Summary
After a few months of staying with Dabi, Izuku is slowly adjusting to his new life. He runs errands and keeps watch over their rundown apartment, and in exchange, Dabi helps Izuku with his burns. It’s an almost peaceful existence, but Izuku knows how unlikely it is to last. Dabi isn’t a good man and trouble follows him like the lingering stench of smoke on his clothes.
This is the second part of the Fire and Destiny series. Please read the first fic before this one, or you will likely be very confused.

Summary
After he and his mother are caught in a villain attack, eight-year-old Izuku is left orphaned. His entrance into the foster system appears inevitable, but unbeknownst to Izuku, he still has one remaining relative in Japan: his paternal uncle, Midoriya Haruto, right-hand to the leader of the Shie Hassaikai.
Six years later, Izuku returns to Musutafu, a different person with the same dream. He's going to be a hero. Damn anyone who says he can't.

Summary
Bruno needed to leave, for his sobrina. But Mirabel needed him, now more than ever. His hermana and cuñado would do their best, but they were only two people out of the whole family. Julieta would try to understand, to comfort her daughter, but she wouldn't ever understand what Mirabel was going through.
He needed to leave, but he couldn't leave Mirabel behind.
But that was insane. He was insane for even thinking that leaving with Mirabel was a possibility, never mind a good idea.
Mirabel needed her familia, she needed her mama. And beyond occasionally minding his other sobrinos and sobrinas, Bruno had no experience in taking care of a child. It would be a disaster.
But the alternative — leaving Mirabel behind — wouldn't be much better.

Don't Make Deals With Faeries by StrangerDreams

Summary
Determined to have magic of his own, Izuku Midoriya makes a deal with the Faery King, All For One. But Izuku’s magic came at a price, one that he has no memory of, and has no visible effects. Years later, training under the great wizard Toshinori Yagi, Izuku rediscovers what he traded away.
Very loosely inspired by... TunaFishPrincess’s Checkmate, SilveRanger’s A Web of Love and Lies Series, and a book I read in maybe (?) sixth grade, from which I borrowed some (?) plot elements. (Kinda?)

Ave Maria by nopaintjustpain
Fandom Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
30 May 2026
Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

This series is so damned beautiful. Wonderful exploration of how Grace could thrive, not just survive, on Erid. Definitely brought tears to my eyes more than once.

Something There (Sweet And Unrefined) by RayShippouUchiha

Summary
“I really am sorry I scared you,” Izuku murmurs as he bends down to carefully scoop the boy out of the snow.
He shifts his cargo carefully, adjusting his hold on the boy so that his head is supported and his face is shielded from the snowfall against the thick, deep green fur that covers Izuku’s body.
“Just hold on,” Izuku says as he turns into the snowfall to begin the long trek back home. “I’ll keep you safe, I promise.”
And maybe, just maybe, if Izuku does a good enough job this one will stay long enough to realize that just because Izuku looks like a beast now, he’s still human in all of the ways that matter.

Summary
Jim wrote a romance novel just to prove he could. Then someone leaked it on the public Starfleet server, and suddenly his embarrassingly smutty and sentimental Human/Vulcan love story is all over campus. Luckily for Jim, no one knows that he’s the author. Unluckily for Jim, someone forwarded the novel to the staff of the Vulcan embassy. Now, every Vulcan in San Francisco is reassessing the logical merits of taking Human bondmates.
Spock reads a Human/Vulcan romance novel because he can hardly avoid it. Suddenly, he is consumed by the need to locate the author, ascertain their wellbeing, and instruct them in the way of Vulcan mating bonds. Luckily for Spock, it doesn't take long to identify the author as Jim Kirk. Unluckily for Spock, Jim is unconscious and surrounded by interested Vulcans who also read the book.
