Summary
It isn’t the look of his marred skin that bothers him; it’s the ache. But when Izuku digs his hands in earth, the motion feels like a balm; he pulls weeds like dragging the ache out of his own bones, soothed by the knowledge that his hands are still useful, here.

Summary
Izuku watches long fingers slowly reach out of the glass, wrapping themselves around the mirror’s edge as the man steps into real life. It smells like sugar and smoke. The clouds follow him out as he bows his head to fit his deadly-looking horns through the frame, red tattoos glowing faintly all over his bare torso and half onto his leathery wings. He makes the rest of the room seem dimmer just by standing in it. Molten metal eyes bore into Izuku’s, paralysing him as he kneels on the floor in front of this beautiful, terrifying apparition.
“I summoned you because want a boyfriend,” Izuku says and then winces at the shallowness of his own request. “I mean, I want to fall in love. I want to be assured that I’ll find someone someday who’ll love me the way I love them. Who isn’t grossed out by me. By the way I am.”
The demon tilts his head. "I offer you a place at my side. You want companionship? I give it in exchange for your soul.”

“Sorry,” Izuku said, wiping the gravy off with the back of his hand. “Um… this is —” Did Okami even have a word for squid? Gods, he was so unpractised. “Summer festival food,” he explained instead. “Y-Yummy.” To his own horror, Izuku began rubbing a circle over his stomach.
Katsuki’s lip quirked, and Izuku prayed very hard for Nana-sama to lightning strike him into ash.
Izuku’s shoulders sagged. “My Okami—”
“—Is still atrocious.” Katsuki smirked, clearly revelling in the shock on Izuku’s face.
Izuku and Katsuki weren't meant to become close. They weren't even really meant to meet. The differences between their clans — and the significant language barrier between them — should have ensured that.
But nobody has ever needed perfect grammar to fall in love anyway.

Summary
In ancient times, the lands and humanity were protected by animal-human hybrids, Legends, that carry One For All’s spirit. Being a Legend taking the form of a ram, Midoriya Izuku travels town to town and uses his powers to weave his magical wool into healing cloth items for humans.
One day however, when hopelessly lost and injured in his ram form during a snowstorm, he's rescued by a hunter, Bakugou Katsuki. To repay his debt, Izuku shapeshifts himself as a human and presents himself at Katsuki’s door as a traveller seeking refuge from the storm.
Izuku’s plans to weave his gifts of gratitude for Katsuki and leave by morning goes awry when the storm, his sustained injuries, and the townspeople already struggling with sickness unexpectedly forces Izuku and Katsuki to cohabitate... indefinitely.
Loyal to his duties, Izuku dedicates himself to weaving for the village to help them combat the sickness. But now, by living with Katsuki and the townspeople, he’s forced to grapple with what it means to be a human, have a home, and maybe even fall in love.
Or: A loose adaptation of the Japanese folklore, 'The Crane Wife.' Made for the Ever After Bang.

Summary
He looked down at his shirt and gasped. "It is. How did that—oh, the laundry. I must've grabbed it by mistake. I'm sorry, Todoroki." Midoriya blushed; the tips of his ears turned red.
Shouto shook his head. "Don't be sorry. We had a really late night. It's fine. It looks better on you, anyway."
"I don't know about that, but thank you," said Midoriya with a chuckle.
There was a loud snap. Shouto glanced at Bakugou sitting at the table with Kaminari and Kirishima, textbooks splayed open and highlighted in an assortment of colors. For all that Bakugou was determined to bring their classmates' grades up, his temper sometimes got the better of him, as it now apparently had; Shouto saw the source of the noise was a pencil not so much broken in half but pulverized in Bakugou's grip. His jaw was clenched, and his teeth were grinding alarmingly.
Sounding both delighted and scandalized, Kaminari asked, "What's this about a late night?"
---
Shouto and Midoriya manage to bake a cake together. Afterwards, Midoriya accidentally takes Shouto's shirt, and Shouto is confused as to why Bakugou becomes so much more irritable.

Summary
“Huh,” Tetsurou mused. "Tsukki did thank everyone didn’t he…” He turned conspiratorially toward Kozume. “Did you hear what else he said during the match?”
“…The thing about Yamaguchi?” Kozume asked warily.
“Yeah! ‘He’s always been one step ahead of me after all,’” Tetsurou repeated, attempting to mimic Tsukishima’s usual drawl. “I think our little Tsukki has a crush!”
“Kuro,” Kozume sighed heavily. “That’s hardly evidence of anything.”
“Oh, come on, is that not some of the gayest shit you’ve ever heard?” Tetsurou argued. “And even if I’m wrong it’ll be perfect to mess with him!”
While waiting for the quarter finals of Nationals to start, Kuroo tries to use Yamaguchi to mess with Tsukishima, Yamaguchi's brain short circuits, and Tsukishima continues to play it cool.

“Will?” Derek whispers.
Will cracks one eye open. “Hmm?” he whispers back.
“Maybe we should break up.”
(Or, they kinda sorta break up for Art. Literally everyone thinks it’s a bad idea.)

Summary
Kojiro had insisted on moving in either shamefully early or woefully late, depending on how you measured things, because their schedules are so out of sync they might as well live in different time zones.
So Kojiro had given him a ring, maybe 20% as a joke (okay, twist his arm, 0%), and Kaoru had been a dick about it but eventually let Kojiro move in with him, and then he filed their taxes together and that was that.
Happily ever after.

Summary
He’s always thinking about Dex, these days; it’s like when he had gotten lost on the trains when he was home one summer, and a man had pointed to a station in the middle of the map and explained, “Everything leads back here.”
He turns and sees Will cupping his hands around his mouth, whooping as one of his compsci mentors does a truly ugly two step across the stage. The sun is shining onto his hair, not through it, and he’s smiling in a way Derek never thought he would allow himself to.
Everything leads back here, Derek thinks. His fingers are tingling from how Dex had filled his arms when they hugged each other goodbye.

“I won’t have to tell him, he’ll just know,” Shitty countered. “The next time you see him. He’s gonna be able to smell it on you.”
“He’s not a bomb-sniffing dog, Shitty, Jesus.”
Dex appeared over Derek’s shoulder. “Did you say something about a bomb?”
Derek sighed, world-weary. He was so fucking done with this day. “Sorry, bad choice of words when there’s a bunch of fucking first responders in my living room.”

Summary
volta (n.) a turning point or point of change in a poem, most commonly a sonnet.
*
Derek watches as Dex’s eyes flick over the poem. He pushes back the dishevelled hair in his face like it’ll help him see clearer. He mouths the words as he goes, pauses, reads each line again. His fingers tap against the page in iambic pentameter. When he comes to the final line, his lips pull up into a barely there smile. “That in black ink my love may still shine bright,” he murmurs. “That is kinda nice.”
(Or, five times a poem doesn’t reach its intended recipient, and one time it does; five drafts, and one work completed; five turning points, and one ending.)

It starts, for Derek at least, in the front seat of his car.
He’s not sure where it starts for Dex, but it had to have started somewhere. Derek assumes it’s been a long time coming for Dex.
Why else would Dex lean across the console to press a kiss to Derek’s mouth, like it’s the easiest thing in the world to do?

Turning 26 is hard. Turning 26 when all your dearest friends and loved ones are ambitious, driven, and high-achieving is even harder. Still, Tadashi has plenty to be proud of.

Summary
Tadashi ends up bringing him dinner in the bedroom, testing the office chair’s durability by fitting himself on Kei’s lap. “You could get some inspiration from the internet,” he mumbles, watching the cursor on the screen blinking against a blank document.
“The internet didn’t go through the painful torture of watching the dumbest mating ritual of the animal kingdom,” he grumbles. Tadashi’s chuckle tickles Kei’s neck, a huff of hot breath warming him to his core. If Kageyama and Hinata feel even half of this for each other —and he thinks they do— Kei owes them a nice fucking speech.
After all, he had witnessed their weird courtship from the front row. Who better than him to tell the world about just how much those two idiots were meant for each other?

“Tsukishima-kun?”
Shit. “Sorry, what did you say?”
“I said, you’re Tadashi-kun’s best friend, right?”
Yamaguchi’s given name startles him. He nods. “I think so.”
