    Summary

    Katsuki had always wanted to go to university. Izuku didn’t have a choice.

    Or, how devout Catholic Izuku who didn’t care much about college, and nihilist, atheist top student Katsuki meet again as young adults in law school, though two things widen the chasm between them: resentment over the past, and whatever secret fucking Deku was keeping.

    Summary

    "The soul is dyed with the color of its thoughts."
    – Marcus Aurelius

    Love. A repulsive, rotten feeling.

    Izuku.

    He is a breathing sin waiting to happen — the worst kind — the forbidden fruit. Hanging off of the tree of knowledge, with smooth bark glowing from the waxy, skin of a sweet, tart apple.

    After that gluttonous bite, the same bite that sent humanity spiraling, the one Katsuki did not learn to avoid from his furthest ancestors, he had seen himself clearly for the first time. Raw, unguarded, a part of something larger than he could comprehend at the ripe age of thirteen, completely stripped bare of innocence and cloth.

    That is when he realized, for the first time in his life, that he was attracted to something other than the feeling of victory under his aching palms.

    Summary

    The 1960s. The “greaser fashion” reigns everywhere. Good manners are replaced by leather jackets, tight jeans, cigarettes tucked behind ears, and hair slicked with brilliantine. At university, Izuku didn't expect to find an intimidating greaser in place of his childhood friend. But not all hope was lost. His appearance had changed, yes, but Kacchan hadn't — at least, not with Izuku.

    When an old rumor suddenly comes back to haunt Izuku, Katsuki does everything in his power to defend and protect him while hiding the reasons that drive him to do so. But what will he do if one day Deku discovers the secret he keeps under lock and key? How would he deal with Deku and, more importantly, with himself?
