Summary
Tony's abrasiveness ruffles feathers; he knows this. But the other Avengers still only seem to treat him well when he's been hurt in the line of duty. If bleeding is all he needs to do, what's another injury, really? Too bad that comes across as his being a reckless liability.
"Was this what family actually meant?
"With his good hand, he clutched his broken arm to his chest like it was something precious. Maybe this was the heart-proof they needed. Maybe that was what he had been doing wrong up until now. More than likely it was only a piece; systems as complex as human relationships always relied on multiple factors. If through nothing else, he'd learned that while building Jarvis. Trial and error had taught him that. But even so, sometimes, after a certain level of complexity, a butterfly can flutter its wings in a distant country and touch everything. Change everything."

"Tony started struggling in earnest the moment they dragged him, naked, into the room and he saw the cross laid out on the ground."

Summary
Sam gets carsick. He hasn't “grown out of it,” as his dad insisted he would. He just stopped mentioning it.
Five times it goes ignored. Plus one time it doesn't.

Summary
Tag to Season 8 finale. Dean talks to an unconscious Sam.
"He couldn't tear his gaze off his little brother lying in that bed. To look away meant he might disappear; he might up and dissolve in all the ways that mattered."

Summary
Izuku survived All For One.
He didn't seem particularly happy about it.
Shōta expected pain. He expected fear, anger, grief. Anything that came with waking up in a hospital and realizing the Quirk you'd spent years destroying yourself for was gone.
He didn't expect an apology.
He didn't expect Izuku to look at him like surviving was something he needed to be forgiven for.
And he definitely didn't expect Toshinori to walk into the room and prove exactly who taught him that.
One For All was gone. Shōta could live with that.
What he couldn't live with was the realization that somewhere along the way, the Symbol of Peace convinced a Quirkless kid that becoming a hero meant being willing to die.
Shōta intended to correct that mistake.

“Should’ve what?”
“I should’ve died.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Insightful! And much needed. From the A/N:
“Do you believe your life matters, and you’re consciously choosing to risk it for people you love?
“Or do you believe your life only matters for as long as you’re useful?
“Because those are not the same choice.”
-
“If civilization has reached a point where its continued existence depends upon one sixteen-year-old boy successfully protecting a Quirk—or dying before someone can take it from him—then civilization has a catastrophic problem.
“But that problem does not become Izuku’s responsibility simply because everyone else failed to create another solution.
“So when Toshinori says: ‘There may not be another way!’
“Shōta’s answer is: ‘Then we fucking make one!’”

Bookmarker's Notes
Meanwhile, Fuyumi again snuggles up in the collar of her down jacket as she sees them off, takes Izuku’s hand, and says — and Katsuki swears he doesn’t care at all about this. He even sits in the car and juts out his lower lip in a pout to look as disinterested and unaffected as possible — “Thank you for being Shouto’s friend.”
And Katsuki looks at her smile and Izuku’s blushing cheeks and their intertwined hands and Todoroki’s cheerfully embarrassed face, and realizes like the stupid child he knows he is:
I want what I don’t deserve.
-
Dysfunctional and insecure tryhard Katsuki Bakugo throws his own stupid baka life into disarray when he attempts a misguided radical act of compassion: ask Shoto Todoroki's sister, Fuyumi Todoroki, out on a date.

Summary
“B-but,” Izuku starts.
Katsuki growls. “Want me to stop?!” It’s a threat.
Izuku’s eyes widen before sliding bashfully to the side. His cheeks light up underneath his freckles. He won’t even say one way or another. Typical. Katsuki’s doing this to him and he won’t even go through the trouble of a meaningful acknowledgement.
No wonder Katsuki hates him sometimes.
“HAH?!” Katsuki demands.
Izuku wiggles. “I just think you should, um”—
I’m tryin’a play with you, you stupid nerd, Katsuki thinks. Don’t dare open your mouth and pretend you’re in control.
Katsuki glares down into Izuku’s face. Izuku hides self-consciously. Good. Katsuki hopes he feels tiny; like he’s at Katsuki’s mercy. Like he’s Katsuki’s little toy to play with. Izuku should be thrilled to be Katsuki’s toy. Katsuki wants to hear him admit he loves being Katsuki’s plaything.
After all, he’s Katsuki’s only little toy. He’s the only one he wants to — has ever wanted to — play with.

Summary
“I can move faster n’ you,” says Kacchan, suddenly more like Izuku remembers him acting throughout the rest of their lives, except still so soft and quiet. The dissonance between his words and tone makes Izuku dizzy.
“Even without Gearshift’s help,” continues Kacchan. “Even if you used Gearshift.”
His eyelashes cast a barely-there shadow as he spreads Izuku’s hand over his cheek, and then parts his lips just barely around the pad of Izuku’s thumb when it swipes against them again in its uncoordinated pliability. Kacchan’s fingers fit around the back of Izuku’s hand to hold it there, and he kisses his thumbpad again.
And again. Izuku can feel his own heartbeat in his ears.
“Ain’t gonna say nothin’ to that?”
"U-uh," stutters Izuku.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has been pretending most of his life. It's pretty successful, until he takes on a persona that is too different from the real him. The mask could only stay on for so long, and it choose an inopportune time to break.
