Summary
Shouto doesn't need a quirk to be a hero, and as far as he's concerned, he doesn't need anyone's help, either.
Midoriya Izuku might just change his mind.

Summary
“We save whoever we can,” Saltbeard had said on the television. The dwarf's face had been tight with frustrated strain, his weathered face lined with grief. “And if that’s not everyone, we get up the next morning and do our damn best to make it so that next time, it will be.”
Spellbound, Hamid had nodded along. Then he’d run into his bedroom to change into something presentable. An hour later, he’d walked into the meritocratic offices and asked how one applied to become a hero.
***
After months of training, Hamid has learned to control his superpowers, and hardly ever grows scales without meaning to. But when his mentor and their handler go missing on the morning of his debut, Hamid and his team are sent to investigate. As the team uncovers a plot that may shake the foundations of hero society, Hamid struggles to believe not only in the Meritocracy, but in himself.

Summary
Jon is not an idiot. Contrary to what some of the people who love him might believe, he’s not even entirely oblivious to social cues, though he’ll admit they elude him perhaps more often than is standard.
All of this to say that in the week following their escape from the Lonely, as Martin graduates from shy smiling glances and tentative clutching of clammy hands to full-bellied laughter and warm, steady embraces, Jon is fully capable of figuring out where things are going.
***
Some thoughts about kissing and self-sacrifice.

Summary
Across the water, climbing up the other side of the slope, was a figure she recognized as Rand al’Thor. He stood out, of course—taller than any wetlander, with the fire-red hair of an Aiel, but even if he had been dressed in cadin’sor and not shirt and trousers, he would not have known how to become part of the Threefold Land. Out of his gaudy red coat, though, he could almost pass for a true Aiel—not a warrior, not dressed like that, but perhaps a blacksmith. His shoulders were nearly broad enough.

Summary
"Bet you five quid that Flesh domain we're avoiding wouldn't have been as gross as this," Martin grumbles, wrenching his feet out of the oozing black mud trying to swallow him.
Jon pauses up ahead, not even out of breath; the ground isn't trying to eat him. Maybe, like Helen, it thinks the smug little bastard would give it indigestion.
"I'd say I'd feel too bad to take your money," he says, tone playfully superior, "but honestly it isn't as though it would be much of a loss nowadays."
***
It may be the end times, but it's still a road trip of sorts, right? So, in grand tradition, Jon and Martin make up silly games to entertain themselves.

Bookmarker's Notes
Wilf meets Eleven, and has a thoughtful conversation with him. One of the best examinations of Eleven and Ten and the implications of regeneration that I've seen, and of what it means to be the Doctor.

Summary
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.

Summary
When Shane was freshly sixteen, Yuna came home to find him freaking out by himself at the kitchen island.
He was perched on one of the bar stools with his entire torso slumped across the counter and his arms extended in front of him, hands balled into fists on the granite. His head was buried between his shoulders and he didn’t sound like he was breathing.
Yuna didn’t say anything for a solid thirty seconds. Alarms blaring in her head, she silently tossed her purse to the side and beelined for her son with her hands out to comfort him.
---
Or: Five times Yuna suspected Shane was gay, and the one time she finally found the right words to say.

Summary
Sukuna’s being pretty quiet right now, so Yuuji can almost pretend he’s by himself. He’s sprawled on his back in his new bed at Jujutsu Tech, staring at a smudge on the ceiling. There’s a demon in his head and the uneasy aftermath of a cursed finger in his stomach. It’s the perfect time to break down, and he has more reasons to cry than he’s ever had in his life, so everything should be hitting him all at once.
Except it isn’t.
