Summary
Midterms always sucked, no matter what the content was. That was the motto Kaminari Denki believed in, and no, not because he failed each and every one of his midterms throughout his life, but because midterms were just evil incarnate.
He didn’t really know why he sucked so much at exams. He was fairly decent at writing and not so decent at using his quirk, but he was trying. Didn’t that count for something? A for effort or some bullshit like that, right?
***
Izuku had always been an excellent student and never had trouble with written assignments. He excelled, to be quite honest.
It was also the only area he was allowed to excel at and not be mocked for doing good, but that was something else entirely.

Summary
"There you are, Midoriya Izuku."
By all means, it should have been the soft, calm way Kacchan spoke that clued him in. It should be the fact that he had not seen his childhood friend since that horrible night in the mountains where Izuku had been just too weak and slow to reach him in time.
But its not.
It's how the face and the hair were the same but the person hiding behind his eyes was different. What were once bright, lively eyes full of energy were now alight with something deceptive and sinister and wrong , hiding among familiar ruby red like a snake in the grass. The sight of that angular face, not darkened by its usual frown but smoothed out by eerie, unnatural, uncharacteristic calmness set the hair at the back of his neck on end.
Kacchan then smiles. It's a soft grin, as pliant and serene as the look in his eyes. It's the smile of someone who has all the time in the world. Someone who could do anything they wanted and they were confident that the world would bend to their will.
It's at that moment that Izuku understands that the person behind those eyes wasn't Kacchan at all.
(Or; In the face of mortality, All for One makes a decision.)

Summary
Kurosaki Ichigo had been gone a week, swiped from one second to the next from a street in Karakura without a trace left for them to follow. Now he was leaned against a tree in Soul Society and looked like he had been through hell. His robes were tattered and frayed as if years had passed, blood dripped from his limp left arm, and his hair was longer and uneven with knots of what she hoped was dirt and not clotted blood. His reiatsu was more wild and unthethered than she had ever seen.
In the end, he fails to protect everyone but somehow Ichigo has found his way back and has a chance to fix what was destroyed. Including himself.

Lan Huan is bitter. His warm smile warps into a malformed quirk of his lips, and his eyes are blank. He should have done something, anything. He knows now, don't trust so easily, or he would get hurt.
Or, a fix-it cause I can't bear to leave both of them hurting and alone. ABO to make things a lil more interesting!

Summary
In a world where witches are treated like Indentured servants, Young witch Tao is forced to become the caretaker of a group of supernaturals who seem to be nothing but hostile towards him. As things happen, Tao is forced to deal with events of his past and his family, while simultaneously trying to figure out what is going on with the new group of people he has to deal with.
Tao scoffed, he couldn’t believe the demanding tone in the words written on the paper. His job was to take care of the place, yes, but he had been instructed to do more than that. The owner had said Tao had to help the beings inside; with their schooling, their tasks, their appointments. There was no way he could do that without talking to them.
Sure, he had also been informed that all the previous caretakers had been scared away, but Tao wouldn’t be able to quit or leave. The man in charge had made sure Tao had gotten as little information as possible. He had no idea of who or what was in the house,nor their reason for being there instead of wherever they had come from. Maybe he would find out over time, but for now, he doubted it.
