    Summary

    Seemingly out of nowhere and with no warning, Pyro returns to Tegrith, set on picking his life right back up where he left it eight years ago. Scott has no idea what to think about the man who used to be his best friend, who abandoned them all once, but is now promising that he's here to stay.

    Especially with how he's saying that he's back for Scott specifically.

    Both of them have changed in their time apart, but Scott swears that there's something different about Pyro. Has he just matured? Did he go though something awful while away from home? Or is it something more?

    On top of Scott's whirlwind of conflicted emotions, Tegrith is threatened by a strange corrupting force like no one has ever seen before. Except maybe Pyro...

    Summary

    “It is Kryn spellcraft. Evil stuff, I’m afraid,” Ikithon tells Bren’s parents, dripping with sympathy. “One of them must have bound your son’s soul to theirs. Injuries and other ailments are transmitted through the bond. But don’t worry. We know how to take care of cases like his, here at Soltryce.”

    *

    Exposure to dunamis has unpredictable effects. Two people can become entangled across vast distances in space, their future connection echoing backwards through time. The elite of the Dynasty call this phenomenon the soulmate bond.

    Trent Ikithon calls it an excellent strategic opportunity.

    (In which Bren thinks he's cursed, Astrid and Wulf think he needs protection, and Essek has never met him, but he knows Bren is in danger.)

    Summary

    In search of a bloodless end to the war, impossible as it may be, the cure seems to offer an answer to all of the the humans' prayers. Holy water, a purified beacon, and a few choice words are all that it takes to cure vampirism from the infected parties—whether they want it or not. Rolling back the clock in a single moment.

    Literally rolling back the clock, that is to say. The cure undoes more than just the vampirism, instead bringing the person to back to before they ever even met their Sire. Physically and mentally.

    The fight might be bloodless, but it is no less a struggle to be faced with the people who did so much harm; now stripped of their crimes, their memories, and their entire lives. Can the humans of Oakhurst look into the clueless faces of Scott and Owen and find something innocent within? And can Scott and Owen live with the hundreds of years that they lost?

    Scott and the other vampires are de-aged by the cure, and lose various amounts of time from their memories and bodies. It causes as many issues as it fixes.

    Summary

    UA has a rule—no quirkless students. It was added years ago, after much hemming and hawing about safety concerns and lessening blame in the inevitable circumstance of death. There's no real reason to remove it, not as the percentage of quirkless people plummets further and further.

    Of course, this rule doesn't actually matter to Izuku, because he's got an analysis quirk.

    As far as anyone knows.

    The Plan is simple: have a quirk, become a hero, and avoid anyone who could disprove those first two things.

    In hindsight, UA isn't a great choice. And that's before the villains.
