Summary
John and Harold have both been harboring feelings for one another, though neither expects them to be reciprocated. Once they finally come together, their relationship grows through a mix of romantic tenderness, domestic intimacy, and carefully structured exploration of trust.
Because of John’s past - filled with trauma, abusive dynamics, and years of being treated as an expendable asset - he struggles to believe he deserves affection or praise. Harold, calm and meticulous, guides him through rituals and structure that reframe control and intimacy as safe rather than harmful.
The fic blends hurt/comfort, romance, and power dynamics. Bear makes frequent interruptions and Harold has many organizational quirks.
If you are looking for lots of smut, this isn't what you're looking for. I’m honestly not sure if it needs and explicit rating or if mature would be enough, but I’d rather rate it too high than too low. Please let me know if you find any major errors or I need to add any tags. The whole fic is written and just needs editing.

Used bookshop and Old shirt by syriala

Summary
Shinsou offers the shirt up, shows Shouta the tear near the bottom of it and going by the looks of it, it's not the first time it came apart again. What's more concerning though, is the fact that it's an old shirt—so well worn that it's incredibly soft when Shouta reaches out for it, but also most definitely not the one that came with the UA uniform.
Shinsou is avoiding even looking at Shouta when he inspects the shirt, so he's definitely not going to bring up the age of it, not if Shinsou is already on the defence about it, but he's filing that little titbit away for later.
Neglect is definitely grounds enough to get involved in this, but still, Shouta hesitates.
If he pushes too much too fast Shinsou is more likely to clam up on him and pretend as if nothing is wrong at all, losing even the little bit of trust he seems to have in Shouta and that is something Shouta can absolutely not allow.

Summary
"Take your portion with you then," Aizawa says and promptly crouches down to take the containers out.
Yamada got him his favourite, because somehow he knows it and he never fails to bring this for Hitoshi, even though Hitoshi so very rarely stays to eat with them. Aizawa holds the container out for him, together with a pair of chopsticks, as if he knows that he won't be taking it home and Hitoshi swallows before he takes it.
"Thanks," he says, more to Aizawa than Yamada because he can't quite bring himself to be nice to the guy and then he rushes out of there without a look back.
He eats the food before he gets home, because he really can't take it there without it being taken away from him and him being possibly punished for it, too, and he hates to admit it, but the shop Yamada frequents really does make the best lunch.
If only Yamada wasn't such an asshole.

Summary
"It’s different, of course, with Harold, has been - another thing, yet, not unique to corners. Harold, who noticed John (and not because he wanted John less noticeable). Harold who’d said ‘what do you need?’, quietly and with quiet touch, in that way that made John want to kneel and offer anything, in the way that said that what Harold wanted was his honesty. Harold, who’d tilted his mouth at the furniture of more than a handful of safehouses now, and told John what to move, making that space - for him, night and again."
