    Summary

    “There are treasures I admire, relics from centuries I haven’t been alive to witness, yet are held here in this house of mine. Paintings-”

    Zhongli starts, footsteps light to Childe.

    “Statues, books,” Zhongli stops by Childe’s head, exposing his cloudy eyes, “but you, my dear Childe, are the greatest treasure I have.”

    Summary

    The Stone Gryphon is a sprawling Spare Oom story of war, espionage, immoral acts done in service of moral ends, natural history, dinosaurs, Alice in Wonderland, cunning corvids, tequila, D-Day, theology, spirituality, love and sex. If the Dawn Treader can be on the wall of a spare bedroom in Impington, Narnia can be found in other places, too. The Friends of Narnia just have to learn where to look. And upon returning from Narnia, the Pevensies probably didn't just sit around waiting to die in a fiery train wreck.

    "No, no! The adventures first," said the Gryphon in an impatient tone: "explanations take such a dreadful time."
    L. Carroll, The Adventures of Alice In Wonderland

    "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
    Francis of Assisi

    "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
    "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
    "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
    "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of permadeath, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Summary

    After escaping All For One and the vault, Izuku has spent five years trying to outrun the people who would see him locked away for being quirkless...both from the government and his villainous father.

    However, everything changes when Izuku catches the attention of the Number One Hero and All Might's secretary, 'Toshinori Yagi.'

    Will he become the first quirkless hero, as he's always dreamed? Or will he spend his life locked away as a voiceless, quirkless pet? Either way, Izuku will not go down without a fight.

    Summary

    'You’ll be okay, Aizawa-san.’ Midoriya gives him a bright smile. ‘They said if there aren’t any complications, you should wake up in a few days.’

    Shouta is happy to hear it; it really is great news, but… His eyes linger on Midoriya. He’s been stuck here for a year. A year. And it could be many more. For all he knows, the kid’s in a vegetative state, and won’t ever wake up.

    ‘Will I remember anything?’

    Midoriya’s smile turns brittle. ‘...No.'

     

    ---

    After the USJ, Aizawa Shouta wakes up as a ghost in the hospital while his body is in a coma. He's greeted by another ghost who's been stuck in the same state for over a year, a bright, intelligent young boy named Midoriya Izuku...

    (In which Midoriya Izuku never met All Might and where one day, he finally gave in and jumped.)

    Summary

    When an apartment block collapses, Shouta expects a routine rescue operation. He does not expect to meet a blindingly intelligent 8 year-old Izuku on the worst day of his life. He certainly doesn't expect to take the kid home, call his estranged best friend in a panic because he doesn't know what fuck to do, and turn his life upside down in the space of a few hours.

    It's fine, though. He might be a mess, but he can keep one grade-schooler alive until social services sorts their shit. It's just temporary, he tells himself.

    Y'know, like a liar.

    The story of how one disaster man saves a little boy, and how the little boy saves him back.

    Summary

    (Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)

    Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”

    “Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”

    “Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”

    “I-I’m what?! W-wait!”

    tl;dr

    Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

    Summary

    Of course he knows he’s a pawn. He’s far too intelligent to not have figured that one out. But, still, he complies. He follows along because who else does he have? He’s abandoned, Quirkless, functionally useless to civilian society. At least this way he can be as close as possible to his childhood dreams of heroism.

    --

    Loyal asset of the Hero Public Safety Commission, Izuku Midoriya is ready for his next assignment. He was expecting to be up against powerful quirks, he was expecting to walk a fine line between the Commission and UA. Hell, he was even expecting the beady-eyed attention of Principal Nezu. The only thing no one was expecting - not the HPSC, not Nezu, and certainly not Izuku - was the wild and welcoming chaos of Hero Course Class 1A. Will they be enough to break Izuku out of his compliance?

    Summary

    “I don’t want to be alone anymore”

    Aizawa Shouta, Underground Pro-Hero Eraserhead, was no stranger to the darker parts of modern life; and although he had a reputation for placing logic above emotions, he knew he wasn’t heartless. After all, he vowed to help those none else could, or would. He vowed to help those who society had forgotten.
    It had just never been so literal before.

    Summary

    Aizawa is going to figure out a way to murder Nedzu after this. It doesn't matter that the three-foot rat is a super genius that knows all his weaknesses. He'll figure out a way. After all, if he wanted the students to learn about other countries hero communities, then Nedzu could have just asked All Might to talk about his time in the United States. But, no. He invited the worst showboater Aizawa has ever met to give lectures to both hero classes. It doesn't matter that the hero, Dragon, is the third best in all of Europe, he is still one of the most obnoxious people Aizawa has ever met. Dragon hides it well, but when even the problem child has issues with him its kind of obvious-

    Wait a minute. That can't be good.
