    Summary

    He wants Izuku to pull him close and run fingers through his hair, whispering soft, sweet nothings into his ear while Katsuki curls into him like something entirely inhuman, seeking warmth and comfort. And maybe that’s exactly what he is- inhuman. In Izuku’s presence, he is no longer a man, no longer a person, no longer real. Rather, he is an idea, a concept, an entity tethered to one thing, and one thing only: Izuku.

    Three months after the war, Katsuki is not speaking to Izuku. Izuku tries to pretend that his heart is not rotting inside of his chest.

    Summary

    “Asked him to join twice and he still said no. He asked about love advice too. Never thought he’d ever need that.” Katsuki scoffs.

    “Wait,” Mitsuki grabs her son's warm hands, gripping them tightly. As if he let go, he’d run out that door and do something impulsive that would land him on the national news, hero gossip magazines and on every internet forum. “Do—Did you like Izuku?”

    Or, Katsuki visits to his childhood home after Izuku walks away to Ochako. He plans on sitting on the couch, contemplating what went wrong between them. Until a photo album filled with stupid memories and a mother who cares helps him unpack his feelings.

    Summary

    After his kidnapping, Izuku struggles. He’s meek and quiet, violent, nothing as he was.

    The mumbling Katsuki always complained about, becomes something he begs for. In rough, scarred hands he holds Izuku’s face and tries very hard to be gentle.

    There’s a dread that nibbles at his gut.

    Izuku has lost something, clearly. Katsuki thinks that maybe, just maybe, if he can get in close enough he can slot back in the missing piece.

    ——

    Katsuki clutches the award in his hands, and stares out amongst the mass of eyes watching him. They want one thing, and it’s reassurance.

    Katsuki is not their man.

    “There’s a lot I’m already doing. I don’t need to say it, and I don’t need to wait to be higher in the ranks.” Katsuki answers, strong. This is not his intended answer, and his PR team is going to give him the ass-whooping of his life once he steps off stage. He clears his throat, and promises:

    “I’m reopening the search for Japan’s saviour, Deku. Join me or don’t, I don’t care, but I’m bringing him home.”

    With that, he turns and walks away. There’s a rumbling roar of the crowd that follows him.

    Summary

    It’s been three months, specifically, since Robert asked me to be just a friend, and I wholeheartedly agreed to be whatever he needed.

    He’s working on himself. Drinking less, smoking less, being angry less, and sometimes he calls me with too much emotion in his throat, tongue slurred and eyes red rimmed and god, I just want to take it all away.

    So true to the tone of the source material, but infinitely better written. Another banger.

    Summary

    Ten years after the war, an assassin puts an arrow between Sokka's ribs.

    Azula reacts appropriately, for a given value of appropriate.

    (AKA 'hey remember how the fire nation solves disputes using codified duels to the death? the fire nation does not have what we'd call a modern judicial system. I'm not even sure they have laws')
