Summary
“I’ll offer some incentive for your cooperation: if you can best me in a spar, I’ll show you something I know you’ll like.”
“You think you know what I like?” Lyney goads skeptically.
Wriothesley tilts his head at him and Lyney does his best not to squirm under that pale gaze.
“I think I spent enough nights putting you on your back in this ring to have a good idea. Or have you forgotten?”
—
(A year after his disastrous clash with the Duke of Meropide, Lyney is back at the Fortress with two goals: protect Fontaine from the rising number of Vishap attacks and avoid Wriothesley and their unfinished business at all costs.
Now if only Wriothesley would stop turning up like a bad penny.)

Summary
“You look at us,” Bakugou accuses, breath hot against his jaw, “both of us, and expect us not to watch you back?”
Todoroki shakes his head but can’t summon words, and Bakugou voices the fear that has been plaguing Todoroki all summer.
“No one looks like that unless they have a match.”
—
Bakugou and Kirishima share a Soul Mark. Knowing that should be the beginning and the end of Todoroki's interest in their relationship.
(It's not.)

Summary
“Kirishima,” Todoroki says, voice flat, “you do realize we’re Linked. Right?”
Kirishima nods, because yes—they’ve shared enough emotions since their bond formed to solidify that, thanks—but Todoroki continues.
“That means…” He rolls his hips to emphasize his point, and alongside the pleasure that stems from the contact is another, fainter, echo of heat. “You feel what I feel when we’re like this, too.”
“O-oh.”
“You know what I also feel?” Todoroki murmurs into his ear, “You, getting yourself off every night before bed.”
“WHAT?”
—soulmate AU where you feel what your soulmate feels (which leads to some embarrassment when you're a horny teenager with a super hot boyfriend)

Summary
Here’s the thing: it’s not a date.
It can’t be a date, because if Todoroki Shouto—the most socially oblivious person Bakugou knows—had asked him on a date, he would have noticed.
Conversely, if Todoroki Shouto—the most socially oblivious person Bakugou knows—had asked him on a date, and Bakugou hadn’t noticed? Well, he might just have to fling himself off the nearest cliff.
(Todoroki and Bakugou are two of the smartest students at U.A.
However, when it comes to each other, they are PROFOUNDLY stupid.)

Summary
“What are you supposed to be, a Poké Ball?”
“Excuse me?” Shouto blinks, for lack of a better response.
“Your hair,” the blond trainer informs, looking down on him like Shouto had offended him in some way.
He hasn't, not that Shouto can recall—and he gets the sense that this boy is one to leave a memorable impression.(Pokémon Gym Leader Todoroki tags along for Bakugou's Pokémon Journey—and develops a crush along the way)

Summary
“I said I’m fine, Alice,” Daniel snaps, and time itself grinds to a halt.

Why the fuck did he say that?

Summary
Daniel can tell right away that something is deeply, unsettlingly wrong. And that’s when he realizes that Armand hasn’t moved his legs once in Daniel’s sight, which has been trained on him nearly the entire time. How long had it taken Louis to recover from his spinal injury?
“He had a lot more going on,” Armand wheezes. “But, to answer your question without consulting your abysmal recordings? Months.”
“Uh, they’re not so easily consulted at the moment,” Daniel says, trying to maintain his balance. It’s going to be a fucking miracle if he can get himself back on his feet, let alone haul a temporarily paralyzed Armand along with him. “I’m gonna let the head thing slide for the time being.”
“The head thing?”
“You. In mine.”
“How generous.”
“The way I see it,” Daniel says, “I’m your only ticket out of here if you’re in as bad a shape as I think you are. Tell me I’m wrong.”

Summary
Albedo discovers an old drawing of his in a stack of papers – one he’d completely forgotten about.
He recognizes who it is immediately. The alarming part, however, is that he can’t seem to figure out how that could be possible.
