Summary
Rudo gasped awake, and before he could even move, he knew. He couldn’t even think, he just felt it in his bones, heart, blood, soul, arms—
It was going to be a bad day.
OR:
Five times someone helped Rudo with his hands without needing to be asked, and one time Rudo finally asked for help.

Summary
“Gountess?” Rudo asked, half-expecting the all-consuming emptiness around them to swallow the word before it even reached the older boy in front of him.
The boy turned to face him, necklace swinging lightly over his shirt as he moved. Gear-patterned eyes met his own. “Yes, Rudo?”
Rudo hesitantly shuffled the few steps forward he needed to stand next to him. He needed to look up to meet Gountess’ eyes like this, but he didn’t mind. The endless white expanse seemed to eat everything around them. There was no echo to the words, nothing but absolute silence in their absence. Somehow, it was peaceful instead of alarming.
“Does it ever stop hurting?”

Summary
“You didn’t have any holidays like this up there?” Riyo asked him, propping an elbow up on the table and leaning her face on her palm, facing him. She pointed straight up with her other hand, clearly referring to the Sphere.
“Nothing like this,” Rudo said emphatically, gesturing vaguely even though this room wasn’t decorated like the mess hall or the town. They’d get the point. “Nothing that I’ve seen with decorations like you guys have here. Nothing so…colorful. And cheerful. Everyone out there today looked so… actually happy.”
Rudo gets introduced to a Ground holiday. It is entirely different to what the word holiday has meant to him all his life.

Summary
I don't want to push Sphereite culture on them, Rudo thought. He didn't want to spread that kind of poison on the people who had been so kind to him.
So it stayed locked up in the cage he made for it, where everything he brought with him from the Sphere could only ever eat away at his own insides.
No matter how much it hurt.
Or: This story is about the flowers. It was also never about the flowers.

Summary
The news headlines featured their faces for weeks after their disappearance. To Izuku, it was a slap to the face that he knew a child at his age back then should never have received. He knew Kacchan got it too.
It's been eight long years. The heroes never came for them, and they probably never would.
And then the universe decided another slap to the face was in order.
(Or, Izuku and Katsuki are taken for their quirks at a young age, and now they're tasked with a mission that they don't know they'll be strong enough to see through.)

Summary
The cultural learning curve, and the processing of...all of it.
It’s a learning process, trying to acclimate to the Ground’s customs when all Rudo has ever known is the culture in the sky. It’s a learning process the other way around, too. The Cleaners want to know about him as much as he them.
It’s also a learning process trying to navigate it all without Regto. Somehow, the memories of his dad are still everywhere, even now. All he can ever do now is hold on to them and try to stay afloat.

Summary
Ed let out a heavy breath from his nose, his stomach shivered with a sense of ease, "Thanks for today, Ling." His words came out heavy—and muffled—as he felt a wave of exhaustion sweep over his mind. He yawned, earning a laugh from Ling.
"Of course. Warn me the next time you visit, I'll try to prepare something extra special." A hand tangled in with his golden hair, twirling strands playfully. Ed could picture the light smile on Ling's face and it warmed any lingering cold in his heart. "Xing will always have its arms open to you, you know that, right?" Unfrozen, his heart jumped with newfound energy, but his mind was still coaxing him to sleep.
or
Ed always finds himself coming back to Xing, with or without Ling's request, finding out that Ling is the person he considers safe.

Summary
(For Edling Week 2026 Day 5: Tradition, Hands)
“You have a long life-line,” Edward says, hushed, tracing the long crease in the middle of Ling’s palm.
He stares for too long at those eyes, sifting through them, but not for answers. He’s looking for nuggets of pyrite, little pieces of deception or faux affection. He finds nothing but pure, perfect gold. “What?”
“Your hands.” Turning Ling’s hand around so he can see, he runs a finger down the center line. “Your life-line is long. Longer than most people’s.”
“Life-line?”
or
Edward (almost) crashes Ling’s enthronement, and then does a little playground palmistry.

Summary
He walked the same stone streets meant only for those worthy. Today, Rudo was worthy and walked where he pleased. His feet blessed the broken path he stepped on, footsteps echoing lightly as he left his print in the ashes beneath. The world stretched wide around him, unfamiliar streets spreading out before him as he moved deeper, farther than he had ever allowed himself to go before. He did not hesitate, as if he knew exactly where he was going. Or... something inside him did.

Rudo has a strange dream about the Sphere.Bookmarked by Alstroemica

Summary
A strange thrum settled deep in his bones, vibrating slowly up his spine and spreading through his chest like a quiet pulse. His eyelids grew heavy, but Rudo forced them open again, shaking his head sharply in an attempt to clear the fog creeping through his mind. His heart, which had been pounding wildly from the struggle, began to slow.
------
Zanka and Rudo are sent out on an errand together, that neither of them wants to do. During that time, they encounter a mysterious Giver who can put people into a state of sleep.
