Summary
He is lungfuls of ash and char-edged smoke; he is the skeletons the fire leaves behind. Broken glass. Blood in the sand. He’s remnants, now. Fragments of the consequences. That’s all.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

Summary
The war is all but over, and the wrong side won. Worse, the Wizarding World's hero and Ron Weasley's best friend died in the fight. When Draco Malfoy offers Ron a way to go back and fix things, he jumps at the chance. But can he anticipate how his changed moves will affect the board?
[Trope stew: this fic began as an exercise, an attempt to use problematic or challenging tropes. A meta-discussion of each trope to follow each chapter.]

Summary

Summary
Hero isn't telling his family about Mari.
He feels like the subject of a romantic comedy. A Shakespearean one; one where the main draw, to keep an audience's attention, is not the lure of a happy ending, but the entertainment of watching an idiot stumble about in a whirlwind of chaos of his own making. Except his whirlwind carried a hint of hot, stale wind, and his world was made of cardboard and flaky plaster, and--
A Greek chorus laughs at him. Mari is everything he shouldn't want. The audience is tapping an impatient foot.
Hero doesn't mind. He's used to it.
(Or; in which Hero doesn't like thinking about dying.)
