Summary
October arrives at UA’s Heights Alliance with as much fanfare as any other season. In the wake of a simple accident, Hagakure Tooru finds herself evermore drawn in by the workings of mirrors. She’s never had cause to care much for them, before; but as time goes on, circumstances conspire to make them rather more fascinating to her than she ever expected.
This work is not entirely canon-compliant to current MHA canon at either a manga or anime level; however, up-to-date knowledge is recommended for best reader experience.

Summary
"Is that a dead body?" the girl who'd encountered them asked, head twitching to the side as she tapped her chin in contemplation, and Denki took a deep breath. There it was, the vaguest of openings to de-escalate the situation. Mitigate the damage. Avoid getting dropped in a deep hole somewhere for unheroic crimes.
He opened his mouth.
"No?"
In which Kaminari and Jirō have a secret, and everyone else has a bigger one, and frankly, this is a bit too much stress for one night.

Summary
(Teach high-schoolers, they said. They're less self-absorbed than middle-schoolers, they said. They don't get suspiciously sticky like primary-schoolers, they said. They're more mature. Almost adults. Capable of taking care of themselves.)
"Mr Aizawa, sir," the blond said, slightly more calmly before - only slightly, but Shōta would take the wins where he could. "Sparky and Deku are doing blood rituals in the kitchen."
(Everyone Shōta had ever spoken to was a dirty liar.)
