Super cute and dialogue is very in character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/81700936"&gt;https://archiveofourown.org/works/81700936&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MHA&lt;br /&gt;Okay you guys get four here because I CAN'T CHOOSE LMAO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLATONIC/PARENTAL:&lt;br /&gt;"Scientifically proven and fact based"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/64019350/chapters/164229040"&gt;https://archiveofourown.org/works/64019350/chapters/164229040&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;touchstarved!shinso &amp; parental erasermic&lt;br /&gt;I LOVE THIS FIC Y'ALL the dialogue is SO GOOD and so CUTE and has me kicking my feet EVERY TIME. Very accurately captures the feeling of not knowing how to ask for help even for smth "stupid."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Shut my eyes (run away from it all)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/37360591"&gt;https://archiveofourown.org/works/37360591&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;touchstarved!izuku and parental mic&lt;br /&gt;tbh I didn't think I would like this one as much as I did, basic premise is izuku asks mic for a hug and it becomes a regular thing, JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE guys it feels like it'll be pathetic and sappy and it is but it WORKS. Sometimes you're just in the mood for pathetic and sappy yk?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ROMANTIC:&lt;br /&gt;"Under the Weather"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/60022777"&gt;https://archiveofourown.org/works/60022777&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oboro/aizawa (high school)&lt;br /&gt;It's not too romantic if you're not a fan of the ship, it's just very centered on touch-starved aizawa. He gets adorably stubborn and cute and he's so soft but he tries to act tough kinda vibes. Good writing of internal monologue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"resigned"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/60268267/chapters/153797866"&gt;https://archiveofourown.org/works/60268267/chapters/153797866&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;erasermic&lt;br /&gt;OBLIGATORY WARNING: 30K WORDS, UNFINISHED, INFREQUENT UPDATES (last one took 7 months)&lt;br /&gt;but y'all it's WORTH IT. Only forced proximity fic I can find for erasermic, idiots in love, mutual pining. Basic premise is a quirk accident that forces them to stay within a certain distance of each other. And oh no! It keeps getting shorter! So they have to share a bed! And oh no! Hizashi hugs in his sleep! Aizawa is such a dork in this one guys. This is legitimately one of my all time favorite fics and I think about it all the time. 100000/10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Death Note&lt;br /&gt;"ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in space"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/63630748"&gt;https://archiveofourown.org/works/63630748&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L/light&lt;br /&gt;Cute, banter. A little ooc but any lawlight fic is gonna be ooc. "shut up and enjoy it" kinda vibes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a great jjk one but apparently didn't bookmark it :(&lt;br /&gt;That's all, hope y'all enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=recthething&amp;ditemid=201289" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
