Summary
Izuku didn’t think. He would later find himself meditating a lot on this issue, for it seemed to be an unfortunate habit. And possibly an ironic one. His whole shtick was analysis, using his brain and whatnot, but in the heat of the moment any critical thinking skills just went right out the window. As it happened, so did he.
Or
When six-year-old Midoriya Izuku’s parents perish in a fire, a new mother takes him under her wing. Now Izuku trains to aid her cause: uncovering and exposing the corruption of politicians, police, and especially heroes. Well, up until he’s caught in the line of fire, injured, and taken under the guardianship of the hero he’s investigating.

Summary
Caleb should go back inside.
Caleb should stand up, go back inside, and forget that he saw anything curled up in the filthy alleyway behind his building. Stay out of trouble. Things die all the time.
When he lays two fingers at the vampire’s neck, its skin is chill as the wet cobblestones. He can just feel the tiny rise and fall of its ribcage.
Damnit.
(It's a Shadowgast modern-with-magic vampire!AU)

Finished 17:
Caleb dreams of canoodling with or attacking (or sharing his friends and life with) EssekWistful apple cider Caleb and bundle-y Essek 🥰 The calm before the fuckery.
Essek admits that (maybe) Caleb could (possibly) be considered a friend. Caleb recalls breaking and being “fixed” twice, where IkyThot pretends that vamps killed his family
Essek is excited to talk to Caleb, and even when it only shows a little, Caleb notices the change and is like “what u buttering me up for? Not complaining or anything but…” and slips into a little flirtation.
Essek is delighted by Caleb’s annotations in a wizard publication and wants to snag more of his copies… Also it mentioned a publication he wrote a while ago so excited for THAT to be revealed eventually. Caleb’s memory is sure to retain that little mention…
Essek is NOT panicking in a bathtub because he has a very nice night, dammit. He’s also so so curious and cannot Suggest C tells him his backstory.
spell taught, Caleb like “ooooooh Essek magic shiny. Essek shiny.” and shows his keen mind
everyone is floaty and good! Riding the highs of a good feeding/envenoming and there are no dark histories of being on venom and tortured so one doesn’t learn to enjoy it not at all
first feeding, explicit consent Essek let’s go, Caleb is more relaxed than he’s ever allowed to be and is now sleepy boi
E and C set to meet up on Thursday (IITY?😉) for blood, Essek dropped of contract in the mail and will go over Caleb’s revisions when they meet, both are hanging on by a thread my guy. Essek like I’m so in control of my life and fine and Caleb’s pretending like his life isn’t a series of panicked Frumpkin snuggles.
Essek has left after being saved by Caleb, and both of them are struggling against panic attacks in the following days.

Summary
To say that Ryland Grace and Simon of Eden get off on the wrong foot would be the understatement of the century.
Being rescued didn’t miraculously solve all of Simon’s problems. He has a lot to adjust to. Being a fresh amputee, the stars not being dead, aliens being real, living on an alien planet, having a human neighbor who doesn't want to kill him, trusting in this so-called “reality” that’s too good to be true… yeah, no, making friends isn’t a priority. Exiting survival mode is easier said than done. He barely even knows who he is when he’s not fighting tooth and nail.
Grace is doing his best not to get attached to the handsome stranger he helped save. Simon may choose to leave Erid once he’s healed. He’s not so desperate for human company that he’d pursue someone who attacked him in their first-ever interaction. He has a good life here on Erid; he totally doesn’t dream of holding another human being’s hand, or being looked at fondly by someone with eyes, or seeing another person’s smile. He has Rocky and Adrian, who are more than enough family for him.
But who does Simon have, if not Grace?

(The one where Simon trauma trigger violence trigger grace trauma)
Simon very depressed and loathing himself but allowing Eridians to take care of him while he gets better bit by bit
Simon visits class and it’s super cute! He talks with Grace! Bonding! Until he goes ah shit the first human contract you had in 68 years was me trying to kill you and he shuts down a bit, leaving after revealing his brutal past and title
Simon: i made quiche fuck you
Grace: T_T this is one of the best things I have ever tasted lemme tell you about the starving times
Simon: … shit maybe we’re more alike than i thought
Simon: i cannot tell him my shit he’s too empathetic and has already been through enough I’ll just be over here having nightmares that I killed himGrace is determined to be a passive aggressive petty bench via bringing Simon weekly produce because, yet again, his efforts to connect resulted in triggered trauma and the belief that Simon will never like/trust/think well of him. Also Simon was like “is this a sex thing” and Grace was like “when the hell did I do anything to make you think that. I want dates and times.” Also G is touch-starved and it battles against feeling unsafe with Simons touch and i love it
Simon see the stars and finally maybe believed that he’s not hallucinating all of this!

Summary
Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.
“Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”
Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.
The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

Summary
Two survivors wake up aboard Hail Mary with no memory of how they got there: Dr Ryland Grace, and an engineer called Simon Fleischer. As they navigate their unique situation and the discoveries awaiting them at Tau Ceti, they uncover truths about themselves that would have, perhaps, been better left forgotten.

Simon and Grace wake up, realize together where they are, Grace freaks out and Simon recalls staring at his ass a lot when they were on Stratt's Vatt. Mutual attraction and Simon's decision that pursuing it would be a very very bad idea.

Summary
“What – what?” Colt demands when they turn the corner. Set pieces roll by. Gail keeps pulling until they're in the trailer and the door is shut. Then, like a freak, she pulls at the shades. “Gail, you're doing that thing again.”
“What thing?” She peaks behind the blind one more time.
“The thing you do when you make me think you're about to kill me,” he says, “or tell me that you've killed someone else.”
OR, Colt Seavers tries to go back to his normal life after his older brother comes back from the dead. Unfortunately, his life is dedicated to fucking him over.
