Summary
Toothless has worked as hired security during dragon raids for the last couple years—well, he got paid to protect some buildings and some farms whenever the dragons attacked. It was the only way he could currently pay the town back for their kindness of feeding and housing him, so he didn't say no when Bandit, the local blacksmith, asked him to watch the forge during the next raid. Someone had been taking advantage of the chaos to steal materials, and it was his job to stop them.
Toothless realizes he might be in way over his head when he actually lays eyes on the thief.

Summary
Izuku doesn't know why the day keeps resetting. He doesn't know why he's trapped on campus, or why there's no phone reception, or why Aizawa and Shinsou keep losing their memories of the Saturdays they've already lived, while Izuku remains constantly, painfully aware.
But he does know this: Aizawa and Shinsou keep dying, over and over again, in more brutal and creative ways. And it's his job to save them.

Summary
(Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)
Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”
“Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”
“Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”
“I-I’m what?! W-wait!”
tl;dr
Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

Summary
The home decor store was on the verge of closing and Hitoshi had been discussing dorm room sizes with Midoriya here in the doorknob aisle for an uncomfortably long amount of time. Despite that, they still had no idea how much paint they needed to buy.
“I still think that ‘you can fit at least five Porta Potties in it’ is a good unit of measurement for a room.” Midoriya insisted as the cashier checked out their stuff.
This was going wonderfully.
When Midoriya Izuku offers to help Hitoshi paint his room upon his transfer to the class 1A dorms, Hitoshi decides that what the hell, he has enough on his plate as is, if he can get his room ready faster with someone’s help and get that out of the way, he might as well take the opportunity.
He ends up realizing along the way that a) neither of them actually know what they’re doing and b) Midoriya isn’t as bad as he’d first thought. Far from it.- Language:

Summary
Most professional Heroes keep their personal relationships quiet, for privacy and safety. Everyone who has ever seen Eraserhead and Present Mic together know they’re one such couple. If only someone would tell them so they’d stop pining over each other…
