    Summary

    “Don’t laugh,” Hitoshi almost snarls out. “Don’t you dare laugh at me for this.”

    On a typical day, his words would be respected. He’d be given tight smirks and smiles, mirth dancing in everyone’s eyes as they politely swallowed back words.

    It’s not that day.

    Uraraka almost bends in half with laughter, arms wrapped around her torso. “You’re so cute,” she partly cackles. Hagakure has wrapped him up into her arms, pinching his cheeks despite his struggles. “Itty bitty baby!”

    “I’m going to kill you,” Hitoshi threatens. His squished cheeks make the threat soft.

    or: on a morning patrol, hitoshi has the rotten luck of being hit with a de-aging quirk.

    Summary

    Even in a world where Midoriya Izuku does develop a quirk, life is not kind.

    Somehow, ineffably, he still finds his way to being a hero, even when his body fails him. Even if it's the last thing he does.

    (where quirks are not always kind, and the author ruminates on the idea that trauma can be a list of smaller things that grow into something bigger and all the more willing to swallow someone whole. But it’ll be okay, eventually, because Izuku’s got Mirio by his side, and Mirio has got him).

    Summary

    As black spots enter his vision, he can’t help but feel like all the other shit in his life has led up to this moment. From the day he turned four— no, from the day he was born— he was a person waiting to die. That’s what everyone has been beating into him, isn’t it? That death would be a welcome mercy for someone like him. And no matter how badly he wanted it to change, now he knows it never would. Because, right now, Izuku Midoriya was choking, suffocating, dying.
    -

    OR

    The day of the sludge villain incident two things happen to Izuku Midoriya. One, his dreams are crushed for the last time, forcing him to find a new goal for his life. Two, he force-manifests a quirk, but he thinks it's a shitty one, like some god playing a cruel joke in what were supposed to be his final moments.

    Summary

    The King is gone. Derek knows this. The King is gone and Derek is here and the life they have built is real and good and full of plants with Latin labels and forty-seven thousand subscribers and butterfly pasta on Wednesday nights.

    The fault lines are also real.

    It starts on a Monday with a book that mentions stars. By Friday Derek has spent a week navigating cracks in the wall between what he knows and what humans are supposed to know, and he is exhausted, and he has said none of this out loud, and Avery has noticed all of it and said nothing and simply stayed close in the particular Avery way of staying close that does not announce itself and does not demand anything and is somehow the most useful thing in the world.
    On Friday afternoon Derek says: I think I need to talk to someone professional about this.

    Avery says: I know a really good therapist.
    Derek says: of course you do.
    Avery says: I looked her up three weeks ago. Just in case.

    That is, somehow, the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to Derek Hutchins.
