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.)

A Cast for Your Heart by KTG

Summary
The windshield wipers screeched as they arched over the glass. The car was dinging, a light on the dash flashing. The engine was still running, so Katsuki quickly reached out and turned the key to shut it off. No telling what he’d damaged after sliding off the road and into the snow bank. The last thing he needed was for the gas line to catch fire.
He grumbled and leaned back, glad for his thermal coat, but cursing his parents out for wanting to spend the holidays in the asscrack middle of nowhere.
And now he was gonna freeze to death in his car.
Fucking wonderful.
OR A story in which Bakugou is a gay disaster and Kirishima is an oblivious Wolfskin (werewolf).
UPDATE: The first book is complete; a sequel will be released in July!
