    Summary

    Izuku had heard of the uncanny valley.

    Two words, meant to summarize a vast feeling of insurmountable description.

    The uncanny valley, at its core, was an instinctual feeling of wrongness humans experienced when seeing something non-human with human characteristics. Birds with mocking capabilities or emotionally intelligent AI could trigger it, or even other humans that were sick or dying.

    Izuku thinks there’s something more. When he looks in the mirror, he can see that the body in his reflection is identical to his own.
    When his reflection touches his face, he feels the caress on his own skin. When Izuku moves his arm, the reflection copies him.

    The reflection is real, yet it is not. It couldn't exist unless Izuku himself was there to give it life, to give it something to copy.
    If Izuku shattered that mirror, his reflection would cease to exist, erased.
    But it wouldn’t erase the feeling that Izuku got when he looked into the eyes of his own reflection.

    The uncanny valley was an instinctive response when seeing something non-human that was trying very desperately to pretend that it was.

    When Izuku looked in the mirror, all he saw was a ghoul.

    Summary

    Kaminari walks up to Todoroki in the hallway after class and says, “Dude, I need your help.”

    Todoroki checks over his shoulder, twice, to verify that Kaminari is indeed talking to him. “Why?”

    “Yesterday you asked Shinsou-kun if he was Aizawa-sensei’s son,” Kaminari says, as though that explains anything at all.

    “...yes?”

    “Make a hero conspiracy YouTube channel with me.”

    Summary

    His hand is tugged up, and moved so that it covers Deku’s mouth like a gag. He feels the other boy’s lips move, slowly. Repeating the same words over and over again.

    Dread spreads through his chest.

    Katsuki copies the movements with his own mouth, exhaling sound around them.

    “I...can’t—” Katsuki stops. He is staring, but he knows he is not staring at Deku’s face. Who knows what he's staring at. He doesn’t know either.

    “You can’t speak,” he says for Deku, and feels the other boy’s head move in an exaggerated nod.

    This, Katsuki thinks, is pretty fucking bad.

    Katsuki is blinded. Izuku is muted. Both of them are kidnapped. Things get worse.

    Summary

    With weak knees, Felix tries to get to his bed but his muscles fail him and he ends up clambering along the wall for support. He growls and lets his back slide down the wall, too tired to make a second attempt. Gently, he leans his head back until it hits the wall and he closes his eyes.

    I’m in love with him, then? Felix thinks. Is that what all that has been?

    ***

    Felix has done all he can to pluck out the persistent and dangerous feelings he's harbored for Sylvain since they were children, but the saints have other plans as Felix starts coughing up flowers that will lead him to an early grave. Certain he has no hope of recovery, Felix hides his condition from the others as best he can.
