    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.

    Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.

    Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

    Summary

    Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”

    The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.

    or,

    Izuku tries to pretend eveything is okay even though his homelife is crumbling around him, there's an insanely powerful Quirk that's not entirely his coursing through his veins, he suddenly knows his childhood hero, All Might, and to top it all off, he seems to have befriend a pastel blue-haired ghost that has way too much insider knowledge on Izuku's new homeroom teacher, and English teacher. He's really just trying to survive Yuuei...

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya’s father is a Hou-ou — a Japanese phoenix.

    For some reason, this means yokai have a standing invitation to pester Izuku with their existence. Birds assemble choirs for his birthday. If there’s no cedar leaf under the welcome mat, the amazake babaa that lives two apartments over will be knocking on their door by evening. His yokai-purifying excursions get mistaken for vigilantism far too often.

    (What’s going on with All Might? Is Principle Nedzu a yokai? Tokoyami, could you please get Dark Shadow to stop calling me ‘my Lord’?)

    Summary

    Izuku shifted to go in the third window instead of the second - he could drop down one more floor once the hero outside was gone. He used his knife to quickly flip open the lock and slipped inside, shutting the window behind him just in time to see the hero round the corner.

    He let out a sigh of relief and turned around, only to freeze at the sight of two pro-heroes, someone who was probably a hero-in-training, and a little girl in a hospital bed all staring at him.

    “What, exactly, do you think you’re doing?” Eraserhead asked. Casting his gaze quickly to the side, Izuku saw a dark grey owl spirit with glowing red eyes looming over the hero's shoulder. The sharp snap of a beak from the blue, glowing heron spirit in the corner - an aosagibi clearly belonging to the other hero, Present Mic - punctuated his words.

    Summary

    After escaping the Digital Circus, Christina is trying to adjust to a reality that doesn’t feel entirely real.

    A month later, she’s found some of the others—but not everyone made it out, and the missing pieces still linger. Recovery is messy, grief is constant, and nothing feels stable for long.

    Then she meets Felix.

    Once Jax, now something quieter and more complicated, he’s just as fractured as she is. What starts as distance slowly shifts into something softer—shared silence, unspoken understanding, and the uneasy feeling that maybe neither of them is as alone as they thought.

    Because even outside the circus, some things don’t stop following you.

    And sometimes, survival just means learning how to stay.
