500 words | Deku + chronic pain + bktddk
“So, what’s this?” Uraraka asks, with the air of someone who knows exactly what this is but wants to force Izuku through the mortifying ordeal of explaining it anyway.
Izuku cringes and closes his eyes.
Todoroki, immune to embarrassment, says, “We’re massaging Midoriya’s arms.”
Kacchan, immune to social pressure, doesn’t even bother to respond.
Izuku, caught between two very warm, very close bodies, alternates between melting at the gentle way they knead out the pain from his aching muscles and fidgeting nervously.
“While practically in his lap?” Uraraka presses. “Both of you?”
And Kacchan and Todoroki do both have a leg tossed over Izuku’s.
For leverage. Obviously.
Izuku peeks open one eye, trying to psychically beg Uraraka to stop asking questions and just let him have this.
“You’re overworking yourself,” Kacchan mutters, displeased and using his quirk to massage a particularly sore finger joint.
They're practically holding hands.
“Uh huh,” Izuku responds intelligently.
“Dumbfuck,” Kacchan chastises, flicking his temple. “Listen to me.”
Izuku draws in a sharp breath as Todoroki’s chin comes to rest gently on his other shoulder.
“He’s right, you know.”
“Don’t…” Izuku starts, falling silent when Todoroki’s thumb presses distractingly against Izuku’s palm.
Then Kacchan’s temple falls carefully against Izuku’s, breath warm across his cheek, and Izuku tries his best to remember the rest of his sentence.
“Don’t…um…inflate his ego, Todoroki-kun.”
Kacchan uses his head to press the three of them closer together, less gently than before, knocking Izuku's skull into Todoroki’s. Three peas in a pod.
“I don’t get ego-stroking privileges?”
Izuku laughs nervously.
“No?”
Todoroki hums.
“I think Midoriya is a little distracted at the moment.”
Izuku shakes his head. “Not distracted,” he promises. “Just…uh. I'm just…um...”
“Just convinced you two haven’t been hitting on him all year,” Uraraka finishes, voice a conspiratorial whisper, before moving away to the kitchen.
Izuku can’t help the startled noise that escapes him when two pairs of soft lips press against his cheeks.
“Get the message yet, nerd?”
Izuku pauses with an honest answer on his lips and swallows it back down, face growing hot, because if this is real (and all the signs suggested it was) then,
“…no.”
“No?” Todoroki repeats.
Izuku squeezes his eyes shut. Nervously, he mumbles, “Might have to make it clearer.”
His little stunt is rewarded with a pleased rumble from Kacchan- now nosing at his temple, lips skating achingly close to Izuku's skin in a not-quite kiss- and Todoroki sliding further onto Izuku’s lap.
They’re both still massaging his arms. Izuku hasn't been thinking about the pain for quite a while, though.
“I don’t know how we could be clearer,” Todoroki says and the heat and the closeness and the genuine concern for his well being must be melting Izuku’s brain because he blurts out,
“Kiss me.”
It’s worth it, though, for the way they dip down and finally give him what he’s been dreaming about. Ten times sweeter than any whispered, late-night wish.
"But don't go thinking you call the shots, nerd."
I’m trying to work on this bnha Coraline AU and I severely underestimated my desire to make the Baku-family sweet and wholesome and happy lol
any suggestions for details you’d like to see in later chapters?
Izuku Midoriya is such a cutie pie what do you meeean i only get three more chapters of him being in situations :(
New WIP!!!
The Ghostly Aria
In a forgotten corner of a bustling city lies an ancient opera house, its walls steeped in stories of both grandeur and tragedy. Liang Wenqing, a young and gifted Chinese opera singer, arrives at the opera house with a voice so hauntingly beautiful that it seems to echo through time itself. Yet, as his fame rises, so does the shadow of something otherworldly—an eerie presence that lingers in the forgotten corners of the theater.
When Liang discovers an old, forbidden manuscript of a long-lost opera, he is drawn to its sorrowful melody, a piece rumored to summon the spirits of the past. As he prepares to perform it, he unwittingly awakens the ghost of Yin Zhenhua, a legendary opera singer who disappeared under mysterious circumstances centuries ago after her final, fateful performance.
Bound by an inexplicable connection to Yin, Liang must unravel the secrets of her disappearance before he becomes the next victim of the opera house's dark history. As the spirit's whispers grow louder, Liang finds himself torn between the allure of completing the forbidden aria, which promises to give his voice unimaginable power, and the danger it poses—not only to his future but to his very soul.
The tale weaves together haunting melodies, the weight of tradition, and a mystery as old as the opera house itself. A story of beauty, mystery, and the price of fame, The Ghostly Aria invites readers into a world where every note sung echoes with the voices of those who came before.

genderqueer questioning nagi, pre-slash nagimitsu, based on that one scene where mitsuki tries to throw out all of nagi's merch (943 words)
still looking for an i7 beta reader, esp if you have a good grasp on the character personalities! and ofc id be more than happy to beta some of your stuff in return (for any fandom or original) so message me if interested!
Nagi had thought he’d confessed something, sitting on his knees while Mitsuki stared down with a blinding vengeance from Nagi’s bed, the both of them surrounded by boxes half-filled with his prized Magical Cocona keepsakes.
Mitsuki had taken Nagi’s trademark magical stick from its place on the wall and brandished it with all the grace of a valiant knight from the stories Nagi’s father used to tell him as a child. Pointing the barrel of the wand at Nagi’s face like a steel-tipped sword, Mitsuki had said, “I know you’re more than just a womanizing anime nerd.”
The words I know filled Nagi’s ears like static.
“More than when you’re with girls or watching anime, when you’re dancing with us you smile the brightest.”
I know, I know, I know.
“I know because I’ve been watching you,” Mitsuki had said, and Nagi thought that maybe he knew, too.
Maybe he and Mitsuki were the same.
Mitsuki set aside his sword- the magical stick returned gently to Nagi’s sheets instead of the box of to-be-thrown-out things- and he kneeled, too, bringing their faces close together. All the animosity from earlier felt washed away like the evening tide and Nagi’s water-worn eyes had shone, reflecting back the sudden gentleness he was faced with.
No one who’d known had ever been gentle about it.
Mitsuki smiled.
“Man, you sure are handsome up close.”
The breath of those words on Mitsuki’s lips tipped Nagi further onto his knees like a young tree caught in the throes of a hurricane.
I know.
So Nagi steeled his trembling, windswept body and confessed. He’d confessed that he felt beautiful like the magical girl Cocona. Like elegance in velvet dresses and silk ruffles and perfectly pink princesses locked away in high towers, waiting to be rescued.
(I must confess…I am beautiful.)
Mitsuki frowned, rising suddenly to make a dumpster shot of one of the Magical Cocona figurines displayed by Nagi’s bedside.
“I was ready to listen but all you wanted to do was brag?” Mitsuki exclaimed incredulously, the words that had escaped Nagi’s lips too cowardly to confess anything at all.
“I’m a beautiful man,” Nagi tried again. Beautiful, not handsome, but the hard lines in Mitsuki’s forehead clearly said Nagi’s message wasn’t getting through. Mitsuki didn’t really know so Nagi switched tactics, trying his luck with the other truth Mitsuki might have been referring to. “I’ve had girlfriends, but never boyfriends.”
Nagi had never had this. Japanese boys crowding into his space 24/7 and admiring his face, admiring him aloud, kneeling on his bed like a specter of divine judgment and leaning closer than they’d ever really need to be.
“You’re my first,” Nagi said, hoping that this was known, at least. These secret feelings, barely beginning to bloom, expressed only in the suggestive asides Nagi’s meager vocabulary could manage.
Nagi realized too late he’d slipped into the plural you but Mitsuki didn’t hesitate in the slightest before correcting the words Nagi had placed so purposefully at his feet, so perhaps this wasn’t the truth Mitsuki knew, either.
(You mean, your first friends?)
And the members of idolish7 were Nagi’s first friends, like Mitsuki assumed, so Nagi hung his head and agreed, grateful that his cowardice and incompetence had at least allowed him to retain his dignity a little while longer.
Nagi had weathered the crashing wave of anger like he always did, misplaced as it was this time, and Mitsuki had gentled once more.
Then Mitsuki called him cute and helped Nagi right the storm of his room and he smiled when Nagi began explaining the pure perfection that was the MagiCona series and Nagi felt…warm, in a way he didn’t usually allow himself to.
He softened his body language until he felt more himself, mimicking the easy femininity of the magical anime girls he so admired, and Mitsuki never blinked. So maybe Nagi could allow himself this wordless honesty. Here, in his room spun with silk and safety that Mitsuki had stayed to help him rebuild even if he didn’t know.
And at night, after MagiCona had aired and everyone else was asleep, Nagi could allow himself- herself? Perhaps themself- to imagine that Mitsuki had known something else and stayed to help Nagi rebuild all the same.

Manager knew, Nagi thought. Or she at least suspected.
Somehow girls always did, and that was part of why Nagi liked them so much. Tsumugi Takanashi was a beautiful woman, and Nagi told her so often, but he didn’t desire that sort of connection from her.
“There’s a Magical Cocona themed planner being released today, isn’t there?” Manager asked as they strolled past the Zero arena. “Should we stop at a bookstore after we visit the salon?”
This connection, though- this easy friendship unafraid to wade away from masculinity was something Nagi wouldn’t trade for the world.
“Oh, yes!” he cheered. “Magical Cocona! Yay!”
And maybe when Nagi found the words for a real confession, Manager would be the first to hear them, her gentle understanding a lighthouse in the swirling storm Nagi would finally admit existed within his head.
“Are you okay, Nagi-san? You have an odd expression on your face…”
Nagi extended his hand, fingers curling upward, while the other rested gently on his own chest. Manager carefully placed her hand in Nagi’s and laughed as she was twirled, skirt billowing out in a beautiful circle.
“I’m fantastic!”
Nagi lightly squeezed Manager’s hand before letting go.
“As long as you’re sure,” she said.
“I am,” Nagi replied, smiling. “We’re going to get Magical Cocona today!”
And the baby steps were important. The magical girl Cocona assured him of this.
