    Summary

    Eijirou looks at the talisman. And then does a double take.

    “This just says ‘fuck off’ in kanji,” Eijirou says to Midoriya.

    “It’s very effective,” Midoriya says to Eijirou.

    “What the hell is going on,” Jirou says to the room.

    (In which the dorms are haunted and Midoriya is an exorcist. In, you know, a manner of speaking.)

    Summary

    In their bedroom, beneath their bed, she keeps a wooden box. It is small, but some days she struggles to even lift it such is its weight. It is a space that things may enter but never leave. Now she breaks this rule, sorting through its contents as she awaits their guest.

    There is a fine silver chain, the foot of a wild rabbit, a pair of incisors, a scrap of cloth, a lock of hair, two pieces of stiff parchment and a dirty scrap of paper. There is the more recent addition of a wax seal, ornate and macabre in equal measure. Then there is the pressed chamomile, which predates all else. A collection of all the moments she had taken for her own.

    Inside this box is her heart entire.

    Summary

    It's excruciating to want something you can't have. But Kabru desperately, desperately wants to be liked by a man who doesn't particularly seem to need or want anyone.

    Friendship is a kind of falling in love, only harder, because no one knows how to do it.

    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”
