Summary
Wolverine was an unsociable person. Kurt knew this. What he didn't know was how he was supposed to deal with his unsociable nature when they couldn't step more than a foot apart.
______
In which Kurt and Logan get separated from the rest of the X-Men during a sentinel fight and end up handcuffed together in the middle of the woods. In order to get back in one piece they're going to have to learn something about each other... and maybe a bit about themselves in the process.- Language:

Summary
It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions.
The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pilot into their mecha permanently, that way their mind wasn’t being strained by the constant in and out. Unfortunately that strategy backfired and the pilots started going neurotic much, much faster, and this time they were giant and made of metal and much harder to put down.
So, the obvious next step would be to pull the plug on that idea and go back to the drawing board, right? No, that’s ridiculous, the next step was obviously to simply…
Make the mecha forget they’d ever been human in the first place.
Somewhere along the line someone should have pulled the plug, but they’d already invested so much into the project, and you know what they say about sunk cost fallacy.

Summary
Not every lie is malicious or in reverence to entrap a listener in a bond they can never escape unless they are told the truth. Sometimes its just a wall meant to keep things out rather than in. Felwinter tended to be right, even when he hoped he wasn't. Was that explanation not enough for you?
"I am Felwinter, I need no introductions."
Set after Season of the Arrivals and during late Witch Queen Expansion

Cats and Coffee by SilvermistAnimeLover

Summary
When he expelled his entire First Year Heroics class, that was supposed to be the end of it. Aizawa was going to go home, get some coffee and forget the day ever happened. He wasn't supposed to be the accidental target of a rogue Quirk and end up with four legs and fur. On top of that, he was hopelessly lost somewhere in Musutafu. At least, he was until he was picked up by some timid green-haired child who seemed to be far too alone for Shouta's liking. Something about the kid had an old protective instinct rearing up in him. And he didn't like the way All Might was talking, either.
Fine. UA could wait a bit. He had a Problem Child to look after first.
In which Aizawa is turned into a cat, and adopted by a very lonely third year middle school student named Midoriya Izuku.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always had a sharp mind. He aims to transfer to the U.A. Heroics course from the Support Course. He knows he’s smart enough to get in, and he’s always been gifted with making things. He just never thought his items would be of use to him before U.A.
Tsukauchi Naomasa never expected a phone call from a twelve-year-old child who’d been kidnapped by villains. Who was still in the hands of villains. But he’d be damned if he let this kid die.
A fic about Izuku being kidnapped by the LoV, but staying on the phone with Tsukauchi, Eraserhead, and Present Mic the whole time.

Summary
Purple had only taken off her elytra for a few days. Just a few days.
But her back itched.
Mango Orange was almost 40 years old and very knowledgeable, but even he could not tell you why he found a trail of dusty feathers in his living room at 7 A.M.
An hour, two cups of coffee, and a relatively okay breakfast later, he was finally ready to investigate it.
Green opened the trapdoor and called out with one long clarinet note.
... He didn't get a response. They called again, verging a few steps into the house proper. This time, a noise in the silence of the rooms.
---
Or: What happens when you come to rely on something with otherworldly origins too much, and it decides its code would be much better off merged with yours. After all, it was once living as well, and if you use it so much, surely having it as a permanent fixture in your life would be more of a boon than a curse.
It's only a shame that the process is so painful.
(Maybe less of a shame that the people around you love you enough to help, though.)

Summary
When Doc woke up, Lightning was in the same position he fell asleep in which was odd because the kid couldn’t sit still if his life depended on it. He decided to let the kid sleep a little more, hoping he’d wake up once Doc had gotten everything ready.
He hadn’t.
The race wasn’t until four that afternoon, but there were still a handful of pre-race activities they needed to take care of. Pulling the covers off Lightning, the kid still didn’t move. Doc shook Lightning’s shoulder to wake him up, but that hadn’t worked either.
“Kid? Get up, we gotta go.”
Still nothing.
When Doc grabbed his wrist, his fingers grazed where his pulse was. It was slow, even for someone who was sleeping. Going in for a real observation, his pulse was indeed abnormally slow. Now he was concerned. Why was his pulse so low?
“Lightning?” Shaking him a little harder, Lightning was yet to stir at any action Doc took. Doc leaned in and raised his eyelids to find that his pupils were largely dilated. He knew something wasn’t right.
Lightning had been with him all night. What the hell happened?
or
At the party before the final qualifying race, someone spikes Lightning's drink to keep him from qualifying.
