midoriya izuku. / day 05: costume.

fandom: my hero academia pairing: midoriya x you tags: adultverse, shared apartment, fluff for @thedrabblecollective's challenge

"Can you stop messing with them?"

"I can't!" A yelp sounds from the small apartment bathroom. "It's like no matter what I do, they don't sit right."

Padding down the hallway, you eventually meet the sight of a frustrated Midoriya, his bunny ears askew; a recreation of his former hero costume. He turns with a pitiful noise, pointing at mangled green locks.

"See?"

"I can see the issue, yeah. Lose the ears."

"But it's a throwback event," Izuku argues.

Your lips purse. "You had the ears up, like, a total of ten times at school. You'll be fine without them."

Haunted Melodies - SPN

Disclaimer: I don’t own Supernatural and I make no money from this or any other fanfic I write Pairings or Characters: John Winchester Category: Light Angst Rating: G Warnings: None Title: Haunted Melodies Author: yellowhorde Notes: This was written for the November 2025 writing challenges over on Tumblr – Nostalgic November by @monthlywritingchallenges The Drabble Challenge by @thedrabblecollective Day 05 – A song you haven’t heard in years/Costume

The opening notes caught John Winchester unawares and, reflexively, he reached to change the channel. Then stopped.

The weight of memories settled, of his boys. Terror, violence and blood. But deeper, softer memories lingered, suppressed by an iron will, but not forgotten.

Mary in her witch costume, handing out candy. Slow dancing around the living room. Young Dean giggling, baby Sammy asleep upstairs.

A happiness he had longed for, searched for all his life. A family of his own.

John seldom cried at what Fate had dealt him. But when he heard this song, Mary’s favorite song, he always did.

THE END

Day 5: Costume

November 2025 Drabble Challenge

Fandom: Better Call Saul

Character: Mike/Nacho

Rating: Gen

Footfalls cut through the far-away hum of Albuquerque. Nacho, strutting through the building site like a sodium-tinted peacock.

“What’s with the costume?”

Mike gives him a withering look.

“Just been to a German Christmas market. Stupid,” he growls.

He reaches up to pull the bright red antlers away.

Nacho stops him. He flicks the headband, making bells on it jingle. His grin dips out of sight when he leans in. His whisper burns against Mike’s ear.

“Leave ‘em on, Cupid.”

A smile ghosts over Mike’s face. He allows it: Nacho can’t see.

“Business first. What have you got for me?”

Muted Serendipity Drabble

5. Costume

Le Comte was invited to another ball and therefore, Dawn was meant to accompany him. Her presence by his side and on the dancefloor dissuaded other women from hopelessly aiming to attract his attention. However, each event required Dawn to wear a new, unique ballgown. Le Comte claimed it was of no trouble to him, he could afford it. But, she saw it differently. Another dress meant another costume for her to wear. She was playing a part, but it did not come naturally to her. But, le Comte disagreed. “Même les étoiles scintillantes au-dessus ne peuvent égaler ta beauté.”

Day 5: Costume - @thedrabblecollective

This, as well as all of the other drabbles I’ll be doing for this challenge, are meant to be (out of order) parts of a novel I’m working on, so they probably won’t make much sense on their own.

The azure crystal of the tower was useful in that it hid Cedar from the manor, and perhaps also in that it hid the manor from Cedar, but in the first few days of her exploration of the mysterious structure she felt as if its walls were only a costume that could vanish at any second, revealing her to the world. Possibly, it was a result of the slight transparency of the tower, through which she could feel the sunlight, but Cedar felt exposed; She quickly became easy to startle, and frequently found herself craning her head over her shoulder.

Day 5. Costume

Challenge hosted by @thedrabblecollective Title: To Make This House a Home Fandom: Liselotte & Witch's Forest Characters: Liselotte Berenk, Hilde, Alto, Anna Rating: G Masterlist Read on AO3

"This is no formal dress, this is a costume!"

Hilde pouted at Alto's cutting remark.

"I thought Lise would look so pretty in this! If I had wanted to make a costume, I would have made... a cat costume!"

Liselotte held up the frilly pink dress against her body, smiling.

"Or a witch costume. I tried to make one once when I was little, but my brother..."

Her voice trailed off as she remembered the anger in Richard's voice and the fear in his eyes.

Anna gently took the dress from her hands.

"Don't worry, this would trouble him more."

100 Word Drabbles - The Drabble Challenge - Day 5

Prompt: Costume Writing Type: Fanfiction Fandom: Persona 5 Characters: Goro Akechi Content Warnings: None Challenge Host: @thedrabblecollective Divider Design: @saradika-graphics

AN: Please do not upload this to any other fanfiction or original writing site (Ao3, Wattpad, FFnet); this is currently only for Tumblr. I also do not consent to having this used to train any AI. Thank you.

They demand the Detective Prince's performance, and he will give it to them.

He schools his face into the one he crafted for these moments. His smile is charming and placating. His posture is perfectly straight. His eyes prepare for numerous closings, a sense of bashfulness to pair with the grin. Several surface-level jokes run alongside the questions he had been briefed with. Everything about this 'perfect hero' costume is designed to draw approval from people who would scorn his existence had they known anything else about him.

Once he's ready, Goro Akechi makes his way to the television's stage.

AN: This is my first time writing Persona 5 characters. Probably not the best idea to write something for Akechi with a strict 100 word limit considering his complexity, but I'm hoping to write more for him and the others in the future.
