  2. Summary

    Privet Drive number 4 may be Harry's personal Hell, but Privet Drive number 6, the house on the other side of the fence, and the people there? It sure is a curious place with curious habitants.

    And maybe the never ending string of truths and stories that unravel themselves just behind that unassuming door is enought to carry him through all his years in that makeshift prision his Aunt and Uncle keep him in.

    Summary

    Before the Problem Child can dump another cosmic mystery on him, a man shoots out of the alleyway. He’s tall, with nothing really special about him to identify aside from the knife he holds to Midoriya’s throat. Shouta immediately grips his capture weapon and shifts into his ready-to-kick-ass stance, as Hizashi likes to call it. The kid in question looks nowhere near as scared or shocked as he should with a sharp weapon pointed at his neck.

    “Oh,” Midoriya blinks, “This must be the progression.”

    ----------
    Or: reality is not what it seems, apparently, but Shouta is determined to understand if only to help the kid feel a little less alone in his struggle against the universe, or whatever.

    Summary

    Kakashi was tired.

    A couple times he still second guessed himself. Wondered if it would be better to fail the team and let whatever happens to them happen.

    But every time he saw the photo of his old team, he remembered why he couldn’t.

    He couldn’t let that happen to them. This system had already screwed them over. The people who were supposed to care for them had done the opposite.

    Kakashi wasn’t going to be another adult who let these kids down.

    “I don’t know what’s going to happen. And maybe I’ll only make things worse…” Kakashi murmured softly to the framed photo at his bedside. “…But I have to try.”

    He had too. Or these pups were as good as dead.

     

    OR: Kakashi realizes how bullshit it is that Team Seven was even a team in the first place, and does things differently. Screw Hiruzen for putting him in this position.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

    But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

    Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

    (This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

    Summary

    The first time Sirius meets Remus, it’s in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    The second time they meet, it’s two weeks later. Two weeks that Sirius has spent thinking about green eyes and elbow patches and that charming smile that he wishes he had captured on camera, because he’s starting to forget it and it’s killing him.
