity Park is. Danny is dragged along for the ride.

“So, how are you doing?”
Lie, his instincts demand immediately.
“I’m doing great,” he says. He thoroughly cleaned his apartment before Jazz arrived. There’s nothing she’d be able to point to as evidence that he isn’t doing great.
Although everyone else has left to live out their adult lives elsewhere in the world, Danny Fenton is still living in Amity Park.

Summary
“Leave him alone!” Izuku can't keep himself from shouting, as he stands and then twists to grab his backpack and get the support gear he has stashed within.
The man huffs out a chuckle, as if amused that Izuku is still trying to fight. He drops the homeless man and turns to approach.
People don't tend to expect for a kid half their size to suddenly pull out what looks like a small bazooka, and this man doesn't seem to either, as he stops in his tracks and his eyes go wide with surprise.
”Please work,“ Izuku whimpers. Then he pulls the trigger.
Izuku stumbles upon an altercation late at night, and does his best to help however he can.

Summary
“Let me go!” Percy tries to shout. The words never make it higher than his collarbone. He can’t even produce a sound with such a tight grip cutting through his windpipe.
Sylas’ grin widens as Percy’s struggling grows weaker. He runs his tongue over the appearing points of his fangs.
There is a slight adjustment of Sylas' hand around his neck, opening up some space on the side, and then Percy's world goes white as those fine fangs bury themselves into him.

Summary
“Maybe instead of asking the ghost to give you its name, ask if they’re that hiker who died, the one in the urban legend. A yes or no question might be easier for them to communicate.”
“Asking a ghost if they’re a specific dead person feels very rude, somehow,” Izuku mutters.
He can almost hear the shrug in Todoroki’s tone when he responds. “Well, then I guess you’ll be living with a mystery entity until you decide to ask.”
“I’ve decided, I’m not letting you meet my ghost anymore,” Izuku says simply, and then hangs up.
Encouraged by family and friends to move someplace more peaceful for his health, Izuku moves to an old house in the woods that has been in his family for years.
It's not quite as peaceful as expected.
