Midoriya Izuku always got cards up one sleeve and his heart on the other. [A collection of stories about a certain vigilante from perspectives of various characters. Stories are not in chronological order, but they happen in the same timeline/universe — all for you to piece together. Vigilante!Deku AU]

Midoriya Izuku woke up in a morgue. Who knew Kacchan's advise could be so useful? (Or: Midoriya Izuku is going to be a hero. He is going to die trying.) [IZUKU HAS A QUIRK AU/CANON DIVERGENCE/IZUKU CAN'T DIE]

Body is a body is a body, and hers is perfect. Constructed, furnished, man-made. Her skin is warm human and untouchable machine. She counts the ribs underneath her breasts with the gallows of her knives. And she is beautiful, for they tell her so.

The times people meet Dick Grayson. Not Robin, not Nightwing — just Dick. (Or: Dick Grayson is a hero, has always been and will always be, no matter what name he takes.)

"Told you he got that amnesia bullshit," Helen says. "He remembers jack shit." "Jack shit?" Luis turns to look at him with a newfound fascination. "Like, forreal? Your name and shit? Your ma? Mother Teresa? Nothing?" "Who the fuck is Mother Teresa?" (In which we witness a day in Ric Grayson's life after the bullet.)

"You know what," Jason says. "This is going to be a fucking disaster. Bruce can suck my dick." "Okay," Dick pauses. He has been driving for an hour, now. "Um, that's weird, dude." [In which the Bat Boys are having a weekend off at the Kent household in a babysitting gig.]

"What do you mean you have no quirk?" "Well," Red Robin says, a little confused by the question. "I mean that I have no quirk. None of us do." "Damn straight," Red Hood says. "You superpowered bitches ain't got nothing on me." [BNHA AU. Series of stories of the Bats screwing around in the hero world.]

"Well, well, well," Midnighter says. Him. "We meet again." "Unfortunately," Agent 37 says, cheerily, and throws him a roundhouse kick. "Must be fate," another kick, then a jab. Midnighter's left. He sees it all. "Gosh," Agent 37 wields his batons. "I sure hope not."

This isn't the most gruesome scene that Dick has ever seen. Not the worst thing he's ever seen. Not really. "Stay back," Robin says. "Can't contaminate the scene."

"Pray as much as you want, you poor, poor fucking thing," Nightwing says, fingers trembling and how easy, how easy it'd be — he knows how easily people die. A pull of a trigger. A snap of a rope. "Your soul is beyond saving." [Three hours until sunrise and Nightwing walks himself through a panic attack. Makes a call.]

They got, yet again, another kid in the Manor. A Talon, this time. A literal trained-assassin who isn't even wholly human, and who, just six months ago, had tried to kill Bruce himself. Jason had said, "you better not be making a mistake, Batman." Six months later, Dick — Dick, seriously, of all names — is still here. And worse, he has grown on them — like a fucking mold.

What is Todoroki Shouto? He is the crown prince, the heir of his father's Nation. He is an anomaly, the weapon of his father's ambition. He is a firebender. He is a waterbender. What he is not, however, is the avatar. Todoroki Shouto is not someone — something — that is supposed to exist. [the ten times Todoroki Shouto, crown prince of the Fire Nation encounters the Avatar.]

He is you, and you, he. He has your eyes (yours, jaded emerald, and his, wine red) and your hands (the same bloody ones) and your skin (and your heart).

Hijikata finds his roommate quite insufferable. [College AU/Roommate AU]

Because he will do whatever, he will give whatever it takes – a heart or two, gallons of gold and/or blood and/or bloodied gold, a fallen empire, a princess' broken heart, a whole goddamn country, a head or two – to see him, once, just once...
