Summary
It’s the right day, but the year is all wrong, and Dream suspects that there’s something else not quite right even before he finds himself standing in front of the shuttered remains of the White Horse Tavern. Still, he’s chilled in a way he’s not accustomed to feeling, reminiscent of the hopeless, free-falling frost that climbed up his spine and inside his gut the day he was meant to meet Hob when he was imprisoned. And that’s what it is, he realizes, this cold feeling. Hopelessness.
Should Dream seek him out, would Hob welcome him as a friend, or turn his shoulder as he would on an intruder? It’s what he would deserve, Dream muses as he’s preparing to turn heel from the tavern’s closed gates, even though as he’s resigning himself to shame he’s also gearing up to make this his next mission, his next purpose: to find Hob Gadling.
Alternatively: Dream and Hob find each other in 2021, and see no reason why they have to wait centuries to see each other again. And again.

Summary
It’s times like these that Hanta wishes he were… like his peers. Where they can rely on biological instincts and subtle changes in scent, he has to rely on his subpar skill at reading people, on the hope that he can tell when a friend – are they friends, though? – would rather not be alone.
Hanta looks down at his arm, curled tight around his offered comforts, and lets out a quiet sigh.
He has to rely on a shared interest in manga, on the sheer luck that he watches Todoroki enough to know which brand of chips he sometimes buys at lunch time, what drink he reaches for from their communal fridge after class.
Third year brings Sero Hanta new manga, old insecurities, and Todoroki Shouto.

Summary
Kojiro opens the door and looks around into the quiet street, frowning. It’s empty of life, no person in sight; the few other shops and restaurants located on the same street having long been closed by this time. He does hear some slight rustling, but it’s the small cooing noise that brings his attention downwards to the wicker basket left on the doorstep of Sia la luce. He slowly squats down so that he is closer to the baby occupying the basket.
“Hey there, sweetheart,” he says, his voice quiet so as not to disturb the little one. He reaches his arm over and grasps a tiny hand between his thumb and forefinger. “Where did you come from?”
Kojiro smiles gently as he picks up the basket and heads back indoors. He softly closes the door behind him and when he turns back into the restaurant, Kaoru is much closer to him leaning up against a nearby table.
“What’s—” Kaoru’s eyes widen when he sees the baby. “Uh, where did that come from?”
Or: fellas, is it gay to raise a baby with your best friend?

Summary
Contrary to the rambunctious baristas, Dormouse Cafe and Tearoom itself was far, far calmer. There were a handful of regulars—Kirishima and his boyfriend Bakugou (the couple were how Sero, Mina, and Kaminari realised they already sort of knew each other; Mina was childhood friends with Kirishima, who was also Sero’s friend, and Kaminari had apparently been bothering Bakugou since high school. Sero wondered how he was still alive at this point), Uraraka’s friend Midoriya who practically worked for free given how much he helped out (it wasn’t free, Yaomomo always gave him drinks for no charge), Intelli, a pretty purple haired girl who drank an inordinate amount of tea, and Todoroki.
No one seemed to know much about Todoroki—where he came from, what he did, who he was—but there was one thing they could all agree on. He was beautiful.

Okay look. So Sero's crushing hard, what about it? At least he's not Kaminari, falling for multiple people at once.
Wait.
Fuck.

Summary
It all started with Yatake Kouji's dilemma and Haruki just had to mention the 'G' word.
Set after Volume 5/Chap 29. AkiHaru-centric, but also has everyone else.
A (hopefully) de-stressing fic about what the university boys' lives are like, especially the two film major post-grads. A story about everyone being clumsy young adults drowning in their hectic student lives, while also having good laughs, mini-adventures, and a rollicking romance.Bookmarked by to_escape_reality
