    Summary

    "We're really sorry," his father says, in a teary-eyed, wobbly way. "But your friend, Izuku, he's... He's gone, son."
    Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation.
    "What the fuck are you two talking about? The damn nerd is standing right beside you!"

     

     

    During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Stuck in a ghost-like state, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in this state is no one other than Kacchan.

    Alternatively: Deku and Kacchan are soulbound.

    Summary

    And Katsuki’s heart was aching so much, it was breaking to pieces, but he couldn’t do this anymore. He needed Izuku to stay the fuck away from him. He needed to stay the fuck away from Izuku.

    He needed to distance himself and smother that feeling – that love he felt. He needed to move on. And he knew it – he would never be able to do it while Izuku was there by his side, smiling and touching him and bumping into him and playing with his hair. He would never be able to live through it – he would never be able to stop loving the man who taught him what love was in the first place.

    It would be better if Izuku hated him. Maybe then he could hate Izuku too.
    What option is better? To know what it’s like to have you and lose you, and live forever in pain, or to give you up so I can live in less misery, and end up without you all the same?”

    Summary

    He clicked the pen his therapist had given him, opening the first page. In big letters, he wrote, “Reasons To Live: 1-100.”

    Then, he flipped to the middle of the journal. He paused, felt-tip inches from the page. This was gonna be another mistake to add to his long-running list, wasn’t it?

    Caving, he put the pen to the page.

    “Reasons to Die: 1-100.”

    The idea was simple; old as time.

    First to one hundred wins.

    Summary

    Steve is from a small town; less than 3,000 people, and he's been lonely all his life. When he leaves for college, his parents warn him against the heathens of the rest of the world, but his eyes find someone interesting, someone his parents would hate, hide from, pray for. And Steve finds that he can't really bring himself to care what they'd think. As his faith fades, so does his loneliness, and something else takes their place.
