Summary
Katsuki would take a bullet for his boyfriend, no questions asked. He refuses to draw the line at poop, for chrissakes. But, well. He isn’t just going to let this shit stand, either.

Summary
“You really do think this is about you, don’t you?” Izuku had raised his voice to a shout by the time he rounded another corner in pursuit. “Do you even know what’s happening down there?”
The princess let out a harsh bark of a laugh. “Don’t tell me you’re going to spout some bullshit about me having a responsibility to my people,” they taunted. “I don’t even have the authority. My old hag saw to that.”
“Authority?” Izuku repeated, indignant. “Who needs authority when you’ve covered the nation in ice?”
The princess finally paused, sneer dropping, eyebrows pinched. “What.”
————————
Izuku, Denki, and their llama, Shouto, walk into a snowstorm in the middle of summer. Izuku wants answers, Denki wants warm cider, and Shouto is just along for the ride because he's a llama.

Summary
“Maomao?” He presses, fingers closing over hers and lowering their joined hands to her lap, and she blinks in surprise at the use of her name. “What is it? What’s wrong?”
“Their technique is sloppy,” she answers honestly. “I feel strain on my heart. They should have targeted the nervous system instead.”
Master Jinshi stares at her like she’s spoken a foreign language he can’t even begin to try and understand. She tries to explain.
“Certain snake venoms cause coagulation of the blood, which could have been effective and made the blood unable to move through my veins, but if the end result is simply making my heart stop beating by targeting the muscles involv-”
“Maomao,” Master Jinshi says, very calmly, “I need you to stop speaking now.”
(an assassin tries to kill jinshi with a poisoned blade that gets maomao instead) (she is obviously much less concerned about this than everyone else)

Summary
Maomao has a lot of secrets that she keeps from Jinshi - but when one of her deadliest comes back to haunt her Jinshi gets caught in the crossfire and is kidnapped.
But Maomao is a forced to be reckoned with when you mess with the people she loves and nothing will stop her from getting Jinshi back
--
I truly think that Maomao has all the attributes needed (except a lack of morals) to be an assassin and couldn't get the idea out of my head.

Summary
Little JinMao drabbles for Inktober because I can't draw. Same universe, chronologically out of order.
This story features moments from Jinshi and Maomao from the beginning of their relationship through falling in love, getting married, having children, and eventually becoming grandparents. It's primarily humor and fluff, but there are a couple of sad ones mixed in here and there.

Summary
JinMao. Maomao finds a winged monster in a ditch, and when his blood accidentally mixes with hers, she gains the ability to see supernatural phenomena. Demon Prince Jinshi declares her his First Human Friend, and decides that she can help him with his mission, even though she is exhausted by his presence by the end of their very first conversation and by their second conversation, he has already eaten several people.
He has wings, and a tail, and a giant freaky tongue.
He walks through walls, flies, and torments anyone who causes her even brief discomfort.Rated explicit because of future chapters.
AU that is set in the same time period, with a lot of the same characters and situations.

Summary
After Maomao serves as a medical attendant at the birth of Basen and Lishu's baby, a shift begins to happen inside of her that changes how she feels about herself as a woman, and about Jinshi as a man. Meanwhile, the prince remains far away and blissfully unaware that his cat is in heat and the emperor, due to an error in understanding, believes that Maomao is already pregnant and decides the right thing for him to do is to reveal this information to the head of the La clan so they might quietly find a way to cover for an unplanned pregnancy that doesn't exist.
