"Screw timing!" Bakugou says. "Some things you just gotta go for."
Izuku scrubs at his eyes. "How did you guys… how did you know?"
Bakugou and Kirishima exchange a glance. "Know what?" Kirishima asks.

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.

"Who's there?!" Hinata demanded, braver than he felt. "Show yourself!"
A figure, tall and broad, materialized from the darkness. As the light made his features manifest, Hinata realized part of the sheer breadth of him was leant by the sumptuous cloak draped over his shoulders. A cold dark gaze glared down at him, an otherwise picturesque mouth bared in a snarl.
"What are you doing in my castle?" the King growled.

Katsuki keeps brushing his thumb idly across Izuku's cheeks. Despite all the abuse his body has endured, it's this single, whisper-light touch that makes Izuku feel like this is it; this is what will break him entirely. "Izuku?"
"...Yeah?"
"I think I might be a fuckin' idiot," Katsuki says.
"Don't—" Izuku starts to say, but before he can argue against Katsuki trying to put himself down (Izuku will never allow this), Katsuki leans in and presses their mouths together.

Even though Katsuki is alive and well, Izuku's thoughts keep him up at night.

Earlier this year, I made the decision to quit my job and focus fully on writing.
It sounds pretty simple and easy when I put it that way… BUT I AM NOT CALM!!! I'm excited, I'm nervous, but most of all I'm hopeful. I love writing, but the past few years I've gotten more and more disconnected from it, despite how much I missed actively doing it. But even through the times when it was hardest, when life was at its lowest and darkest for me, I still continued to feel the love and support from the community that made me enjoy writing more than any other: fandom.
So the first thing I knew I wanted to tackle when I could finally focus all my attention on writing again was finishing my fanfic The Job, a story now ten years in the making (seriously, I checked my Google docs timeline), and five years waiting to be completed. And so it shall be, because I finished writing the epilogue for it as of today.
The second thing I knew was that I wanted to continue writing fanfiction for as long as it's feasible.
And the third thing that I think I owe myself is to finally sit down and write a completely original story, one that's all my own to share.
To that end, I've decided to start a Patreon, where I will be posting both my original content and fanfic. All my fic will still eventually get posted to AO3, but WIPs and stories that take longer to finish will be uploaded on Patreon as I write them. And I've already started writing an original novel that I'm extremely excited to share with you guys first, as the readers who've been with me the longest. Here's a peak at the cover (title—and pretty much everything else about this—very non-finalized):
[PICTURE OF NOVEL COVER HERE]
I'll be providing more updates during this month as I get ready to launch my Patreon page! And of course, stay tuned for more videos, more news, and the final chapters of The Job, coming very, very soon.
Much love,
Esselle
[As always, I'll be more accessible on other platforms than Tumblr. Check my Linktree for all socials!]
