This was sad but well done. The SA's aren't glossed over as they're important to the story, but there aren't any gory details.
Teenagers are huge fucking idiots though, Todoroki what are you dooooing?! You don't get that kind of information and than agree to stay silent, Jimminy Christmas...
It's a safe enough read that you can break it out in public, but not if you have any triggers. Which, if you do, like the author said multiple times: 'What are you doing here, bro?'

Summary
TW
The moment Izuku lets himself tip forwards over the edge of the building, the sharp wind rushing his face and curls catching in the force of falling, he knows he’d make a grave mistake.
I don’t want to die...
But he’s already made his decision; you can't come back from this. He stares wide-eyed as the ground gets closer and closer as the seconds tick on, eyes squeezing shut as he waits for impact. He awaits the consequences of his own stupid actions and then—
I don’t want to die.
—and then he opens his eyes and he’s stood peering over the edge of the building he’d just fallen from. Beside him, his shoes are tucked neatly on the ledge, backpack leaned on the ground beside them just as he’d left them. Izuku blinks owlishly, leaning forwards to stare ten stories down. Ten stories down where he’d just been a moment prior, only seconds away from hitting the ground.
He’s... back?
And that’s the first time Midoriya Izuku realizes that he does, in fact, have a Quirk.

This is really interesting so far and a good read.
I don't have any faith in it ever being finished since LowlyWriter is no longer into the fandom, their love of Dadzawa not withstanding. But it would be nice to at least get a reveal and a hug or two, even should that be years, and a smattering of chapters, down the line.
A girl can dream. 😔

Summary
The only green remaining in the tank are from the mermaid's hair and eyes.
Where there was once a bright, long tail, there are now very human legs.
Shouta is called in to help with a special case with a mermaid. They can't understand each other's language, the mermaid has never dealt with having legs before, and now Shouta has to look after him.
Well, it's not like Shouta's life has ever been simple.

Well dang, this was a very cute and fun AU. The angst was minimal, which is good in this case, the focus instead being on building trust and becoming family.
A good read if you're needing a pick me up!

Deku And Death by LivinLucky

Summary
“So… you’re basically the Grim Reaper?”
“Sort of…”
“But now… you’re retired?”
“Indeed.”
“And now that’s my job?”
“Yes.”
“Do I get a choice?”
“Not really.”Join Midoriya and the recently retired Death, Gami, as they learn to travel hero society together. With some newly acquired powers and a desire to help as many people as possible, Midoriya is ready to dive head first into heroism. But he must first learn how to use his deadly abilities for good, as well as fool everyone else that he does indeed have a quirk.
Basically the Grim Reaper AU that no one asked for. Definitely more of an emotional rollercoaster than I was planning but we're running with it anyway.

This is very well done, really well thought out, and the author is good at what they do.
This is maybe my third time attempting to read through it and perhaps someday I'll even get it done. However... This really is not up my alley in terms of fics that I enjoy.
Sure, I know that exposition and explanations are important, but having maybe 10 lines (or fewer) of dialogue in 15k+ words is a fucking chore, even if it is interesting. A room full of people and about five seconds of dialogue happen for the entirety of their interaction because most of it is in massive blocks of internal introspection, and I have to tell you, it's hard to stay interested.
Especially since Izuku is an anxiety riddled, nervous mess 99% of the time he's awake. If he's not in the middle of a panic attack, he's on the verge of being in one while disassociating into a coma like state. That was interesting maybe the first dozen times, but it's hard to maintain any enthusiasm when you know it's going to happen again in the next massive wall of text.
I am very interested in the story and its execution, so I'll bookmark it to keep tabs, but I cannot do the author justice when I keep skipping large chunks of the story because I'm desperate for someone, ANYONE, to say something and break up entire fucking chapters of just exposition and internal dialogue. No joke, skipped whole chapters because no one spoke aloud a single damn word.
It's mind numbing and I can't shut my brain off long enough to get through it.

It's good, and I like it, but I can only get so far before the author throws everything Izuku is out the window with the bath water and I just can't finish it.
So I'll keep it, and maybe when I care less about things not feeling how they should I'll go back and finish reading it.
I also take heavy umbridge with how heroes and police alike treat pre memory loss Oni like the anti Christ to be killed on sight even though he's mostly harmless. Those cops that shot to kill as he escaped over the bridge? Why? For what reason were they aiming to KILL him?
Holy shit, the whole 'he's a menace to society and so must be punished to the fullest extent of the law just for daring to exist!' is super annoying.
Also, I'm not a fan of teenage romance because teenagers are gross idiots and I don't want to read about them mooning over each other, making out or banging. I'm an adult, that shit doesn't appeal to me. Hell, being aro ace means that it didn't appeal to me when I was a teen myself. It's an annoying side quest 99.9% of stories are better off without.
Please and thank you.
(Left off on ch. 50, I couldn't care less about these morons going on a double date and Izuku getting a spiffy new, edgy emo makeover)
