    Summary

    After a stressful week, Yor suggests that Loid, Yuri, and Franky relax and go have a guy's night with just the boys. When they wake up the next morning, Loid's gun is missing is six bullets, Yuri's work camera is gone, and the car has a human sized dent in the hood.

    It also doesn't help that apparently the night before Loid called Yor in a drunken stupor and spoke a little too honestly about his feelings.

    Summary

    For future events, we should be able to maintain this status quo and easily pass as a married couple. The question is if Yor will be able to continue this level of intimacy, but based on her reaction tonight, it didn’t seem too difficult for her.

    “Loid?” Yor called.

    He turned around to find she was right in front of him. “Yes?”

    Of course, Yor has always been slightly unpredictable. I’ll have to—

    Before he could react, she pulled on his shoulder, stood up on her toes, and gave him a peck on the cheek.

    “Thanks for everything,” she said sweetly.

    And then she left, humming happily as she slipped into her room. Twilight stood firmly planted in the middle of the hallway.

    …I’ll have to…have to…

    Twilight is a man of considerable intelligence. Until he isn't.

    Summary

    Quirkless, young adult Midoriya Izuku has a problem. Namely, he has a crush on his purple haired, tired-looking neighbor. They keep running into each other and the guy is actually pretty nice under that deadpan facade, has a sense of humor, doesn't seem to judge anyone for their quirk status, and is constantly spoiling any cat in the building that finds him. (He's also a shameless flirt.)

    But Izuku has concerns. About the strange bruises and bloodied knuckles. About the weapons he's seen when stopping by for a cup of sugar. About the shady-looking figures he's accidentally spotted his neighbor meeting with. About the fact that right after the news reported a big crime bust, his neighbor came home beat all to hell and looking haunted.

    Izuku has a problem. Namely, he has a crush on his neighbor, who he's pretty sure is secretly a villain. And he has no idea what to do with that.

    (or: Adult!ShinZuku AU where Shinsou is an underground, undercover pro hero trying to find a lead on a case that may or may not involve the socially awkward guy living next door. Misunderstandings abound.)

    Summary

    He may be doomed, but he doesn’t have to drag her into it. One day, and soon, she will succeed at her task.

    And what then?

    He is the Fates’ emissary, Doom Incarnate, the sword waiting to fall. What can he offer her once she returns to her true home?

    Nothing.

    The weight of his role is a chain around his neck dragging him down. He can’t train with Lady Hecate, he can’t change what he is…

    And he can’t be what Melinoë deserves once all this is over.

    Adrift without his duty, Moros grapples with the weight of Fate and the terrifying illusion of choice. Debating inevitability is a difficult thing, but whether he knows it or not, the denizens of the Crossroads will help him find his place.
