Persephone

by Lizabeth_Shabow

The first time it happened, Katsuki should have been afraid. He should have screamed, ran, tore at his eyes until they bled. He should have fallen on his ass and soiled himself in fear. He should’ve, he should’ve, he should’ve. But, he didn’t. He froze, not in fear but in awe. His eyes lit up in adoration. An astounded smile, soft and small but steadily growing, chased away the frown lines between his brows. He leaned closer to the storm of destruction in desperation to close the distance. Black, miasmic clouds wisped around Izuku. Bones and rot surrounded him and the harsh light of the summer sun seemed to transform to palid, muted tones when it landed on his deathly skin. His eyes glowed toxic green. -- Or the one where Izuku and Bakugou learn that with great power comes fucking annoying problems and adopt two dysfunctional ki—friends on their way to rock the foundations of the world.

Color Me Surprised

by Adrienne_Of_The_Dark

"After a while, her class stopped letting her deny their accusations and jointly concluded she lied about having a quirk. The only person left who believed she told the truth was Katsuki, and he only wanted to fight her. She was officially dubbed quirkless when he gave in, two weeks before her seventh birthday. She cried while eating her cake.She still remembers it. Gel letters spelled her name out in green, and dark blue frosting accented the vanilla around the rim. It was two layers high, the flavors being chocolate and vanilla respectively.She wondered if she could ever be a hero, watching that legendary video again. She wondered if she could ever smile like that and save anyone.She wouldn’t admit this aloud, but she wondered if the doctor had lied."

we keep this love in a photograph

by witchgrassi

“You can ask for help when you’re hurting. In fact, I encourage it. Or else you’ll just keep ending back up in here over and over. It isn’t worth putting yourself through that just to get stronger. You’ll get stronger no matter what, there’s no need to suffer just for the sake of it,” Aizawa said. “I know, thank you sensei. I promise I’ll do better,” he said, nodding his head fiercely at Aizawa. OR Sero deals with chronic pain on his own, and is forced to ask for help.

Just His Luck

by Lanceeselhombre

“My hip is dislocated.”Dabi blinked once. Twice. He laughed in that sinister way that always made Hawks’ feathers stand on end. “Try again, birdie.” The scarred man huffed, unamused. “You think I’m an idiot?”Hawks sputtered in disbelief. “You think I’m lying?” “I think you’re full of shit.” The villain said.-------Or, Hawks accidentally injures himself minutes before a meeting with the LoV.

icy fingers, frozen toes, stolen heat and undertows

by quirkymeowstery (DemiPalladium)

Only fucking Deku would have a weird-ass quirk that makes him crack open ten-hour designed-to-go-in-clothing-because-regular-ones-would-burn-the-fuck-outta-him hand warmers in the middle of summer.--------Izuku has something akin to a ranged version of All for One. It's incredibly OP and incredibly fucked, in Katsuki's humble opinion.

What's Said Here Stays Here

by Lanceeselhombre

The raven-haired man pushed the door open, then stepped to the side to let them in. The person that came in was none other than the number-two pro hero, Hawks, dressed in his costume’s aviator jacket, though his iconic visor and headphones were missing. Izuku noticed after a closer look that he was wearing regular clothes beneath the jacket- a pair of khakis and a black shirt with a rainbow zebra on the front- and, more importantly, that he was strangely half a meter shorter than he should be. Confused, the student leaned forward in his seat, peering over the rows of desks blocking his view, until he was able to see the colorful wheelchair the hero was sitting in. “Hey, Eraser!” Hawks greeted with a smile as he wheeled himself further into the room, moving out of the way so the other man could close the door. “Sorry if I’m early, it’s been a while since I went out with this. I didn’t want to be late.” He said, motioning to the chair.

Shapes and Colors

by SoftboiNeptune

He dropped during training. Everyone saw what happened. He over-used his quirk like he always does. Now he was in his dumb mode like he always was. This was normal for Kaminari.So, why was he crying? He was always so good at playing it off. Shit! It hurt, it hurt so much. Make it stop he wanted it to stop. If he had enough mind to check himself for marks he would have seen them on his arms. Red, angry, inflamed lighting all across them. Being even more agitated due to his jacket. He was barely aware enough of his surroundings to sit up. Forget checking his injuries.
