    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

    But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

    Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

    (This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

    Summary

    In a world where magic is shunned and demonized, Wonwoo has grown accustomed to living like a ghost. He did not expect that his magic would finally become useful when an awfully endearing junior stumbles into his life, and he definitely did not expect said junior to have escaped murder multiple times. Maybe Wonwoo should get out more.

    (or, alternatively: wonwoo and mingyu are two sides of the same coin—the wish to protect overpowers their fears, even as the past threatens to devour them and their friends whole.)

    Summary

    When Jihoon is fourteen, he's just moved from Busan to Seoul, starting his life as a trainee at Pledis Entertainment. He's exploring music and working on his vocals, though his dancing definitely needs improvement.

    When Jihoon is fourteen, he's both alone for the first time, and less alone than he's ever been in his entire life. Being away from his parents but surrounded by other teenage boys turns making friends into a necessity, and he wants desperately to turn the boys around him into brothers.

    When Jihoon is fourteen, he's finally fallen headlong into his first ever crush, the feeling so terrifying and all-encompassing that he's keeping it as quiet and close to his chest as he can. He doesn't yet know how to strike the balance between letting himself be scared, and letting himself be loved. He's never had to learn.

    Then, just one month before turning fifteen, Jihoon meets Kim Mingyu.

    Summary

    Lan Jingyi doesn't know how the hell their perfectly ordinary plans to go to a perfectly ordinary concert turned into a life-threatening road trip filled with monsters, magical rocks, and a megalomaniac who keeps yelling about finding an evil overlord named something as corny as The Yiling Patriarch, but what he does know is that his parents must never ever find out.

    Really, the only saving grace here is that they made new friends. Strange, probably-extremely-powerful, and definitely-not-human friends, but A-Yuan and his dad saved them and now they'll help them save Hanguang-Jun! As far as Lan Jingyi is concerned, that means he's ride-or-die for them forever.

    Summary

    It’s desperation that drives Felix to place himself at the mercy of someone he has no right to expect kindness from. Six months on the street with his funds running low, if one of his father’s men doesn’t kill him then the oncoming winter will. Going to Chan is a decided risk, he might put a bullet in Felix's skull instead of taking on the job he's offering, but— well. At least that death will be quick.

    But Chan doesn’t kill him. He gives Felix shelter, gives him a home. And Felix finds himself in way too deep with a man who doesn’t even fully know who he’s falling for.
