Summary
A gamebreaking glitch tore the game session to shreds, right before they reached the end. Dirk Strider was already dead at the time. Temporarily. Which left him to revive in the aftermath. As the Prince of Heart, he doesn't have much experience putting souls back together, only breaking them, but at this point he seems to be the only one who even knows shit is broken.
He's the last person who'd trust himself with this. Not when he's out of time, out of place, and over his head being responsible for a little brother, a life, and a body his conveniently dead asshole of a splinterself already, thoroughly fucked up.
AKA: A game crash creates an unholy mashup of who the hell knows how many sburb sessions, and Dirk-as-Bro attempts to figure out wtf happened and how to fix shit for the brother who fears him, and the friends who don’t remember him. Because that’s what he does. But no Dirk has ever excelled when truly alone. Good thing he isn’t, he just needs to learn how to accept the help.

better luck next time by nauticalwarrior

Summary
As he falls, he lets himself think about it. He lets himself think that if he wakes up, if things go back again, it means that he does have a quirk. It means he really can take a swan dive off a roof and hope for better luck in his next life. It means that all along, he’s been useless and worthless because he hasn’t died yet.
He hits the ground.
And then he opens his eyes.
(vigilante!izuku AU where izuku has a quirk that rewinds time when he dies)

Long Night in the Valley by Marsalias
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia

Summary
On paper, the Hero Commission's plan to investigate Midoriya Izuku under the guise of a training course for combating mental quirks is solid; foolproof, even. If Midoriya turns out to be innocent, they can pass everything off as part of the training exercise, assuming he remembered any of it. Otherwise, they could beg forgiveness after the traitor was securely imprisoned in Tartarus.
The paper plan failed to take into account the feral ghosts living in Midoriya Izuku's head, or his equally feral living friends.
Time to bring on the chaos.

Summary
After the deaths of his foster family were blamed on him, Hitoshi has spent the past two years in a Yakuza compound where they’ve been testing their quirk-killing serum on him. His only solace? The silver-haired girl living in a room opposite his.
Every night Hitoshi promises to break her out and to begin with, he doesn’t know how. But that changes when he’s offered the chance to enrol into U.A and feed information back to villains. If being a villain himself is what it would take to save that silver-haired girl, then that was a price Hitoshi was willing to pay.
Even if he knew the guilt of hurting good people would slowly begin to eat him alive.
OR: Hitoshi is forced to be a traitor & will do anything to save Eri. Dabi is a relatively decent guy, Overhaul is a piece of shit & Aizawa is the best dad.

Summary
Roman had everything now. He was prince; he had his brother by his side; he no longer had to worry about where to sleep, what to eat.
At the cost of one thing: his true love.
But that's alright if he never fell in love. Right?

Summary
"-Need a place to stay. Just for the night." Bakugo picked back up immediately, nary an apology or explanation to be found in his slightly breathless and annoyed- but still unnervingly quiet- voice.
"Bakugo. What is happening?" Shouta demands hotly. Bakugo drags a breath in through his teeth.
"Fuck, sensei, a lot is happening. Can you fucking help us or not?"

Dave had always assumed that at the very least, he'd have the sanctuary of his own mind. Turned out, even the gates to that were shaky at best.

Summary
Mankind fell and robots took over the world. But all that is old news, that's not the story you want to hear.
This is a story about hate, this is a story about love, this is a story about family, this is a story about friendship. This is a story about an underground bunker, robots gaining sentience and two brothers running away from an unknown threat.But mostly, this is a story about children growing up after the end of the world

Summary
Your name is Dirk Strider, and all your life as far as you can remember, which is a pretty damn long time by now, you've lived at this hidden temple to Apollo. You study medicine and music, keep the temple in good shape, say prayers, and occasionally take care of pilgrims who make their way here on religious journeys.
Or at least you did, until the temple stopped getting visitors. You'd resigned yourself to living alone out here until Jake English, a young man wandering the world with a curse. He's "questing", he says, but the look of it is he's got no choice.
You tell yourself you shouldn't, but it's hard not to bond over curses.
