stars (could you bring me home?) by nocturalApollo

Summary
Shivers wreck his body again, and God, it is so cold. Too cold.
He wants to go to sleep.
Slumping against the cold brick wall and ignoring how his exposed skin—exposed only due to the numerous tears of his costume, his plans to stitch them back together long forgotten—scrapes against the concrete, he looks up at the sky. Stars hang like lanterns against the dark tapestry of the night, leading the lost back home. Maybe if he wished hard enough, the stars could lead him back to U.A.

Summary
“Buckaroo,” Athena begins, taking a proper look at Buck’s state. Whether it be the dark bags hanging beneath those void eyes, or the way he’s still favouring one leg, Buck can see the moment her worry switches up a notch. “Is anything else going on?”
He probably shouldn’t have, but he laughed. A bitter, yet guttural laugh, that comes from a place of exhaustion and the build-up of months spent battling the lawsuit and the after. “No, no, I am fine. Everything is fine.”
--------------------
Or, Buck isn't okay after the lawsuit.

Another small step forward. “I promise you, none of this was planned. Just, let my firefighter go, and we can talk about this.”
“You mean your kid?” He jostles Buck again, almost completely knocking him off-balance. “You took my family, why shouldn’t I take yours?”

Or, a shift at the firehouse turns south when Bobby's past refuses to stay buried.

Summary
“It doesn’t matter.” Izuku utters, turning to face his brother. “It’ll be more dangerous if we both stay at U.A. The better option is to go and fight my way out here.”
Shouta scoffs. “That’s a death wish.”
Izuku shakes his head. “It’s better than risking you dying again.”

Summary
“I’m fine!” he sputters, but his voice shakes.
“You are absolutely not fine,” Eddie snaps, already reaching for him. His hands close firmly around Buck’s forearms, cold water soaking into his own turnout sleeves as he hauls him upright. “You fell into a freezing creek, Buck.”
Buck coughs, shivering as he tries to push wet hair out of his eyes. “Okay, maybe not fine-fine.”
----------------------
Or, a rescue in the woods doesn't exactly go as planned.

Summary
Julypocalypse 2025: Thirty-One Days of Beautiful Ruin
A month-long dive into the raw, the fractured, and the quietly shattering. Spanning eight fandoms and thirty-one fics (mostly one-shots with a few lingering ghosts), this collection explores the aftermaths we try to outrun: grief, loss, hurt, and the moments that break or bind us.
Not every story ends in ruin, but every one begins with something worth aching for.
