    Summary

    Maynard tried to raise his paws in a placating gesture. “But a common enemy does not always make a friendship. I need you to swear you will not harm me if I release you; and that you’ll cut my bonds as well!”

    The wildcat’s tail lashed. “What do you think I’m going to do, rob you while we’re both prisoners?”

    No, the mouse thought, I think you might eat me. Aloud he merely pressed. “Do you swear?”

    “Yes, fine, I swear,” her ears turned back menacingly. “Now you’d better come through with your end.”

    Maynard nodded. “The word of a mouse of Redwall,” he said solemnly. “Is as solid as the red stone!”

    Something about his words seemed to give her pause, and she stared at him for a pregnant moment. He couldn’t help but feel he was being measured somehow, and his life was going to depend on the result.

    Luckily, the cat seemed to like what she saw. As she looked at him she cocked her head to one side, ears cocked the other way. “What’s your name, mouse?”

    “Brother Maynard, at your service,” he made an abortive attempt to bow in spite of his trussed up state.

    “Yes, it looks like you are,” there was an odd gleam in her feline eyes. “Very well Maynard the mouse, let’s hurry.”

    Summary

    TW

     

    The moment Izuku lets himself tip forwards over the edge of the building, the sharp wind rushing his face and curls catching in the force of falling, he knows he’d make a grave mistake.

    I don’t want to die...

    But he’s already made his decision; you can't come back from this. He stares wide-eyed as the ground gets closer and closer as the seconds tick on, eyes squeezing shut as he waits for impact. He awaits the consequences of his own stupid actions and then—

     

    I don’t want to die.

     

    —and then he opens his eyes and he’s stood peering over the edge of the building he’d just fallen from. Beside him, his shoes are tucked neatly on the ledge, backpack leaned on the ground beside them just as he’d left them. Izuku blinks owlishly, leaning forwards to stare ten stories down. Ten stories down where he’d just been a moment prior, only seconds away from hitting the ground.

    He’s... back?

    And that’s the first time Midoriya Izuku realizes that he does, in fact, have a Quirk.

    Summary

    His hand lashes out, fingers wrapping around a strong wrist in a bid to keep the stranger from walking off.

    Shōta has enough time to see a flash of wide green eyes and the way the stranger cocks their free arm back in what looks to be a text-book perfect swing.

    And then black closes in around the edges.

    Summary

    Yet, almost three years later finds Izuku where he is now.

    Sitting on the edge of the bed that he’s been sharing with Shōta for almost a year now, in the apartment Izuku has slowly grown to think of as home, with his heart actively breaking over the fact that, once again, he’s been left behind.

    Because Shirakumo Oboro is somehow alive and well.

    And he’s all that Shōta, and everyone else in the friend group that had quickly become Izuku’s own, can see.
