Summary
In a world where heroes wear masks more for hiding than protecting, Midoriya Izuku—quirkless, fifteen, and invisible—wields the only thing he has left: the truth. Under the pseudonym HaVer, he becomes an anonymous info broker, exposing cracks in hero society that no one else wants to see. He never wanted to be a vigilante. He just got tired of pretending the system wasn’t already broken.
But truth, as it turns out, doesn’t punch nearly as hard as lies.
In the war between truth and lies, truth is the ninety-pound, scrawny, pasty-white juvie, while lies are drunken, belligerent scumball jocks who bully and bitch-slap truth at every opportunity. Admittedly, Bakugo Katsuki could not be officially considered a jock—he doesn’t even play a sport—but if emotionally suplexing his peers were an Olympic event, he’d have gold. And Izuku? He’s been in a one-sided cage match since preschool.
When a shadowy contact resurfaces with proof of hero corruption and a new bad villain arrives on the horizon, Izuku is forced to choose between silence and survival—or lighting the match that could burn the whole system down.Either way, he knows one thing for sure:
The heroes won’t save him.
Not this time.

Summary
'Whenever happiness is destroyed, there's always. . . the smell of blood.'
The deja vu with these words flowed through his mind at that moment. This time though there wasn't just the stench of blood but a heavy melancholy regret as well. He would have been blind not to notice her pain as she realized what she had done. Though after everything they went through to keep this from happening he can't be mad at her, she's his little sister. She's all he has left, how could he ever be mad at her. No, he couldn't be mad at Nezuko, but he surely was pissed at what this meant for their future.

Summary
When Xie Lian awoke, he couldn't speak, and his vision was a blur of colors and light. For the first time in who knows how long, he felt the plush softness of a bed beneath him, not the hard, rotting wood of the coffin. And... Who was this man in red taking care of him?
Classic "What if Xie Lian was saved from being buried alive for a hundred years?"

Summary
Maomao is given as a concubine to the Moon Prince in an attempt to control Lakan. Jinshi is against the idea of trapping a young woman in the rear palace for her father’s poor attitude and tries his best to accommodate her as both the palace manager and as the Moon Prince. But as time drags on, he falls in love with his odd concubine and his double life poses many issues.
Maomao never expected to be part of palace life and finds it rather difficult to adapt to. That being said, she loves the new access to overflowing ingredients the palace offers, especially the extremely rare ones the Moon Prince has taken to giving her as presents. If only the meddlesome eunuch would leave her alone, he’s making things far too complicated for her liking.
(Mostly follows canon, but with Maomao as the Imperial Brother’s concubine)

Summary
Todoroki considered, then sighed. "Do you think we'll ever be able to do this on our own?"
"Do what, express anger normally in a healthy-ass manner or some shit that's not either super repressed or extremely violent?" Bakugou glowered at him, arms crossed.
"Yes."
"No."
---
In which Bakugou becomes Todoroki's anger translator and vice versa

Summary
Kurapika died on the Black Whale and woke in the Lukso forest, years before the massacre. His clan was alive. His chains were intact. And somewhere in the smog-choked ruins of Meteor City, the boy who would become the Phantom Troupe's leader was reading a book about the Scarlet Eyes and wondering what they were worth.
If I cannot kill the monster, Kurapika thought, I will have to love it into something else.
Kurapika closed his eyes. Chrollo's fingers were touching his face. His fingertips were cold. Kurapika could feel the faint calluses on Chrollo's index finger and thumb, from holding books, he realised. From turning pages by candlelight.
He leaned in.
The kiss was clumsy. Chrollo tilted his head the wrong way, their noses brushing awkwardly. He made a small, frustrated sound against Kurapika's mouth and adjusted, and the second attempt was better, softer, his lips parting on an inhale like he was surprised this was allowed.
He told himself it was strategy. He kept telling himself that long after strategy stopped being a convincing explanation.
