    Summary

    His fingers slowly moved up to his face and when they touched bare skin, when they felt his cheeks, his chin, his lips without the protection of the mask, the world collapsed around him.

    Izuku jumped out of bed, staggering, his hand frantically patting his face as if he could find the fabric that wasn't there "My mask!" his voice a hoarse shout.

    Or

    4 times Katsuki suspected Izuku Midoriya was Spider-Man and 1 time he knew.

    Summary

    “I’m the Emperor’s eldest son,” Jinshi blurts out when Maomao opens the door.

    He stands, half slouched against the frame of her door as if he might collapse. His ragged, hurried breaths make for the only sound in the dark hallway of her dorms, which remain blessedly silent in spite of the nightly disturbance. Maomao should have gone to bed a long time ago, but she lost track of time, leafing through one of the books she borrowed from the medical office.

    Would she have heard Jinshi knock on her door if she had?

    Her eyes scan over his dishevelled features and she blindly reaches for his wrist, pulling him inside. The muted thump of the door closing behind them sounds like an ominous warning about her allowing an unmarried man inside her chambers in the middle of the night.

    or:  Jinshi knocks on her door in the middle of the night with a discovery. Maomao lets him in.
     Set nebulously post LN15.

    Summary

    Her vision of the gardens blurs and sways momentarily as her foot catches on something. Before she can trip forward, Lahan sits her down on a bench.

    “Did you eat buckwheat?” He asks sternly.

    Maomao doesn’t remember ever telling Lahan about her sensitivity to buckwheat nor ever mentioning it in his presence. His extensive knowledge of her can only thus be the result of his freak tendencies, or worse—that monocled weirdo’s. 

    Yet in that fleeting second, with her burning throat and her trembling hands, annoyance doesn’t come to her.

    “I don’t– I don’t know,” she says, breathless.

    “How can you not know what you put in your own mouth?!”

    There it is. The everlasting exasperation she feels thrumming through her veins whenever her abacus-face of a cousin finds himself in her immediate vicinity. She goes to hit his shin but loses her balance as a new coughing fit racks her body.

    Or: Maomao accidentally ingests buckwheat, and it's not even an assassination attempt. Rude.

    Summary

    “Am I supposed to be the Moon Prince's keeper?” She answers Basen. “Why aren’t you with the Moon Prince?”

    Which is by far the most logical question yet, being that Basen is Jinshi’s official bodyguard and has been so for several years now—not to mention his personal friend.

    He scolds down at her in his usual unpleasant way, but he does look slightly uncomfortable as he pulls on her sleeve to bring her closer.

    “He’s been chatting with Lady Mingxia for quite a long while now. I've been asked to, uh," he clears his throat, "leave them alone."

    Or: Jinshi has always been stupidly beautiful and excessively good at attracting problems, so Maomao really doesn't know what Basen expects her to do about itor the fact he has suddenly disappeared from an Imperial reception with the newly arrived and very pretty daughter of the Southern governor to mess around in the gardens.

    Summary

    But it was after the garden party that the cough seemed to stick to Jinshi like glue; as the season passed and Princess Lingli grew, so did his cough. Gossip raced through the court like wildfire, that Jinshi was not just coughing. It was tuhua, they whispered over the laundry basins and the drying-lines, tuhua that was murmured in the gardens, tuhua when the ambassadors arrived and the elegant eunuch was nowhere to be found (though Maomao knew it was not tuhua that kept him away then, though few would believe what had).

    She did catch him in the act, only once, face hidden behind his sleeve. There were no petals, no buds, no whole-blooming flowers in his wake. It was a long-running cold, perhaps an allergy.

    That was all.
