Summary
Izuku doesn’t want to learn about Todoroki through his scars. He doesn’t want explanations for broken skin or hurried reasons why Izuku shouldn’t care. He didn’t want to watch that bitter hand go to Todoroki’s left eye before the sports festival. For that mark to be the only reason he feels he knows anything about his friend at all.
Friend. Is that the right word? Izuku will try others on his tongue, words that feel more real. But for now, there is this: the history etched on Todoroki’s body and an uncertain future.
--
5 times Todoroki tried to hide his scars and 1 time Midoriya made him tell
(but this was only the beginning)

Summary
The year is 3030. The Fourth Succession War has ended. Peace, or what counts as peace in the never ending border skirmishes, pirate raids and the slow burning dirty wars has returned to the Inner Sphere. To the Great Houses and the Nobility, its a time to plot and scheme in the Great Game of interstellar politics. To MechWarriors it is a time in which to prove themselves on the battlefield, in the name of duty and the state. To Mercenary Companies like Ruby's Rangers and Cuirassiers d'Arc, its pay day.

Summary
(AU, trope subversion.) Weiss expected some culture clash when she went to Beacon. She knew that less-civilized kingdoms wouldn’t share Atlas’ perfectly reasonable positions on matters like, say, soulmates.
But that was no excuse for Ruby to be making *that* face at her.

Summary
Over the course of one week, Midoriya Izuku sees his childhood friend turned bully face consequences for his actions, gets appreciated for his skills, acquires a boyfriend that sits right in front of him, realizes that his grumpy homeroom teacher is actually on his side, and tells Aizawa Shouta the truth about One for All.
All of that information, however? It's happening in the background. Follow our hero: Aizawa Shouta aka Eraserhead. Over the course of the same week, Aizawa looks into his Problem Child and his many contradictions in order to not see Midoriya Izuku and Bakugou Katsuki paired together for their upcoming final exam.
During this time, Aizawa learns things he should have known from the start, talks to a lot of people, drinks so much hot chocolate, loves his husband, feeds his cat, gets a shocking six hours of sleep, reflects on his past, and learns the truth about a legend passed through underground heroics for decades.

Summary
“It’s not that bad,” Izuku says. “You get used to it after awhile.”
The room goes so quiet he can hear Kaminari and Sero playing video games two doors down, and very quickly he realizes his mistake.
“Deku-kun,” Uraraka starts slowly, like maybe she didn’t hear him right. “Did someone...did someone tell you to kill yourself?”
(Or: Izuku's friends find out something about his past and know better than to leave it alone.)// Podfic now available in beginning notes!
