Summary
The boy shifts on his feet. “The year is two thousand and eighteen? Common Era?”
Slowly, smile still plastic on his face, Suguru faces Satoru. This fucking dumbass. “Satoru,” he says, dangerous edge to his voice, “what did you do?”
Satoru makes some bastardization of a sound, half between a laugh and a cough. “...Whoops?”
“I,” Suguru grits, pinching two fingers together, “am this close to mass murder.” He’s joking. Probably.
///OR: Shortly before Getō would have massacred a village, he and Gojō are thrust eleven years forward into a would-have-been future that Getō is conspicuously absent from.

Summary
Ranpo and Dazai share a meaningful look, before Ranpo says, tone uncharacteristically cautious, “Okay, hang on. Pretend for a second that I’m an idiot and I’ve never heard of this sort of point system before in my life, and try to describe it to me.”
Atsushi is quiet for a moment, trying to gather his thoughts. To explain the system would be to explain the cycle of day and night, or the changing of the seasons. He’s never stopped to try to put it into words; it's simply the natural order of things.
“Well, I’ve already had lunch today. And two cups of tea. And Kyoka gave me a couple of her gummy candies in the afternoon. So with the system I’m used to, that would probably be…” Atsushi pauses to calculate. “Close to two dozen points already. I’m not sure if I have enough left over for dinner tonight.”
We as a fandom do not discuss this deeply fucked up orphanage point system enough

Summary
He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.
He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.
She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”
And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

Summary
Satoru dies.
Well, kinda. He comes back.
It takes a little bit of time to process everything that happens between dying and then suddenly not, which can’t happen in the middle of the fight. He’s left Suguru alone with Fushiguro Toji too long already.
It’s not until after—after Amanai Riko is dead, and humans are clapping, and Suguru says there’s no meaning in that. After the strongest duo learns strongest doesn’t mean invulnerable in the most visceral way possible. Only then does Satoru sit and process.
Eleven years. He processes eleven years of a future.
or: gojou decides to change the things he cannot accept

Summary
Kaminari walks up to Todoroki in the hallway after class and says, “Dude, I need your help.”
Todoroki checks over his shoulder, twice, to verify that Kaminari is indeed talking to him. “Why?”
“Yesterday you asked Shinsou-kun if he was Aizawa-sensei’s son,” Kaminari says, as though that explains anything at all.
“...yes?”
“Make a hero conspiracy YouTube channel with me.”
