    Summary

    Will pelted toward the shadowy, grey-cloaked figure, who threw aside his longbow and swept toward Will through the snow. Will hurled himself at Halt and felt his mentor’s arms lock around him in a ferocious embrace. Burying his face in Halt’s shoulder, a cry burst from Will’s mouth, and then he couldn’t stop the torrent of sobs that spilled over. He tried to gulp out half a dozen different things at once, but in the end the only words he managed were, “You found me.”

    After all, that was the only thing that truly mattered.


    As I was recently relistening to the audiobook, I was unsatisfied with Halt and Will's reunion in canon in Oakleaf Bearers/The Battle for Skandia, so I wrote a one-shot to elaborate on that scene a little. Title from Ada Limón's poem "The Tree of Fire."

    Summary

    Tenya’s routine works, until it doesn’t. Tenya’s coping mechanism for seeing his friends hurt works too, until it doesn’t. Tenya’s able to ignore his own needs, until he isn’t.

    (Or: Tenya takes care of everyone else. Everyone else, including Tenya, sometimes forgets to check on Tenya.)

    Summary

    The overhead lights are too bright for Aizawa to see anything beyond the four sets of ropes. His vision blurs and begins to hurt from the strain of the lights, and it takes several seconds for him to adjust enough to see the beginnings of the crowd.

    Across the mat, he sees Midoriya crouched in the opposite corner, muttering to himself. Overhead, a bell rings.

    Fuck.

    Shouta gets hit with the worst quirk he could possibly think of. On the bright side, his family loves him. And his eyes haven’t been this hydrated in about fifteen years.
