Summary
Wei Ying inhaled, taking in the freezing air, relishing in the clarity it brought him. A few moments passed, and he released his breath, watching the cloud of air that came forth. It dissipated slowly, in this cold and sun-kissed weather, and Wei Ying watched the cloud, his mind wandering.
It all started with a breath.

Promethean Love by blucross
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
21 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
Tumble: (typically of a person) to fall suddenly, clumsily, or headlong.
Izuku’s love was wonderful, and it was bright, and it was oh so very warm in a way Izuku had never felt. It was born out of the struggles they had gone through, both by themselves and together. It represented the strength they both held as they overcame the challenges that came their way as Heroes. To Izuku, it was a perfect representation of the feelings neither of them had ever experienced before.
It was a certain irony, Izuku knew, that the flower he coughed up would be red and white, just like Shouto.

A Breath Of Cold Air by blucross for LunaTic0507
Fandoms: 名探偵コナン | Detective Conan | Case Closed
31 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
Shinichi was emotionally mature enough to admit that he was lonely. It was manageable during the other times of year, where the streets were full of people and the world around them was full of life. But during the winter, he felt the loneliness more deeply with each breath of air he dragged in. It’s part of the reason why Shinichi didn’t like going out during winter anymore.
The cold only served as a reminder of how alone he was.0o0-0o0-0o0
Today is like most other winter days to Conan: it's cold and miserable, and he would rather stay tucked away in the Kudo Manor Library, thank you very much. So of course, a certain thief had to stick his nose into Conan's business.
But maybe...maybe that was for the better?

Everyone In This Room, And Then Myself by blucross for AcademicCockroach
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
21 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
Young Izuku (Very Young Izuku, his mind supplied) stared up at Toshinori, and though his eyes seemed to take up half of his face, the color of emerald-touched auroras still pierced through Toshinori’s soul. And then Izuku smiled, a large, toothy grin, eyes closing as he reached up to yank one of Toshinori’s bangs to stick in his mouth. In that moment, Toshinori couldn't help but agree with another of Young Kaminari's sayings: he'd only held this small version of Izuku in his hands for a few moments, but Toshinori knew, should his boy ever be hurt, he would kill everyone in the room and then himself.
0o0-0o0-0o0
Toshinori and Izuku are out together when a strange man attacks them, and Izuku takes the hit for Toshinori. Now that his boy is so small and vulnerable, Toshinori will make sure nothing happens to him. Even if that means destroying a man and terrorizing a rookie.

Summary
Seven Days and Seven Night,
filled with life's most sweetest delights.
But past the light of the Seventh Day,
this sweetest life will fade away.—0o0-0o0-0o0—
Izuku's just had the worst day of his life: Kacchan's destroyed his notebook, he's nearly killed by this weird slime-man-thing Villain, and All Might tells Izuku that not only can Quirkless people not be Heroes, but that Izuku should give up on trying to become one. It's an awful, and Izuku wouldn't wish this day on anyone. So when after a long day, a candy stall owner offers Izuku some candy said to give him good dreams, Izuku takes the offer, because he could really use something good in his life. Little does Izuku know that these wonderful little candies are more than what they seem. But then again, even if Izuku did...would he want to stop?

Tags
Summary
What if Izuku became a vigilante, but not for any of the reasons people would think.
Oh, Izuku still wanted to help people, to save them, to make them feel safe. His patrols around the underserved neighborhoods of Musutafu definitely helped. But that wasn't his primary cause.
No, Izuku became a vigilante so that he wouldn't have to do any paperwork.

Blue Jeans and Steel Boots by blucross for JoWithTheFlow
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
31 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
Mezou wasn't someone that really stood out.
If you disregarded his taller than average height, his mask-covered face, and the fact that he had a few more sets of limbs than most other people, Mezou was normal. Average. Mezou wasn’t one to dress up in the latest fashions or go with the latest trends. When he wasn’t working or in school, he preferred a tank-top, a comfortable pair of blue jeans and his trusty pair of steel boots. On the rare occasions that he did dress up, he more or less wore a nicer shirt and called it a day. He was a person that preferred practicality and comfortability over looking cool or fashionable, and he was happy with that.
Mezou was happy that he didn't stand out, more than content with the way he was, the friends he had, and the work he did. He was happy with it until someone went too far.

A Revelation Of Warmth by blucross for SimplyKaren
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
19 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
As someone who shared any and everything with Dark Shadow, Fumikage understood what it would mean, should Dark Shadow give into the burning, maddening spurs of cold in their hearts. It would mean letting a nigh-uncontrollable monster loose upon the world. For all that Fumikage saw the darkness in most people, he would not wish for the darkness Dark Shadow could unleash upon the world. And so, whenever Fumikage received a sliver of warmth, he would cherish it for mere moments, memorizing the comforting, gentle embrace it gave him, before he passed it to Dark Shadow.
Fumikage is always cold, and is always searching for that sliver of warmth to banish the cold, burrowing tendrils that curled around his bones and nestled around his heart and veins. His searches were long, and the bouts of review were few and far in between, the warmth he longed for a long sought-after jewel that was always sliding out of Fumikage’s grip.
Warmth was an elusive, ephemeral comfort that Fumikage could never truly find, never truly hold onto.
That is, until he began noticing Midoriya Izuku.

Violets Aren't Always Blue (My Heart Beats Only For You) by blucross for Dawn_Till_Dusk
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
18 Jul 2022
Tags
Summary
Muses were, more often than not, untouchable.
Hitoshi knew this. It was a tenant for any good artist: keep your muse as only your muse. To do anything more, to want for anything more, was foolish. If an artist found their muse, they were lucky; sometimes it took years for an artist’s muse to appear before them, and to risk it all because they wanted something more was pointless. It would only lead to ruin and heartbreak.
But, as Hitoshi thought of the way the sun shone down on bouncing locks, the way his eyes shone like the aurora borealis of his dreams, the way he would smile and Hitoshi's worries would float away on the breeze of summer he always smelled like...
Hitoshi was in love with the sun, and he would never be able to touch it. After all, people who lived in the shadows of others didn't deserve sunlight.

Summary
Incandescent:
white, glowing, or luminous with intense heat; strikingly bright, radiant, or clearAfter coming back later than usual from sparring, Izuku and Katsuki fall asleep together on the couch during a movie marathon, and no one wakes them up. (At this point, all of 2-A knows that Katsuki loved Izuku, and that Izuku loved Katsuki. It was only a matter of time before they got together.) When Izuku wakes up, he finds that he slept on Kacchan overnight, and he can't help but admire the blond under the morning sun.
With Kacchan asleep, Izuku was able to wistfully appreciate the blond and his beauty.“Why do you have to be so beautiful, Kacchan?” Izuku whispered to himself, trailing a scarred finger down the blond’s sharpened jaw. “Looking at you like this, it’s no wonder that I fell in love with you…”
A strong pale hand grabbed Izuku’s wandering hand, holding it to Kacchan’s face.
“You think I’m beautiful, huh nerd?”

Summary
Ignition:
the action of setting something on fire or starting to burnKatsuki was in love with the nerd.
Katsuki wasn’t sure when it happened, and going back over any time spent with the green-haired teen, Katsuki couldn’t actually pinpoint anything. Instead, it was a small, growing tendril that had looped around Katsuki’s heart. The times he and Izuku sparred together, their missions during the war, the moments Katsuki and Izuku would cook together in the kitchen for the rest of their classmates…Somewhere along the way, Katsuki had gone from just tolerating the nerd to falling ass over kettle for Izuku.
And damn, Katsuki had it bad.
Or:
Five times Katsuki's hidden his love from Izuku, and the one time Izuku starts to notice something.

Summary
Hearth:
a home, especially when seen as a place of comfort and loveKacchan was holding Shou-kun on his hip, and the little boy was talking animatedly to the blond about something. Even as Kacchan was looking elsewhere, his face was turned towards Shou-kun, showing that Kacchan was listening to what the little boy was saying. And Shou-kun was very excited about whatever they were talking about, because he was smiling and waving the hand that wasn’t clinging to the back of Kacchan’s neck. At one point, Shou-kun said something that must have been funny, because Kacchan threw his head back and laughed, a wide, sharp grin on his face.
Izuku’s heart skipped a beat.
And as Kacchan turned to look at Izuku, all Izuku could think was that Kacchan looked really good with a kid on his hip and a smile on his face.

Summary
Eruption:
a sudden outbreak of something, typically something unwelcome or noisyIzuku was always looking at people, always searching for their next move, to see if they were going to be friendly or hurtful towards him. It had been a practice Izuku started from a young, young age, because being Quirkless in Japan meant that Izuku always needed to be careful when talking to anyone.
Now that the War was over, though, Izuku found that he couldn’t stop his over-analyzation of people. There were so many that had gone undercover against Izuku and his family that Izuku found it hard to trust new people these days. It was something he was working on with Ryou-sensei during therapy, but it was slow going. One of the exercises Ryou-sensei had given Izuku was to occasionally stop and think about the people he analyzed; why did he do it? Was there anyone he analyzed a lot, and why? Was there anybody he didn’t analyze a lot? Why was that?
So, when Izuku stopped to think about who he stared at and who he didn’t, Izuku realized something: he didn’t stare at Kacchan.

Summary
Kindling:
(in neurology) a process by which a seizure of other brain event is both initiated and its recurrence made more likelyIzuku and Katsuki are in the middle of their normal weekly sparring match when something changes. Izuku doesn’t know what, exactly, it is, but the way that Kacchan smiles at him, wild, full of energy, and so full of life that it sets Izuku’s heart ablaze. Honestly, the blond took Izuku’s breath away sometimes and he didn’t even realize it. [Not that he wanted it back, really.]
Kacchan sent him a grin, knowing and sharp and reflecting something Izuku wasn’t quite sure of (that Izuku might be too afraid to acknowledge)...Izuku’s heart stuttered.
…Maybe he did know?

The Coldest Winter by blucross for sagelike_sunshine
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
03 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
Shouto was always cold.
It came with predominantly using his right side growing up. Refusing to use his left side, his old man’s power, as a way to prove he didn’t need fire, didn’t need Endeavor, in order to become a good Hero. And so, over the years of harsh training, he’d learn to hone the power of his right side, his mother’s powers, his powers of cold, of snow and ice. Even now, after learning to use his left side properly, and to devastating effect, Shouto would still say that his right side is his preferred choice when using his quirk in battles or in training.
Shouto is always cold, and in the winter, nothing ever seems to truly warm him up. It's always been like that until one day, Izuku gives Shouto his hoodie.
(In which Shouto accidentally goes from borrowing one of his friend's hoodies to having an entire winter collection's worth of hoodies, sweaters, sweatshirts and more. He would give them back, but...they kept him so, so warm.)

Summary
“Now that I seem to have your attention,” All Might said, sounding rather amused. “Young Midoriya, I would like for you and I to meet up at Dagoba Beach in an hour. I’ll be waiting for you there.”
“But wait—” Izuku protested, only to hear a dial tone. Izuku grumbled as he ended the call. He supposed that, after multiple missed calls, All Might wasn’t willing to let Izuku ignore him anymore. Izuku sighed. How was he supposed to face All Might?
Izuku just didn’t know. After all, how do you face your Hero when you’ve failed them so miserably?
0o0-0o0-0o0
After the First Year Sports Festival, Izuku believes he's failed All Might, failed the man who had given him everything without asking for anything in return. A conversation on the beach, however, may very well be what changes Izuku's mind.

Summary
It was a tough day for Denki.
English Class (his favorite class) went fine, and so did Heroics Class with Aizawa-sensei (up until the end, at least). But the rest of the day? Awful. The words on the board swam back and forth, never staying put long enough for Denki to concentrate before the teachers moved along, erasing their notes or writing even more. That wasn’t even mentioning math. Denki wasn’t so bad at it before, back in middle school. But when simple multiplication and division turned into Algebra and Trigonometry, he couldn’t even hope to catch up.
So what if he hides from his friends to go cry? He doesn't want them to see him like this, so distraught, being nothing but a failure—
“Who the fuck said you could say that about yourself, huh?”
