Summary
Kevin Day and Jean Moreau went from strangers, to enemies, to almost lovers, and back to strangers again.
But how can you be strangers with someone you know everything about?
or
I decided to sit down and write an analysis on the stages of Kevin and Jean’s relationship from the night they meet to Post Trojans, because really who doesn’t love complicated almost soulmates?

Or
I saw a tiktok that told you to imagine Andrew begging Betsy to re-medicate him so he could forget Neil and I ran with it.

Summary
Kevin Day may not care about his team to the extent that he shows up on movie nights with buckets of popcorn or helps his teammates “get the girl they’ve always dreamed about having”, but he does care in his own weird, little way. And maybe, just maybe, they care about him too.
Or
3 times Kevin protected one of the Foxes and the 1 time they returned the favor
Or
There’s not enough Kevin Day focused fics out there and I feel that is a crime, so I am here solely to amend that

Summary
Neil rounded the corner to the sight of Andrews fist clocking some stranger right in the cheek. For a moment Neil caught himself briefly questioning whether Andrew was in the right or if it was one of his unpredictable outbursts. However, one glance up immediately had Neil shooting that question in the head.
Andrews face was blank, which granted, was normal. His eyes, however, were shrouded. And not in that attractive: I'm a brooding boy with a tragic backstory. That was normal. This was something deeper. Something darker. Something almost… more real. It was that very look that had Neil drawing the man up by the collar of his shirt and railing his own fist into the man's nose, listening as a satisfying crack reverberated through the bathroom.
---
There's not enough Andrew Minyard angst on this sight so I took it into my own hands. Please give it a chance

Summary
Kenma liked games. They were straightforward. The objective made sense. Defeat the animated bad-guy. Win the race. Even just as simple as “survive to the end”. Kenma liked the simplicity of it all. He liked that he always knew what to do. People weren’t that simple. He never knew what their object was. He never knew what his objective was. People were complex. They were deceitful. He couldn’t just press X to slay them with a sword. He couldn’t move a joystick and run away from them. He was forced to sit there and pull teeth trying to understand what they wanted.
There was a single exception to this rule that came in the form of one Kuroo Tetsurou.

Summary
It's pretty convenient that Dazai lends Atsushi his coat when he's paired up with Akutagawa. It's pretty convenient that it's cold as hell.
Akutagawa gets his first kiss. Rashomon is warm. Atsushi acts like a cat.

Summary
“Shut up!” Inosuke wants to scream, but then he realises Tanjirou absolutely must not wake up and settles for a death hiss, hands curling against his sides. Stupid thinking stupid foresight stupid— “I don’t think about those kinds of things! They’re a waste of time! And pack means family!"
“Well a pack doesn’t have to be blood-related, I don’t think,” Zenitsu flops onto the grass and stares at the sky. “I think having someone to love would be a very nice thing to have, you know. The whole—not being alone thing, not being given up on thing.”
(Or, Inosuke is special to Tanjirou. Tanjirou is special to Inosuke. They've really got to work on their communication.)

Summary
"If you're looking for Midnight-sensei, she already left." Shinsou Hitoshi spoke softly, couldn't keep eye contact, and looked like he was a few seconds away from collapsing into an exhausted pile caused by copious amounts of stress.
"No. You're Shinsou Hitoshi." Shouta didn't bother to phrase it as a question, but he was curious when the kid tensed as if expecting a fight or a scolding. "Do you know who I am?"
Shinsou glanced around as if expecting a trick, the kid finally meeting his eyes for a quick moment, "You're Eraserhead." Huh. Kid knew his heroes, then. "And you're here to tell me what I'm in trouble for."
"Who says you're in trouble?" Shouta had seen Shinsou's school file and it certainly hadn't been light, but considering his quirk and background, he wouldn't be surprised if more than half of those 'fights' had been started by others and then blamed on him.
"Because you're a teacher for the hero course, sir, and the only reason for a teacher from Class 1-A to be talking to me is if I'm in trouble." What a depressing and sarcastically polite kid.
"Do you still want to be a hero?"

Summary
“See? That’s what I mean! You know I’m just super cuddly and like making people feel good and
sometimes it doesn’t bother you but sometimes you really shrug me off and you’ve got such an angry
face when you do and...”“I don’t fucking hate it,” Bakugo said, not sure why his cheeks were growing warmer. He didn’t
know how to phrase it, why seeing Kirishima without that constant smile in his eyes made him want to
do everything to bring it back. “I just ‐ fucking ‐ don’t know it’s you sometimes, that’s all.”--
In which Bakugo hates physical contact with everyone but Kirishima, and the two implement a system to let Bakugo know it's Kirishima touching him if he comes up behind him or otherwise can't see him so Bakugo doesn't instinctively shrug him off.

Summary
Jug sighed and turned to leave. “Forget it. I’m fine, Archie.”
He had barely made it several feet before Archie gripped his shirt and swung him around hard, until it was Archie looming in front of Jug like a monolith, pressing him up against the wall. The noticeboard he crashed into made a loud creaking noise. It was most uncomfortable. Jug could feel several thumbtacks digging into the small of his back.
“What do I care?” Archie asked, and now it is he who has the dangerous edge to his voice. Oh, how the tables have turned. “Why do you have to always be so-”
“So what?” Jughead demanded. “Alone? Moody-”
