Summary

The first time Tamaki hears of Bakugou Katsuki, the child had spent fifteen minutes fighting a villain that normally kills its victims in less than one.
The second time Tamaki hears of Bakugou Katsuki, the teenager has been chained to a stage, muzzled, and forced to receive a medal he insisted he had not earned.
The third time Tamaki hears of Bakugou Katsuki, he’s been kidnapped by the League of Villains.
Man, Tamaki thinks to himself, this kid just cannot catch a break.
This is a story about bravery: Where one can find it, and the great heights to which it can help a person fly.

Summary

On a mission early in his career, Bakugou rescues a little girl named Eri from the villain Overhaul. She refuses to leave his side afterward, and Bakugou, for his part, realizes that he would do damn near anything to take care of her. But he’s barely out of high school, and has his work as a Pro Hero, and knows he can’t do it alone.
So Bakugou is convinced to move in with two slightly older, married Pro Heroes who happen to be Soulmates – Shimura Tenko and Todoroki Touya. Bakugou doesn’t know them, but he knows of them and they come with high recommendations, so he decides to give it a shot. But when he shows up, the Sub inside Bakugou recognizes the two Doms, deep in his Soul, and they recognize him right back.
So now Bakugou has to juggle figuring out how to raise a child while also starting a relationship. (How exactly did this become his life???)

Summary

Every step towards the door seemed to take forever, and Katsuki honestly didn’t even want to think about the kind of face he had to be making when he opened the door. The predatory grin that overtook Shinsou’s face immediately gave him some clue.
One moment, Katsuki was looking up at Shinsou’s asshole grin, and the next, he was being manhandled back into his own fucking apartment. The door shut and the lock clicked, and Shinsou crowded Katsuki up against the wall of the entryway, one hand by Katsuki’s head and the other on his waist.
Shinsou leaned in to whisper into Katsuki’s ear,
“Have you been good for me?”
And Katsuki could only nod fervently, his eyes closing.
“Use your words, Baby.”
Katsuki took a breath to collect himself. “Y-Yeah. I’ve been good.”
“Did you cum?”
“No, I waited.”
“Mhmmm… Good choice.”
Pro Heroes Bakugou and Shinsou reconnect in a tattoo and piercing shop! And, well... They're both Pro Heroes, they're both trans, they're both into body mods, they both love BDSM... Really, it was only ever going to end one way. 💜🧡

Summary

When Utsushimi and Yoarashi got together, Katsuki did his best to support his friends. He grouched out a “Congratulations,” and let them go on their merry way. Utsushimi pulled Yoarashi behind her through the party, both of them grinning wide.
And to be fair, Katsuki really was happy for them. But it would really be a whole lot easier on his aching, stupidly pining heart if the two lovebirds would stop inviting him out to dinner? (Seriously, Camie, what the fuck.)

Summary

As adult Pro Heroes, what are Katsuki, Eijirou, Izuku and Shouto to do with their free time, if not enjoy the fact that they're four virile young men with access to the internet, a lot of kinks, and nearly endless energy?
(It would be great if the Paranormal Liberation Front would leave them all alone, though.)

Summary

“Lovely weather for a funeral.”
“Atmospheric,” Lan Zhan agreed. Expecting, as had happened so often in his life, for the handsome stranger to stiffen at the sound of his voice, for that smile to turn false and brittle as they made their excuses.
“You have a lovely voice,” they said instead, as if they weren’t calling eroded gravel beautiful when their voice was the finest jade.
It was far from a typical compliment, but Lan Zhan was so starved for praise his heart clenched in his chest.
On the day of his father's funeral, Lan Zhan receives a box of letters from his long-missing mother. His quest to find her leads him to a spooky, kooky, and loving family who just might want him to stay forever. (And of course, to the man of his dreams).

Summary

The next time Wei Wuxian became aware of his surroundings and was able to form semi-coherent thoughts, Wen Zhuliu had just finished tying weights to his feet. Both his arm and his back were still bleeding and he felt as if he had been flayed.
“Should I make it quick?” Wen Zhuliu asked him, offering a small mercy.
But Wei Wuxian shook his head. “Give me your worst,” he snarled, his teeth coated in blood from where he had bitten his tongue at some point. “I will come back to end you all,” he promised darkly.
“Very well,” Wen Zhuliu merely said and drowned him.
Or: Yu Ziyuan cuts off Wei Wuxian's hand to appease the Wens. He gets drowned in the lake behind Lotus Pier and resentful energy transforms him into a river spirit. After avenging his own death, he finds his way to Yiling.

Summary

No one can quite pinpoint exactly when the war spiraled into a chaotic three-way conflict between the Sunshot Alliance, the Wens, and the ever-mysterious Yiling Laozu. What everyone agrees on is this: the Yiling Laozu is merciless in his hunt for the Wens, uses unorthodox demonic cultivation techniques, and provides shelter to rogue cultivators from all over. The official position of the Sunshot Campaign is that this rumored leader of the newly-formed Yiling sect is a dangerous unknown, unfit to be trusted—or allied with.
So who is the Yiling Laozu and why does he keep abducting the esteemed Hanguang-Jun?
