    Summary

    Something is very wrong in Hallownest.

    The Hollow Knight wakes up outside the Temple of the Black Egg. Hornet feels a shift in the kingdom from all the way in Greenpath. Together, the two of them discover the sacrifices each has made—and the grief neither one of them was allowed to feel.

    Hollow survives the Hollow Knight ending, though severely wounded and close to death. Against her better judgement, Hornet takes them under her care. Along the way, Hollow begins to acknowledge their emotions, and Hornet slowly discovers she's been lied to about the true nature of Vessels.

    You'll have to wait quite some chapters before there's even a smidge of fluff here, but it is SO worth it.

    Featuring: Hornet learning to be a good sister to the one she was taught to treat as a machine, the failed vessel making peace with their sentience and learning to live and Quirrel finding a new purpose among two broken half-gods.

    Summary

    When his father and Tomura start planning the USJ attack, Izuku makes a plan of his own. It’s simple, only four steps:

    1. Steal Eraserhead’s quirk
    2. Use it to kill All for One
    3. Give Erasure back, hopefully
    4. Go to jail, probably

    He’s prepared for the plan to fail at any time, but surprisingly, it’s not until step 4 that things fall through.

    Izuku has inherited a deathly combination of AFO and his mother's quirk. Giving up his dream of being a hero before it can even truly flourish, he'll become one anyway as he's forced to face a more complex trolley situation regarding the life of his beloved (thought villanous) family and countless innocent people. The choices, unfortunatedly, do not get any easier from there.

    Featuring: dadzawa (and dadmic), literally EVERY single 1-A student having lots development, Bakugo being a complex character and a traumatised, distrustfull and somewhat bitter Midoriya who's literally just trying his best.

    I'm amazed that they were able to tell such a complex story in a social media/chat fic format.

    If you like analyst!Izuku and a a in-depht critique of the Hero Industry you'll absolutely love this. + Denki/Toga being unnexpectedly cute, specially for Denki's classmates.

    Summary

    Hal finds himself stranded aboard a certain meteor, impact-bound for Houston, Texas circa 1995. And everything spirals out from there.

    Because sometimes, when a system seems to be just short of defunct, all that is required is to take a step back and reevaluate the materials at hand and redistribute your available resources.

    And so, with birth comes a countdown on a cycle that begins as it ends: In the red.

    Hal raises Dave (and is better at it than Bro). Lots of character study, Hal being in the spotlight and brotherly bonding.
