Summary

But now she’s pulling away from him. It makes his chest tight with anxiety. He doesn’t like—being ignored. He doesn’t like being forgotten.

“Did I do something wrong?” he asks Gran, and Gran frowns.

“No, kid, it isn’t you,” he says, and then he doesn’t say anything else.

Toshinori can't accept that, so he does the only thing he can think of. He tries to be better.

take up the sword by SpiritusRex for Effervescent_Gem

Summary

“I can be a good weapon, I promise.”

Toshinori stares at the boy who spoke, looking into the widest, youngest eyes he thinks he has ever seen on a swordsman. They are quite literally evergreen, a green as new as spring grass.

But they are dull, too. Matte as a dark metal sword that glints only when the light hits its sharpened edges at a certain angle.

A twisted, knotted feeling stirs in Toshinori’s stomach. He swallows hard. “What is your name?”

The boy denies him, shaking his head. “I have been trained to be your sword,” he says.

Summary

The new scarf Mr. Aizawa wraps around her head is soft, and so few things left in this world are. Eri can’t help but ball the ends of it up in her tiny palms, relishing the gentle give of the plush fabric when she clenches her fists. Her old scarf was so ratty and worn, in comparison this new scarf feels like she's holding onto a cloud. She wonders where he found it. Or where he took it from.

“You already know that you have to keep this on no matter what,” Mr. Aizawa says sternly. His face is as grim and gray as the sky above them. “But if it does come off, and someone sees your horn, what do you tell them?”

“A random meta did it to me,” Eri whispers.

Summary

Izuku is sliding on his seat more quickly and recklessly than the others, driving harder with his legs, snapping his arms down in sharp, urgent motions. But it’s familiar. This isn’t new. They’ve raced in this exact lineup dozens of times before, and Izuku has always managed to keep pace. Always.

But after they’ve been rowing for a while, the same exhaustion that has been dogging him all day creeps back into his bones.

In a fast-paced sport like crew, injuries can happen just as fast if you aren't rested enough.

Summary

Katsuki throws his blankets aside and leaps out of bed, not taking his eyes off of Izuku for even a heartbeat. This may or may not even be real, but he feels like if he blinks Izuku will disappear, vanishing into the darkness without even leaving a note this time.

The more time he spends taking in Izuku, the stronger his doubts about reality become. The other boy is wearing his UA uniform, tie knotted in that terrible way he always has it, but… that isn’t right. Izuku had left his uniform behind in his room when he’d run off to play vigilante. Besides the wardrobe not making sense, something about Izuku as a whole is… indistinct. His form isn't solid—he isn't really sharing this physical space with Katsuki. Instead, his edges are soft and wispy. They give the appearance that Izuku is dispersing into the air one molecule at a time, untethered and ghostly.

"What is this?" Katsuki asks, narrowing his eyes.

Izuku has a hard request to make of Katsuki.

Summary

Danny goes through the Accident alone and ends up with a malfunctioning portal, a lot of ghosts stuck in the human realm, and the unique ability to see said ghosts. At least the ghosts are mostly benign and unable to touch him or anyone else, but the longer they stay in the human realm the more that seems to be changing.
Now, Danny needs to find a pair of friends to help him keep everyone safe, both ghosts and humans.

Summary

“Val, do it.” She recognizes the popping static of ghost speak. Danny raises his head and the pain in his eyes is gone, replaced with grim, angry determination.
She opens her mouth to respond, but he stops her.
“Don’t reply, just shoot me. If you do it, you’re free.”
He couldn’t survive this. Not unless there's something major he isn’t telling her.
And then she remembers there is.
//
Valerie and Danny are kidnapped by the GIW due to their anomalous ectoplasmic radiation readings. In the lab, they're put trough testing to determine whether or not they still count as human. Danny struggles with the cost of keeping his secrets to avoid hurting Valerie, while Valerie grapples with the real ramifications of her suit’s technology and how ghostly she's becoming. Together they must both face their truths if they want to get out alive.

Starry Eyed by Ikira for TorScrawls

Summary

College was meant to be Danny’s fresh start, his chance to start over in a new place with new people who had no idea he was half-ghost. It was supposed to be his opportunity to finally feel normal for once.
Unfortunately, his space obsession didn’t quite get the memo.
Danny is terrified of the truth coming out, but every time he attends his new astronomy lecture, his core acts up and makes more and more of his ghostly traits show through. First it’s star freckles, next it’s blue skin. Soon he won’t be able to hide his powers any longer, and everyone on his new campus will know exactly what he is. Trying to juggle maintaining his secret on top of his schoolwork and getting used to college life is starting to wear on him, but thankfully, he’s still got Sam, Tucker, and Jazz in his corner to support him.
They keep insisting that no one in college will care about him being a halfa, but as more of Danny changes, he can’t help but worry that he might be putting that theory to the test whether he wants to or not…
