Things that Haunt Our Hallways

by ghostwriterofthemachine

“It was a kid,” Yagi gasped out. He had his hand balled up into a fist and the fist pressed to his lips, as if to remind himself that he could not start screaming. “Or. Young person, maybe 20. Homeless, I think. Activated their Quirk on reflex and then ran. The kids—” Here, he pressed his fist harder to his mouth, sucked in a wheezing breath, as if the air itself was pushing down something with physical weight. “The kids—”   “Scattered immediately,” Aizawa finished for him, and Yagi managed a nod.  Yagi’s eyes were so dilated that the blue was almost invisible. He shook violently. He looked like a scarecrow in a windstorm.   Someone activated a Fear-Inducer Quirk so powerful that it reduced All Might to this— of course Aizawa’s class had bolted. Or:A Fear Gas fic, BNHA style.

invincible against everything (but the tears in your eyes)

by Stardust_Painter

Nobody in class 2-A is quite sure how this mini-competition began. Odds were high that it was a stupid bet that Mina had started. It was quite possible that it had even been some careless, off-hand comment from the man himself. However it started didn’t really matter though. What mattered was that it had started and now they all had to know. Who could find out what Bakugou Katsuki, the demon of class 2-A, was afraid of? (Or a 5 + 1 thing where Class 2-A tries to find out what could possibly make Bakugou scared.)

The old bait and switch

by FanFiction_Artist_Prototype

Nobody ever thought quirkless, weak, weird Midoriya Izuku was dangerous. This perception carried over to his first year high school class, because really despite the super strength Midoriya didn't have it in him to be dangerous. That was their first mistake. And the one that would see them fall.

Scorned

by AdrianaintheSnow

A wrist was pressed against his mouth. “Drink,” Technoblade said into his ear, and any lingering hope that he might just kill him here or better yet just let him die from his injuries instead of dragging him back to their sire withered away. Tommy kept his mouth shut. “Drink, now, or you’re going to die.” Scorned fledglings either had a sympathetic adult vampire take them on as a substitute sire or died. The first was not an option for Tommy. Everyone knew the moment he managed to wiggle out of the cruel grip of his own sire that helping him was a death sentence. In fact, coming face to face with any vampire meant getting dragged back to those who'd laid claim to his blood. Few wanted to go against the Sleepy Coven; all wanted to gain favor with them. His fate was to die on the street at best. At worst... well, that's why he’d ran. Yet, he ended up blessed by circumstance (for once) with a third option curtesy of his best friend Tubbo whose hands were stained with magic and who was willing to do what was necessary to keep him alive, bloodsucker or not. (I adore all of the Dark SBI vampire fics, but I'm also a wimp, so I want it to all be a horrible misunderstanding and for them to all hug at the end.)

Running back the tape, watching it replay

by Faralyne

For someone ripped from their time, ripped from the few but strong relationships built by time and personal development, by self-reflection and swallowed pride, ripped from the one thing that made him feel worthwhile and needed and put-together, and forced to forge everything over again—Katsuki thinks he is handling it pretty fucking well.OrA villain’s quirk sends a 29-year-old Bakugou back in time to his middle school days.Bakugou-centric fic.

the thing with feathers

by RoseThorne

A night hunt gone wrong leaves Wei Wuxian facing life without a husband and son. He refuses. Using an experimental array, he attempts temporal transmigration, but it goes wrong. Instead of sending himself back hours, he sends himself back to the age of ten, and the strain on his young body and mind requires another desperate use of resentful energy... which also goes wrong, leaving his younger self with near-complete amnesia, all his memories sealed. A different sort of time travel fic. Note: this is somewhat based on CQL, mixed with the novel and anime because canon? What canon? But what's happening now is pre-canon so it doesn't matter much. Amazing fancover by adrian_kres at the beginning of each chapter. Last chapter is fanart! Spanish translation available!

The Hotline

by AliciaRoseFantasy, aloneintherain

But Peter, still frightened from past experiences with aggressive officers, is reluctant to co-operate, until, through unexpected circumstances and surprising friendships, a program made simply to communicate with the hero, becomes much, much more.
