Sweet-Salt Feral

by SoftChismosa

Aizawa had thought, at first, that his real problem child would have been the ash blond with the powerful quirk. Don’t get him wrong- Bakugou is definitely still a problem child. But her...Aizawa stares critically at the girl sitting in the cot- actively licking at the cut across her forearm. Her nose dribbles blood but she doesn’t lick that away. Her eyes singe holes into Iida’s face. Iida doesn’t glare back. His eyes stay carefully on Recovery Girl- arm cradled to his chest because that little menace of a girl had managed to break it.Short, skinny, and wild. She’d broken Tenya’s arm and didn’t even flinch when he screamed. Iida Tenya finally flicks a glance up at her. Yamada Hanako doesn’t even blink as his eyes immediately fall away.Yamada Hanako… What an ominous moniker.Who named a little quirkless girl after an unidentified corpse like that?--In which I write a fic about a quirkless main character because I really want one but like I can’t seem to find one that the mc doesn’t discover a hidden quirk. I’m saying this now: She Is Quirkless!

Quietus

by ElkasCorner

This wasn't how it was supposed to end. Everyone they have ever loved is dead, or dying, or wished they were dead. The kingdom is in ruins, the survivors barely holding on. If they could fix it, they would. If only they had more time.And time was theirs to command.ORGhost ascends to godhood, decides to travel back in time and fix things, and saves those they couldn't before. They deserve a family, and nobody deserves to die (except soul master. fuck him.)

Dear Forgiveness, I Saved You a Plate

by corvusbonetea

Mirabel settled down in between the two roots next to her tío, gathering her skirt neatly in her hands and smoothing it out on her lap.The night around them was just bordering on cool, but the animals and the insects were active. Through the trees they had a good view of the village and Casita.Mirabel breathed out, breath caught somewhere between something wistful and sorrowful."When I stepped into that river, there were ghosts speaking to me."Bruno looked up sharply from where he was tracing the edge of his fingernail around the pale crescent of an old scar.Mirabel stared forward, voice soft, absent of the youth and joy that usually colored it."I stepped into the waters and I could hear the voices, when I moved my eyes it was like… like seeing an echo. There were men on horses, people on the shore."She looked down at a spot on her skirt and pulled it taut so she could fidget with the embroidery, "I saw Abuelo Pedro."

Storytime!
