Summary
"Fucking roofie my friend and then start a goddamn fight with me? Oh hell no, fuck that shit. I gave as good as I got, if not better. I know I split that douchebag’s lip and I bet he’s got a brutal shiner too. A head taller than me and forty pounds heavier, my ass.”
Ron muttered, “Maya, language…” but she gave her uncles a hard smile. “The police officer asked me where I learned to fight like that.”
Her eyes went to the one uncle who’d remained hovering at the foot of the bed, hands clasped behind his back. “Thanks, Uncle Pete.”Brothers, Chapter 4

This is a fic where Izuku and Katsuki make up before middle school and Izuku takes a different path than UA. It follows cannon events, but with my own little twists. And best friend Izuku and Katsuki stuff.
Excerpt:
W.W.A.M.D (What. Would. All. Might. Do.)?
This has been Izuku’s phrase for the past few weeks.
And he knew what he would do.
“One more chance.” He said, his voice springy with hope, “But if you’re mean again, then no more.”
Katsuki nodded. Katsuki's eyes were filled with more vulnerability that Izuku has ever seen.
“Don’t worry. I don’t plan on it. Ever.”Updates every Monday by 7:30 (KS time idk how time zones work)

Summary
They have won the war and yet Hermione is stuck feeling broken and certainly not the girl she was before Hogwarts, let alone the girl before the second wizarding war. Many speculations arose whenever two major war heroes spoke in favor of Narcissa Malfoy and their Slytherin classmates. Many more assumptions came to light the days following those trials whenever one of the war heroes disappeared from the wizarding world's eyes. The wizarding world gave the previous 7th year students a decision. Take your N.E.W.Ts / go straight into a career or return to Hogwarts to receive your final year of schooling. Hermione finds herself back on the Hogwarts train after her mind healers put her onto a medical probation. Even though she had ginny and luna with her, Hermione finds herself not wanting to return without Harry and unsure how to navigate her new housing dorm.
L’Amour est plus fort que tout. Those are the words his mother always spoke to him. Love is stronger than anything. From a young age, his mother would urge him to think about those words whenever he made big decisions. During the worse moments of his life, it was those few words that he spoke aloud in his mind. Clinging to the hope that they would be true.
