Summary
“Why are you assuming that your parents are dead?”
Katsuki is silent for several long moments, tilting his head down to bury his face in the bloodied fur of his stuffed animal. He isn’t shivering anymore. He’s standing completely still, eyes downcast and expression shadowed by the fall of his hair.
When he speaks, his voice is steady.
“I killed them.”

Aizawa finds a kid on the street and decides to take care of him.
Here's the problem: he's nineteen years old, he can't even take care of himself, and Katsuki is far from easy to raise.

Summary
Regulus feels a flush crawl down his body. He feels filthy. He would do anything to have James here kicking him in the teeth. To see him, be touched by him. Regulus has never needed it to be gentle, even if he wanted it. He couldn’t accept it before and he doesn’t deserve it now.
or: regulus gets really drunk and sad and james comes to the rescue, kind of.

Keith is 18 and unlucky enough to be picked from the reaping bowl on the very last year that he's eligible to be in the Hunger Games. It makes watching people who volunteer for the "honor" of playing in the Games, like Lance McClain, climb to the top of his shit list.
He'll kill him first.

Summary
inspired by leith ross’ song “we’ll never have sex” <3
***
And Nico cried. He cried, because he wouldn’t let Will touch him but Will didn’t care. He just thought Nico was pretty. Will didn’t say anything. Didn’t do anything. Didn’t ask if he was okay, or why he was crying. Didn’t try to hug him or touch him. And Nico loved him for that.
