    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku never made it to UA. A little tweak and he's off to a new life with the same dream.

    In the wake of All Might's retirement and the struggles against the League of Villains, a new agency is racking up arrests and making waves in the Hero world. Starting in their Third year, select members of UA's Cursed Class are granted a chance to team up with them.

    When unexpected history causes drama, Hitoshi gets a look at who he might work with, and now he's determined to stay. It means proving himself in a new way and learning where the landmines are as he inches closer to the hero known as "Eight".

    Summary

    Izuku has spent his entire divine life being preserved. Kept safe. Kept still. Kept, in every sense of the word.

    So he runs.

    What he finds in the mortal world: honest work, earned calluses, purpose and joy, and one deeply unforthcoming man in black who saves his life and clearly considers the event entirely unremarkable.

    What Hades finds: a clever, reckless runaway who is apparently incapable of staying out of trouble. The reasonable response is to leave him to it.

    He does not leave him to it.

    An MHA retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth — told from the perspective of a Persephone who is nobody's victim.

    Featuring: Demeter, who loves badly but sincerely, Apollo being an excellent older brother sort within limits, and Shoto Todoroki eating grapes while Olympus implodes.

    Summary

    Midoriya Inko kept a secret for years. Not out of malice, but out of love—carefully compartmentalizing her life. Never letting the pieces bleed into each other. She didn't mean to take it all to the grave. But she did.

    After his mother's death, Izuku has lost the life he knows and his identity. Who is he with a quirk? Who is he when no one else knows who he is? It's a clean slate he doesn't know what to do with.
    Shouta Aizawa and Hizashi Yamada are navigating custody, grief, and the delicate work of building something that feels like home.

    In the space between what they know and what they don't, three broken people learn that healing doesn't mean forgetting. It means finding new ways to carry the weight.

    A story about found family, the weight of secrets, and discovering that sometimes the people closest to us are exactly who we need, even when we don't know the whole truth.

    Summary

    The kids are recovering. Todoroki and Midoriya have become Class A’s power couple.  With the near-death experience still a very recent memory, the romance isn’t a distraction; it’s confidence and motivation.

    There’s a fair amount of light-hearted teasing that only affects Midoriya. Midnight coos over them regularly, but Shouta can’t share in these lighter moments.
    Guilt hangs around his neck like a slowly tightening noose.

    Prompts Used

    Start your story with our literary quote, or use it as a vibe:
    ““Men lie, and they lie to theirselves worst of all.”

    ― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go

    Optional/Additional Prompts:
    2- "Guilt is a thief of joy."
    4- Despite neglect, something (a plant, a friendship, a power) grows where it shouldn’t.

    Summary

    At the start of the new term, winter training in the mountains goes badly.

    Prompts Used

    Our main prompt was:
    Start or end your story with: “It was so terribly cold. Snow was falling, and it was almost dark.” (From Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Match Girl”)”

    And I leaned into that hard.

    Then choose two more:
    (1) Describe winter as if it were a person. What are they wearing? What is their personality like? Are they who you expect?

    (2) Detail the sensation of coming from the cold, blustery outdoors into a warm, cozy room.

    Izuku becomes a delinquent and fails at it was the prompt.

    Summary

    Reached to the 'end' where "Have Faith in Me" got dropped and wondered about Mitsuki's reaction to it all. And thought about her meeting Nemuri. And...Poor Izuku because they are each a menace in their own right and they'd be a terror together.
