    Summary

    Near the end of her pregnancy Concubine Gyokuyou is attacked in the middle of the night. Maomao steps in to defend her and while fighting for her life ends up taking the life of the attacker while sustaining serious injuries.

    While Jinshi steps in to care for her physically, Maomao deals with the mental turmoil of taking a life.

    With Maomao vulnerable and Jinshi doing his best to be patient with her, something begins to bloom between them.

    --

    Complete self-indulgent slow-burn/fluff because I'm sad we didn't get it when Maomao saved Jinshi.

    Summary

    For three whole months, Shinsou had managed to hide that a villain with a powerful mind control quirk had not only captured him and his teacher, but that the villain had also used his quirk to force Aizawa to rape and beat him. Worse, the villain also made Aizawa forget the entire incident, leaving Shinsou to deal with the aftermath all on his own.

    And Shinsou does. Because telling the truth of who really hurt him would destroy Aizawa and that's the last thing he wants to happen. So Shinsou suffers for three long months of lying about what happened, three months of pretending he was fine, three months of trying to protect Aizawa from learning what really happened that night.

    But when the truth suddenly comes out, rendering all of Shinsou's efforts in vain, Aizawa must find a way to deal with the fact that he was the one who hurt his student and Shinsou must find a way to deal with the fallout of his lies.

    Summary of the story so far in Chapter 30 (if you want to skip the angst).

    Reading Part 1 is recommended but not 100% necessary. Anime spoilers for season 4, no manga spoilers.

    Summary

    “So we’ll just blurt out random things?” Mina asked. “Like the fact that I can’t eat sandwiches not cut down the middle?”

    Snickers rose from the class as she turned a bright red.

    Aizawa sighed. “Not exactly. The quirk is a weird mix between a truth quirk and a prone to suggestion quirk, thanks to the boy's parents. It means you’ll be under the effects of a normal truth quirk, but you also won’t have the ability to keep yourselves from oversharing.”

    “So we’ll all be spouting fucking word vomit like Deku?!”

    “Yes, Bakugou. Fucking word vomit.”

    Or

    Class 1-A is hit by a very powerful truth quirk, and lots of things come out. Some things are quite harmless - quite the opposite, really - others are quite funny, and some open wounds that never really healed.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Katsuki could understand a weight on your chest. Sometimes it felt like he was carrying the entire goddamn world on his shoulders, and couldn’t drop any of it without it completely crushing him and everything he cared about in the process.

    _____________________________________________________________

    “Kacchan . . .” His voice was so soft, yet so obviously full of tears. “Do you . . . do you really hate yourself that much?”

     

    “Yeah,” he practically choked out. “I’m fucking horrible, aren’t I?”

     

    Izuku didn’t say anything. Instead, he reached up and grabbed Katsuki’s hand from his face and held it tightly. “No, you’re not. You were a victim, just like me.”

    Summary

    The cruelest thing about the Nameless was that they made it so easy to pretend that Sunday belonged. They fed that greedy, stupid, childish thing that cried out from within him, tossing enough scraps of amity for him to piece them together into something that felt like home. The curtains only closed when Sunday lay awake at night and stared at the ceiling of the bedroom that wasn’t really his, and he remembered that it started like this and could only end like this: with him, alone in the dark.

    Sunday is found by the Astral Express Crew after fleeing Penacony. He accepts their offer to join, and realizes that

    a. fitting into this tight-knit group is likely impossible
    b. trouble finds the Trailblazers no matter where they go.

    or, the chronicle of the Astral Express trying, failing, and trying again to fit Sunday into their family.

    Summary

    "We're really sorry," his father says, in a teary-eyed, wobbly way. "But your friend, Izuku, he's... He's gone, son."
    Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation.
    "What the fuck are you two talking about? The damn nerd is standing right beside you!"

     

     

    During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Stuck in a ghost-like state, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in this state is no one other than Kacchan.

    Alternatively: Deku and Kacchan are soulbound.
