    Summary

    Toshinori reaches a hand, the one that is shattered beyond repair and drenched in blood. He gives a smile to the boy. He can feel blood smeared across his teeth. He can't imagine his smile is any reassurance, but Toshinori is dying and desperate. A piss-poor smile is all he can give.

    A piss-poor smile, and an earth-shattering quirk.

    'I have a healing quirk,' he lies, begging the boy with his eyes. Please, say yes. Please accept my DNA. 'It only works on others. Let me h-help you? I won't last.' Toshinori's words come more and more haltingly. He can feel cold darkness encroaching on his limbs already. He tilts his hand, just slightly, just enough to renew his offer to the boy. 'At-At least… Not long enough… For help to arrive in time.'

    *

    Yagi Toshinori gets caught in a building collapse in his powered-down form. As he lays dying and without a successor, he offers his quirk to a young boy who is trapped alongside him.

    All Might never makes it out of the building. But Midoriya Izuku does.

    With no parent and a new limb-breaking quirk, he becomes a ward of UA.

    Summary

    Simon…my name is Simon.”

    Ryland smiles, wide and earnest. Simon has never seen the sun but he imagines this is what it feels like under the warmth of its glow.

    The blond man reaches a hand forward, and Simon awkwardly takes it in his too-tired grasp.

    “Nice to meet you, Simon. I’m Dr. Captain Ryland Grace of the Hail Mary and current microbiology and astrophysics teacher here on Erid. Welcome aboard.”

    ———

    Obligate “Simon wakes up on Erid” fic with a small twist.

    Summary

    Grace forgets that most humans don't speak in a mish-mash of English and Eridian and Simon has a slightly different misunderstanding than the main one I've seen.

    5! I'm generally obsessed with the concept of Simon assuming Grace isn't human - especially in relation to the more eldritch aspect of Iron Lung's universe vs only the angel comparison -and my god the comparison to the trinity??? So clever

    Also just generally love the fics where both sides are reading an entirely different book but seem to think they're on the same page as the other

    Grace & Simon finally meet. It goes as well as expected.

    Rocky somehow makes the situation better AND worse, at the same time.

    In my drafts, I called this Meat Cute.

    Summary

    The journey to Erid was long and tedious, despite Rocky's best efforts to abate the boredom, four years with only a bossy rock for company is enough to drive anyone insane.

    Upon arrival, sick and malnourished, Grace expects to be met with confusion and fear from the eridians, demands for explanations, and a long and drawn-out process to create living conditions for him.

    What he does not expect to find is another human, comfortably living at the eridians' best recreation of an apple orchard and fiercely attached to Rocky’s mate, Adrian.
