    Summary

    His heart swelled as the letters filled out, and he was sure. He was so sure. He held his breath as color bled into the last gap.

    He felt like someone had reached into his chest and crushed his heart with their bare hands.

    Kacchan wasn’t his soulmate. By some ugly twist of fate, it was someone whose name was unfairly close—just a letter apart. It was the last letter to bleed into his skin, and it was the only letter he wanted to scrape away.

    -or-

    Izuku's soulmate isn't who he expects. It isn't who he wants. He'd rather be alone than be with anyone else. Luckily, he's patient.

    Summary

    Within seconds, a librarian—decked out in armor and sword drawn—appeared from the depths of the stacks. "What have you done?" she cried.

    Eijirou, a bit of a brute by instinct though he was a kitten by nature, had only seen a drawn sword—quickly drawing his own. She, of course, interpreted this as a threat—both to the library and to herself—and attacked.

    "You have defiled the library!" she screeched.

    -or-

    The Dekusquad is trying to get information/accommodation/supplies. But, they're partnering with the Bakusquad for this quest, and unfortunately...they get into brawls wherever they go.

    Summary

    Xaden Riorson is aware that time is slipping through his fingers. Monsters older than the very land they walk on are rising, stronger than ever, and he knows he’s only half of the key needed to stop them. The clock is ticking. They don’t have the luxury of waiting. The other half of the key must be found before it’s too late.

    Enters Violet Sorrengail. The youngest daughter of the woman who’s responsible for destroying everything Xaden holds dear. She may be small, fragile even, but her reckless, stubborn nature makes her an unpredictable force.

    Trust isn’t something they can afford, but maybe, it’s the only thing that could save them all.

    Summary

    Any time Bodhi has to face the memories of his small hometown, Aretia, Tennessee, it’s painful. But after moving LA just over a year ago, he’s found a new home: at the Pink Pony Club.

    As a performer at the club, he can be whoever he wants to be. He can be cool. He can be sexy. He can be expressive. He can even be himself.

    Life in LA is better than he ever could have imagined. His new friends love and accept him for who he is, in a way his friends and family back home never could. He gets to dance without anyone judging him.

    And tonight, he’s going to get what he wants most of all: the attention of the man at the front-left table who comes to all his shows, the one with the beautiful eyes. He doesn’t even know the man’s name yet, but Bodhi’s determined to meet him at last.

    Because no matter what Mama or God may think, he is Bodhi Durran, and he is fucking beautiful.

    Note: While I consider this to be a hopeful fic about Bodhi being comfortable in his own skin, it includes some difficult themes from Bodhi's past including religion, homophobia, and being outed before he was ready.

    Summary

    I am still terrified to cross the parapet, just as scared as I was the day the General sat me down to tell me about my future. But if fear had an enemy, it would be focus. And I have been nothing but focused since the day I found my father’s letter. My single-minded sense of purpose saves me from what I’m sure would have been months of resenting my training and my mother and my traitorous body. There is no room for fear or resentment while I am carrying my father’s will with me in every step.
