Summary
Old friends have a way of haunting you, Hank had said once. Connor wasn’t sure if it was another metaphor eluding his understanding or something that he was expected to categorize as fact.
…He gets it now.

Summary
What happens when you put Ren, a sleep-deprived, socially awkward college student just trying his best, into the same house as Doctor M? Y’know, the most well-known villain of the city?
Well. It’s a lot.
A lot happens.
(or, the one fic where Ren and Doc are roommates, and i force them to go through funny situations, shenanigans, hijinks and more for my own entertainment)

Summary
A phenomenon explaining how we miss the obvious in plain sight: when we are not paying attention to something, we are surprisingly very likely not to see it, whether it be money in a tree or a man in a gorilla suit.
or: in which Genos thinks about what it means to be human, and ends up paying attention to all the wrong things.

Summary
Saitama is bad when it comes to friendships: starting conversations, talking, connecting to someone—it’s all foreign to him. He’s used to people generally disliking or avoiding him, and that sort of life is okay by him.
So imagine his surprise when he does manage to get himself a real, actual friend (status still pending). And all he had to do was get beat up.
Figures.

Summary
When Hawks takes on an intern, he, like with most things, does not think it through. And so, when he inevitably messes up, it’s not really a surprise—what is a surprise is that Hawks gets a second chance. He’s never been the best at making it up to people, or at fixing his mistakes, or at…you get the point. But you should already know: Hawks does not think things through.
And this thing? Not an exception.
(or: in which I explore why Hawks was such a fucking asshole during the internship arc, how Tokoyami felt about that whole thing (spoiler: badly), how they both dealt with the aftermath (spoiler: also badly), and the next logical step.)
(or or: Hawks doesn’t know how to handle teenagers, emotions, emotions that teenagers specifically experience, his job, his life, the impending crumble of hero society, teenagers, and so on. But he’s determined to fix this…or to at least not make it worse. And he’s trying. You can’t say he’s not, because he is. Very, very hard.)

Summary
“Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”
They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.
You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”
Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”
or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.

Moon manages to find and contact the mysterious Erratic Pulse, just as she promised her local group. Unfortunately, they seem intent on being difficult to question, and too stubborn to talk out of their plans. It almost reminds her of somebody...
