Summary
“He’s my brother.”
To most, this would be a comfort. For Shouto, it’s a discomfort at best and an agony at worst.
His mother used to steady his arms as he held his younger siblings. She let him hold onto Natsuo’s hands and lead him across the room when he was learning how to walk. Fuyumi wasn’t even a year old when Endeavor separated Shouto from the rest. He had to fight to be allowed to wait at the hospital when Touya was born, almost didn’t get the chance to hold his little brother before Endeavor was banishing him back to the training room. Even now that he’s forced his way back into their lives, he doesn’t know how to interact with them. He never made it past that initial lesson in big brothering: to look out for his siblings, in every way that a small child could.
Shouto wishes that looking out for them didn’t feel so much like failing them.

Summary
Eijirou wonders what it would be like to properly hold Bakugou’s hand. He’d like to, someday, be able to fold their fingers together and swing their linked hands together as they walk. Like a normal, cheesy, stupid teenage couple. He’d like for there to be enough breathing room for them to be normal and cheesy and stupid. It's a pipe dream, but it shouldn't be.
Grief can be pretending that you’re ready for something you should be protected from. They are all mourning.

Summary
Silent killers are the ones that make their way into the hearts of kids like Katsuki, kids that no one worries about because they hold fast to their convictions and a practiced mask of unaffectedness.
And, Katsuki thinks as he watches Turbo tither away at his desk out of the corner of his eye, as he remembers the fractured look in his eyes after the sports festival, as he remembers how much belief there is in his voice when he sings the praises of law and order despite knowing intimately the extent of its failures, he probably knows a thing or two about that.
No one bothered to worry about Turbo, not even in the face of the greatest tragedy of his young life. Not until it was too late. Katsuki doesn’t have it in himself to care either, but he notices. He notices, and wonders if Turbo feels seen, or known, or something vaguely poetic like that.

Katsuki keeps secrets he never asked for.

Summary
“I’m sure Ouma-kun will be fine,” Akamatsu dismisses, tapping her fingers against the rim of her own teacup. Her fingernails are set in French slants, the powder blue she’d been sporting the last few days long gone. She must have sat down with Amami again. Kaito’s not much into nail polish, but he did let Amami file and buff his nails when he, Amami, and Saihara were hanging out in the library, and he can’t say he regrets it.
“He can sort himself out, probably.” Shirogane agrees. “You might be reading too much into it, Momota-kun.”
Whether it’s a testament to Ouma’s acting or simply an indication of his friends’ lack of faith in his intellect, it grates on Kaito’s nerves.
/
Kaito's got something to prove. Then something else. And one more for good measure.
Written for Oumota Weekend 2021.

Summary
Ouma sleeps like a rock through the beginning of the documentary. After a while, he startles himself awake apropos to nothing, sending a spray of DVD cases cascading to the floor. He looks sort of out of it, from fever or because he doesn’t wake up well, Kaito can’t tell. The clattering confuses him more, and he looks at Kaito like he’s never seen him before.
“What the fuck,” he says, incredibly hoarse. Kaito hopes some of that’s from waking up because otherwise Ouma’s throat has got to be completely shredded.
“Oh, you’re awake,” Amami says casually, as if he hadn’t personally caused the small avalanche.

Kaito happens upon Amami and Ouma in the AV room. He's not prepared for what he finds.

Summary
What he sees makes him feel something, the emotions hot and fragile in his chest alongside the pain in his lungs. The two mix together until he can’t distinguish one from the other, until every breath he draws reminds him that Ouma has left him irrevocably changed. If he never saw Ouma again after today, Kaito would spend the rest of his life ruminating, seeking closure that he’s not guaranteed to get even if he sees Ouma every day until he dies. Not that that day is shaping up to be too far off.
He’s not sure he likes what’s under Ouma’s mask, or the tension strung out between them that jumps like a rubber band and stretched almost to the breaking point until Kaito managed to convince Ouma to stop pulling. He hates the thoughts that well up in him when they make eye contact, conflicting demands to kiss and punch screaming at him from opposite sides of his brain. Kaito can’t forgive him, but he can work with him, and he can weather the storm caught up in his chest until the longing suffocates him.
/
Kaito, Kokichi, and an Exisal full of unresolved tension. Not all epic romances are built on love.

Summary
Katsuki can't be nice because Katsuki isn't a nice boy.
He wasn't made to be kind. It's useless to try and change his nature when he could spend that time perfecting flight with his quirk. Katsuki thought he had been kind, once, but as with every other lesson life has taught him, he caught on quickly.
/
'Katsuki' and 'kindness' are two words on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Summary
The bookshelf slides away from the wall with a rumble and a groan. It swings to the left, pivoting on one corner as if on hinges. Ouma is forced to step out of the way of the bookcase as it reveals the wall—or rather, the door concealed behind it.
Well, that explains the drag marks on the floor.
The door is split down the middle, mimicking Monokuma’s black and white coloring. A card reader is mounted to the right of the door, shiny and new, totally out of place among the mildew-infested books.
“Holy shit,” Iruma says.
“What the fuck,” Tenko says.
“Cool!” Ouma chirps.
The urge to dropkick him intensifies when he skips forward to examine the doors, hands tucked behind his back as he leans forward in interest. That level of nonchalance can not be normal.
/
Tenko becomes one third of the most chaotic trio at the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles. Keeping everyone alive just got three times harder.

Summary
Kaito raises a skeptical eyebrow. “Did he say he was mad at you?”
“No, but I can tell.”
Oh, he can tell. Kaito loves him, he truly does, but Shuichi is so quick to assume the blame for things that it’s almost exhausting to keep telling him otherwise. Did they teach him to jump to the same conclusion over and over in detective school or something?
The day Shuichi has an emotionally charged conversation with his boyfriend without one or both of them freaking the fuck out during or after will be the day Kaito looks back on that time he walked in on Kaede and Rantaro comparing dirty-talk while painting their nails without feeling the urge to find the nearest blunt object and bludgeon himself with it. That is: not happening anytime soon.
He gestures for Shuichi to go on. Present your evidence, oh completely unbiased detective.

Summary
He hadn’t asked about the extra bag Tadashi brought along with his school bag, and now he’s starting to wish he had. Hinata holds a string bag, straps pulled tightly shut in deference to his inability to stay in place, and earlier Kei saw Kageyama shove a bulging plastic bag into the corner of the club room with the rest of his belongings. This is feeling more and more like a premeditated attempt to get Kei to go along with their plans.
Kei forcibly reminds himself that he truly does enjoy this friendship on most days. Six centimeters from his chest, Hinata’s practically vibrating with anticipation. Tadashi merely grins when Kei looks to him for support, which makes it especially hard to remember why he puts up with such energetic people on the daily. Quite possibly it’s a divine punishment for some slight in a previous life, like cruelly breaking someone’s heart or stealing candy from a hundred babies. Maybe some minor larceny or something.

Tadashi orchestrates a(n ambush) sleepover at his house. Kei (doesn't) have a crush.

Summary
Sunlight reflecting sharply off the bold colors of his hero suit, All Might looms over Bakugo. His signature smile is in place as his shadow consumes the snarling boy, somehow much larger than the man himself; he looks cruel and foreboding as he lowers the medal towards Bakugo’s shrieking mouth.
He fits the strap between Bakugo’s teeth at the same time Chiyo winds up.

Summary
Usually he likes training. It gets him out of his head, and he appreciates the exercise. The castle is huge and empty, but he feels cooped up. Fighting has always been something he’s good at. He knows the ebb and flow better than he knows the back of his hand, can raise from sleep into a fighting stance at a moment’s notice.
Even so, he’s not a stranger to getting the shit kicked out of him. Keith’s been in one too many losing battles, but it’s never been like this. He’s always been clear headed and in control. Today, though, he can’t think or see straight and suddenly all he wants to do is curl up under his blankets and sleep for a week.
Keith gets sick.

Summary
When Lance pulls him into an alcove on the way to the training room, Keith doesn’t push him away.
He maybe should, because it's the middle of the night and they should be resting. But the past few weeks have been a nonstop push on one of the nearby Galra bases: a lot of careful planning, several days of fighting, and the cleanup required after the liberation of the planets that’d been under the control of the base. There’d been no time for anything but business; none of their normal argumentative dynamic, no sleeping in the same beds, no quiet moments to themselves.
So maybe it’s selfish of him, but he lets himself have this, have Lance. He’d intended to go train, even though they’ve done nothing but fight and work for since they've been in this galaxy, because even if the battle’s over, the war certainly isn’t. He’s got too much pent up energy, and only one outlet for it.
Or, Keith thinks as Lance smiles at him and stoops to kiss his neck, maybe he has another option.
Five times Keith and Lance kiss and one time they don't.

Summary
"I somehow come to regret every single decision I've ever made, so I decided to just confront the universe head on this year. It can't make a fool of me if I make a fool of myself first," Tsukishima deadpans, much to Tadashi's pleasure.
or: New Year's Eve with the team at Tsukishima's house, several bottles of champagne, and stereotypical, cheesy party games.
