Summary
Now, as Xingqiu lays in bed and recalls the way his father, mother, and brother smile down at him around the dinner table, the weight of being an heir haunts him once more as he considers, for the millionth time: who is my future supposed to be for?
As a fourteen-year-old Xingqiu considers his next steps, an idea comes to mind. As always, it has to do with writing.
---Or, Xingqiu is a genius in all the ways that matter, but even he can't think his way out of this pickle... unless?

Summary
Shortly after the first rugby game of the season, Ymir confesses her love to Historia in the girl’s locker room.
“Go out with me,” she tells her, not even sparing a glance at their audience. “Marry me.”
Ymir is the only girl on the rugby team. Historia is the captain of the cheerleaders. They’re best friends, roommates, even more compatible than soulmates. They make a perfect movie couple except for a tiny, insignificant detail.
“I’m not gay,” says Historia.
---Or, rumors fly about Ymir and Historia at school, and they're all true except Historia will never admit it. Either that, or Historia is the biggest procrastinator in the history of all procrastinators.

Habits of My Heart by pocketsizedowls
Fandom: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
14 Jan 2021
Summary
A monstrosity of character and relationship analysis, POV alternating. Each character learns a little more about him or herself along the way. I hope that you will find their self-realization relatable as well as interesting. Each fic can be read separately.
1) For a Change of Pace - TodoDeku, completed (touches on past child abuse and self-confidence issues. Social anxiety, if you will).
2) Here to Stay - mainly MomoJirou and Tsuchako, completed (touches on feminism, wlw struggles, communication, and coming out).
3) Currently Untitled - Kiribaku, unplanned and unwritten yet but will most likely follow the 2 chapters format of the TodoDeku fic.- Words:

Summary
Gyuvin thinks about holding Ricky’s hand for more than a bow at the end of a show, and he thinks about the little nook at the end of the corridor on the top floor of the company building where people go to have private telephone conversations. He wonders if two bodies would fit in there pressed up against each other and how long it would take Hanbin-hyung to realise two of his members are missing if he just took Ricky by the wrist and dragged him there to confess to him.
Now they’re not trainees and Gyuvin needs to stop thinking up stupid shit like that, except he doesn’t know how to stop.
OR
Gyuvin wants Ricky to call him his boyfriend for real.

Summary
“What do you do with the flowers?”
Al-Haitham paused. “What do you mean?”
“Like, what do you do with the flowers you cough up? Do you keep them or…?”
He furrowed his eyebrows. “What—why would I keep them? I obviously throw them away. Why are you asking?”
“I was just wondering—I mean if you’re not using them—like, if I could possibly…have them?”
Al-Haitham stared at him incredulously. “You want my unrequited love flowers?”
“Yes?” Kaveh flushed red. “Since…since you’re not using them.”
Since you’re not using them—
“What the hell would I be using them for? What the hell are you using them for?”
Al-Haitham has Hanahaki disease and coughs up mourning flowers. Kaveh asks if he can use them for his ascension materials.

Summary
“Oh, right – Alhaitham.” Kaveh claps a hand to his forehead. “Cyno, if you see him at the Akademiya tomorrow, don’t mention this to him, would you? I haven’t told him yet.”
“Told him?” Cyno asks slowly, a wary glint in his eye. “What exactly haven’t you told him?”
“That I’m getting married,” Kaveh grimaces. “I wanted to tell him myself – I suppose I do want him at the wedding after all, you know – but I didn’t get a chance yet. You know what it’s like, trying to have a conversation with him.”
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
Kaveh is a single man. That's about it, really.or: the one in which Kaveh gets married, but not to whom you think.

Summary
It will do Ayato’s worries some good to part Thoma from Itto for a while. Still, he wonders if it’s too cruel to make Thoma trek across Narukami and back after the night he'd surely had with Itto.
But then, Thoma breaks into a light jog, and Ayato thinks maybe Itto didn’t fuck him hard enough after all.
It’s a complicated relationship between Kamisato Ayato and Thoma—a simmering, unspoken tension that spans for years between a lord and his favorite retainer.
Then, Arataki Itto barrels in by accident and simplifies it. Sort of.
( In which Itto brings a level of emotional intelligence that two very smart men lack. )
