â© WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP â©
A collection of fics Iâve read (/reread) and thoroughly enjoyed in the past week-ish from all kinds of fandoms and genres.
â©Â rise up and hear the bells by redrobin1989 (Note: possibly the only time Iâll ever rec a quirkless Deku fic. Brilliant.)
â⊠and in other news, this yearâs 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, everyoneâs favorite, and only, Quirkless hero snagging the coveted Symbol of Peace title. Itâs a controversial decision which we will be discussing in the days leading up to the event. After the break, our next guestâŠâ
Izuku had promised All Might that he would carry on his legacy as his successor, even after his mentorâs 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 heâd have a better idea of what to write for his acceptance speechâŠ

Class 1-Aâs second day ends with a bang.
Area Man Always Has Backup Problem Just In Case by pepperfield (Note: Iâve recced this before but it just updated, so now itâs finished and has a de-aging chapter!)
Even when youâre the best, being a hero can be trying at times, especially since thereâs 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 couldnât have been an older one, where he could have brushed it off as something heâd used to do in the past, or one where he didnât 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 parentsâ 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 wasnât planned, that just happened.
But since the boys are in this situation anyway, why not meddle, just a little, to get the oblivious idiots to admit their feelings to each other?

CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there whoâs been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan.
AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, weâve become quite popular, havenât 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 isnât ending anytime soon, youâre technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who youâre definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?
I Will Have This by 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 sonâs arms was not any item for sale in the shop, but a very human baby.
âMother, I will have this.â
Obedience by Sohotthateveryonedied
Something is seriously wrong with TimâJason 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
âSo let me get this straight,â Arthur said, folding his fingers together as the man in front him awkwardly shifted. âYou are under the impression if you win the favor of my servant that you will then win my favor?â He asked and the nobleman shifted again.
âWell, sire.â He said âThat is the common consensus among⊠The chatter.â
âThe chatter.â 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 itâs his destiny to teach the Avatar firebending, and to fight against the Fire Lord. Thatâs the easy part. The hard part? Literally everything else.
(or, local feral firebender does his best)
