Summary
After such party discussions as “I’m a warlock,” “I’m a bomb,” “I’m Sharran,” and “I’m a vampire,” you would think the “I’m asexual” conversation would be relatively easy. You would really think.

Summary
And it is as he prays at his own altar, saying goodbye to the remains of Todoroki Touya for what is supposed to be the last time, that his sister walks in.
She wasn't supposed to. No one was supposed to know. Touya was supposed to die unseen, leaving something else in his place.
But she's here, and she's seen him, and Fuyumi has never been good at letting go of people, even when she maybe should.
Or: Fuyumi finds Touya, and convinces him to take Shouto with him. And that changes things.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is a university sophomore, a fanboy, quirkless. On the list of things he is not: a hero.
That's why he's more surprised than anyone when he rescues Todoroki Shouto, his favorite pro hero, from a deadly villain attack. His actions fling him into the media spotlight, grabbing the attention of the entire country, including Todoroki himself. But Todoroki actually wants to get to know him past the headlines.
Izuku finds himself living a story straight out of a fairy tale, one where the mysterious, handsome prince is played by the real-life superhero he has always admired. But Izuku is convinced he's the ugly duckling, not the swan; could he ever be remarkable enough to get his happily ever after?

Summary
“Dabi. Untie him.”
Katsuki’s heart leaps. Holy shit, can it be that easy…?
“He’ll go wild, for sure,” says flame quirk - Dabi? - entirely unimpressed. Katsuki’s eye twitches.
“It’s okay,” Shigaraki says, all smug-sounding again. “We gotta treat him as an equal. We’re scouting him, after all. And before he throws a tantrum, our little U.A. student should be smart enough to know he can’t win. Not alone.”
The absolute asshole.
“Yeah? Bring a few more guys and it might actually be a fair fucking fight.”

Summary
in his more selfish moments, sometimes aoyama dreams of a beautiful death.
it’s never said outright in their classes, but it feels sometimes as though that’s what they’re meant to be aspiring to, anyway - aoyama sits in the front row, and listens, and takes better notes than his grades would give him credit for. to their teachers, of course, but to his classmates, as well. all might is the hero that defines their age, of course. but there are thousands more. how many of the ones who get remembered died a quiet death at home or aged out? no, for many, it’s a blaze of glory - putting their lives on the line until the very end. the profession of hero is not one undertaken by someone who is willing to die quietly, in most cases. there are very few old heroes.
he could never, of course. his parents have very little to offer all for one. were he to die, they would simply be considered loose ends who knew more than they ought to.
( aoyama character study. )
