Chapter 8

Sleep had been more difficult than usual after the very clear reminder that Gotham was still… Well, Gotham.

Fortunately, the kids didn’t return after that one – rather brief – visit and he was grateful for that. He wasn’t too keen on forgetting that they’d been there though, un...

Chapter 141

At that moment, Kazuki felt like he could fully relate to Shigaraki, and he didn’t like it one bit.

Mostly though, he was trying to get over the shock and confusion he felt, which was almost perfectly mirrored by the villain in front of him.

Why was Stain there? He wasn’t working with the League...

-When You’re the King of Men

“Not Moderator, Administrator…” Joshua heard Michael whisper, face almost blank if not for the slight widening of his eyes. There was some strange flavor of awe in his voice, tinged with disbelief and the smallest bit of something similar to fear. “How…?” he added then, h...

Chapter 7

When he got up the next day, Travis found that Holly was long gone already, somehow.

She’d even tidied up after herself and all. The only signs that she’d been there at all were the slight scent of her perfume in his father’s bedroom and a small post-it she’d left on the small table by the kitchen. ...

[Nemuri Kayama]

“Only you, Kazuki,” Hina said and she could only agree, a fond smile on her face as they regarded the Nevermore and what Kazuki had written with it on the computer. Apparently, he’d found a friend inside the League of Villains, somehow. The one they’d lost...

It’s Hard to Find Divinity-

[Aika Kiryuu]

Things had been… calm, for a definition of the word.

Her days had become a bit of a routine, but that was hardly new, really.

For quite a while, however, school had become a lot less important in her life. Difficult to be concerned about that ...

Chapter 6

“What’s with the short hair? New you or something?” the woman asked him when she eventually pulled back from the hug. He could appreciate the attempt at casual conversation, but it fell a bit flat. She seemed to realize that, because he saw her expression twitching as if going to grimace and taking it back....

[Hina Maeda]

“Kazuki, you brilliant, brilliant child,” she whispered, the tip of her index finger running a feather’s touch on the top of the Nevermore’s head, almost like she was afraid it’d disappear if she applied more force than that. “Are you alright?” she aske...

If I Can Get Through This

‘It’s been a while,’ Joshua mused, watching the illusions dance around him. Once things had calmed down and he was doing better – not fine, not yet, but soon, maybe –, he’d decided to take a step back and give his daughter the attention she deserved and that she hadn�...

Chapter 5

Travis had expected it, but a part – a very small part – of him was still somewhat taken aback.

It was two days after he hired her that Catherine was absent from work. ‘Heroin, probably,’ he thought to himself. Right when withdrawal for it would hit her, like clockwork. He could be wrong, b...

Chapter 138

‘Situation just got even more complicated,’ Kazuki thought warily.

All the previous glee and confidence that he got from the interview to Aizawa and Nezu had gone out the window. The shock from the reveal that no, Shigaraki wasn’t the leader of the villain group, was enoug...

Mind, It Wavers Back and Forth

“If you would give me a minute to get ready…” he said over the communication item he’d made specifically for Ophis. He didn’t really get further than that though, leaving the sentence hanging to gauge how the dragon would react. It wasn’t like he wanted to make her wait, ...

“Ok then,” Travis said, setting down two cups of coffee and a mug of hot chocolate on the table together with a plate of snacks. “So, you-”

“What kind of bar serves hot chocolate?” Jason asked, interrupting him while he glared at the offending drink he’d been presented with. Then he turned his...

[Momo Yaoyorozu]

Time since the attack had been the most frustrating she’d had to get through in her life, and also the most worrying. She wasn’t even sure how long it had truly been, because she was pretty sure it’d been a day, unlikely to be two. Yet, she felt like it’d been wee...

“Are you sure you’re okay to come here?” Serafall asked, for the third time at that. Not that Joshua blamed her, but still. “Going with Gabriel is one thing, but here…”

“I’m fine, Sera. I promise,” he said, even though he was lying. He did, in fact, feel a little off still. ...

Eiji Satou had saved her life again.

Eiji Satou had saved her pride again.

Walking besides him and his group, she pondered that, filled with shame and frustration and a number of other emotions. She wanted to show her gratitude, she wanted to scream and...

“Joseph, man, are you ok?” Travis asked, giving the man a beer. “You are here everyday,” he pointed out. It was just fortunate that he’d caught the man at his bar alone for once, if only because apparently his friends were coming later. As he said, Joseph seemed to have gone into his bar one day and not...

“I’m not here for you,” the villain in front of her said and she almost paused. But she knew that’d be a mistake, considering the man and his… work. “You were on my list, once, but… I was convinced to take a second look at things,” he explained. The w...

I Can’t Erase This Feeling

Even after passing out and staying that way for the better part of two days, only sporadically waking up for about an hour or less each time, he still felt like he’d drop at any moment.

Not all of it was because of the now infinite source o...

Chapter 2

Travis preferred being in the bar.

It wasn’t because he’d spent most of his life there though, not really, although it did play a part, he supposed. He’d done his homework on the counter almost every time, under the watchful eyes of his father. He’d spent afternoons with friends sharing drinks, with...

‘Til I Burn Beyond Control

“What… is that?”

Ophis’ words made Joshua freeze further. There was something deeply disturbing about someone else seeing the Game. Nobody had so far and it was just… one of those truths of the world, as far as he was concerned. Nobody saw the Game, the Game existed for him alon...

Chapter 1

Life could take interesting turns, Travis knew, but sometimes… Sometimes those turns could be a road that leads right off a cliff. That’s how the last turn felt like for him, in all honesty, and that might have been a bit of an understatement. He wasn’t sure how one could classify waking up to news that one...
