Here are the fics that I’ve really liked this past month. All of these are complete. Enjoy!

Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia (3), Harry Potter (4)

Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Title: and i'm nothing like you
Author: aloneintherain
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 9,322
Summary:
Of all the people to have been kidnapped alongside, it had to be this person, this hero, the one person who would never blame him for the things he was forced to do.

“Don’t cry,” Midoriya says.

“Fuck you,” Hitoshi chokes out.

(When Shinsou goes grocery shopping a few weeks after transferring to Class 2A, Midoriya tags along. Because he is, for some reason, determined to be Shinsou’s friend.

Shinsou remains cold and withdrawn in the face of Midoriya’s friendliness—until they’re kidnapped by a woman with a brainwashing quirk who believes Shinsou doesn’t belong in the hero course.)

 

Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Title: speak it free
Author: aloneintherain
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 3,265
Summary:
“I didn’t have the same middle school experience as you,” Shinsou says. “I didn’t become rivals with my childhood friend.”

Shinsou doesn’t know who Kacchan really is to him. Izuku has spent so much time looking at Shinsou and relating to him, that he forgot that Shinsou wasn’t looking back at him with that same recognition.

Izuku takes a deep breath, and starts, “Kacchan and I aren’t really childhood friends. Not really.”

Or: Shinsou finds out that Bakugou used to bully Midoriya.

 

Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Title: All Together Now
Author: DragonflyxParodies
Pairing: None
Rating: Not Rated (some later parts rated T)
Word Count: 9,184
Series: Part 1 of A Place to Belong (Words: 19,693 - Works: 6)
Summary:
When All Might leaves a child in need abandoned on a rooftop, Izuku has a friend there to help him pick himself back up, to believe in him and push him back into his dream - even if his path to heroics shifts, somewhat.
Eraserhead does not expect to be petitioned for an apprenticeship, let alone two. He does not expect to recognize the children before him either.
Nedzu does not expect an early birthday present.

Ft. Underground grand-proteges and a whole lot of plotting by those with like minds. U.A. was made for misfits. It's time they show the world that.

 

Fandom: Harry Potter

Author: DragonflyxParodies
Pairing: None

Iolanthe Peverell walked her many-times great grandson to his death, and his to life after.

 

Fandom: Harry Potter

Author: DragonflyxParodies
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 12,074
Summary:
Sirius has spent all year watching what has happened to his pup, catching up on what he has missed, and he was too distracted with Peter then to dwell on it but Albus never ordered him a trial, and Sirius is a Black, born a Black, bred a Black, trained a Black. He’s hidden so successfully behind pranks and smirks that those who knew him have forgotten –

In which Sirius takes matters into his own hands.

Someone comes through the Veil at the Department of Mysteries. Two someones, in fact. It sends everything sideways from there.

Title: popcorn and hair dye
Author: thenewoldsong (fishyspots)
Pairing: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Summary:
“I’m Hermione Granger,” a girl with a bossy sort of voice and a hand on Harry’s elbow tells Remus, after he sends the Dementors from their train compartment. “That’s Ron Weasley. Thank you again for helping Harry. We were very worried about her.”

She stresses the last word, either a life raft or a test.

Remus is good at taking both.
