Summary
Without saying anything, Polites wrapped an arm around his friend and buried his face in his shoulder. He could feel his eyes watering. "I'm tired of the war. I'm tired of the dying and the screaming. And I hate, I hate arguing with you."
"We're not arguing," Odysseus said at once, his voice softer than before. His hand was warm, stroking his back. "You're my best friend."
"And you're mine," Polites whispered.
***
Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this
"You can't escape this, Polites. If you do, everyone will die."
She sounded sorry. Polites wondered if it was for him, or for the succession of days that would wilt the flowers on her crown."I'll do what I have to," he promised.
***
Or: The story where Polites betrays Odysseus, Patroclus and Achilles have a hope of a happy ending, and a doctor is traumatized.

Kismet can't tell what's real anymore.
She has to choose between faith and logic, but fear what will happen to those she leaves behind holds her back.

Only one thing is certain: saving this new world would cost her everything.--------------

Shouto got a True Dud Quirk Awakening during The USJ Shitstorm thing that happened a week ago now....

Summary
Eijirou Kirishima had multiple titles, in various languages and various names, in multiple cultures.......
Of course, most of these titles are the results of Delusional Quirk Madnesses in mentally ill sick people from people that have Inhumanly Spirited Innate Quirks.....
According to Delusionally Quirk Maddened people, Eijirou Kirishima is A GREEK GOD.....
"TECHNITIS".....
The Greek Word for Artisan.....
Of course, Nobody knows who "Technitis" is but, both Sane and Insane people all around the world encountered Eijirou's Creations and Monster Slayer Metal Alloys that was never invented prior to Eijirou picking up a hammer as a 12 year old kid....
Even though he was more well-known as "Technitis" by Delusional Quirk Maddened people, Eijirou's Favorite Name or Title of his shit is ya know....
"ELISALI"......
A Masculine Hebrew Name that meant "God Is My Salvation" or "God's Oath"......
Only Sane or Insane Jewish People call Eijirou this way and only Jewish People regardless of their sanity or lack thereof call Eijirou's stuff "A Pagan Folktale" in their logic....

Summary
Yuga Aoyama was embarrassed by his own appetite for food and how he was constantly sleeping......
Oddly Enough, everyone else was strangely accommodating to Yuga's increased hunger and stronger desire to sleep...
Naturally due to the appetite and constant sleep, Yuga was rapidly gaining weight and not in a good way........
So apparently, Yuga Aoyama somehow BROKE QUIRKED FATE ITSELF by wearing something he definitely shouldn't, especially as a Quirkless Kid at birth.......
Yuga Aoyama, before The School Year started, wore this Enhanced Crown called this....
EVEDON.....
Ever since Yuga put The Evedon Crown on his brow, he had ZERO PAIN in his head or body.....
Apparently, these Three Old Ladies called The Morai Sisters got sane from Permanently Delusional Quirk Madnesses in their lives due to Evedon being designed and created for Yuga Aoyama personally.....

Summary
Tenya Iida has many secrets that he had for years now......
For one thing, All Biological Iida Family Member Quirks actually LOSE THE ENGINES if they have a Two-Stage Manifesting Quirk or A Quirk Awakening.......
This is important because Tenya actually had a Two-Stage Manifesting Quirk that lost those engine legs whenever he was 12 years old but he used his "Blue Superman Kid Form" that's Immune to Transformation Straining that everyone else knew him to be even his own family shitstorm that didn't know that Tenya had such things occur...
A another important thing is that all of these Percy Jackson books ACTUALLY HAPPENED in The Dawn of Quirks Era 200+ years ago and all of these Immortal Whitewater Family Shitstorm Members are Delusionally Quirk Maddened into believing to be Greek Gods and Goddesses......
Naturally, Tenya whenever he learned of The Whitewater Family Shitstorm in American Culture as a 12 year old boy, he went apeshit in his TRUE FORM even though nobody connected the dots to his true identity.......
Tenya Iida was considered to be A GREEK GOD to these delusional people.....

Summary
Natsuo Todoroki, a 19 year old dude, got the following status from his Medical School......
"PERMANENT MENTAL HEALTH SABBATICAL: DUE TO LONG TERM MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS AND CHRONIC ABSENCES".....…
Why Though???????
Ever since Natsuo turned 12 years old, everyone in his entire family shitstorm treated him like a Goddamn Sick Child......
It's actually HIGHLY ANNOYING......
Natsuo is a SANE MAN......
Like sure, Natsuo had some impulse control issues but that's probably due to unresolved trauma bullshit due to being in The Todoroki Family Shitstorm.......
Like sure, Natsuo had some laziness regarding his schooling shit but that's probably due to that one phenomena called Gifted Kid Burnout.....
GOD........
Natsuo is fucking trying desperately here.....
Ya know what....
Fuck this.......
Natsuo Todoroki is treated like a child, fine then he'll just fuck off to HIGHSCHOOL LIFE AGAIN, in a disguise......
Off to U.A. High School!!!

Summary
“You were pinning me down.” Ed sat up on his hands and clenched his jaw, telling himself his logic was sound as he transmuted his blade away. “And I was trashing.”
“Oh, yeah?” Envy mirrored his words from earlier, and to Ed’s mortification, let his eyes slip lower down the human’s lap. “A scrappy, little thing like you likes to pick fights. You do this with all the bad guys?”

Summary
A life full of toil and struggle was what he knew, leading to his doom. However a deity of light offers a chance to turn back time and live a better life while also trying to stop elements that threaten the stability of reality, which one of his siblings, a being of dark, tried to do recently.
See how those goals with the knowledge of a familiar future and newly formed bonds (of which he is still apprehensive about) lead to a more illustrious future, diverting the dark uncertainties of the upcoming plot out on the way… -

Summary
Kim Hajin is a failure. There's no two ways to look at that objective truth. It's a truth that resonates through how others look at and ridicule him. It's a truth that echoes infinitely inside his head, compounding and doubling down on his inadequacies. It's a truth, despite the unconditional love of two parents that soothe but cannot dispel those haunting doubts.
Kim Suho is simply perfection. The desperate vessel and ideal of Hajin's "ifs" and wishes. Because Kim Suho, the protagonist of Hajin's novel, is everything Hajin wants to be for his parents and more. But, that story falls apart at the seams the same way Hajin has lost faith in himself.
Yet, as the common narrative dictates, everything begins anew with an innocuous email requesting to remake Hajin's novel.
***
Alternatively, the extremes of Korean culture break Kim Hajin into someone who feels much more acutely, and everything shifts to the left.
