Summary
It's a dog-eat-dog world, but somehow, they’ve made it this far. With the criminal underworld heating up, they’ll fight as dirty as they have to in order to protect what’s most important. It's just too bad that he’s so good at rushing headlong into danger.
____________________“The hell are you doing here?” Katsuki asked, the only logical question he could force past his lips. He drank him in and tasted all the flavors, noting the differences in the recipe since the last time. He had the back of his hair in a close fade to tidy it up, and piercings dangled from his ears with a prominent diamond stud sitting pretty on his right ear lobe. But his face, that blinding, choking, vibrancy radiated from him just the same. Just the fucking same, holy hell.
“Working,” Izuku shrugged, like it’s not a big thing, just a regular Tuesday night. Not whatever the fuck was happening right now.

Summary
After his hometown in Galahd is attacked, it's only natural for Harry to answer the King's call to arms and join the Kingsglaive. Somewhere along the way, he falls in love, gains a captaincy, and defies the Astrals themselves.
____________________Galahd may be his home, but even he would admit it was a bit of a shithole this time of year. It never stopped fucking raining. His feet squelched loudly in his boots with every step, an unwanted reminder that he’d need to tell his troops to keep their feet up tonight. He wasn’t going to have men dying to trench foot on his watch.
"Camp is made, sir," Sleepy saluted as he gave his report.
Harry nodded in dismissal, hiding a smile when the young man slunk immediately to his cot and passed out, most likely for the rest of the night. Bastard was already snoring, too. At least he landed with a nickname that both suited him and wasn't wildly inappropriate. For perhaps the thousandth time since he got promoted to Captain, he wondered why in the hell Hot Cock hadn't strangled one of the other guys when they started throwing that little gem around. Most likely, he kept the name out of spite.

Summary
What if Ryuji was the trickster instead of Joker? How would Ryuji stop the world from going to ruin? Would the phantom thieves succeed without Joker guiding them?
Or the one where Ryuji falls in love with the new transfer student who is, of course, already taken and does his best to be the leader of the phantom thieves, take care of his mom, and not fail his exams.
____________________Then it happened. Ryuji would admit, even to his Mom, that he fell in love a little that day.
The transfer student sighed this huge put-upon sigh. He looked right over Kawakami’s shoulder, straight into Kamoshida’s nasty, hungry gaze, and he held eye contact for a solid five seconds. Then, he lifted his middle finger in the bastard’s line of sight, turned around, and flat out walked away before anyone could gather their wits enough to punish him. The teachers sputtered and shouted as he disappeared down the stairs, and Ryuji swooned while speculating the sheer size of the guy’s balls. Really, they must be HUGE. And hairy. And the epitome -is that how you use that word? - of masculinity!
The best part? Kamoshida’s face had twisted into something ugly and hateful and not at all satisfied. Ryuji loved it.

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
Umino Iruka regarded the man standing before his shop counter with what was probably poorly-veiled irritation.
"Yes, thank you," he said. "I know how a triple-layered chakra lock works."
Long years of experience kept Iruka's tone even: losing his temper meant losing customers, even if there weren't very many people in Konoha who did what he did.
* * *
The canon-divergent au in which Iruka graduates the academy, does 3 D-rank missions, and then retires, because his leg was badly crushed in the kyuubi attack—so he re-trains as a locksmith and makes chakra-manipulated locks.
A story about systemic structural power imbalances between shinobi and civilians and the various ways in which expectations of physical strength and implicit ableism are detrimental to community trust. In which Iruka finds himself stuck between worlds, all because Sharingan Kakashi demanded the impossible, and Iruka made him a quadruple-layered chakra lock.

Fan-flipping-tastic. All the hallmarks of a mystery story wrapped around a gooey “adopt the spider” center.
10/10 🍺
