Summary
Ochako smiles as they fall smoothly into their usual banter, but when she glances over her shoulder, it drops.
At the gate, the man still stands, unmoving, hands in his pockets.
His eyes are on her.
She turns her head back around and doesn’t take another full breath until they’re indoors and out of sight.
(Or: Ochako is being watched.)Series

Summary
The first mark Izuku gets is a slight brush of green across his temple. It’s the soft touch of a mother holding her son for the first time. Inko has one to match, the same shade of green staining the tips of her fingers. Hers is more noticeable; Izuku’s tends to blend into his hairline.
He loves it anyways. He has to. It’s the only soulmate mark he has.
(Or: how Izuku goes from just green to a rainbow, UA-style.)Series

Summary
The words aren’t entirely ingenuine, but Tango isn’t fooled. Feeling bold, he leans forward a bit, using his height over the smaller avian to really stare him down. “Uh huh. And what’s the real reason?”
Grian swallows, Void-dark eyes darting away from Tango’s. It takes a moment, but then he visibly crumbles. “Alright, maybe I heard a rumor—”
In which Tango is floored by the reaction his not-so-mini game has gotten out of the hermits, and Grian makes sure he knows why.

Summary
Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.
Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.
Grace, though…
Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

Summary
His friends are dead, and now he’s trapped in a world where he has no voice, no control, and no one on his side except for the bastard who forced him to join in the first place.
Trust doesn’t just grow in one day.
