    Summary

    Robby sagged a little, another tiny rush of air out. Jack pretended not to notice any of it even as it slid through him, his hypothesis gaining evidence, firming in his mind.

    No, Jack didn't think anyone ever touched Robby.

    He was going to change that.

    Summary

    After his last carnal sin, confession and repentance, over thirty years ago, Cardinal Thomas Lawrence had given up that part of his life gladly. It hadn’t felt like a sacrifice anymore. God’s love had been enough.

    Enough until now.

    Now, in his darkest hour.

    Now, when he has become a priest who can’t pray.

    Now is the time when God sends him the hardest test he’s ever had to face.

    Summary

    Izuku has plans for everything.

    He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

    For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

    Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

    (Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

    Summary

    Roy is exactly stupid enough to let a newly-returned Ed stay in his home – but it's possible, somehow, that precisely the right amount of things have changed.
