Summary
"The colloquial name is bloodstone," says the man from StrexCorp's Acquisitions division. "Heard of them?"
Carlos shakes his head. "No, but I'm not a minerologist. Are you certain this wasn't intended for the geology department?"
~
Carlos is a loyal company employee, who has never been to any place called Night Vale and never met anyone named Cecil…which doesn’t explain the mysterious woman appearing in his lab, or these dreams he’s started having…

Summary
The Jokester has gotten used to his face not being the most reassuring sight in the world, what with the scars, but everyone he meets all of a sudden acting like they think he's some kind of puppy-kicking monster, that's...new.
It's almost a relief when Owlman shows up. The black outfit is also new, but at least here's someone who's supposed to hate him.

Eleutherophobia: n., Greek, the fear of freedom
Tom survived Rachel's assassination attempt; the yeerk in his head did not. Now he's left dealing with his overprotective but traumatized parents, a little brother battling survivor guilt in a world that thinks he's a superhero, his terrifyingly awesome ex-neighbor determined to change the world, the girl from high school who he loved enough to follow to a Sharing meeting, and a whole bunch of other former hosts who think that just because a yeerk wearing his body once led a revolution Tom actually knows what he's talking about half the time.

Summary
Akechi Goro is alive – one of his biggest regrets is alive and standing in front of him looking like he’s ready for some highbrow sports photo shoot when what he really needs is five years intensive therapy and at least five more steps away from Akira.
No, no, no – the universe is not allowed to shove this on him so soon after it just flung him three fucking years into the past.
(Sometimes the only way to save someone is to let them save you first.)
(Huge canon divergence. Akira's past and future affect him big time.)Translation in Chinese now available on privatter and AO3 courtesy of coakira2!

Summary
Izuku Midoriya used to want to be a hero. It seems a distant dream, now, after everything that he's done—after everything that he's been made to do. But it's still there. It's a dim, flickering flame, burning lower by the day.
He doesn't have time to concern himself with that though, these days he's too focused on staying alive to think too much about what he can never have.
Then All Might takes a job teaching at UA, and the universe says hey you know what would be fun? What if we fucked Izuku over even more than we already have? and thus, Izuku ends up in the General Education class of UA with strict instructions to report everything he can, because, thank fucking no one, he just can't catch a goddamn break.
AKA Hisashi Midoriya is a member of one of the most notorious underground supervillain organizations, and Izuku is being forced to help them (even though, trust him, he'd really rather not). Too bad that they don't predict that Izuku's going to get adopted by half the faculty when they send him to spy on the prestigious hero academy.

Summary
NOT a ghost story, I repeat: NOT a ghost story! Detective Takagi decides to ask some *very* direct questions of Conan; secrets will be revealed, cars will break down, weirdness will prevail and people will (of course) get murdered. This follows the episode referenced in volumes 36-37 of the manga (the bit with the bomber who killed Matsuda and where Conan and Takagi get trapped for a while in an elevator with a timebomb on top of it which Conan defuses. That one.)
NOTE: I am laboriously transferring over my ancient fics from The Pit of Voles (fanfiction.net)-- please be patient with me!

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.
(This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

You've determined the hobbies of the monarch you serve are as follows:
1. Ill-timed pranks.
2. Cooking.
3. Subconsciously pulling elaborate political schemes off perfectly, ad infinitum, every one of which inches his mind closer to some ineffable dark chasm you're curious to find the depth of.Anyway, he makes damn good lasagna.
