  1. Summary

    The universe has many different faces, and none kinder than
    the young god who saved his server. There is perhaps none crueler than the universe where he abandonded it, instead.

    What happens when that universe gets a visit from a minor god who is more love than flesh?

    (An AU of Chrysalizzm's young god series, where minor god!Dream with extreme empathy powers gets thrown into the canon universe and suffers the consequences of an alternate Dream's actions.)

    Summary

    Stack doesn’t let Smoke give up on living.
    And Smoke doesn’t give up on Stack.

    ––––

    What if Stack was holed up in the juke joint away from the sun while Smoke fought the KKK? And what if he realized Smoke was dying?

    Summary

    The sick, muddy feeling creeps further up Stack's throat. It gathers on the right side of his neck, and Stack winces, rubbing that spot, too. His fingers slide slickly, as if aided by the wetness of blood. Stack knows damn well the snake didn't get him. If anything, it'd been Smoke's fingers on the line – Smoke, whose flash of irritation has faded into a quieter concern, disguised from the world by the tense set of his jaw. But Stack would know his brother's face in Braille, and he tries for a smile he already knows won't reach his eyes.

    “You said we should put off opening?” he prompts.

    OR, Smoke and Stack push the juke joint's opening back a day. It might just save their lives.

    Smoke lets Stack go, but of course he doesn't go all that far.

    Summary

    After the Christmas argument about Harry's Firebolt, Hermione decides that she's not putting up with the boys' sulking anymore, and she's going to do something about it. What happens next is a testament to the strong bonds forged through people actually talking to each other, the desperation involved in keeping your best friend alive and in one piece, and the desire to build a better, safer world for him to live in, no matter what the objections from the adults.

    In other words, the risk in manipulating things to create child-soldiers is that they will decide that you, too, are also something to protect themselves against.

    Revised, Edited, and Rewritten: After a lot of feedback about how the writing got better as this fic went on, I've been taking a break, not just to have the burn-out breakdown from IRL work, but also to rewrite some of the earlier chapters (mostly 1-5) hoping to improve on what was already there, and add things I wish I'd thought of the first time.
    Updated So Far: Chapters 1, 2, and 3 - an additional chapter inserted after Chapter 3 - and 4 (which is now Chapter 5, I guess)

    Summary

    After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn’t quite sure there’s anything left for him to live for, but...he can’t exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can’t technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He’ll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he’d be born with a quirk in the next life.

    This fic has a discord.
