    Summary

    They discuss it with the doctor first.

    Obviously they do, generally you don’t get a diagnosis like that and run to tell the book club right off.

    So they go to the doctor, and do the tests he asks for, and agree to a treatment plan, and take the reminder card for an appointment to come back next Monday and confirm the schedule for everything.

    Summary

    Beneath the paper were two mockeries of the human form, bulbous and disfigured as though amalgamated from a thousand half-formed things. Their surfaces were rough and mottled, in places sharp and jagged and in others swollen and round. Ink-black shiny protrusions gave the impression of eyes, but not of eyes that wished to see anything so frivolous as the tangible world.

    Jon regarded them, deeply unsettled.

    Tim, on the other hand, picked them up immediately without an ounce of trepidation on his face.

    “What do you think they’re meant to be?” He touched the two headlike protrusions together. “And do you think they explored each other’s bodies?”

    Sasha let out an upset whine.

    Summary

    It was easy to admit that he missed Gordon more than he’d ever missed anyone in his entire life. At times it felt like his very heart had been torn from his chest and replaced with something bitter and heavy. A block of lead behind his ribcage. Warren was finally starting to become okay with that, too.

    Summary

    "That's a point to you not being a trap, now I think of it. Not exactly a good seduction plan, insulting me on the first meeting."

    Gordon chokes on the air, on his own saliva, on something. "Seduction plan?!"

    "I did call you handsome."

    "You said I looked like a Reddit moderator!"

    "Well, yeah, but that was all because of the bad suit and the haircut and the – " Warren waves his hands around. "There was potential there, is what I'm saying, I mean look at you now, you're all cardigans and curls and dimples and – big hands and – "

    Summary

    Jon had searched, at first. He’d scoured every remote corner of the internet, feeling for all the world like Martin falling through that basement window, only ever to resurface empty handed. Then he’d moved on to libraries, public records, museums, and archives. He’d searched.

    But this is not his London, it's been five years, and the part of him that had felt cinched to the Eye like a fish hook through flesh is scarred over like the wound in his chest. The Knowing is gone. Some days Jon still feels like a junkie, hands clammy as he fumbles to light his cigarette at dawn, just as desperate for the fizzing static of Knowledge as if he’d been caught with a needle in his arm.

    There’s nothing here of that world they’d left behind, except Jon, and his scars, and he thinks one day as he butters toast with sweaty palms that he should probably start carving himself as much of a space here as he dares. He’s never had to try before, to leave a mark, because he’d always rather felt marked, and its absence leaves a hollow feeling under his ribcage.


    “Where you go, I go” turns out to be more complicated in execution than in theory, and good things come to those who wait.

    Summary

    There’s a new hire in Research. He’s small, and that is the word. He isn’t short, or squat – scrawny is closer to the mark but implies a sort of wiry lopsidedness that doesn’t fit right. He’s just small, like if you took an average sized person and scaled them down. He walks with a cane and keeps his head lowered. He wears some sort of brace or glove on his right hand. Silvery marks pepper his neck and jaw. He doesn’t seem to talk much.

    “I’ve got a name,” Sasha reports, perching on the side of Tim’s desk. She’s just back from a coffee-machine gossip with Rachel, who had been ignored by the new hire in favour of staring at his shoes. “Jonathan.”

    “Compensating for size with syllables, classic move.” Tim peers around her to mentally affix the name to the hunched figure curled into the corner desk. “Word of advice, avoid at all costs a one-night stand with an un-shortened ‘Bartholemew.’”

    Summary

    The eight hour time difference is hard to keep up with. Even when their days overlap, Izuku is training or Rody is working. Phone calls are hard to come by, video chats even more rare. Texts are easy, but letters are nice. It’s more personal to write a letter.

    OR Izuku gets a postcard from Rody, and the two start writing to each other (and maybe reunite).

    Summary

    The woman before Toshinori studied him with her strangely piercing eyes for a long moment. He felt her gaze trail over his furrowed brows, his perpetual frown, his hunched shoulders, and the bouquet of flowers he thumbed sadly.

    “He meant a lot to you,” she said.

    “Of course,” Toshinori murmured, trailing a bony finger among the flower petals in his grasp. “He was everything to me.”

    “I know what it’s like. To lose someone dear to you,” she said. “So many things I wish I could’ve told them before they passed.” She had a distant look in her eye.

    “I just wish… I just wish I had more time…” There was a deep exhaustion to his words. His shoulders slumped impossibly further, like he was Atlas, bearing the weight of the sky.

    Time travel doesn't work the way people think it does. The past, as it turns out, is a stubborn, immutable thing. A stranger with a peculiar time travel quirk gives Toshinori one more chance—not to save his successor, but to say a final goodbye.

    Summary

    Tears along the fabric of reality weep nebulae. Veins of stars pulse and throb like wounds.

    It’s bleeding, Izuku realizes with widened eyes.

    The universe is bleeding.

    The heroes might have won the war, but the prevention of one world-ending event does not lower the likelihood of another occurring.

    No amount of training or firepower can prepare them for the sky tearing open. There are some problems you can’t smash away. But no matter what happens, Class 1-A sticks together.

    Or: Izuku and friends wait for the end of the world side by side.

    Summary

    To call Enji Todoroki’s murder a scandal would be to understate it. To call it a national obsession would come much closer, yet still fail to capture a certain spirit around it.

    It was an obsession of public conscience, with a frenetic, itchy, almost shameful energy roused from an entire society now reminded of the scandal 10 years back when Enji's eldest son took to the airwaves and revealed, in gruesome detail with a series of recorded tapes, the depths of Enji Todoroki’s domestic abuse. A scandal which Enji had gotten away with, entirely.

    Suddenly, seeing the image of this man, now crumpled small and dead and ugly beside the dumpster of a waterlogged and grimy alley, sent him to the dogs. This man who was now no one’s hero and no one’s protector was no one worth protecting, anymore.

    But perhaps the sad and ugly figure he cut dead and bloody in the putrid alleyway was only a fraction of the explanation for the public revolt against Enji. The stronger reason, alive where Enji was now dead, came in the form of the main suspect and man accused of Enji’s murder: his youngest son and the Number 2 Hero Shouto Todoroki.

    Summary

    Sentinel is the vigilante. 

    He’s the one who inspires all the rest of them, the one who everyone aspires to be, the good one, if you ask even other pros and they thought nobody important was listening. 

    He has the world convinced that he’s Robin Hood, targeting people and entities who usually throw money at consequences until they go away, who are protected by laws they lobbied and pressured into existence, who have enough raw capital that they can dodge any law enforcement that they want. Sentinel is the champion of the small and the hidden, ally of investigative journalists and muckrakers, the bane of bullies and abusers. 

    Enji might’ve respected him, if the guy cared enough about his own actions to actually become a registered pro.

    Pro-Hero Endeavor is called by the Hero Commission to deal with an old vigilante rival of his. He really wishes he'd just said no when they asked him to do it.

    “I found… the message… tells where the cure is… but they got me.” Todoroki says, and Kirishima gasps in horror.
    “He’s been bitten.”
    “No!” Izuku protests, the paper crunching in his grip. “We— we can go and find the cure, right? We can save him!”
    “There isn’t enough time. Not for him.” Kirishima says, reloading his gun.
    “It’s… okay. Do it.” Todoroki says.
    “You can’t!” Izuku shrieks.

    The door slams open, and the barricade of pillows collapses from Iida’s heavy steps as he bursts into the room; his eyes flicker over the group of them and their nerf guns.
    “What’s happening?” he asks.
    “We’re playing zombie apocalypse.” Kirishima says.
    “Join us!” Todoroki suggests.

    The end of the world, but not really.
