Summary
Kageyama Tobio only loves a few things in life: computers, movies, and interacting with other people as little as possible. So when he meets hotel employee Hinata Shouyou on a work trip and doesn't immediately hate him, it comes as something of a shock. Hinata is everything Tobio isn't—outgoing, worldly, and sexy AF. Even more surprising is the part where Hinata seems to be just as interested in him in return, plunging Tobio into the kind of whirlwind attraction he's only ever seen in films, and certainly never experienced for himself.
Tobio doesn't know why Hinata would want anything to do with him, but he can't stop himself from falling for Hinata's movie star-level charisma… and the air of mystery that surrounds him. Because for all their chemistry, there's something holding Hinata back, making him push Tobio away.
But Tobio is used to keeping people at arm's length, so he might be able to figure out how to get Hinata to let his guard down—and prove that he can be more than just some nerd Hinata met on the job.

Summary
Todoroki: There was a girl trapped inside. He went back to rescue her.
Todoroki: And then he saved my life, too.
Sero: what lol
Uraraka: oh my gosh?????
Kaminari: ?????????
Ashido: ??????????
Iida: How? He was just a civilian!
Todoroki: uh
Todoroki: Science?
Sero: ………
Kaminari: …are you gonna expand on that more or
Todoroki: It was badass.--
Of course the hottest topic of gossip in the Class A group chat after a civilian saves Shouto's life is "Just who was that little green dude and why is Todoroki so fixated on him?" As his loyal former classmates, they cannot rest until they find out.
[Or: Todoroki's POV during the events of "Thanks for Saving Me", uncovered through texts with friends.]

Summary
"Tobio?" Shouyou gasps. "Tobio of the Blue Oak Clan?"
Shouyou has seen him several times before, when Blue Oak has come to trade with Crow. Tobio always stood behind their leaders, silently towering over the rest, much taller than any of Shouyou's tribe (except Kei, but Tobio is nearly twice as broad). He is a warrior befitting his tribe of fighters, legendary hunters all. Even when he's lying down Shouyou can see how tall he is, and how sturdy.

Summary
"I wish I could go to the royal ball for Prince Izuku," Shouto finally told the fairy.
Katsuki screwed up his face. "That's it?" Shouto nodded. "Why?"
"It seems fun."
"It's not going to be fun." Katsuki scowled. "It's going to be terrible. You have to have a better wish."
"I want that one," Shouto said.
--
Todoroki Shouto is cursed. Since he was five years old, he's been locked away from the rest of the world to keep his out of control magic a secret. He thought he could be content with his storybooks—until an invitation comes from the royal palace, inviting his family to attend a ball for Crown Prince Izuku.
Shouto wants to go; he wants to be normal; he wants to leave his cage. Most of all, he wants to know what it's like to live in a fairy tale, even if it's only for one night. Fortunately, he's about to meet one pissed off fairy named Katsuki, who's been watching Shouto his whole life and waiting to make his wish come true.

Summary
As the son of a huge rockstar, Shouto has grown up determined to escape being signed to his dad's record label. When he's accepted to a fine arts university to study the violin, three things become clear: he's free, he's tragically awkward, and he's thirsty as hell. Now that he can do whatever—or whoever—he wants, he doesn't know where to start. But when Bakugou Katsuki catches his eye from behind a drum set at a concert, Shouto starts to learn that making bad decisions can feel pretty damn good.

Summary
They stopped, and Wheeler put her hands into the pockets, considering. “Well, no. You can do pretty impressive stuff while only knowing the basics. But it’ll only do you good trying.”
She said that like she had a specific person in mind, like she was a witness. And Neil understood. He understood that it was a story that started its pinwheeling in a past where he was absent; from then on, many things were better to keep as secrets, and he had to earn trust if he wanted to have it.
(Yet another retelling of what happened post-film)

He understands, intellectually, that other people must do something with their day that doesn’t involve working out or getting beat up by super-powered mutant criminals or harassing one’s boyfriend into fucking them sideways. It’s just that he can’t quite picture doing it himself.

Summary
"Why are you like this?” Bakugou exclaims, throwing his hands up in the air.
He’s not sure if the question is rhetorical at his own expense or if Bakugou’s actually wondering—the look on his face is almost identical in both cases.
Before Shouto can even open his mouth to respond—he’s waffling between “Like what?” for maximum Bakugou-annoyance or “It’s the trauma.” because of the one time it made Kaminari laugh so hard he cried—Bakugou is already talking over him, scrubbing a hand down his face and sighing like talking to Shouto is the hardest thing he’s ever done.
“Don’t fuckin’ answer that. I know why you’re like this.”
Problem solved. Shouto says nothing.
*
Or, a temporary team-up leads to certain feelings-based revelations for both reluctantly involved parties. A conversation is also had. Sort of.
Shouto is of the opinion that they should just kiss about it before they do anything else.
