Summary
Waking up at 12 Grimmauld Place wouldn't have been something concerning except for a few things.
1. Harry had fallen asleep in the Eighth years' dormitory.
2. He wasn't even in the right bedroom at Grimmauld Place.
3. Sirius Black was standing right in front of him, looking very much alive.Shelves: Harry Potter

Enter!verse Anthology by Viari
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Video Games)
01 Feb 2023
Summary
Once upon a time, I started writing a time travel AU in which Anakin Skywalker ended up in 51 ABY, met his grandchildren, and dealt with his own dark legacy while helping the remaining Jedi in their struggle against a new Sith Empire. It was supposed to just be that one story - and then my brain decided to do a thing, and oops, look at that, I have a whole 'verse now.
These stories do not need to be read in any particular order, and I like to think you can start with any of them. They're currently listed in the order they were posted.
There's a bit of everything here: drama, action, angst (okay, more than a bit of angst), romance (often dark, but not always), horror (mostly of the psychological variety), introspection, and even some humor. There are also a fair number of original characters, but that's sort of necessary when you're operating 50-60 years after ANH. Hopefully you'll find something to enjoy, and maybe even come back for more. ;)
(If you're interested in the various AUs of this 'verse, including the one where Anakin didn't turn to the dark side, see my sister series, Enter!verse AUs)
Anthology containing:
Enter the Foreign
Just before his fateful turn to the dark side, Anakin Skywalker is transported 70 years into the future, where he meets the ragtag remainder of the Jedi Order and becomes engulfed in their struggle against the new Sith Empire. Leading this fractured band of Jedi is Anakin’s grandson, Ben Skywalker, a young Knight still haunted by the deaths of his loved ones and by the betrayal of his former master, Darth Caedus.
But the One Sith have not been idle in the years following the defeat of Caedus. Previously hidden in the shadows, they now stand on the brink of galactic domination, led there by the powerful and enigmatic Darth Krayt. As the two sides hurtle toward a final confrontation, will Anakin be able to separate himself from the shadow of Darth Vader? Or is it simply a matter of destiny – perhaps even the will of the Force – that the Chosen One and his scions should fall…?

Sequel trilogy AU where Rey is Luke and Ezra’s daughter and she must defeat Darth Plagueis before he destroys the galaxy.
Anthology containing:
The Prince and the Bodyguard
Bail is unsure why he’s being told this, but he is intrigued. “Where is the boy now?”
“Here,” Mon smiles, “on this base, being cared for by Shara Bey and Kes Dameron.”
Bail nods upon recognizing the names. Shara is their best pilot, and Kes is their best combat leader.
“However,” Mon states, “they cannot care for the boy full-time. There is something...unique about him. Something you are more equipped to handle.”
Bail narrows his eyes. “What?”
“Ezra Bridger is Force-sensitive,” Mon reveals.
Bail leans back in his chair and blinks once. “I see…”
“If your son is anything like his true parents,” Mon says, “he will soon require guidance. This boy also requires that guidance.”
“So,” Bail says, “you want me to shield them both from the Empire. Get them a...teacher.”
Daughter of Strife and Serendipity
Immensely troubled, Luke meets Ezra’s gaze. “How did she...has she-”
Ezra shakes his head. “I’ve never seen anything like that before.”
Luke glances over at his daughter. Rey has yet to notice Luke’s arrival as she gathers herbs and flowers into her lap.
Luke blows air out of his mouth. He keeps his voice low, out of earshot. “She’s the daughter of two powerful Force sensitives. We should have expected this to happen.”

Seven Shades of Summer Anthology by Drarrelie, protectnevillelongbottom, Janieohio, EvAEleanor, bottseveryflavorbeans, Drarrymadhatter, JessicaDoom
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
20 Jun 2020
Summary
Our second anthology is inspired by myths and traditions associated with the Summer Solstice. Since prehistory, the Summer Solstice has been seen as a significant time of year in many cultures, and since it’s often been associated with mystique and the supernatural, this day is related to an abundance of rituals, myths and folklore.
Let us take you on a journey through Europe as we explore the myths and traditions of this special day. We give you seven one-shots filled with magic, myth, and folklore; bonfires, flowers, and costumes; fluff, smut, angst, and humour; pining, banter, and magical creatures — this anthology has it all.
Anthology containing:
Sweden | A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Drarrelie
With the war finally over, you’d think Harry would finally be granted that “normal life” he’s always dreamt about. Finally free from the Dursleys, from that nose-less megalomaniac, from Horcruxes, Hollows, Death Eaters, Dementors, Prophecies… you’d think that he, for the first time in his life, would be allowed to be just a normal teenager. You’d think he’d deserve that much, right?
But then you haven’t considered Luna Lovegood. Luna, who has the most whimsical ideas that no one ever takes seriously. Luna, who apparently has Swedish heritage and knows about some strange Summer Solstice ritual that she wants to perform. Luna, who’s so sweet and kind that you can’t help but humour her when she offers you some distraction from your post-war confusion.
Harry knows he should’ve known better, knows he shouldn’t have let her persuade him to go through with it. But he did.
And now, Harry’s life will probably never be normal again.
Spain | Well-Deserved by protectnevillelongbottom
Harry and Draco take their annual birthday trip together to celebrate Spain's midsummer traditions, surprising each other along the way.
UK/Ireland | Planned Performances by Janieohio
Following the war, the Hogwarts staff decides it’s a good idea to require the eighth-year students to put on a play for a Summer Solstice celebration. Harry may be oblivious, but eventually, not even he can ignore the signs of his and Draco’s sexual tension. It only takes Shakespeare and some skimpy festival costumes to get him to make his move.
Poland | A Faint Glow of Hope by EvAEleanor
On Draco’s 25th birthday, somebody attempts to curse him, but Harry Potter jumps between them and is hit instead, with unexpected consequences. Potter is running out of time, and they both embark on a race against time to find the only cure that could save Harry. Little do they know they will need to face a myriad of magical creatures and their own feelings on the way.
Austria | A Bonfire, a Leap, and a Very Silly Myth, Indeed by bottseveryflavorbeans
Harry sits alone, watching the Solstice Festival, a new tradition to celebrate good fortune put together by Hermione and a committee of Hogwarts students. The party is underway, with everyone drinking around bonfires, laughing, and basically being happier than him.
Draco finds him, decides Harry needs some cheering up, and convinces him to take a leap that leads to something Harry only just realized he’d wanted for a long time.
Russia | Fates Entwined by Drarrymadhatter
Hogwarts is celebrating Midsummer the Russian way and Harry’s miserable and bitter. Everyone seems to be moving on and finding love except him. As the day goes on, he finds himself forced to participate in the festivities with Draco Malfoy as a reluctant companion.
Scotland | I'm Terrified, But the Truth is This... by JessicaDoom
Okay, so…Draco Malfoy has a thing for Harry Potter. Honestly, how could he not?
When Harry invites him to be his "date" to his friends' wedding, Draco goes all-in on a soul-bearing display of his real feelings for the man. Once it becomes obvious that he misinterpreted Harry's intentions, Draco begins to feel like all hope has been lost on his Chosen One ever returning those feelings. Through the magic of the Summer Solstice (and perhaps a bit too much wine), he finally finds the courage to take his shot.Shelves: Harry Potter

IcyHot Broccoli Shots Anthology by CrzA
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia, Miraculous Ladybug
07 May 2020
Summary
Anthology containing:
Hearts on fire
Midoriya and Todoroki try out their first time kissing, whether it was planned or not. There's some embarrassment, some laughter and definitely some fire between them. It's really nothing but a bit of cute fluff.
I'm here if you want to
Todoroki is going back to his room after going to the bathroom late at night. On his way past the common room, he finds Midoriya crying by himself and he can't help but stop and try to comfort him.
I'm sorry I'm too weak
When Todoroki has one particularly bad day, Endeavor's words won't leave him alone, they weigh on him with every breath he takes and they consume him. Weak. Too weak. He's wound so tight and he's so tired. That tension is bound to snap and take those around him with it.
You, me, popcorn and childhood dreams
When Midoriya finds out that Todoroki has never watched any of the Disney movies that filled his childhood with magical dreams and joy, he immediately has to right this horrible wrong. Todoroki finds himself at his friend's house for a movie marathon sleepover and he's not entirely sure what to do with himself. Was it always this hard to not stare at Midoriya?
The Death of a Hero
That night marked the death of a hero. It marked the death of a friend, of a partner, of someone he loved. Shouto loved quietly but until the very end...
How to make a Shouto squirm
It was an accident really. It’s not like he was actively trying to pry any secrets out of his friend, how was he supposed to know? All Midoriya was trying to do was get Todoroki’s attention when they were in his dorm room studying. Granted he could’ve gone for a tap on his shoulder, or maybe even his arm but how was he supposed to predict this reaction?
Or Midoriya finds out Todoroki is ridiculously ticklish and has fun taking advantage of this knowledge.
Swimming in thoughts of him
“Shouto…” The name leaves his lips like a prayer and he wakes with a shudder, his clothes sticking to his skin uncomfortably, sweat licking down his body as he suddenly sits up on his bed.
Midoriya groans as the moving images of his dream linger around in his mind, vivid and colourful, like a movie playing before his eyes. A movie that he was more than a little embarrassed to want to watch on repeat.
Elsewhere
He can’t take it anymore, he can’t handle all this pain, all this suffering. Not when he’s had a taste of what it feels like to be… happy. Not when he’s learned what friends are and how much they help. Not when there’s someone out there who makes him feel like more than just a weapon, a possession. He can’t stay in this cold and dark place where everything around him burns. Is… Is that so wrong?
Snow Day
“It snowed last night!”
Todoroki blinked at him once, then another time, face as neutral as ever. Did he really just wake him up to tell him that? He could make it snow in his own room if he wanted. This was pointless. He was about to slam the door in Kirishima’s face, like he so desperately wanted to do, when the elevator dinged with the announcement of a new arrival.
Right Here
Direct sequel to Elsewhere
The walls are closing in around him, and he’s not sure if it’s the way his breaths are short that is making the room spin or if it’s the towering figure looming threateningly above him. He’s lying on the cold floorboards, hunched in on himself, hurting all over, body trembling violently in equal parts chilling cold, blinding rage and paralysing fear. Because when he looks up he sees nothing but fire, nothing but fury, disappointment and disgust, all burning bright red all around. But that’s not even the worst part.
Dancing to the Melody of Heartstrings
“K-Kacchan was the only one I’ve e-ever loved…” He pauses to take a gasping breath. “I still love him…”
“I know.” Uraraka sighs again, but this time it’s not exasperated as much as it is understanding and sympathetic. “Which is why you need to get out of here. Stop thinking about him and start moving on.”
Or the Dance AU no one asked for where Izuku is depressed about breaking up with Kacchan, so Uraraka takes him to a club to lift his spirits and he meets the guy who's going to keep his thoughts busy for far longer than he intended.
Sick Day
Direct Sequel to Snow Day
“Are you okay?” Todoroki whispered, trying not to rouse any more angry stares from the other students around them.
“’m fine…” Midoriya sniffled into yet another tissue, his green eyes taking on a glossy quality to it, half-lidded and red-rimmed.
Or Midoriya is sick and Todoroki doesn't quite know what to do! Just fluff and nothing more!
To Have And To Hold
Letter after letter, Izuku goes on a journey through Shouto's deepest feelings, a loving gesture that sends him to loved one after loved one until he meets the one he loves most once again.
Sugar Sweet
Drabble where Midoriya and Todoroki play the pocky game. That's all there is to it.
Bleeding Hearts
Soulmates are connections. As is in the name, it is a connection that goes as deep as the soul itself. Souls are shaped through life experiences. Brightened and nurtured by love and joy. Bent and broken by pain and misfortune. And that connection is etched somewhere on his body, in his soulmate’s handwriting: a keepsake, something that will let him know what bound them together by the string of fate.
You Can Leave Your Socks On
Shouto never thought he’d find a particular piece of clothing enticing. Clothes were just clothes. Pieces of fabric tailored this way or that to cover someone up, sometimes leaving peeks into the person’s skin. That all changed when Shouto walked into Izuku’s room...
Desperate For Your Touch
Shouto is hardly one step into their apartment when Izuku’s arms wrap around his neck, nails scraping against his scalp as he tangles his fingers into his hair. He couldn’t stop the small smile tugging at the corners of his lips if he wanted to, leaning down to press a kiss to Izuku’s temple before he buries his face in his neck. Shouto shudders when Izuku’s mouth closes around his collarbone, shuffling inside the rest of the way and closing the door behind them as his boyfriend starts to eagerly nibble at sensitive flesh.
Thirst
How in the ever-living hell was he hotter with freaking clothes on?
Watch as Midoriya Izuku stumbles through a series of embarrassing events he's not quite sure how he got himself into. All because he came to the sudden realisation that one of his best friends is a lot hotter than he previously thought. And that's not just because of his quirk, or the hot day.
The Crown Does NOT Make the Royal
It's princess Uraraka's 16th birthday, so of course princes from all kinds of kingdoms have come to not only congratulate her, but also try to win her hand. Among the many guests, however, is All Might, revered war hero and inspiring ruler, and Izuku wants nothing more than to go to that ball and maybe get a chance to meet him. He manages to somehow get in, but the princess has other plans for him and drops her tiara on his head and leaves him. Prince Todoroki Shouto mistakes him for her brother because of it. How? He has no idea. They look nothing alike.
Fire
“I want to deny you, is that okay?”
“Deny me?”
Izuku hums, leaving another peck on his neck.
Or Izuku decides to deny Shouto his release.
The Rises and Falls of Your Breaths
It all starts with a summer storm... Izuku and Shouto are together through thick and thin, through the happiness and the sadness, through everything life might throw their way. It might not always be as easy as they would like it to be, but that's just how relationships go, and theirs is no exception.
Just Out of Reach
Set in the same universe as Fire
Shouto is nothing if not a pleaser. It’s only natural that he would enjoy Izuku’s little noises, the way he voices his pleasure, blessing Shouto’s ears with the confirmation that he is in fact doing something right.
Izuku decides that Shouto's love for his voice might just be enough that he doesn't have to touch him at all.
Out of Sight, Out of (my) Mind
Sequel to Just Out of Reach
As hero work proves to be more and more demanding, finally getting a day off together seems to Izuku like the perfect opportunity to relearn the sensation of Shouto's skin beneath his fingers. But it just so happens that his hands might also be a little tied.A Heart's Desire
“It’s a quirk alright. Looks like a classic case of a love drug type quirk.”
“What makes you think that?” Izuku can’t really keep the bitter sarcasm completely out of his tone, trying to make himself wiggle out of Todoroki’s embrace rather than melt into it.
Or where Shouto gets hit by a quirk that makes him much more affectionate towards Izuku
Oh, The Horror
When the Dekusquad spends the Halloween night on a Haunted House of Horrors with a promise of everlasting memories, Izuku finds that they may really be everlasting nightmares. Who knew that the aspiring hero with a knack for getting himself in the worst kind of trouble couldn’t handle horror? Hiding his very hopeless and obvious crush on Todoroki proves to be difficult as Izuku cowers in fear while clinging to his friend for most of the night.
Sinergy
The guy twists on his heel as soon as Shouto hisses, wide green eyes filled with shame when they meet his. Shouto nearly flinches when the young man reaches for his arm, rubbing it gently with an apologetic smile before tilting his head slightly to one side. Wild green curls fall over those pools of jade and draw his attention to the dark freckles sprinkled all over his cheeks underneath them, Shouto’s vision blurring momentarily before focusing on full lips mouthing an apology.
First Encounters of the Awkward Kind
It is a fitting end for him, he thinks, someone who has not known warmth for as long as he can remember. Even so, Shouto did not imagine it would come so soon. Alone? Yes. During active duty? There was no other way for him. But only a few years into his career as a pro hero proper? Shouto always thought he would last at least a decade.
Or a story in which Shouto is saved from a really ironic death by a quirkless firefigther
Kiss Kiss You're My Love
“Did… did what exactly?”
Her head snaps up to look him in the eyes, a deep flush dusting over her cheeks before she covers her face with her hands and shakes her head violently. Strangely enough, Izuku is somewhat reminded of himself.
“I may have… Accidentally used my quirk on you.”
“Oh.” Izuku provides intelligently. “So, what should I be expecting?”
Or where Izuku gets hit by a quirk that throws him into the most embarrassing Shoujo manga tropes out there.
Satisfaction
When Shouto comes home, he is met with the adorable sight of Izuku standing by the door to greet him with a cheeky grin, swallowed up in one other of Shouto’s hoodies, a light blue one with a large white snowflake at the front pocket, and grey sweatpants much too long on his legs.
Last Chance
Shouto goes to Ashido for advice on how to confess to the person he loves. The gossip chain starts with Ashido. It always starts with Ashido. And When it gets back to Izuku, he decides that he needs to find him so that he can confess his own feelings before it's too late.
Achievement Unlocked: Converted
The Jock and Nerd trope has been turned on its head. How exactly? Well, one is a quiet kid with glasses and the other is part of the wrestling team, but as they say... never judge a book by its cover.
Santa Baby
Izuku went and got his time off one day early, so Shouto really couldn’t see him when he was still busy dealing with collateral.
Needless to say, he isn’t in the best of moods.
So, really, getting home to this was something he didn’t know he wanted but, good lord, it should have been at the very top of his wish list.
Or where Shouto comes home to a late Christmas gift...
The Struggle™
The Struggle™
When the person you're in love with is so painfully oblivious you have to resort to extreme measures to make them notice.
Or where Izuku gets desperate trying to get Shouto to realise his feelings for him run deeper than friendship.
A Little Bit of Heaven
Shouto finds out some more about about the world he really lives in all the while settling into his relationship with Izuku.
I ship it (way too hard)
Having lived most of his life immersed in the ways of the hero world, Izuku knew that people really liked to pair heroes off. When he was obsessed with just being a hero, he didn’t really understand it, but it only took him realising exactly how much he cared for his aforementioned best friend for him to kind of get the picture.
Or where Izuku ends up running a server dedicated to his and Shouto's ship.
Read Between The Lines
Throughout his first year of college, Izuku finds out a lot about himself. One of those things is that he is very, extremely, hopelessly gay for pretty boys with damn near impossible full heterochromia. And his plans to confess to his crush may just go a little awry.
A Kind Name For A Cursed Creature
The castle walls are cold and dark. Even on the days that the sun shines the brightest, Shouto can’t help but hide in the shadows that stretch across the walls, as if the very thought of stepping into the light might be painful.
A cursed prince consumed by darkness needs a light to shine through him to find his own.
Quest for Love
Izuku comes from a humble little village where everyone knows each other and traditions run deeply in their little community. Despite his wild dreams of becoming an adventurer as he grew up attached to his mother’s skirts, he had never really thought he would get to live them.
And yet, he finds himself on a quest for a flower with Prince Todoroki and things take a turn for the worst.
Behind The Screen
The little icon is a small image of a young man’s face surrounded by sparkly stars, the left half covered by a flowy, blood-red fabric. The part of his face that is uncovered is… quite beautiful, as cartoon drawings go. He has a pale complexion, silky-looking white hair—one of his anime boy weaknesses—and a soft grey eye paired with thin red lips.
Izuku narrows his eyes. “What is this?”
“An Otome.” Ochako smirks.
We Are The Only Ones Holding Ourselves Back
One of his best friends has just confessed to him. The person he likes has just confessed to him. Izuku should be happy... Yet all he seems to feel is like the world is about to crash around him...
Level Up
After getting together in High School, Shouto and Izuku follow into their lives together.
Sequel to Achievement Unlocked: Converted
Level Up: First Steps
The first time Izuku and Shouto from Achievement Unlocked: Converted are intimate.
Level Up: Reunited
After a tense few weeks, Izuku and Shouto from Achievement Unlocked: Converted have a passionate reunion.
Fake It Till You Make It
On a Saturday afternoon, Izuku is met with a dilemma.
Or the one where TodoDeku fake date in order to make Shouto's crush jealous. The thing is... it actually works.
Part Of Your World
After escaping from Behind The Screen of Izuku's phone, Shouto is now faced with integrating the real world. For that, Izuku is willing to go above and beyond to give him the best chance at a normal, real life.
Dark Times This Way Come
Class 3-A is tasked with creating a 45 minute Noir Film for their English class. Their knowledge of the genre is pretty much limited to the aesthetic and basic themes and it's as much of a mess as anyone might imagine it would be. At least everyone looks amazing while doing it.
Lost And Found
The sun is barely peeking above the horizon when Izuku comes to, fingers curling around the pillow he’s hugging to his chest as he takes in a few deep breaths, the soft covers wrapping around him like a lover’s embrace. Which reminds him…
Or the not-so-perfect morning after the perfect wedding.
Clashing Emotions
“It was an accident with a civilian. Dude says his quirk splits someone’s negative and positive emotions into two separate entities. Guess since the half’n’half was already kinda split, it just… well.” Kacchan gestures vaguely towards the Todorokis.
It's Exactly What It Looks Like
When Shouto and Izuku are both dragged to the same party by their respective friends with the intent of getting them to meet someone to 'have fun with', they end up helping each other by spending a few hours together in a locked room--to talk to each other. When they end up growing closer after this first encounter, a bet forms between them: who will break first and tell their friends they actually started dating?
Not All Guardian Angels Have Feathers
A powerful demon shackled by his rank, his will held hostage by his father's rule. A young child raised by exorcists, curiosity and smarts unmatched by anyone his age. Certainly, it can only be a match made in Hell, one that will either destroy them or bind them together by more than just fate.
Soul of a Song
A favourite song can say a lot about a person.
A soulmate AU in which soulmates can sometimes hear the other's favourite song in their head. For as long as he can remember, Izuku has only heard one song.
Sinking Under
Being a merman born with defective fins, Izuku was left with not much to do but wander, and from a young age, he had always been warned by his mother not to get too close to humans because of it too. But when a human falls down a cliff and into the sea on a particularly stormy night, despite his shortcomings, Izuku has no other choice but to help in any way he can.
Lost in a Dream
For as long as society can remember, soulmates had been a constant, unexplainable variable part of everyone’s life. No matter how far apart, those who shared such a connection would find each other in their dreams. Whenever the darkness of sleep took them over and they found themselves surrounded by the worlds of their subconscious’ making, they would be led to a place only they could share.
Izuku's soulmate never showed up at their place.
Mew Have Cat To Be Kitten Me
Izuku likes cats. Izuku also likes Todoroki. But Todoroki acting like a cat? Izuku doesn't really know how to feel about that.
Love Yourself
When Shouto is hit by a quirk that makes him love the person he hates the most, Izuku is left reeling from the unbearable ache that settles in his chest.
Fit for a Queen
“As you may or may not be aware… This wouldn’t be a western-style bachelor party without a little something.” Behind Denki, Kirishima snickers and Bakugou rolls his eyes. Shouto’s stomach drops slightly. “That something, my good friend, is obviously strippers. Well, stripper, in this case.”
“Denki—” Shouto starts, already feeling beyond uncomfortable by the notion alone.
“Oh, don’t worry, my Queen! I thought of everything to make this enjoyable for you. I went ahead and hired your favourite hero.” He winks.
The Other Side of The Veil
Death’s doors have been described as a multitude of scenarios: light at the end of a tunnel, loved ones waiting on the other side with open arms and smiling faces, one’s life flashing before their eyes and playing out like a movie… Izuku feels like his movie wouldn’t have been very noteworthy, a life lived quietly on the side-lines, regardless of it being his choice or not, always the background character no one pays attention to.
Major Character Death isn't technically permanent because of the existence of an Afterlife
It'll Be Fun
After revealing that he has never celebrated Halloween before, Shouto is dragged to a Halloween party organised by class 3A as a way to celebrate on their last year together, and Izuku picks out his costume.
Read With Me
Izuku starts hearing a smooth voice inside his head one day and thinks something is very wrong, until he realises... that's his soulmate. Their connection is quite the unique one, at least Izuku would certainly call hearing it recited at him whenever he is reading a book a unique soulmate connection. From what he hears, his soulmate doesn't read a lot of fun things, or any at all, really. Surely, their connection must be so he can fix that.
The Comfort of Your Touch
At the time, they were nothing more than a soldier and his commander, his Prince. But travelling together, side by side for so long, witnessing parts of one another that no others had ever been so close to understand… It certainly changed things.
Prince Todoroki Shouto seeks the comfort of Izuku's embrace when his demons haunt his dreams.
My Pet
Shouto comes home to find Izuku in a rather compromising position and decides it fit to teach him why he shouldn't engage in such activities without him.
All The Words Necessary
A fan confuses Shouto for an adult industry lookalike, his roommate seems to be more than a little familiar with his work, and apparently misunderstandings can happen when feelings seem more obvious to one than the other.
Cursed Blessings
There was a time, long ago, when gods listened to human’s prayers. The fabrics between the realms were thinner then, and beings such as the celestials held the power to traverse from one to another, to preform feats befitting of awe amongst those who were around to bear witness. Many thought them perfect, untouchable creatures better than humans in every sense, capable of wielding forces unfathomable to those around them.
I'm Fine
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, it’s just a sneeze, Izuku. Probably just allergies or something.” Shouto waves his hand dismissively, returning to his tea and gesturing with his head for Izuku to eat as well when he continues staring.
Or the one where Shouto is obviously really sick and keeps insisting he's okay, despite continuously catching fire.
A Sight For Sore Eyes
After a man breaks a witch's heart, she curses his entire male lineage to suffer excruciating pain when gazing upon the face of the one they love. Generations later, Izuku is a boy too quick to fall in love and suffering for the sins of his ancestor, cursed to hurt those he loves with the pain he feels by just looking their way. His only choice seems to be to live away from everyone, but it seems fate has other plans.
Another Step to the Future
Planning to launch a fashion collection to break away from his father's influence and be free to live his life how he wants it, young star Todoroki Shouto models Ashido Mina's newest mini collection after his photographer and secret boyfriend Midoriya Izuku introduces them in hopes of kick-starting their work relationship.
No Rest For The Wicked
Shouto’s name claws out of him in a scream that scratches his throat raw, finally the energy of One for All bursting through him, now that it’s too late, shattering the remnants of the ice that held around his torso as he leaps towards the rubble and lifts it in a fit of despair. His muscles lock at the sight of a hand surrounded by blood—so much blood, not again, not again, please not him—and his entire world comes crashing down around him, threatening to bring him to his knees once again.
Echo
Not trusting his voice not to crack miserably, Izuku gives him a little nod that turns into a shake of his head about halfway through. How is he supposed to be okay? The literal man of his dreams is literally standing right in front of him, fussing over him while blushing like a maiden after the absolutely lecherous activities they have engaged in more than once in his head.
Or a fic where soulmates exist and Izuku thinks he doesn't have one... until he almost literally steps out of his dreams.
In Your Arms
When there is only one bed in their hotel room when they go to a Hero Convention together, Shouto and Izuku decide there is nothing wrong with it. Though, they end up discovering a hidden comfort in sharing a bed when Shouto's past haunts his dreams mercilessly.
Lazy Sunday
Shouto and Izuku indulge in each other's touch on a lazy sunday afternoon after a dumb quiz sparks a stupid conversation.
From the same universe as Achievement Unlocked: Converted.
A Promise for the Future
Izuku and Shouto have a date on Christmas Eve.

The Roots That Clutch Anthology by laquearia
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
10 Nov 2019
Summary
Anthology containing:
A Plague On Both Your Houses
Todoroki Shouto does not get sick. He has never gotten sick at school before, and he is most definitely not sick now. How could he be? He’s one of the most hygienic people in the class—it’s a low bar, admittedly, but still. There’s no reason Shouto could possibly be ill in this lifetime.
It must be allergies. Right?
Right.
(In which Todoroki Shouto has really bad "allergies" and Midoriya Izuku is the Mom Friend Shouto needs but doesn't deserve. Canon compliant with The Roots That Clutch, but can be read alone.)
Success is Counted Sweetest
The thing about secrets, Shouto knows, is the longer you have to keep them, the harder they are to share.
(In which Todoroki Shouto is seventeen years old and stupid, and Midoriya Izuku has just gone through his first major growth spurt. Complete.)
The Roots That Clutch
It all starts with a suggestion.
(In which Midoriya proposes an unorthodox way to keep in touch with Todoroki after graduation, and feelings get a little more complicated as the years pass.)
Of Withered Leaves
I remember, he wants to say, but his tongue is thick and heavy in his mouth. His hands shake as he drops the phone to the floor with a clatter, the video still rolling, and he doubles over as a splitting pain spears him right in the center of his aching, torn chest.
I remember everything.
(In which Midoriya Izuku deals with the emotional fallout of losing his wife at the hands of a villain. Angst, The Roots That Clutch hidden scene post chapter 21.)
Half-Past Three
Shouto’s equilibrium shifts and he finds himself leaning back into a pair of strong arms that wind their way around the curve of his waist, fingers fisting in the fabric of the expensive shirt he’s sure he doesn’t own. He sees freckles and the thick silver slash of a scar stretched across knuckles.
Nausea creeps up his throat, the sweet-rot taste of bile painting the back of his tongue in bold splashes. No, he thinks, but his thoughts are seeping through a sieve too quickly for him to catch. No, no, no—
(Somewhere in the city, a timepiece strikes thirteen.)
(Or is it one?)
(In which Todoroki Shouto has a familiar nightmare and discovers that he doesn't know what he wants anymore. Compliant with The Roots That Clutch. Oneshot, complete.)
Time for You and Time for Me
Not real, Shouto tells himself as he traces the distinct edges of scars that traverse Izuku’s muscled forearm like arcs of the cruelest lightning. Not real, he repeats as he leans into the sensation of soft breath flowering across the exposed skin behind his left ear. There’s no way any of this is real.
Except that it is. It’s the realest thing Shouto’s ever felt in his life, and the warm, velvety contentment in his chest isn’t just a figment of his imagination.
He’s happy. Really, truly happy.
Maybe it’ll stop feeling weird someday.
(In which Tuesday is the best day of the week, and Todoroki Shouto comes to terms with being stupidly, unequivocally in love.)

Summary
What started as a simple "fork in the road" AU became a series and ate my life.
JSYK, this is a Sterek series, but they are an asexual-but-romantic pairing in an open relationship. Derek is asexual; Stiles has a FWB arrangement with Erica (with Derek's okay) but Derek and Stiles are in a committed, romantic relationship.
Here’s the official order! It gets a bit complicated because “Onwards and Upwards” is a series of shorts that take place throughout the series so chapters of it are wedged between different fics.

Anthology containing:
Coming Undone
Stiles deals with the aftermath of being abducted by Peter Hale and left for dead. It's harder than he would have thought to accept his place in the pack when he's convinced that he's the 'weak one' and can't protect himself. Fortunately, Scott and Sheriff Stilinski are there to help, and to nag Derek until he helps, too.
A Place We Call Home
Follow-up to 'Coming Undone'. Stiles and the others decide to expand the pack. There's this kid Derek met in a cemetery named Isaac... -Now with added Erica!-

Sequel to 'The One You Feed'. A sorcerer comes to Beacon Hills. When he seems to be targeting Stiles' pack, Stiles goes to Dr. Deaton for advice. But can the mysterious veterinarian really be trusted? (OMG I'm so bad at summaries, please forgive me if that's really melodramatic.)

When a friend shows up on Stiles' doorstep asking for help, Stiles knows he can't refuse. What he doesn't know is that he's walking into a trap designed just for him.
Thicker Than Water
Stiles is busy enough with his final semester of high school and his ever-growing pack without his grandparents showing up. He wants to keep them clueless about the supernatural to keep them safe, which won't be easy to do with a new killer stalking the streets of Beacon Hills...
Where the Heart Is
Nobody is more surprised than Derek when Cora turns up on his doorstep in Beacon Hills, to warn him about an alpha named Deucalion.
The Shade and his Daughter
Stiles is quite content knowing that Peter Hale is dead and in the ground, which is why it's a little disconcerting when Peter starts showing up in his dreams, telling Stiles that his daughter is in trouble.
Forgotten But Not Gone
Stiles starts losing his memories and nobody can figure out why or how to stop it.
The Devil's Luck
Another day, another mysterious series of murders in Beacon Hills ....
Part 13 of The Sum of its Parts, in which I have given up any semblance of sticking to the canon.
For Better or for Hearse

All That Remains
Stiles calls Oblivion. Nobody answers.
Part 15 of The Sum of its Parts.
