ā© WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ā©
A collection of fics Iāve read (/reread) and thoroughly enjoyed in the past week-ish from all kinds of fandoms and genres.
ā©Ā rise up and hear the bells by redrobin1989Ā (Note: possibly the only time Iāll ever rec a quirkless Deku fic. Brilliant.)
ā⦠and in other news, this yearās Heroes Gala JP will be this upcoming Saturday night, celebrating those who made the Top 100. Explosion maintained his number one title for the third year in a row but the real surprise is Deku, everyoneās favorite, and only, Quirkless hero snagging the coveted Symbol of Peace title. Itās a controversial decision which we will be discussing in the days leading up to the event. After the break, our next guestā¦ā
Izuku had promised All Might that he would carry on his legacy as his successor, even after his mentorās death. It had been more difficult without a quirk but Deku had decided long ago that nothing so small would stop him from achieving his dreams. Now that he had actually made it though, he thought heād have a better idea of what to write for his acceptance speechā¦
helping handsĀ byĀ PitViperOfDoom
Class 1-Aās second day ends with a bang.
Area Man Always Has Backup Problem Just In Case by pepperfieldĀ (Note: Iāve recced this before but it just updated, so now itās finished and has a de-aging chapter!)
Even when youāre the best, being a hero can be trying at times, especially since thereās a whole world of wacky quirks out there to complicate things. Like body-switching. Or spontaneous de-aging.
The course of true rivalry never did run smooth.
[Three times Bakugou and Midoriya got entangled in some manner of bullshit at work, and one time things actually went pretty okay.]
Clothes Make The Man by PotterheadAvengerDemigod
Fuck, of all the shoots his classmates had to see, it had to be that one. It couldnāt have been an older one, where he could have brushed it off as something heād used to do in the past, or one where he didnāt look like he actually cared.
No, it had to be this fucking print.
Katsuki stands, and tries to leave the room.
/OR/ The one where Baku models for his parentsā fashion company and his classmates find out.
Stage Left! (Uh, your other left) by dormantchrysalis
Having Midoriya and Todoroki starring as romantic leads in their 2nd year school play wasnāt planned, that just happened.
But since the boys are in this situation anyway, why not meddle,Ā just a little, to get the oblivious idiots to admit their feelings to each other?
ā©Ā itās a new crazeĀ byĀ attheborderĀ (+podfic!)
CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there whoās been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan.
AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, weāve become quite popular, havenāt we?
CROWLEY: Yeah, just hit number eight on the advice charts ⦠No advertising at all.
AZIRAPHALE: Mm. How ⦠miraculous.
CROWLEY: ⦠Aziraphale. You did not.
Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.But what else is there to do when the world isnāt ending anytime soon, youāre technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who youāre definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?
I Will Have ThisĀ byĀ orphan_account
Just as she finished adding a small box of sweets to her items, she felt a tug on the sleeve of her robe. Turning, she had a smile prepared, and a praise on the tip of her tongue for whatever item her son had chosen. That turned into a sharp gasp when she realized that carefully ensconced in her sonās arms was not any item for sale in the shop, but a very human baby.
āMother, I will have this.ā
Obedience by Sohotthateveryonedied
Something isĀ seriouslyĀ wrong with TimāJason just knows it. Ever since the Mad Hatter incident, Tim has been acting completely different, and the worst part is that no one believes Jason when he tells them so.
But when the truth is eventually revealed, the whole family comes to realize that the situation is far worse than anyone could have ever predicted.
Catching Bees with Honey by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle
āSo let me get this straight,ā Arthur said, folding his fingers together as the man in front him awkwardly shifted. āYou are under the impression if you win the favor of my servant that you will then win my favor?ā He asked and the nobleman shifted again.
āWell, sire.ā He said āThat is the common consensus among⦠The chatter.ā
āThe chatter.ā Arthur repeated and his mind flashed to all the kindness Merlin had received from other nobles. Dear God.
Merlin has all of Camelot (and neighboring kingdoms) wrapped around his finger and Arthur is beginning to resign himself to the fact his servant somehow has more power than he does.
heart of a dragon by discordiansamba
Fate turns a little differently, and Zuko ends up being raised far away from the royal palace- and with dragons. But no matter how things change, one thing remains the same- that itās his destiny to teach the Avatar firebending, and to fight against the Fire Lord. Thatās the easy part. The hard part? Literally everything else.
(or, local feral firebender does his best)
