Summary

“All Might?” Midoriya whispers.

Toshinori breathes through his mouth, trying to ignore the taste of cotton shirt on his tongue, as his own voice greets his ears.

“I fear,” Toshinori starts, pushing futilely at Midoriya’s chest until the kid, with a blush and stammer, pulls away. “That we may have been inflicted with a quirk.”
All Might and Izuku find themselves hit with a quirk that allows them to walk a mile in each other's shoes for a few days. It has ups and downs.

Summary

Katsuki sighs. “One to ten?”

Izuku blinks at him, slow and sleepy and really not there. Katsuki counts in his mind, waiting for a reply.

“Eight?” Izuku says, the words slurring. “Comes after seven, right?”

Katsuki snorts. The nerd is fucking out of it. “Migraine?”

“Mmph,” Izuku replies, his eyes shutting. He breathes deeply, and Katsuki holds onto that. Despite all of the—all of the things that have happened to them, and the constant pain that always bites at Izuku’s heels—there’s the scratch of Izuku’s curls under his palm, the heat from Izuku’s body next to him, and the breaths telegraphed so clearly, even to Katsuki’s drifting focus.

Izuku is here. Katsuki is here. All is well.
Or...If all Izuku asks for is comfort, who is Katsuki to deny it?

C3H8O3 + HNO3 + H2SO4 by Lilly_Penwielder, Theoretica for November_Clouds

Summary

Yes, nitroglycerin for sweat is fucking cool. Yes, blowing things up is way better than Deku's stupid punches or Candy Cane's cliché fire and ice thing. But it also—it also comes with downsides that Katsuki is going to take to his fucking grave, and they're currently being really, really fucking annoying.

Because when you mix glycerol, nitric, and sulfuric acid, you make something really, really cool, but you also make something really, really hot.
When Bakugou gets hit by Trigger during their work-study with Endeavor, everyone thinks he's going to destroy half the city. Shouto is the only one that knows that what's about to happen isn't nearly as bad for everyone else, but that it’s going to be much worse for Bakugou.

Summary

My deepest apologies for the late update. Recently, one of my coworkers needed to believably murder someone, so I was placed in a coma for several weeks. I hope you enjoy.
Sorry for the wait. I had to perform heart surgery on a 16 year-old in an active warzone. It took a toll on me.
hey guys sorry been busy lost a few limbs but the fight was sick as FUCK
A certain demographic of fanfiction authors seem to be experiencing the AO3 author's curse a little bit more than everyone else. Fortunately, there's an "investigative journalist" on the case.

Summary

And despite everything—despite being Number Two, despite debuting as the most successful rookie of all time, despite the Commission sending him to behavioral therapists and training as many fears out of Wing Hero: Hawks as possible—

Keigo still couldn't help it. He had two ears, hundreds of feathery auditory organs, and seven years of childhood prior to being sold to the Commission.

He flinched.
Someone breaks a plate in the League of Villains’ kitchen. For most of the League, this is fine; an honest accident—but Hawks and Dabi respond very, very differently.

Summary

Coco's brow arched in disbelief. "Trying to end hunger in Vein. A valiant effort, one I haven't seen too much truth be told. Still, I gotta ask: what exactly do you think you can do that Silva's scientists couldn't?"

If she hadn't already decided to give Louis his answers mostly free of charge, she would have changed her mind as soon as he said the words, "Give a damn."

Summary

“Or what about Ushijima?”
That catches Kiyoomi’s attention, and he stops in the middle of the street to turn around and scowl at Atsumu. “What about Ushijima?”
Atsumu must tilt his head back to smirk up at Kiyoomi from beneath the visor of his cap. “He’s not workin’ on quicks. You’d be a step ahead of him if ya did. He might even raise an eyebrow in surprise or somethin’ equally as scandalous.”
Kiyoomi stares at him, narrows his gaze as he scrutinises Atsumu’s face, the challenge in the upturned corners of his lips. “Are you attempting to manipulate me, Miya?” he asks.
“I dunno. Is it workin’?”
“Kind of.”
“Then yeah, I guess.”
______________________
When Kiyoomi and Atsumu accidentally pull off a minus-tempo quick during practice, Atsumu convinces Kiyoomi to practice it for the new season.
It's sort of inevitable that he convinces Kiyoomi to fall in love with him too.
