    Summary

    "Are you happy now, that he's on the ground
    And do you realize the words you say make bruises that don't fade away
    Are you happy now, that you've brought him down
    And he's thinking that he won't fit in
    'Cause you said something's wrong with him
    Are you happy now?"
    Are You Happy Now by Meg and Liz
    ---

    Percy is near his breaking point.

    He just can't do it anymore. It's become too much. One night, when he attempts to jump off the Astronomy Tower, he's pulled back at the last second by the last person he ever thought would be there.

    ~~

    Oliver Wood never bothered to get to know his dormmate. They'd essentially lived separate lives. Now he felt guilty. Guilty for treating him like he wasn't there. guilty for not recognizing the signs.

    He decides he wants to get to know Percy Weasley. And that year, the boys develop a deep friendship. Over the course of that year, Percy feels a sense of belonging. he feels love and acceptance for who he really is.

    “I know.”

    “But then why –”

    “Just drop it, Alador.”

    Summary

    To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

    Summary

    As he falls, he lets himself think about it. He lets himself think that if he wakes up, if things go back again, it means that he does have a quirk. It means he really can take a swan dive off a roof and hope for better luck in his next life. It means that all along, he’s been useless and worthless because he hasn’t died yet.

    He hits the ground.

    And then he opens his eyes.

    (vigilante!izuku AU where izuku has a quirk that rewinds time when he dies)
    (hiatus! will be eventually adapted into an original work. for updates/more information, my twitter is nauticalwarri0r)
