Summary
UA has a rule—no quirkless students. It was added years ago, after much hemming and hawing about safety concerns and lessening blame in the inevitable circumstance of death. There's no real reason to remove it, not as the percentage of quirkless people plummets further and further.
Of course, this rule doesn't actually matter to Izuku, because he's got an analysis quirk.
As far as anyone knows.
The Plan is simple: have a quirk, become a hero, and avoid anyone who could disprove those first two things.
In hindsight, UA isn't a great choice. And that's before the villains.

Summary
Somewhere below him, a stranger named Wyll is living in the same house. Astarion had fled as far as he could and instead of quiet safety, there is someone else, and they aren't leaving.
It doesn't matter. He's here to stay.
Astarion hasn't made it this far to just give up.
Or: an old house on the point between two worlds.

Summary
The captain—because it must be the captain, there's no other possibility—stops directly before the straggled lines of captives. Black hair frames his angular features, the way his eyes narrow not against the sun but against them: their existence, maybe, or just the existence of all those beneath him.
There is a pause. And then he speaks.
"I am Captain Cazador Szarr of the Eternal," he says. It's a deep, almost melodic voice; too rich for the seadogs and savages that so often fill ships. Even against the better-dressed of his crew, he stands out like a noble in the East End rookeries. "And I am here to meet with your captain, pirates."
The year is 1728, and Astarion Ancunín casts across the Atlantic in hopes of reaching the Caribbean to finally make a name for himself.
He doesn't quite make it there.

Summary
Undead cannot become mindflayers. A living mind is required to be a host, and vampire spawns don't have one.
There's something growing inside Astarion's skull.

Summary
After the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry is alone and struggling to find a way to hang on to his sanity when an unexpected boon walks into his house and kidnaps him to Gringotts. The Most Noble House of Nott is attacked and Theodore is left with nothing but ashes, a single gemstone, and the burning fire of something bigger than himself lodged forever in his soul. Lucius Malfoy suffers a momentary lapse in sanity and raises his wand against the Dark Lord. The lines between light and dark, good and evil, blur together and disappear entirely. All the while, Harry goes searching for who "Just Harry" is and keeps coming back to a dark-eyed Slytherin he never thought he'd call his friend...

Summary
In the world where Tom Marvolo Riddle becomes Minister of Magic and Albus Dumbledore secretly builds a resistance movement, Hadrian Castor Potter, second son of James and Lily Potter, feels alone and deprived of his heritage. Especially when no one believes him and in him. Hogwarts is like a vision of safe heaven but Dumbledore’s obsession with a prophecy grows, and soon political conflict will get more and more hostile.
The perspective of difficult decisions, hard choices and conflicts is overwhelming, and there will be the time when Hadrian would face a point of no return.
Alea iacta est, like said Julius Caesar.

Summary
Before the village became abandoned ruins on the Risen Road, people still prepared for Greengrass.
Tessa Vale spends the day altering a ceremonial dress for the girl chosen to lead the spring procession. Around her, travellers leave without lingering, villagers reinforce cloaks for long journeys, and rumours spread faster than wagons through the square.
Nobody officially says the village is dying.
The dress still needs hemming.

Summary
“Look, I know we are on holiday right now,” Wyll begins. “No work. Just sight-seeing and relaxation. But…”
Wyll gives him an absolute masterwork of a smile. It’s charming without being too pushy, the kind of smile that says, “If you tell me that you want to go back to our lodgings, I will of course respect your wishes and will dispatch these foul monsters quickly and without a fuss. However, if you do find it in your heart to allow me to indulge in a quick spot of theatricality just this one time, I would consider it a kindness, and one that will be repaid.”
At least, that is what Astarion is choosing to interpret as the meaning of Wyll’s smile.
“Go on,” Astarion says, magnanimous. “You know you want to.”
With their wedding looming on the horizon, Wyll and Astarion decide to take a couple’s trip to spend time together and reconnect. Their holiday is supposed to be relaxing, fun, and low-pressure. It doesn’t entirely go according to plan.
