    Summary

    A winter break apart turns into winter break alone, together, at Kyle’s house for three weeks. Stan and Kyle must reckon with how their relationship has evolved, for better or for worse.

    -----

    “Stan shifts his torso to Kyle’s side of the bed, flopped down on his stomach with a hand clutching at his hair. ‘I think…’ His back spasms before he belches. ‘Dude I might still be drunk.’ He laughs then winces, groaning into the mattress.

    ‘You know you’re supposed to have your binge drinking phase in college, right?’

    ‘What can I say, I’m an overachiever.’”

    Summary

    “You know, we could always …” And then Kyle wasn’t smiling either. Stan knew he had to say something else, and fast. It was easy: I’m kidding. I’m fucking with you. But it didn’t come out that way: “Like other guys in our grade haven’t.” Kyle looked like he was going to either shatter into a million pieces or kill him, because it was a fine line, and he just said, "Only once."

    Summary

    “Midoriya, what is this?”

    Aizawa was holding a piece of notebook paper that had been folded in quarters and tucked in the middle of a notebook. Izuku didn’t recognize it immediately, but when he got a glimpse of the sloppy handwriting, the blood drained from his face.

    “Oh my god. I’m so sorry, that shouldn’t be in there. I’m so glad you found it, I can’t imagine if Eri saw…”

    “Is this what I think it is?”

    Izuku swallowed around the lump in his throat.

    Aizawa had found his high school suicide note.

    When looking through Izuku's old analysis notebooks from high school, Aizawa finds the suicide note Izuku wrote in his second year at UA. He insists it's all in the past, but re-reading the note sparks some reflection for Izuku. Maybe he's not as okay as he thought.

    Summary

    “That’s what I don’t understand!" Uraraka complains. "They went with another company just ‘cuz it was a little cheaper. You’d think that they would want to hire someone who they know will do a good job!”

    “The other company won’t do a good job?” Tsuyu asks.

    Uraraka rolls her eyes. “The other company contracts quirkless people. Can you believe that?”

    Izuku's mouth goes dry. he feels like a wave has just washed over him. His ears feel muffled, his skin clammy.

    He keeps his mouth shut.

    Summary

    Hunger starts small.

    Kai feels it fluttering beneath his ribs, like a bird rattling against a cage. It flares and dies now and again, calling him back to that aching feeling. At first, it's nothing to note. He'll just stuff his face with whatever until it leaves.

    But after a while, it takes a little more to placate. After a while, it takes too much. After a while, it takes everything.

    After a while, it's all that's left. And nothing in the 16 realms can satiate it.

    Except one thing.

    And he hates it.

    Or:

    Killing the omukade turned out to leave quite the hefty consequence. Now holding it's curse, Kai finds that on some nights, only something specific can whet his appetite.

    Who knew elemental masters could be so... crunchy.
