Never and Always, Eventually

by Wawa_Boonliang

"Katsuki can remember the exact moment that he and Deku…that he and Midoriya Izuku became friends. He can also remember the moment he and Izuku became fierce rivals, a time when they were almost enemies.However, what he remembers most clearly about their relationship is the moment that they moved passed rivals and became something more close than mere friends. Something more like brotherhood, something forged in fire and secured in the middle of a battlefield or in the midst of natural disaster where the number of the dead was climbing ever higher. And then it was torn from him." Katsuki is given a second chance. A chance to save everyone. A chance to change everything.But should he?

by holyflyingswisscheese

I read it again, my pointer drifting over the hyperlink. It was the same as the first time I’d read it; I didn’t know what I’d expected. 14 Historical Figures Who Were Probably Autistic (You Won’t Believe Number Twelve) I rubbed my eyes and laughed again, this time a little lighter. Yeah, no way. Or: Grace returns to Earth with an Eridian envoy, gets sucked into an internet rabbit hole, and discovers that he's become one of those scientists who everyone sort of just accepts was probably autistic.
