    Summary

    He had long since left the dance floor, but Eris Vanserra still felt the burn of silver fire on his skin.
    Nesta Archeron.
    She had danced with him like she wanted to burn him alive, and Mother help him, he hadn’t wanted to be anywhere else.
    The music hadn’t stopped, but the moment had. Still, some part of him was caught in it—off balance, branded, wondering if he’d imagined the whole damn thing.
    He should leave. He’d made his move. He'd shown his hand. Maybe more than he should have, outright turning down the gift of a Made weapon in exchange for a chance at Nesta's hand in marriage.
    There was nothing more to be gained here.
    And yet.

    or

    A retelling of ACOSF, starting at the Winter Solstice Ball, where Eris decides that he can’t—won’t let Nesta slip out of his grasp this easily. Nesta, feeling trapped in a life she never chose, accepts his offer to train her power at the Autumn Court.
    This is a story about choice and healing on your own terms.

    EDIT 11/04: Not abandoned, just on hiatus for personal reasons. There's a lot going on in my life right now, but I'll get back to this once I actually have the time and headspace to write the conclusion the story deserves!

    Summary

    A blood stained hand wraps around her arm, stopping her in her tracks. The scene continues to play out in the archway but Vivi finds her gaze pulled to Zoro. Blood trickles freely down the side of his face and fire finally returns to his eyes. Her heart leaps. Zoro is back. Her lips twitch up as Zoro links their hands together, grip tight and determined.
    “Together.” The word slurs from his blood stained lips.
    Vivi nods, squeezing his hand, and steps forward. Together. They’ll fix this. They’ll save their nakama.
     

    Or

    After the Strawhats are massacred, an unlikely duo travel back to save their nakama and change the course of destiny.

    Summary

    Izuku doesn't ever tell anybody about Bakugou's bullying. That silence shapes both of their futures and the redemption arc set up for Bakugou in canon. So here's a closer look at that silence, eventually breaking it, and Izuku's own frustration with it.

    (Also there's parallels with Todoroki and Endeavour, #quality)
