Summary
The kidnapping and murder of two UA students upends hero society overnight, shattering nearly a decade of peace.
Dynamight joins the commission investigation under Hawks to (quietly) surveil the staff at the principal's request, under the guise of a part-time teaching position. Katsuki accepts to honor his alma mater, definitely not because imagining that damn nerd isolating himself with guilt makes his chest feel like he just got out of surgery again.
The hastily rebuilt dorms welcome him back, this time to the teacher’s floor, and Izuku is too close again, just like when they were kids. He still sucks the air out of a room, is still magnetic even in his grief, even if this Izuku who lives to teach and not to save is someone Katsuki can’t fucking figure out how to talk to anymore.
But Katsuki is a problem solver. He can work on that, and he can find this sick bastard and stop him from killing again—as soon as he figures out why Izuku is disappearing through his goddamn window every night.

Summary
Izuku thought he’d be able to relax on Class 3-A’s graduation trip to the picturesque hot spring town of Kinosaki. As it turns out, it’s hard to enjoy anything when Katsuki is still ignoring him.
After two months of silence, Izuku is starting to assume the worst. Their lives are going in different directions now, after all. Maybe growing up for them means growing apart.
But when a mysterious quirk drops them into a version of Kinosaki that isn’t theirs, Izuku and Katsuki are shackled together closer than either of them are prepared for. While an inevitable threat hangs over the town, a tiny baby is thrust into their care. She's terrifyingly small, shockingly loud, and for some reason, has fair golden hair and green eyes.

Summary
There it was, that thing Qifrey did, where he offered a piece of himself wrapped in observation about someone else, like a gift hidden inside a gift, and you had to decide whether to unwrap the second layer or pretend you had only received the first. Olruggio had spent half his life learning to read these offerings and in doing so he had become the foremost scholar of a language spoken by exactly one person in all the world.
"I'm stubborn because someone has to be," he said. "You'd float away on your own mysteries if no one kept you tethered."
"Perhaps." The maddingly sad smile again. "Perhaps that's so."
In which Olruggio brings tea to Qifrey's study on a damp evening and finds him working in the dark again, the staff out and the fire dying.

Summary
“You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”
Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”
The rain continues falling.
(And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.
And Olruggio forgets.)
There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

Summary
Qifrey tries to catalogue all of the places they touch, reminding himself that the contact is no longer dangerous. Olly’s nose is slotted against his temple, fingers having moved from between his shoulders to the base of his head. There’s a slight tickle where the hair on his chin brushes against Qifrey’s cheek. The other arm is wrapped loosely around his middle, squeezing against his tunic. Their legs aren’t exactly tangled, but he can feel Olruggio’s calf against his own, a bony knee against his thigh, and the press of something warm and firm against his hip. His own body is an unfortunate mirror, the hour still early and the closeness still unfamiliar.

Summary
He didn’t want what Izuku was saying to be true—he could’ve figured that. “I didn’t want to, but it got assigned to me. I had no choice,” Izuku defended.
As quickly as the moment of confusion covered Katsuki’s face, it left. His expression contorted into something angrier, and he took a step back. “Why the fuck are you telling me this?”
Izuku is assigned to cover their school's ice hockey team. It should be easy, but Katsuki, his ex-best friend who's avoided him ever since Izuku quit playing years ago, is the varsity captain. To complicate matters, his friend and photographer, Ochako, takes a special interest in the team's alternate captain, Himiko.
What starts off as a cruel twist of fate turns into a rekindling of lost friendship, uncovering of old secrets, and a journey to find what keeps them apart (and brings them together.)
