    Summary

    (But I don't want to leave it that way.)

    -

    "What if we're not late bloomers?" Deku had asked him once when they were very young. “What if we don’t get our quirks? What if our quirks never come for our whole lives?”

    Katsuki hadn't been able to answer, then. All he'd known was that they'd be able to do anything together, even if the hero business tried to spit them out just because they were missing bits and pieces. That was until Deku'd told him the truth, anyway. That he'd been hiding a quirk for ten years and Katsuki had just been stupid and trusting.

    He doesn't get into UA. Deku leaves him behind and lives the dream alone. Katsuki picks up modelling and turns out to be surprisingly good at it, and after a while he thinks maybe he can make peace with never becoming a hero. This ain't a bad life, after all. There are stalkers and endless reporters but maybe he can make this work.

    For all of six years, anyway. Then he figures out his new neighbour has green eyes and cute freckles. And then, Katsuki thinks, maybe god hates him.

    Summary

    In the end, it's Clerk Carmine who catches him.
    It’s not like Lucy Gray hadn’t known first, of course she had. Lucy Gray knows just about everything there is that's worth knowing and then some, but it’s Clerk Carmine who actually sees it.

    (Alternatively Titled: I think about CC being Billy Taupe's little brother too much at all times.)

    Summary

    He opens his eyes in the dim light. The sun hasn’t risen yet, but Sejanus is kneeling at his bedside, his wide brown eyes urgent and imploring. A muddied mix of affection and annoyance washes over him. Can’t Sejanus let him sleep for a few more minutes? Doesn’t he know Coriolanus hasn’t been sleeping well?

    “Coryo, you have to go now. Lucy Gray is waiting for you.”

    It all comes rushing back to him. The jabberjay. The confession. The guns. The murders. Lucy Gray, their plan to run away. The hanging tree — the hanging — Sejanus.

    Sejanus.

    Coriolanus killed his best friend. Sejanus haunts him until the day he dies.

    Summary

    This is what Coriolanus needs, what he’s missing in his songbird. Sejanus’s adoration is a balm, soothing the need for recognition that has clawed at him since leaving the Capitol, easing the gnawing injustice of being treated as ordinary. Yes, it seems natural that Sejanus Plinth ought to be his.

    (In which Coriolanus’s possessive nature expands to enwrap his trusting, foolish friend.)
