Summary
Shouto doesn't need a quirk to be a hero, and as far as he's concerned, he doesn't need anyone's help, either.
Midoriya Izuku might just change his mind.

Summary
“We save whoever we can,” Saltbeard had said on the television. The dwarf's face had been tight with frustrated strain, his weathered face lined with grief. “And if that’s not everyone, we get up the next morning and do our damn best to make it so that next time, it will be.”
Spellbound, Hamid had nodded along. Then he’d run into his bedroom to change into something presentable. An hour later, he’d walked into the meritocratic offices and asked how one applied to become a hero.
***
After months of training, Hamid has learned to control his superpowers, and hardly ever grows scales without meaning to. But when his mentor and their handler go missing on the morning of his debut, Hamid and his team are sent to investigate. As the team uncovers a plot that may shake the foundations of hero society, Hamid struggles to believe not only in the Meritocracy, but in himself.

Summary
Jon is not an idiot. Contrary to what some of the people who love him might believe, he’s not even entirely oblivious to social cues, though he’ll admit they elude him perhaps more often than is standard.
All of this to say that in the week following their escape from the Lonely, as Martin graduates from shy smiling glances and tentative clutching of clammy hands to full-bellied laughter and warm, steady embraces, Jon is fully capable of figuring out where things are going.
***
Some thoughts about kissing and self-sacrifice.

Summary
"Bet you five quid that Flesh domain we're avoiding wouldn't have been as gross as this," Martin grumbles, wrenching his feet out of the oozing black mud trying to swallow him.
Jon pauses up ahead, not even out of breath; the ground isn't trying to eat him. Maybe, like Helen, it thinks the smug little bastard would give it indigestion.
"I'd say I'd feel too bad to take your money," he says, tone playfully superior, "but honestly it isn't as though it would be much of a loss nowadays."
***
It may be the end times, but it's still a road trip of sorts, right? So, in grand tradition, Jon and Martin make up silly games to entertain themselves.

Summary
Daisy Tonner and Basira Hussein, knights errant, are no strangers to hunting monsters. But when they come to the remote village of Magnus to investigate rumors of a rampaging dragon, they find themselves embroiled in a plot almost two centuries in the making. Elias Bouchard is the wizard of the Panopticon, the tower that looms over the village and surrounding area, and he's oddly unconcerned about the dragon that stole his apprentice. Sasha James, his other student, has a smile that feels... wrong. Melanie King, from the surrounding farms, seems to know far too much. And Daisy, struggling to control the curse that's haunted her since childhood, can't shake the feeling that she's being watched.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku isn’t quirkless, but he might as well be. He never planned on letting that stop him from becoming a hero, but life doesn’t always go according to plan, and now Izuku is working for the best hero agency in the country—as a paper pusher.
Enter Todoroki Shouto, the up-and-coming independent pro hero with a mysterious air, a standoffish attitude, and a shitty apartment below Izuku’s that’s absolutely brimming with plant life. What is he doing there? What is he hiding? And why can’t Izuku get him out of his mind?

Summary
A photo without context, a few careless words, an embellished article.
Thus was born the idea, so patently false it would have fit better in a politician's speech, that Yuuri hated Viktor.

Summary
Victor had never worked this hard before, and especially he had never done so knowing that despite it all, it wasn’t possible to win. He tried to imagine going through this struggle as a child, and couldn’t quite convince himself that he could have kept skating through it before he’d ever tasted the peace of a clean program.
He tried to tell Yuuri all this, asked him how he had kept on for so long without feeling what it was like to win.
Yuuri laughed. “Maybe I couldn’t feel it,” he said. “But I saw it, when I watched you.”
Victor stood, dumbstruck. He knew then and there that his skating, his loneliness at the top, his whole life had been worthwhile, if it had kept this beautiful creature on the ice.
***
After the Grand Prix Final, Victor struggles back into skating and settles into his life with Yuuri.
