Summary
Watching Neil’s sleeping form Andrew pictures what he might look like a year from now. Two years. Neil as the team captain, him going pro. Him making court. Andrew pictured these images in his head, and in every image, he would regrettably have to say he saw himself, growing right alongside Neil.
For the first time, Andrew pictured himself growing old. For the first time, Andrew thought maybe he’d survive past his twenties. Something in him twisted at the thought, and he couldn’t say it was unwelcome.***
A collection of fluffy ficlets and one shots.

Summary
The woman on the stage, Andrew couldn’t care less about remembering her name, puts her hand in the oversized glass bowl and makes a show of digging through the little slips of paper.
Thirty-Eight times. His name is in there thirty-eight times.
The woman smiles at the name in her hand, as if she were announcing a winner of some sweet game. As if she were picking a child to receive a present. So easily, so sickeningly sincere she reads the name from the paper.
“Aaron Minyard,”
And suddenly Andrew hears nothing. He doesn’t see Aaron blanch beside him. He doesn’t feel Aarons hand latch onto his arm. He doesn’t hear as Katelyn begins to sob. He doesn’t hear Nicky as he cries out. All Andrew sees is his brother on that television screen. He sees Aaron shot through the chest with the shaft of the arrow over his heart. He sees Aaron’s skull broken open with a rock. He sees the maybe hundreds of children he’s been forced to watch slaughter each other. He doesn’t feel as Aaron is torn from his side and forced to the center aisle, where he stumbles forward. Andrew sees his brother becoming just another name written in the capitals history only to be forgotten the following year and-
“I volunteer!”

Summary
“So, who are you really ‘Neil Josten'?”
Neil faltered, unsure of how to answer the question. By that point he was all out of lies. Ironic, considering his entire identity was a lie. Everything was so strange. He was lost.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know who you are?”
“No,” Neil said. “I don’t know what I am.”-----------------------------
Neil Josten doesn’t exist, not really.
After spending his life running from an enemy just beyond the reach of his memory, Neil finds himself at Palmetto State University, desperately trying to build something real. However, strange things keep happening. Strange things that Neil can't explain. Strange things that leave Neil questioning who and what he really is.
And what exactly it is he's running from.

Summary
He searched, for something, anything. They were right there, right in front of him and he knew deep down in some other life, some other world he could love them. There was something. But when he closed his eyes it was Erwin. Erwin holding him at an arm's length away. Erwin towering over him, Erwin’s touch, Erwins hands, Erwins bed. Erwin dying on that roof. It would always be Erwin.

Summary
It was too quiet for Aizawa to be comfortable. A smooth patrol - with not so much as a pickpocket - was unheard of. Perched on the edge of a rooftop, looking over the eerily quiet city, he watched as the night started to fade into dawn. For the past half hour he’d been waiting for something to go horrifically wrong, as per the norm of his career. But nothing happened. He watched as a handful of civilians went about their lives, returning home from graveyard shifts or on their way to the early morning ones, chugging coffee or stumbling drunk. It’s a sentiment he can appreciate.
Fine. He got lucky just this once, blessed with an easy patrol, he won’t return home bloody. He could ride the high of an easy night and make it home in time for a nap before he has to teach.
That was until he saw a kid on the roof of an abandoned building, swaying precariously on the edge.
Or,
Aizawa happens across a certain green haired problem child stuck between life and death.

Summary
"We're really sorry," his father says, in a teary-eyed, wobbly way. "But your friend, Izuku, he's... He's gone, son."
Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation.
"What the fuck are you two talking about? The damn nerd is standing right beside you!"During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Stuck in a ghost-like state, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in this state is no one other than Kacchan.
Alternatively: Deku and Kacchan are soulbound.

Summary
Sometimes Aaron wonders if they were put together in the hospital, the way many twins are paired up for skin to skin. Because they’re not used to being alone. Because they naturally reach out for each other. Because being pressed up chest to chest releases oxytocin. Did he and Andrew have that? Or were they separated before they even got to know each other’s smell? He wonders if that’s why there’s sometimes this empty pocket inside of him where nothing else seems to fit.
or the first few times aaron initiates conversation and andrew indulges him as best as he knows how
