Summary
Kageyama Tobio only loves a few things in life: computers, movies, and interacting with other people as little as possible. So when he meets hotel employee Hinata Shouyou on a work trip and doesn't immediately hate him, it comes as something of a shock. Hinata is everything Tobio isn't—outgoing, worldly, and sexy AF. Even more surprising is the part where Hinata seems to be just as interested in him in return, plunging Tobio into the kind of whirlwind attraction he's only ever seen in films, and certainly never experienced for himself.
Tobio doesn't know why Hinata would want anything to do with him, but he can't stop himself from falling for Hinata's movie star-level charisma… and the air of mystery that surrounds him. Because for all their chemistry, there's something holding Hinata back, making him push Tobio away.
But Tobio is used to keeping people at arm's length, so he might be able to figure out how to get Hinata to let his guard down—and prove that he can be more than just some nerd Hinata met on the job.

Summary
A thought passes through Vander's mind—that it really is astonishing how much you could go from fearing something, dreading it, to craving it so desperately you could claw it apart with your bare hands. To be taken over by the desire to devour it whole.
He's been terrified to face Silco for so long, but now—all Vander wants is him.
--
Silco finds Vander's letter.

Summary
Todoroki: There was a girl trapped inside. He went back to rescue her.
Todoroki: And then he saved my life, too.
Sero: what lol
Uraraka: oh my gosh?????
Kaminari: ?????????
Ashido: ??????????
Iida: How? He was just a civilian!
Todoroki: uh
Todoroki: Science?
Sero: ………
Kaminari: …are you gonna expand on that more or
Todoroki: It was badass.--
Of course the hottest topic of gossip in the Class A group chat after a civilian saves Shouto's life is "Just who was that little green dude and why is Todoroki so fixated on him?" As his loyal former classmates, they cannot rest until they find out.
[Or: Todoroki's POV during the events of "Thanks for Saving Me", uncovered through texts with friends.]

Summary
"The Green is supposed to be extinct," Todoroki said. "It has been for years. Nobody will ever suspect it's here if we don't tell them."
They both looked into the cage, at the mold named Izuku.
"Yeah," Bakugou said grimly, "with any luck it'll murder us long before they think to indict us for treason."
--
When Todoroki and Bakugou stumble upon the sole surviving remnant of the Green, a horrifying alien species humanity wiped out years before on the planet Midori-4, they're not sure what to do about it.
Todoroki wants to study it.
Bakugou wants to destroy it.
It wants to be their friend.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is a university sophomore, a fanboy, quirkless. On the list of things he is not: a hero.
That's why he's more surprised than anyone when he rescues Todoroki Shouto, his favorite pro hero, from a deadly villain attack. His actions fling him into the media spotlight, grabbing the attention of the entire country, including Todoroki himself. But Todoroki actually wants to get to know him past the headlines.
Izuku finds himself living a story straight out of a fairy tale, one where the mysterious, handsome prince is played by the real-life superhero he has always admired. But Izuku is convinced he's the ugly duckling, not the swan; could he ever be remarkable enough to get his happily ever after?

Summary
An anthology of myths, tales, and legends, focusing mainly on the royal kingdom of Corvus, home to Kageyama, the crown prince and eventual king; and the wretched world where Hinata was raised, the subterranean city of thieves, beggars, and outcasts, seething with discontent in the gutters below: the Kingdom of Crows.

Summary
It's funny how the right person at the wrong time can leave a mark so deep.
With Ethan sprawled like this, Chris can see the mess he’s made of his shoulder; the dents where his teeth had been, the smear of blood from where he’d cut him. It’s bruising already, and by this time tomorrow it’ll be fucking spectacular - anybody who looks at it will know exactly what it is, and what Ethan was doing when it happened.
They’ll look at it, and know that, even if only for a while, he was Chris’s.

Summary
"Gimli hadn't actually been sure if Legolas had ever, or could ever be in a bad mood. Since departing Rivendell he had witnessed the elf's smile and bright nature survive thunderstorms, hunger, heartache, and once even a deep slashing gouge across his stomach. But for some reason, this minor head wound and a shoulder injury had gotten the best of him? It didn't make sense."

Summary
Oliver doesn't know why he bothers anymore. He should just get two ice creams.
Well. He knows why he only gets one, still, but it's — he doesn't have a good reason.
He offers, every time — every time, I'm going to get a cone, he says, and d'you want one, Felix? he says. And it's always no or nah or I'm good, Ollie, thank you!
And every time. Every time, it comes to this: Oliver two licks into the ice cream that's been spiraled high into and on top of a sugar cone, and Felix looking over with hunger in his eyes.
