Summary
Ten years after the final All for One battles, the missions at the Deku-Aspire agency were usually straightforward. Complex, sure; complicated and difficult, absolutely. Top Ten heroes weren’t called in for every day shoplifting or cats stuck in trees, of course. Still, it was usually simple to tell good from bad, villain versus hero.
Until, during a cold week in January, it suddenly wasn’t.
OR
Someone's out to get the heroes and sidekicks at Midoriya and Todoroki's agency, and Midoriya's gonna stop them. (Complete, updates all this week).

Summary
After the Cup of China, Yuuri waited for an awkward discussion of the kiss on the ice. He waited that night, in their shared hotel room; waited over breakfast the next morning, when Victor had sat on the same side of the booth and stolen bites from Yuuri’s plate; he waited on the flight home, when he woke to the scent of Victor’s sweet shampoo from where he’d nestled against him in the air. He waited, but they never spoke of it. Instead, Victor comes back to Japan ready to immerse himself in the language, and Yuuri comes back wondering what exactly had happened.
OR:
Victor is learning Japanese for all the wrong and right reasons.
