Summary
"So we could all do our duty! We could all be strong. Be together!”
Rumi is begging.
Rumi is begging and Mira had wanted to be just that, be together, up until five minutes ago – her and Zoey had talked about it in detail, how both of their heart were beating for two people, how easy it had been to fall in love with their leader, how they wanted to try and be more, once they had restored the Golden Honmoon.
But Rumi lied to them.
And Mira finds she doesn’t want her anymore, not right now.
(She doesn’t know, not yet, what she will lose. Destiny laughs into her ears and it is the sound of someone gone mad.)
(They find her in the dirt by the tree, cold and pale and covered in blood.)
– .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. –
(or: Celine does as Rumi begs her to. Grabs the sword and puts down the feral dog kneeling at her feet. There really isn't much more to say.)

Summary
Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

Summary
14 year old Izuku gets lost at the UA Sports Festival!
Luckily, Pro Heroine Midnight knows where he can wait until his parents can come collect him; the announcer's booth with her best pals Eraserhead and Present Mic.
Chaos ensues.
There are text-to-speech/AI-voice channels claiming to have my permission. I have not and will not give permission to use my works for any channels that use machine or AI-based text to speech. Please unsubscribe/downvote/do not comment on those videos as they are trying to monetize stolen content from myself and other creators and outright lie that they have my consent.
If you do prefer audio, The Nomad Crow has kindly started a podfic where they read this fic: at their YouTube channel. Please go support them and leave a nice comment. :)
Now with a sequel, a discord server and a TV Tropes page.
