Summary
In a moment of weakness, (barely) married superstore supervisor Amy Dubanowski hires Jonah, a male escort. After a more than satisfying night, she opens up, confessing things she hasn't told her therapist or nosy (but uncomfortably supportive) boss, thinking she would never see him again.
Unfortunately, the next day she must train their new hire, broke dropout Jonah Simms.
Drowning in debt and another bout of not-so-seasonal depression, Jonah would take literally anything he can get (preferably legal, but he's not picky). So when avoiding each other becomes too hard, they form a deal. With money she doesn't have and time she can't spare, Amy will hire Jonah to be her friend, to help her study or just let her vent, but no sex, not again. Jonah gets the cash he needs to make frayed ends meet, Amy gets the companionship she was missing from her unfulfilling marriage, and they both get the promise of mutually assured destruction.
But pinky swears are meant to be broken and so are hearts, so when feelings emerge from the wreckage of their lives, it's not wholly unsurprising but not in the least welcome.

Bookmarker's Notes
genuinely really good and I need more. Shakes up their dynamic and I get kinda tired of minimizing jonah's stuff in the show constantly so this is nice since Amy is the one technically 'above' Jonah in terms of having a family, a house, and a stable job.

Summary
When Jonah first crash-landed into working at Cloud 9, he tried to take what little pride he could in the fact that he’d finished most of a year of business school.
He’d hoped it would impress people; that maybe somehow it would help eclipse the huge crushing sense of failure that kept him up all night, lying awake staring at the ceiling in regret.
Everyone knew he’d flunked out of business school.
What he hadn’t told them was why.

Summary
Kei wishes he could delineate the gap in Yamaguchi's memory. He remembered his old flip phone from first year, but he didn't remember Takeda. Does that mean his memories stop somewhere before they joined the volleyball club, or is it less clear-cut than that? It probably isn't fair to ask Yamaguchi what he can and can't remember. It's like asking him to remember the last footprint he left.
In other words - Yamaguchi forgets, and Kei starts to realise something he should have known all along.

penny for your thoughts by ladyofsnails

Summary
For the next few years, that’s how it went. Izuku and Katsuki would give each other the penny at random times, and the receiver always had to say whatever they were thinking out loud.
No matter the thought, no matter the time or place, the boys staunchly refused to lie about their thoughts. It was always the truth. Because that’s the way it went.

Summary
(But I don't want to leave it that way.)
-
"What if we're not late bloomers?" Deku had asked him once when they were very young. “What if we don’t get our quirks? What if our quirks never come for our whole lives?”
Katsuki hadn't been able to answer, then. All he'd known was that they'd be able to do anything together, even if the hero business tried to spit them out just because they were missing bits and pieces. That was until Deku'd told him the truth, anyway. That he'd been hiding a quirk for ten years and Katsuki had just been stupid and trusting.
He doesn't get into UA. Deku leaves him behind and lives the dream alone. Katsuki picks up modelling and turns out to be surprisingly good at it, and after a while he thinks maybe he can make peace with never becoming a hero. This ain't a bad life, after all. There are stalkers and endless reporters but maybe he can make this work.
For all of six years, anyway. Then he figures out his new neighbour has green eyes and cute freckles. And then, Katsuki thinks, maybe god hates him.

There was one thing Tsukishima was sure about himself. He had a huge fucking embarrassing crush on his childhood friend and he was absolutely not subtle about it.
Actually, the whole hospital knew.
Except Yamaguchi.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku was born with a quirk that seemed to come out of nowhere. Only three percent of Japan's population were born with quirks that pertained to sex, and unfortunately for Midoriya Inko's poor heart, Izuku was one of them. Despite the connotations that came with his quirk, Izuku was still utterly determined to be a hero, and get into U.A. University, the best hero college in all of Japan, with his best friend Kacchan by his side.
Let's just say, things are going to get a little awkward.

Summary
“You think the world is fair,” Tokoyami says, his crimson eyes cold as steel. “It’s not. Shadows like me exist to remind people of that.”
In the underworld, Tokoyami Fumikage is an enforcer for the Yakuza, feared for his ruthless efficiency and his Quirk, Dark Shadow—a living entity of darkness. Tasked with collecting debts and silencing traitors, Tokoyami lives by one rule: no questions, no attachments, no mercy. But when he’s sent to deal with the struggling Uraraka family—a small construction business on the brink of ruin—cracks begin to form in his cold facade. Ochaco Uraraka’s unwavering determination to protect her family forces Tokoyami to confront the morality of his actions and the shadows within himself.
As the line between duty and conscience blurs, Tokoyami must decide: will he remain a silent shadow, or will he step into the light at the risk of everything he’s built?

Summary
I've always hated suits. You know that better than anyone. How I throw away the suits you insist I wear on special occasions. I always thought I couldn't stay in that uncomfortable outfit for more than a few minutes. I remember laughing mockingly when you asked me what you were going to wear to our wedding, and watching another shining star fade from your face.
But here I am, Yamaguchi. I'm one of the many people wearing those damn suits. The only difference is that I'm sitting in a quiet corner, looking at your picture adorned with flowers. This is not where I expected to find you.
