Summary
Amanda leans on the counter and fishes out the money from the fishbowl, letting out a low whistle. “Lawrence tipped ten times his usual this time. You’re basically a sugar baby.”
“Shut up,” Adam says, but he’s smiling like he can’t help it.
“Hey, I don't care as long as he keeps up this rate,” Amanda laughs. “I don't even have to put out like you, slut.”
Adam's doing his usual shift at the local café where he works, when he gets a very welcome surprise visitor.

Summary
Because though Marvin thought he left all the hellish nightmares that were highschool (freshman to senior year) in the past when he graduated, he remembered that downtown was still in the LES. And the LES was much smaller than most people thought.
How he cursed this place.
Because he’d rather be anywhere else. Home, his room, Hell. Than be standing here, behind the counter.
With Eduardo standing by the doorway.
✆
Marvin wouldn’t have taken this stupid job if he knew he was here.

Summary
Every thirty to fifty years, a new generation of Light Guardians awaken. They are five people whose incredible powers are awakened when the first of three Abysmal Monsters rises from the shadows. Once the third has been defeated, they disappear and leave behind only stories and legends of their might and bravery.
This generation so far has seen only two: Sparkplug and Heavyweight, who don't seem to get along once the monster is slain. And when a third Light Guardian appears with a shadowy figure by her side to fight an incredibly strong Sadness, no one is sure what to think -- but everyone is sure going wild with speculations and theories. Has something happened to the Light Guardians? Why aren't they acting like a team? Why haven't the last two revealed themselves? Who is that shadowy figure?
And why did this have to happen right before midterms?

Izuku was a merman working at Starbucks, a green-haired merman working at Starbucks. Not that anyone knew that, of course, but the irony was not lost on him. He was just here to spend some time living among humans to learn their ways, and, honestly, get a break after fighting a war below the surface.
Well, it was a break until Bakugou Katsuki walked through the door, making Izuku want to run away to the depths of the ocean, anything to avoid facing the boy he had left behind several years ago without a word. Now Kacchan was a professional open swimmer, back in town preparing for the upcoming competition, and he wasn't going to leave Izuku alone, not as long as the nerd was working in the local Starbucks.
Should Izuku dare to rekindle the relationship? Was the secret of his people's existence worth a chance of love he had left on the shore, all those years ago? Did he even have a choice?
