    Summary

    If he were just like Lan Wangji, Jiang Cheng could dismiss the nagging voice in his head that said he’s family, and you have close to nothing left. Jiang Cheng could have left the night hunt with the unanimous truth about Lan Sizhui: he wasn’t his family. He wasn’t like Wei Wuxian, he was moulded and shaped by Lan education to be the same stuffy, emotionless, powerhouse of a teenager Lan Wangji once was. He was just some kid, some future Lan leader, an heir, more Lan Wangji’s than Wei Wuxian’s, whatever the nature of their relationship may be.
    But Lan Wangji would not have thrown himself in front of that sword. Lan Wangji would have never bled out on the floor to save Jiang Cheng from the imminent threat of death. Never in a million years would he do something as reckless and self-sacrificial.

    That was Wei Wuxian, through and through. Lan Sizhui was Wei Wuxian’s son.

    (or, in which Lan Sizhui is forced to stay in Lotus Pier for three weeks, and saves Jiang Cheng in more ways than one. Turns out stab wounds heal faster than 16 years of regret.)

    Summary

    Izuku has plans for everything.

    He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

    For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

    Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

    (Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

    Honestly better than canon ever could be. If Izuku met All Might when he was younger

    Summary

    After All Might gives Izuku a much needed reality check, he has to find a new dream. When he learns that the support course at UA offers an emphasis in Intelligence and Analytics, it sounds like the perfect new passion for him to throw himself into.
    Who knew? Maybe Hero Analysis for the Future was never meant for his future as a hero, but for his future helping heroes...

    This fic has a discord.

    Izuku as a support course analyst. Amazing friendships and relationships, better character arcs than canon

    Summary

    Summary

    Wright grimaces. “Sorry to tell you this, but as of six hours ago, I’m officially a stay-at-home dad rather than a lawyer. I might be able to recommend you someone else if-”

    “That’s why I’m here!” Apollo half-yells, and then feels the tips of his ears flush because he just shouted over Phoenix Wright. “I know we’ve never met before, Mr Wright, but I think you’re being framed, and I want to help you clear your name!”

    ~*~

    In which Apollo is 15, Trucy is 8, and Phoenix is very confused as to where all these children keep coming from. (Also known as the 'Apollo goes to the Enigmar trial AU')

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Apollo gets a family. Wright gets his badge back much earlier.

    The relationships in this are so well depicted. It’s heartbreaking at times and comforting at others. A lovely read.
