Summary
As he falls, he lets himself think about it. He lets himself think that if he wakes up, if things go back again, it means that he does have a quirk. It means he really can take a swan dive off a roof and hope for better luck in his next life. It means that all along, he’s been useless and worthless because he hasn’t died yet.
He hits the ground.
And then he opens his eyes.
(vigilante!izuku AU where izuku has a quirk that rewinds time when he dies)
(hiatus! will be eventually adapted into an original work. for updates/more information, my twitter is nauticalwarri0r)Series

Summary
Cyno goes out into the desert. Alone. Which, in and of itself, isn't unusual, and wouldn't be a problem. He is the General Mahamatra, after all.
Except he's a bit careless, and doesn't bring as much water as he should. His only waterskin springs a leak.
--
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”

Summary
Zhongli is not afraid of death. There is no reason to be, not after he has ensured that Liyue is safe in the hands of the mortals. Not after he has given up his gnosis, his role of god. He could die now, if he so wished.
It would be preferable to what would happen, inevitably, if he lived another six thousand years. More than likely, it would take even less time--are there any among adepti or beast who made it as long as him with their minds intact?
(or: the suicidal ideation zhongli fic that i desperately wrote after playing the azhdaha story quest)

Summary
You must learn to endure pain, Atsushi's headmaster tells him, over and over again, even though the man is no longer here.
Atsushi begins to inflict pain on himself, even though his ability does not allow the wounds to linger. He knows he'll be caught--it's only a matter of time, when he works for the Armed Detective Agency, but he can't stop himself. He does it anyway.

Losing Time (You Can't Go Home Again) by HyperbolicReverie

Summary
He’s a little thing, maybe four or five years old if she had to guess, and that would be concerning enough considering he’s alone in the woods, a quarter of the way up a mountain and at least a mile away from civilization all by his lonesome. But Nami’s always been the observant type of person; had to be, to get by for most of her life, and to be a good navigator, and this kid? This kid is setting off all the warning bells in her mind. Not the kid himself, mind you; but at all the little details that are telling her that he really should not be here.
When Law goes missing during a stop on a quiet, out-of-the-way island, the Hearts and the visiting Straw Hats immediately drop everything to find him. But instead of the captain, they find a small boy with a familiar face who just wants to go home.
As investigations into the strange nature of the island and what has happened bear fruit, both crews are left with the uncomfortable realization that they don't know how to predict how or if Law will be able to return.
Or worse: if he'll even want to come back at all.

Summary
Zoro just crosses his arms in return, clearly defiant. “Captains orders.”
A muscle twitches in Sanji’s jaw. “Don’t be an idiot.”
Zoro’s eye narrows. “Captains orders.”
Sanji knows a losing battle when he sees one, but he’s never gone down without a fight. “I will not share a bed with you,” he hisses, hands tightening into fists.
Or, five times Zoro and Sanji sleep together... and the one time they don't

Summary
When they’re on the forecastle, with the helm just behind them and the figurehead casting them further in shadow, Usopp calls, “Raise the sails!”
Luffy’s gasp next to his ear is the best part of his entire day.
The sails unfold in a great rolling crash of canvas. Even the striped gaff swings out, catching the wind. The whole sloop gives a powerful lurch as if she’s eager to sprint out of port on the back of whatever gale blows along next.
And painted on the foresail, bold and bright and proud, is a grinning Jolly Roger in a yellow straw hat.
“That’s mine,” Luffy whispers, hushed and awed.
“Told you so,” Usopp says smugly.

Summary
It shouldn’t be something unusual—it’s probably time for Sanji to change his bandages, and Zoro is simply helping—but it is, because Zoro touches Sanji with tenderness she never expected he’d have. Delicate, feather-light; almost hesitant.
Zoro is holding Sanji’s hand in his, thumb brushing the inside of Sanji’s wrist—a small, quiet gesture—and Nami’s breath snugs in her chest.

Summary
“How can I help them?” Zoro cried, letting Kuina wrap him into a tight hug as they watched the path of the bruises marching along Zoro's skin.
“Write something to them, write something to show them they’re not alone,” Kuina said. Without thinking, without planning, Zoro grabbed a pen and scrawled out on his arm: “I am your soulmate. I am here. You are not alone. I’m going to help you.”
