Summary

Tensei pauses at the threshold of the room, tapping his wheels with the flats of his hands. Tenya’s been quieter since Tensei got injured—irascible and easily overwhelmed. He also won’t look Tensei in the eye most days. He idles at the edge of the living room, rocking his chair back and forth as he wonders if he’ll make the situation worse with his presence. But Tenya is his little brother, and Tensei can’t pretend he hasn’t seen this, that his heart doesn’t ache for the vacant expression on Tenya’s face.
So he wheels over to the couch, flicking the TV off with the remote. It breaks whatever spell Tenya’s been under, his eyes flicking up to Tensei’s face then off, searching for something else in the room to focus on. Tenya’s throat clicks as he swallows thickly.
“I apologize if I woke you.” The words are overly formal, and it just further reminds Tensei how little this version of Tenya resembles the younger brother he remembers.
Or...In the wake of Stain's attack, the Iida brothers hold tightly to their guilt.

Summary

Shouta swims towards awareness, too hot and bogged down by blankets. There is a tiny body tucked along the curve of his back, pointed feet like spades against his vertebrae. He snuffles, poking his head out of the quilt, and is immediately assaulted by light.
“Paaaapaa,” Eri’s speaking in a semi-whisper. Her hands, cold and slightly sticky—Shouta knows better by now than to try and figure out why they’re sticky—press against the back of his neck. “Are you awake?”
Or... Shouta comes down with a virus and Eri and Hizashi help.

Summary

It’s a bad idea, but not any worse than the other ideas he’s had today. Decided, Izuku spends a little too long retrieving the dummies and packing them back into his duffle. He brought a sweatshirt, and he puts it on just to cover the swollen mess that it is hand. If Shinsou isn’t willing to help, Izuku doesn’t want him snitching to Recovery Girl. Izuku’s got YouTube. He’s sure he can ask Momo to make him some wraps. He’ll figure it out on his own if he needs to.
Or... At UA, Izuku works through some trust issues.

Summary

He wakes for real an indeterminate amount of time later. He’s in the hospital, a real one, not just the infirmary wing at UA. And Katsuki is there, resting in a chair by the window. He looks…bleary. If he was a photograph, he’d be in sepia tones. Izuku stares at him for several beats, but he must shift, or make a noise, because Katsuki’s eyes flick to his, his mouth turning wry.

“You with me again nerd?”

“Where’d I go?” Izuku half-coughs. His throat is dry.

Or... Izuku and Katsuki need each other.

Summary

"When someone leaves your life, those exits are not made equal. Some are beautiful and poetic and satisfying. Others are abrupt and unfair. But most are just unremarkable, unintentional, clumsy."

Summary

"Your hair is red," Kacchan said.

Izuku frowned. He grabbed some hair from over his ear and tried to pull it forward where he could see. It looked green.

"It's nighttime," Kacchan continued, dead serious, "All Might is a bad hero."

Iida let his arm drop. "Bakugou, are you feeling alright?"

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with me," Kacchan said. Then he turned to stare at Izuku.

Summary

Someone turns the corner and she pulls out of the freezer to back out of the way, punching him in the shoulder repeatedly as his laughter calms to quiet snickers. Laura’s muttering crude words under her breath and cursing out both him and Cora—who’s not even in the country right now, let alone on the same continent—until it stops suddenly as she glances over Derek’s shoulder and catches the stranger’s eyes.

“Stiles?” Laura says incredulously, like she isn’t quite sure what she’s seeing was real. “Holy shit, dude.”
