Summary
Anthology containing:
Checks and Balances
Izuku Midoriya was a competitive cheerleader up until an injury to his hand made tumbling and stunting an impossibility. It's devastating to think that cheer could be out of his life for good—until a pair of enthusiastic classmates show up at Izuku's dorm room with a signup sheet for a new club: hockey cheerleading. All that's left to do is learn how exactly hockey works...and try not to think too much about the prodigious freshman right wing, who's just about the most wonderful person Izuku's ever met.
Shouto Todoroki has eaten, slept, and breathed hockey his whole life. He's got a legacy to live up to with his pro-hockey old man, and he's no stranger to the scrutiny and expectations of his coaches and teammates. It's different now that he plays for UA, though. He's got a former pro coach who sees potential in him and teammates who might actually like him as a person. Then there's the cheerleading captain, who's kind and compassionate in a way Shouto's never known—and who won't rest until Shouto stops dismissing hockey as nothing more than his old man's game.
The Road to Varsity
UA's hockey team is legendary, so much so that their all-freshman JV team basically plays a tryout season. Players either move on to Varsity or see the end of their college hockey careers. Everyone keeps telling Shouto Todoroki that he's a shoo-in for Varsity, but nothing is guaranteed in hockey. He'll have to work harder than ever to take his spot. At least when the pressure looms over him, he knows he can lean on the person he loves for support.
Turning in competitions for cheering on the sidelines at hockey games was an easier transition than Izuku Midoriya expected. He fell in love with the game and the JV team's star player. Sometimes he misses stunting and tumbling. It's hard not to think about what life at UA would have been like if he'd been able to compete on the varsity cheer squad. Then again, things have a way of working themselves out.
For a price.
