    Summary

    When Rodrick meets Regina on his first day of college, he’s determined to get her to be his girlfriend. So determined, in fact, that he’s willing to set aside some of his pride and (reluctantly) enlist his younger brother’s help. But maybe he needs less help than he and Greg initially thought.

    As it turns out, Regina might like her guys a little sleazier than others.

    Summary

    He'd seen Regina eviscerate girls in school for daring to wear the same top, smugly watch boys trip over themselves to help her with homework, pout and use a baby voice with her idiot jock boyfriend. He'd never seen Regina like this before, overcome with violent anger. She looked like she wanted nothing more than to rip someone's throat out with her teeth.

    Rodrick had never seen Regina act so…interesting.

    ***********************************

    When Rodrick sees Regina display some uncharacteristic violence, he invites her to an abandoned building to smash some shit up but old furniture is not all that they'll be smashing that night.

    Summary

    Regina had buried her true self many years ago.
    Before the plastics, there was Janis. Her partner-in-crime, her childhood best friend. But growing up changes things. Regina outgrew the rock music, the sleep overs and the unpopularity. She grew new priorities, and Janis just wasn't one of them.
    And Regina had lived just fine without her. Ascending the ranks at school, she clambered her way to the very top of the food chain.
    Until one night everything changed.
    Rodrick Heffley, the lead singer of the hot new band Loded Diper, crossed paths with the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Who knew all the words to his songs, and danced like she didn't care if anyone was watching.
    Regina, letting her exterior mask slip for one night, would grow to regret it forever.
    Because she never meant to let Rodrick rock her world off course, and crumble everything she had worked so hard for in his hands.
    It's all a game, until someone gets hurt.

    Summary

    A royal and barbarian AU inspired by the fantasy popularity poll/ending credits/light novel short story (as well as fellow AO3 fic writers).

    The Eastern kingdom and the barbarian tribes have been at odds for generations. Who better to advocate peace but the Crown Prince, the unfortunate heir, Todoroki Touya? Marriage across governments does tend to create bonds, after all. This one just so happens to have the added bonus of pissing off his father.

    Talk about a happy accident…

    Summary

    “What’s your name?” The question leaves his lips before he can process it, a jerky attempt at conversation. He is curious if this thing has a name at all.

    It evaluates him, minutes ticking by as they stand motionless in the kitchen. Keigo barely breathes.

    Finally, it speaks, a low, husky drawl, almost imperceivable. “Dabi.”

    “I’m Keigo” 

    No need for last names, Keigo hasn’t gone by his in a long time.

    “Why did you help me?”

    The words send a jolt through Keigo, part of him not expecting the creature to know more than its name. He takes a steadying breath, sudden nervousness overtaking him. This thing was clearly more human than he had assumed. Keigo finds himself at a loss for words, faced with the question he had been asking himself from the start.

    “I don’t know, you just… looked like you needed saving.” 

    --

    Keigo hides the monster terrorizing the town, who is really just a broken man who never asked to be made, from an angry mob.
