    Summary

    [Noctis had told his friends he remembered very little of his decade in the crystal.]

    [Noctis had lied.]

    Trapped in Reflection, Noct discovers Bahamut isn’t quite the benevolent deity he’s made himself out to be. Feeding on death, the Draconian waits in anticipation for Noct’s final sacrifice. And as the sun rises at last, Umbra offers Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto an alternative—but with a catch.

    Now, back in a world of light, the four of them discover that behind every happily ever after is a big flaming mess of new problems—from angry gods, to relentless Niffs, to the fallout of a decade spent in darkness, to trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with Noct.

    And, as each man battles his daemons, Noct himself finally learns—once and for all—that no one is an island.

    Summary

    He imagines it sometimes: the queen flipping through a portfolio, looking at the headshots of children from across Lucis; reading the carefully compiled family histories and political ties; picking out her own favorites from the candidate pool, lifting their names to the top. He imagines that she smiled when she saw his dossier, when she saw that they’d been born in the same region. He imagines that, if she’d lived, the queen would have taken an interest in him; she might have written letters to him, might have given him an allowance; she might have said, This one. I want this one for my son.

    The queen died, though, so Ignis will never know what she thought of him—or if she thought of him at all.

    ---

    An Ignis-centric pre-game fic, in which Ignis is one of several children who are candidates for the position of advisor to the prince; it's basically Ignis and Noctis's childhood, and how Ignis was raised to be a tool for Noctis.

    As always, there's a lot of hurt and not much comfort. Also politics, class and power issues, child neglect and codependence, etc. And ghosts! And dead parents! And abandoned children! And more Ignis Whump than you can shake a stick at!

    Summary

    Shinsou Hitoshi is very happy to enter the department of heroics at UA High School despite his quirk being useless in the entrance exam. Class 1-A is amazing! He has friends!

    But he wasn't expecting the constant villain attacks, having his favorite hero as his homeroom teacher, or some of his classmates developing strange prophetic gifts...

    And if the Shigaraki brothers could stop attacking his class in general and him in particular, that would be great, thanks. Especially that green-haired asshole who won't stop asking him questions about his quirk...

    Izuku Midoriya lives a perfect dream of a life. He's got an explosively amazing best friend, he has a great girlfriend, he was born with the perfect quirk, he's doing well at his ideal school and life at home with both his parents is a dream. The world, too, is perfect, protected by the watchful eye of the hero whose agency Izuku interns for—his dream job!

    It's just what he always wanted—but why would he always want what he already had? It's been like this for as long as he can remember. And he can remember everything. Right?

    Summary

    “I could eat you, you know,” Katsuki snipes.

    “I’m not sure I’d taste very good,” Izuku laughs and Katsuki gets a glimpse of the backs of white teeth and is nearly positive that he would in fact taste very, very good, “too stringy.”

    You look pretty delicious to me is what Katsuki wants to say, but instead he just grunts noncommittally, holding tight to the last of his razor-thin self-control in an attempt to not conform to the stereotypes of his kind and consume this sunshine whole.

    --

    Or, angry wolf bakugo who wouldn't hurt a fly but the whole village thinks is sus becomes best friends with sweet, innocent little red riding deku who treats him like an overgrown puppy.

    Summary

    Inko wakes up a few times with hazy nightmares of bruises and grinding bones. Hisashi sleeps soundly. She stares at the wall and thinks of the child she’s still keeping a secret, thinks about their future with a trapped mother and a father who wouldn’t think twice about ending a life. Her friends have disappeared. The boy who'd flirted with her is dead. Hisashi's right in the middle of it, with that smile that says he'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

    She can’t let her baby end up like that. She can’t watch an innocent mind be warped into the person that Hisashi must be. It’ll be hard, raising a kid on her own. She hasn’t even gone to a doctor yet to make sure her pregnancy’s going okay. “Either I give up everything I have,” she says, hand resting on her belly. “Or I let Hisashi ruin my baby forever.”

    (The choice is easy, in the end. She picks her child.)

    Summary

    The boy straightens up. He’s about half a head shorter than Katsuki, face soft and youthful and sweet. He turns to look at him properly. His dark hair shines in the dying light, basket of blooms looped over one arm and mouth quirked into a tiny half-smile. The sun hits his face and makes his eyes a bright greeny-gold, just like emeralds.

    Katsuki likes emeralds.

    “Pretty,” he says, reaching out and picking the stranger up around the middle. He’s surprisingly heavy, although Katsuki doesn’t mind. “I like you. Come see my nest.”

    The boy hits him.

    He’s stronger than he looks, turns out. Katsuki drops him and falls onto his back, pain blooming across his face. Birds sing. The sky’s a lovely shade of orange, clouds floating lazily by. The boy scarpers. He leaves his basket of flowers behind, footsteps thumping on the ground and fading away as he escapes.

    The sun sets. Katsuki, lying flat on his back with a bloody nose, decides he’s just fallen in love.

    Summary

    Katsuki remembers it, vaguely; they’d gone out for patrol and immediately gotten mobbed by Uwabami’s rabid fans. Some guy asked for a hug. He had most of his face covered, and he wouldn’t let go even though Uwabami kept telling him to stop. Yaoyorozu had seen it and Katsuki had stepped in, yanking him off Uwabami but the guy grabbed him instead and-

     “Wait,” he says as his brain catches up with his ears. “What?”

    “He tried to attack Uwabami,” says Kestrel patiently. “But you and Bakugou got in the way and-”

    “Me and Bakugou?” says Katsuki, digging his ears. “I’m Bakugou.”

     

    (Katsuki and Momo get bodyswapped during their internship. It's terrible. Partly because of the weird new jiggly bits, but mostly because Momo now has to deal with Katsuki's giant, nauseating crush on Izuku Midoriya.

    And Katsuki, unfortunately, has to deal with fucking Todoroki.)

    (or: how to trick a boy into going out with you.)

    Alright. Maybe his idiot friends had a point, Katsuki thinks as he shoulders open the front door. His mother’s in the living room drinking coffee. Katsuki kicks off his shoes and stomps over. “Am I charming?” he demands, blocking the TV.

    Mitsuki pats his cheek. “Oh, hon. Not at all.”

    He goes upstairs. The bed makes a pomf noise as he faceplants into it. He needs a date for the sake of his pride, but there has to be a guarantee he won’t get rejected. Gossip travels and he’s not inconspicuous. He can already see the future headlines. Exposé : Bakusatsuo, failure at prom.

    He sighs and rolls over. “Fine,” he says to the All Might poster next to his bed. “I’m not showing up to that dance alone. We’ll go with plan B.”

    Summary

    “Would you like to make a bet?”

    It’s delivered in the same polite, measured tone Todoroki uses for almost everything, which only makes the offer more unsettling.

    “Uh.”

    If it will make him go away, Hitoshi might consider it.

    __

    Todoroki bets Shinsou that he won’t last a week in Class 2A without making at least one friend. He’s pretty confident he’ll get the money.

    Too bad Midoriya only knows how to make friends by hurting himself.

    Summary

    They say space was the last frontier, that everyone worth their salt could make something of themselves out there.

    Izuku used to believe the age-old adage, dreaming of adventure amongst the stars. That was before he lost his mother, or perhaps even earlier when he discovered his Quirklessness. He was here now, however. Sure, it wasn't the way he would have chosen, yet in a way, it was proof that he still held on that same hope, that same belief of making another step towards his dream, though it has been tempered by the bitter taste of reality. A black smear would forever be painted across the colorful canvas that was his mind space.

    But that was before all this.

    Back when they thought there were nine crewmen.

    Summary

    Last night, they went to bed in their dorms.

    This morning, they woke up in either A) an abandoned building, B) unfamiliar apartments with unfamiliar school uniforms, C) a plush bedroom nicer than their entire house... or D) the League of Villains' headquarters, because of COURSE Izuku still manages to draw the shortest straw even when others are screwed over too.

    UA tries its best to prepare its students for anything, but one topic it never covered: what to do if you wake up in an alternate dimension. Six students suddenly find themselves in an unfamiliar world where the balance between Heroes and Villains is more unstable than ever and they have no idea how they got there or to get home. All they know is that this world is horribly wrong, and they're largely on their own. (Well, except Izuku, but he thinks he'd prefer that.)

    Summary

    The first over-night trip off campus since the training camp was supposed to be a fun break from more intense work back home. But between a bleak introduction to chaos theory, a chilly reception from the locals, and the looming threat of a villain attack, Izuku has too much on his mind to properly enjoy the fresh air. But those worries are a light breeze compared to the hurricane that accompanies what he finds on the outskirts of town.

    Or rather, what finds him.

    [If you see this fic anywhere that isn’t the official AO3 website, it’s stolen.]

    Of all the people to have been kidnapped alongside, it had to be this person, this hero, the one person who would never blame him for the things he was forced to do.

    “Don’t cry,” Midoriya says.

    “Fuck you,” Hitoshi chokes out.

     

    (When Shinsou goes grocery shopping a few weeks after transferring to Class 2A, Midoriya tags along. Because he is, for some reason, determined to be Shinsou’s friend.

    Shinsou remains cold and withdrawn in the face of Midoriya’s friendliness—until they’re kidnapped by a woman with a brainwashing quirk who believes Shinsou doesn’t belong in the hero course.)
