    Summary

    According to Plato, humans originally had four legs, four arms, and two faces. But due to their pride, Zeus, the god of the sky, split them in half and scattered their bodies across the world. What happened afterwards wasn’t particularly clear, but many had said that, agonized as they were without their other halves, humanity searched high and low until—over time—they couldn’t quite recall what they were missing or searching for.

     

    Soulmate AU in which people are repeatedly swapped into the bodies of their soulmates until they fall in love, but Izuku is a Quirkless recluse and Katsuki is the number one Hero in Japan.

    Summary

    220 B.C.E: Laurent fights in his father's army, but watches his brother die at the hands of Damianos, the gladiator son & heir of Akeilos. Instead of taking his place as Emperor, Laurent finds himself pitted against his uncle's Court, where the rules change every day & none of them are in his favor. In a bid to survive, Laurent becomes friends with the one boy he thinks will be able to survive his uncle (even if the age gap makes conversations repetitive at times).

    212 B.C.E.: A grieving Damianos charges into battle for the final time, after saying goodbye to the two people he'd thought were untouchable.

    2020: Nicaise is an undergraduate paleoanthropology student. He's in Italy with classmates, experts & his professors as they continue the decades-long search for the final resting place of the Lost King of Akeilos.The only thing more valuable than the Lost King's final resting place is an answer to the millennia-old mystery: where did the Forgotten Son of Vere go? While excavating, Nicaise falls through a ceiling into a burial tomb. But as Nicaise works and studies to discover more about these men, their lives and their deaths, he begins to realize a broken bone might be the least of his issues...

    Summary

    "Where are you going, Peppermint?" Bakugou asked with a frown.

    "To my room."

    "I thought we could all watch a movie together," Midoriya pouted. "You don't want to?"

    Of course, he wanted to join them. But he didn't know that he should. He never knew what he was and wasn't supposed to do around his friends anymore, now that they were together. He was the odd thing on the edge of the painting that didn't quite fit the painter's style- the thing that would keep art enthusiasts confused for years after the artist's passing. When the painting was hung in grand halls, people would always want to know why that odd thing was there in the background because it was evident to anyone who looked that it just didn't belong.

    "I wouldn't want to intrude," Shouto finally stated. Because that's all he felt like he'd been doing as of late when it came to his two best friends. Of course, he wanted to spend time with them. But he couldn't help feeling left out whenever he was around them, even though it wasn't their fault.

    Summary

    "I think," Damianos said softly, "that you have not been treated the way you deserve."

    For the first time in his life, Laurent did not know what to say back.

    Summary

    Laurent knows that there is something wrong with him. At twenty, his daemon still hasn't settled. While Nicaise tries to stop his from taking a fixed form, Laurent knows he is tainted. And he knows who to blame - Prince Damianos, who slew his brother and took everything from him.

    When Damianos becomes his prisoner, Laurent seeks revenge for everything that happened to him. But Damianos is far from the man he thought.

    (Daemon AU covering Captive Prince and Prince's Gambit. Can be read separately from the other fics in this series)
