Fool's Gold (The Dreamer and his Blade) by Wisteria_lake

Summary
Ponyboy Curtis used to see the world in gold.
Now he sees it in red.Grief carved its way through him slow, quiet, brutal—until all that remained was a shadow with a blade in his pocket and blood on his hands. He was supposed to be the soft one, the golden one. The one who made it out.
But even dreamers can rot.
Dallas Winston was never soft. He’s built from scars and spit and fists that always hit first. He’s never claimed to care. Not about anything—
Except Johnny.
Except maybe him.Now Ponyboy’s eyes look too much like mirrors. And Dally’s the only one who sees what’s cracking beneath the silence.
This is a story about the ones who don’t make it out clean. About what grief turns you into when no one’s looking.
About how easy it is to mistake a knife for a lifeline.And how staying gold was never really an option.

From the Silence, Hope Will Rise by Wisteria_lake

Summary
In a world reliant on a single symbol to hold everything together, what happens when that symbol vanishes — not temporarily, but for good?
Izuku Midoriya grows up believing that heroes are unbreakable lights, meant to guide everyone else through the dark. But when the symbol the world depended on disappears, everything begins to fracture: society grows colder, fear spreads through the streets, and heroes themselves start doubting what “heroism” even means.
Thrown into a future that feels unfamiliar and wrong, Izuku is forced to confront who he is without guidance, without certainty, and without the safety net he always assumed would be there. His quirk feels strange and new, the people around him are more complicated than he expected, and the world itself seems to be losing hope.
As villains rise, alliances shift, and the line between justice and survival blurs, Izuku has to build himself from the ground up — not as a copy of someone else, but as something entirely his own.
This is a story about losing the light you depended on… and creating hope within the shadows.

Death is a Mercy to Those with no Purpose by Wisteria_lake

Summary
Sometimes the only merciful ending is death. Between the pages of a story so worn out but not by time, by use, lies nothing. Just longing for more that cannot be. Death is a beautiful word that has been tainted by expectations. Death isn’t cruel, death is a kindness that lasts forever.

What is Love and Fear if not the Same by Wisteria_lake

Summary
Things happen for reasons that aren’t known and when those things happen little pieces of certain souls begin to break away. Pieces that those affected didn’t even know existed, pieces rooted so deep in their heart that the loss might just shatter them.
Love is the emotion that keeps fate going but also the thing that makes it so damaging. When one is fated to love, one is fated to lose, beginnings have ends and the new becomes the old. Fate can be oh so beautiful, but truly what is waiting there after you cross the finish line?

Summary
Every time he goes to the burn store, the boy with white hair boy is there, the severity of both their burns increasing with each visit. They go about the usual routine of the boy picking out the best burn creams, two for each of them nowadays, and paying for them as Izuku covers his eyes with his hands so he doesn’t read out the numbers accidentally. Except for this time, the boy doesn’t immediately head off, instead gesturing for him to follow.
“Come on, let’s go to the park. I can teach you how to put your cream on the right way,” He grins and Izuku is about to follow him like a duckling when he remembers being told not to follow strangers. Something about secondary locations. This boy doesn’t feel like a stranger, but how would Izuku know? They don’t even know each other’s names-
“I don’t know your name!” He says it with all the outrage it deserves. They’ve known each other for weeks, how rude must Izuku have looked to never introduce himself!
The other boy looks conflicted, and for one frightening moment Izuku worries perhaps the boy is big, bad, and scary before he shrugs his shoulders and half-smiles.
“...Touya.”

Summary
Izuku has plans for everything.
He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.
For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.
Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.
(Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

Summary
Dallas hadn’t spoken to his kid brother in six years. Not since he’d left New York.
If he was honest, he hadn’t really even thought about the kid. At first, it had just been too painful. But it got easier. And the farther and farther South he found himself the easier it had become to forget about Ponyboy Winston.
---
Or the AU where Ponyboy Winston is sent down to Tulsa to live with his brother Dallas. But it would only be for five months. Because Ponyboy would never forgive his brother for leaving. He and Dallas would never get along...right?
