Summary
Merlin opens the door to his bedroom, breakfast trolley right behind him, and finds Arthur in the process of defenestrating himself.
“Um,” says Arthur, one leg already poking out the window, which is when Merlin notices the kitschy red Lycra balled up under his arm, and the immensely guilty look on his face.
Merlin, betrayed emotionally by his husband, wants a divorce. It's not as bad as it sounds.

Summary
Lord Zedd, once the scourge of galaxies, now drowns his failures in bottom-shelf liquor at the Villain's Gala. As a new breed of evil rises, armed with PowerPoint presentations and KPIs, Zedd's old-school chaos feels as outdated as his rusting staff.
But in this corporate hellscape of villainy, where even henchmen have dental plans, can a washed-up emperor find his evil groove again? Or will he remain a cautionary tale, muttering about the good old days of planet-wide destruction over happy hour specials?
In this darkly hilarious tale, evil faces its greatest nemesis yet: middle management.

Summary
Methos keeps journals. He’s been doing it since ancient Egypt, back when writing was new, papyrus was expensive, and he still had hope for humanity.
Some of those journals survived. Some he lost. Some got “discovered” and are currently displayed in museums with hilariously inaccurate descriptions, which he used to enjoy visiting just to see how wrong the scholars got it.
But he never thought he’d need a journal for a war he wasn’t even trying to be part of—the Quirk War, a global mess he fully intended to avoid.
And yet here he is: stitching wounds, dodging politics, getting kidnapped, causing explosions (accidentally or otherwise), and watching the world reinvent itself.
Fine. He’ll write it down.
But if this one ends up in a museum, he’ll find a way to switch worlds again.Series

Summary
“I’m your editor,” she says. “And I’m not editing the crap you wrote while half delirious on --” she picks up one of his cans -- “Calpis Yogurt Flavored Milk Soda -- Midoriya, how do you even have any brain cells left?”
“The only thing that keeps me kicking is katsudon and spite.”
Suzuki holds up both hands. “How many fingers am I holding up?”
“Ten,” he answers immediately, albeit smugly.
"And how many fingers does it look like I’m holding?”
His eyes dart to the right. There is a water stain on the ceiling that he swears looks like Gang Orca.
"How many, Midoriya?”
He frowns and looks at his shoes. “...Eleven and a half.”Reporter AU.
