Summary
Legend was sure of three things.
One. An unexpected portal had dropped him in the middle of goddesses knew where, goddesses knew when, and he couldn’t see anyone else. It wasn’t the first time they had been split up. It was the first time Legend was all alone.
Two. He didn’t have his bag. He shoved this fact to the recesses of his mind, determined not to dwell on it any longer than he had to.
Three. It was cold. It was so cold that clouds of condensation puffed in front of his face, so cold that he could already feel the shivers wracking his body. Cold that he wasn’t prepared for in the slightest.
Or: Legend and Warriors are stranded in the snow with no supplies.

Summary
He didn’t want the strangers getting anywhere near him. He wanted his Mam, and he wanted to roll down the grassy hill with Linkle, and he wanted to sit in the worn rocking chair by the kitchen and try to sound out his Da’s books. But he knew he had no way of getting out of the trap by himself, and it hurt.
Or: Warriors gets de-aged just before he meets the Chain (in a rather unfortunate set of circumstances)

Summary
Three days had come and gone, and Warriors had not slept.
A hazy fog had descended over his mind, his body. He knew it wasn’t good for him, doggedly pushing through as his stress levels ratcheted higher and higher. But it was well beyond his control now, and he was fighting a battle he didn’t know how to win.
He really didn’t like fighting battles he didn’t know how to win.
How could he calm the swirling paranoia when he had a job to do, brothers to watch over? How could he sleep when he didn’t know what would happen once his eyes slipped shut?
Or: Warriors is stressed, exhausted, and not sleeping. After reaching a breaking point, his brothers care for him.

Summary
Somehow, Link always thought that there was some sort of divine guarantee that he would be content after his adventure, like it was owed to him for his sacrifice. He understands why Midna made the decision she did, and he cannot resent her for it.
The idea that he has a right to happiness is a joke, but he never feels like laughing about it. He never feels like doing much of anything, these days.
Twilight joins the Chain last, but he’s mid depressive episode and not doing well.

Summary
“Mask,” he breathes, “Sprite, it’s me. You have to calm down. We have to be quiet.”
He shouldn’t waste the words, shouldn’t risk it, but he can’t stop himself from whispering, “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. It’s okay.”
Link shoves a free end of his scarf into Mask’s fist like an apology. The deep royal blue is a signifier of a hero, of safety. Right now looking at it makes Link feel sick.
Or: Captain Link rescues a sick and exhausted Mask from capture ft Link’s scarf as a baby sling

Summary
Blood traced a sluggish path down Warriors’ cheek and then dripped onto his exposed neck. It was warm. He blinked - once, twice, then rapidly as he tried to clear his pounding head. He stared blearily at his surroundings, finally dredging up two pieces of information.
One - something was seriously wrong with him. And two - he had no idea where he was, how he got there, or how much time had elapsed.

Summary
Standing behind the new hero was…another him, only slightly different. And also a ghost. That part was very important to note.
The ghost wore the same clothing as Wild, but his hair was much shorter, neater and more restrained. His skin was smooth and nearly unblemished. Though his expression came off as blank and severe, Wind could see the sadness that pulled at the corners of his eyes, the weight that curved his shoulders slightly inwards. He hardly moved.
OR: The version of Wild that died in the Calamity follows him around. Wind can see ghosts. These two facts are not unrelated.

Summary
Legend wasn’t known for kindness, for patience, for softness. The Chain went to Sky for that, or perhaps Twilight. But right now, he cursed himself for the prickly reputation he had painstakingly built for himself in the months he’d been traveling with the group.
Right now, he wanted a hug.
Or: Legend has a bad day. Warriors and Twilight do their best to take care of him.

Summary
“SKY!”
He hears someone, Four maybe, shout his name from across the clearing. He lands on his right arm, hard, screaming internally as something snaps. He moves to lift his head, assure Four that he’s okay, but he can’t move. It’s just like before.
He can’t move.

Sky has narcolepsy, but he doesn’t know it yet. A sudden sleep attack mid-battle puts him at risk, and he struggles to accept his new condition and rely on his brothers.

Summary
Twilight takes off his wolf pelt and drapes it on top of the shaking boy, threading one arm under his knees and the other under his back as he picks him up and draws him into his chest.
Oh.
Wild is too disoriented and upset at this point to fully register what’s happening, but he knows he’s being held.
Someone is hugging him.
Or: A sick and touch-starved wild finally gets the comfort he deserves.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku gets transported 15 years into the past, when his homeroom teacher is a first year at UA High School. Will he be able to surpass Aizawa’s barriers and work with him to return to his own time before it’s too late?
-------------------------------------------
The villain shifted before going still in the hold the cuffs had on her. Her eyes met Aizawa's.
“Surprising you haven’t figured it out by now, Eraserhead. Your precious student is now somewhere in your own life’s timeline, at a critical point of decision or development for you. If he succeeds in finding you and resolving the conflict - very few do, you know - I imagine you’ll be seeing him around shortly. If he doesn’t...don’t plan on him ever coming back.”

Summary
Shinsou was always watching for Eraserhead.
Every night, he would silently open his window and slip into the darkness. Oftentimes, he’d find himself sitting on rooftops, scanning the surroundings (Just to be extra cautious of any villains, he always told himself).
Unbeknownst to Shinsou, Aizawa was looking for him too.
There was nothing significant about Shinsou; Aizawa didn’t know anything about him, his life, or his quirk - but he still found himself glancing down unlit alleyways (just to be extra cautious of any villains, he always told himself).
He was going to help that boy.
(Or, the one where Shinsou is a sad bean and Aizawa and Present Mic adopt him)
