Summary
Warren had managed the calculus to realize that his mother had to die.
Layla didn’t understand why he hadn’t done the math and killed Layla, too. He could have. Well, he could have tried. He might have succeeded. Layla’d believed that Warren loved the kids, both the Homecoming kids and his younger sister, but she hadn’t believed he actually loved anyone else.
He did, though. He did, and unlike the four of them and their feelings about him, his love was unmixed. It was beyond fucked up because everything about Warren was, but it was genuine.
Right now, she didn't care, but it might matter later.

Summary
Long before the White Flash killed civility, and long before Brad tasted Joy, he had grown disturbingly used to the taste of blood on his tongue. He and his friends were far too young for the lessons they'd learned, but they could never anticipate how much worse things would become.
Only one student in their class knows: an unnerving, intense little girl named Joan. What she lacks in charm she makes up for in ambition, for she believes she can prevent the apocalyse — as long as she saves Lisa Armstrong.
"LISA: The Faithful" explores the trajectory of Brad and Lisa's lives in an alternate universe in which an unlikely ally intervenes on their behalf. Could the White Flash be avoided? With such high stakes, there's no room for doubt: there can only be faith.

Summary
Mermaid AU. If you asked Katsuki Bakugou, he was a god among jealous mortals. If you asked his mother, Mitsuki, she would agree, except for the times she'd call him a brain-dead little bitch. If you asked his classmates, well. They knew to keep their mouths shut. So when Mitsuki bought a new, green-haired mer for the family's aquarium business, Katsuki wasn't exactly looking to have his mind changed. Unfortunately, Izuku Midoriya might force him to rethink who he is, what he believes in, and whether his "normal" -- his thoughts, his life, his mother, mers, everything -- is really how the world should be.

No one really cared what happened to you. You weren't a very good victim at all. Retroactively, you deserved it.
Or; abuse is hard to name when you ended up violent and with paradoxical complexes instead of depressed, waifish and unrelentingly kind.
