Summary
What feels like a lightning bolt lances through his temples and Katsuki almost doubles over from the pain. Nausea roils faintly in the pit of his stomach.
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
He should’ve known. Should’ve recognised what an aura felt like.
Katsuki’s used to headaches. He can handle a headache.
But he hasn't had a migraine in YEARS.
Bakugou Katsuki is a revered Pro Hero. A goddamn adult. Most importantly, he's engaged to the manly, compassionate love of his life, for whom he has organised the surprise party to end all surprise parties.
He isn't about to let an unexpected migraine derail his plans. He can do this.
(Right?)

Summary
Katsuki feels it. Something he hasn’t felt for a long, long time.
(Something he thought he’d lost).
His taste buds, revelling. His stomach, clamouring. His heart, warming.
Slowly, carefully, as if in a stupor, Katsuki has another spoonful.
There it is again.
Contentment. Enrichment.
Pure, honest satisfaction.
Following a disappointing meal at a high-end restaurant, disillusioned young food critic Bakugou Katsuki stumbles upon an Indian eatery in the neon-soaked back alleys of Tokyo. When he tastes the humble redheaded chef's authentic home recipes, Katsuki finds himself reclaiming something he'd thought long lost.
OR: Katsuki and Eijirou share stories, memories and something deeper- one meal at a time.

Summary
“What?” he says. “Why’re you looking at me like that?”
Wordlessly, Bakugou raises his right arm. Eijirou’s left arm rises with it.
Eijirou gapes at their conjoined appendages. How their limbs firmly connect from the elbow onwards, their hands clasping and fingers twining together firmly.
He tries to pull his hand free. It doesn’t budge.
He tries to wiggle his fingers loose. They don’t move an inch.
The dots connect.
OR: an unfortunate quirk incident forces Eijirou to face up to his feelings (in more ways than one).

Summary
“Keith…” He manages to croak out. Lance tries sitting up, but everything hurts and his head is spinning, “You found me.”
“What were you doing facing a horde of black Bokoblins?!” Keith yells, obviously pissed out of his fucking mind.

Summary
"Lance summoned his Bayard.
Aim. Breathe. Shoot.
The resounding shot echoed in his ears. Except it wasn’t from his gun.
Lance’s legs gave out before he even realized what’d happened. He’d been shot. Square in his right ass cheek."
...
Lance McClain, Blue Paladin and Red Lion Pilot, has survived many trials out in space: Strenuous battles, relentless pining over Keith Kogane, being shot in truly embarrassing places ... but when he ends up on a solo mission it may prove to be his hardest challenge yet. Especially since he's stuck on a planet that doesn't even like Voltron. But it can't be any harder than trying to reconnect with Keith (who's been extra closed off since his returned from the Quantum Abyss), can it?
What results is many laughs ... and many tears.

Summary
He winces. This one is…bad. He’s reminded, painfully, of the first time he ever witnessed Lance have an episode, hunched over a toilet bowl and shaking so bad Keith had been convinced he was seizing. The then-Blue Paladin had begged him, in between gags and heaves, not to tell anyone. Keith, who had only really known him for six months, six months of near-constant arguing broken up only by rare moments of true teamwork, who had barely considered them friends, had already been halfway out the door, Coran’s name on his tongue.
Keith had been scared shitless. He didn’t know what was wrong, but he knew enough to know that it was serious, that Lance was in real danger. His mind flashed to poisoning from a backstabbing ally, alien sickness a human immune system couldn’t fight off. A million different worst-case scenarios had rushed through his head, making Keith want to throw up himself.
But the terror in Lance’s eyes had scared him a thousand times more than whatever was wrong with him. So he had swallowed his fear, then, and kept his mouth shut, placing a tentative hand on Lance’s back as he vomited and carefully watched the door.

Summary
Fushiguro Megumi is a poacher; a lethally trained hunter working to capture the last dregs of humanity to feed his vampiric clients and keep his sister safe. Megumi assumes that he will be hunting down his own kind for the end of his days until coven leader, Mahito, makes him an offer he can't refuse:
A man named Itadori Yuuji has fled the chains of the coven to try and disappear into the wilds of Japan, stealing an important vampiric relic in his escape. Megumi must find Itadori and return him to the coven alive, using whatever means necessary to gain his trust. Should Megumi fulfill their contract, he and his sister will receive full immunity from vampire-kind as they walk away from their dealings. One final contract.
But when Megumi does make contact with Itadori, he finds that doing his job comes with more complications than expected.
