    Summary

    “Who is she?” he asked, not hopeful. This was surely the start of decline in quality, though Xavier could feel his lip curling at the immediately reflexive thought. Vincent was particularly sore about his son’s gauntlet of rejections based on lack of romantic interest. Romance is for the poor, he’d chided more than once, though he regularly confessed in his cups – to be forgotten in sobriety – that Xavier’s mother had been the only woman he’d ever loved. The last time they’d spoken about the possibility of him marrying, Vincent had even suggested that a dowry wasn’t strictly necessary, provided the bride’s family could provide for him in some way.

    “A Miss Wednesday Addams.”

    “Addams.”

    “Yes.” Alford couldn’t seem to conceal his excitement and personal interest, clasping his hands together as though to keep from bursting into applause.

    “They are a very prominent family. Did they approve of this?” Of him?

    “It’s a very unusual situation. The young lady herself is in charge of her prospects.” Alford’s feathered eyebrows quirked. “She is seeking a husband in name only.”

    Summary

    There was a buzzing under his skin and a tightness in his chest. Lesser mortals would call it panic—or maybe terror. But he was the strong one. He didn't even panic when he'd been kidnapped. If he panicked now, everyone else would break.

    He didn't have that luxury, but he supposed that was the price of being the strongest. Only one person could handle the full weight of his fears.

    He could panic when Deku woke up.

    -or-

    Izuku is involved in an incident with a villain and Katsuki *goes through it*.
