Summary
"Mi Amor?"
Those lilac eyes, those irises that closely resemble flower petals, oh so mesmerizing, but there's something different about them. They don't shine the same way they do when Iso looks at him. His eyes are dull, despite their vibrant color. That bright smile he always receives whenever Gekko is with him, replaced by a neutral expression he remembers during Iso's first few weeks at Valorant Protocol.
"Iso?"
There's confusion in his expression, and Gekko doesn't like the frown he receives upon trying to reach out to him.
Remorsefully he says, "I'm sorry," as he takes a step back from him, and there's a weird pain in his eyes that matches the one Gekko's feels in his heart. "I don't... I don't remember you."

Summary
In one corner of the world, grief has a tight hold over the heart of one. It suffocates him, prevents him from carrying on the memory that is Zhao Yu with all the love that exists in his broken heart. The grief chokes him, numbs him to his very core. Days look bleak, dreary, black and white, for how does Mateo live without the very person he fought so hard to protect, fought so hard to return him home and the person he loves unconditionally, lost memories be damned. He feels lost, a darkness at the end of the tunnel with no light to be found.
In another corner of the world, sadness sits on an invisible thrown in the middle of his chest amidst the whirlwind of emotions surrounding it. Trapped in an unknown location with someone who took his left eye and potentially tried to kill him, everything feels like it's gone to shit. Nothing feels the same anymore. Zhao Yu feels trapped in an invisible cage, locked away in the shadow that is the Scions of Hourglass, despite the organization no longer a threat looming over him. Yet, without Mateo, his life feels unlike his own.
In the aftermath of Zhao Yu's death, changes have occurred for both of them. Perhaps, love persevering can help both of them heal.

Summary
Shouta Aizawa thinks there’s something off about Midoriya Izuku. He’s been thinking that since he saw the boy in his classroom, hunched over a seat, making himself as small as possible. Elbows tucked in close, calloused knuckles, and darting eyes.A crooked nose, the kind of odd, subtle little twist that gives the boy’s large green eyes a quirky flare. The kind of nose that was broken one too many times and hadn’t been set properly often enough.
That was not the behavior of someone with a ridiculously overpowered Quirk. That was especially not the behavior he’d seen during the exam footage, the footage of a green-haired teenager who was flashy and open and seemed to radiate power.
Illogical.
--
Or: Midoriya gets into vigilantism a little too early, with a Quirk more like his uncle's than his father's, and, frankly, half the time he's just along for the ride.

Summary
“What was the question? Something about their quirk?”
Izuku’s shoulders dropped slightly.
“I asked them if someone without a quirk could become a hero.”
Stendhal-san snorted. Izuku’s shoulders nearly covered his ears. He knew, he heard it from All Might already, he didn’t need to have Stendhal-san repeat it, too-
“Obviously,” Stendhal-san said, leaning back on his arms. “Quirks are merely tools; plenty of heroes have perfect quirks and not an ounce of heroism in their blood. You’re already more of a hero than numbers 2 through 10, combined.”
Izuku could feel the tears slipping down his cheeks, sobbing at the words he had been yearning to hear for so long.
“Did they- did they not say that?” Stendhal-san asked, startled by Izuku’s reaction.
***
Or, in other words: the five times Izuku learned something about Stendhal-san, and the one time he got to use everything he knew.

Summary
“But it doesn’t matter now, Katsuki once again reminds himself. Because now they were about to be thrown into an arena together to fight to the death. There wouldn’t exactly be a way for Katsuki to work in a long overdue thank-you, and it certainly wouldn’t come off as very sincere if Katsuki was trying to slit Deku’s throat at the same time.”
—
All his life, Katsuki Bakugou has wanted to compete in The Hunger Games.
But even with Katsuki's keen instincts and impressive hunting skills, he'll have to weigh the cost of his survival and victory against something he never anticipated to find in a battle royale to the death: love.
