    Summary

    The Stone Gryphon is a sprawling Spare Oom story of war, espionage, immoral acts done in service of moral ends, natural history, dinosaurs, Alice in Wonderland, cunning corvids, tequila, D-Day, theology, spirituality, love and sex. If the Dawn Treader can be on the wall of a spare bedroom in Impington, Narnia can be found in other places, too. The Friends of Narnia just have to learn where to look. And upon returning from Narnia, the Pevensies probably didn't just sit around waiting to die in a fiery train wreck.

    "No, no! The adventures first," said the Gryphon in an impatient tone: "explanations take such a dreadful time."
    L. Carroll, The Adventures of Alice In Wonderland

    "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
    Francis of Assisi

    "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
    "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
    "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
    "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Summary


    Izuku, Shouta, and Hizashi are in a queerplatonic relationship together; Izuku always revels in the cuddles and domestic moments that they get to share, how they all work hard to understand each other, and can comfort each other even on bad days.

    He's just so lucky to have his partners, really.

     

    (A wee birthday fic for the truly wonderful El - this was the idea I ended up settling on in the end, so I really hope you enjoy it!!)

    Summary

    After escaping All For One and the vault, Izuku has spent five years trying to outrun the people who would see him locked away for being quirkless...both from the government and his villainous father.

    However, everything changes when Izuku catches the attention of the Number One Hero and All Might's secretary, 'Toshinori Yagi.'

    Will he become the first quirkless hero, as he's always dreamed? Or will he spend his life locked away as a voiceless, quirkless pet? Either way, Izuku will not go down without a fight.
