Summary
Listen, Shen Yuan knows she should leave her apartment more, okay? She gets it. Luckily, there's a pretty obscure, bougie cafe open until 3am just a block and a half from her apartment. She could be one of those cool college students who post up in a coffee shop to study, right? Actually, don't answer that.
She was not expecting her study routine to line up with this snarky barista's work schedule though! How's she supposed to get any work done when someone this attractive is so blatantly judging her??

Summary
This is the way the world works: the sun rises in the east. The strong come out on top. Bakugou Katsuki rockets through life like a comet and Midoriya Izuku stumbles after. If he believed in such things Katsuki would say it was written in the stars. That some god of war had looked at him and said this one. That he’d been passed along a line to get his blessings – genius, willpower, fearless ambition – and dropped off on earth.
Then, of course, there is the question of Deku. The spitfire runt. Deku, no matter what the world does to him, never stops hoping.
Until, of course, he eventually does.
(Katsuki broke him. Snapped him in half like a twig and now has to scramble to put Deku back together. “We can do this, Deku," he says slowly. "There are so many mysteries that never got put to bed. Criminals roaming around looking to hurt people and you and me, we can fix that.”
There’s a long pause. The comforter slips a little off Deku’s skinny shoulders and drowns him. “You mean like a team?”
In that split second, Katsuki makes a decision he’s never even considered. He swallows his pride. “Yeah, Deku. We’d be a team.”)

Summary
The year is 1813, and Izuku is perfectly happy to roam the countryside and waste his days in carefree bliss. But life, as it happens, has other plans. Mr. Yagi is dying, and his considerable fortune? Completely out of reach. Why? Because Izuku and his siblings are omegas.
The solution? Well… It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single alpha in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a mate.
The prospect alone is trouble enough to make his head spin. And if that isn’t enough, he also must deal with the new leasers of the neighboring estate, and the obnoxious, rude, proud guest they bring.
If nothing else, Mr. Bakugou is here to teach Izuku one infuriating lesson: a fortune may make a man, but it doesn’t make him tolerable.

Summary
Shen Yuan was apparently, an average disciple.
According to Ning Yingying and some older Shimei’s, everyone had been baffled when Shizun had made him a personal disciple. He was good enough to be an inner disciple but not the best by a long shot, and Shizun only took The Best. He didn’t get into any of the infighting senior disciples normally did for their Shizun’s favor because according to Ning Yingying
“Shizun thinks Shen-Shixiong is a lazy brat, and Shixiong doesn’t care what anyone thinks ‘cause he’s always trying to get off the mountain to go hunt monsters like he’s some Bai Zhan Brute.” She had then assured Luo Binghe that he’d love Shen Yuan.
Luo Binghe has a sinking feeling in his chest that perhaps, this is the most accurate thing his Shijie has ever said to him.

Summary
“I want to open our relationship.”
Izuku blinked. “What?”
”I want an open marriage,” Shindo repeated, dictating every syllable, enunciating slowly— as if Izuku somehow hadn't heard him the first time.
-or-
Izuku is withering in a one-sided, open marriage with his piece of shit husband, Shindo.
Katsuki decides to sweep Izuku off his feet while he has the chance.
*inspired by those reddit posts on tiktok with the minecraft parkour in the background that are like “my (24M) spouse (25M) asked to open our marriage and now they want to close it because i found someone else that treats me like royalty”

Complicated Creation by Elemental

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.
