    Summary

    Katsuki had never had time for anyone but himself.

    Himself, and Izuku midoriya.

    Katsuki hated that this weak little shit could do anything. He hated that Deku always got up looking weak as ever, and no one even noticed. He hated that a snot-nosed, noodle-armed daisy picker could keep up with him. It did not matter what Katsuki did, Deku would take it, like Katsuki hadn’t even scratched his surface when Katsuki knew he was bone fucking deep. There was nothing he could do to scare, change, or stop Deku. Nothing.

    Katsuki was obsessed.

    Summary

    In each timeline split, one goes well and one goes badly. Statistically speaking, there has to be a timeline where everything goes wrong and everything is lost. But those timelines need to be pruned, sheared off the stronger branches where life still thrives. Cloud Strife is the only reason his current timeline exists. After giving Sephiroth the Black Materia to destroy the world, he's left to wander the barren landscape alone for all eternity. Unable to die because of his own link to Sephiroth, he's keeping this fading timeline open simply by existing. But Gaia needs this timeline gone, so there's only one option: Remove Cloud from it entirely, and hand him over to another.

    But this new world is very different from the one he originally comes from. On Gaia's World of the Tree, the most important bond people have is with the planet, while in Odin's World of the Wolf, that honor belongs to the bonds between people. Lifemates and packs, to be precise, so this is going to be interesting.

    -----

    A.K.A. Cloud Strife is having none of this shit, and you can't make him.

    Chapter 1's beginning spints off my fic On Bound and Broken Wings. That's the only OBABW reference though, the rest is standalone.

    Summary

    Izuku is an omega hero in a world made for alphas. Using that for motivation, he defeated All For One, graduated UA, and made it into the top ten hero rankings. Plus, he’s managed to accidentally stumble into a ‘beneficial’ dynamic with his alpha best friend, Katsuki. At twenty-three, he has found a balance in his life most would envy.

    Until the perfect storm of hormones, instincts, and a villain attack cause his world to flip upside down.

    Now, the life growing inside Izuku has the ability to light the path for his and Katsuki’s new journey together… or burn everything they’ve built to the ground.

    Summary

    “You feel that?” Katsuki asks, red eyes boring into green ones. Beneath Midoriya’s hand, Katsuki’s heart beats steadily behind scarred tissue. “I’m alive, okay? I’m alive.”

    “I’m scared I’ll hurt you,” Midoriya admits brokenly, but with the way his hand has come to grip Katsuki’s shirt right above his heart, his admission seems contradictory to his actions, almost as if his brain and body are fighting against each other: His brain is screaming I don’t want you, I need to stay away from you as a twisted form of punishment poorly disguised as self-preservation while his body is yelling back I need you. I need you here with me because otherwise I don’t know what to do with myself. I need you.

    And Katsuki understands.

    The end of a war, of learning to love, forgive, and overcome guilt, and all the little in-betweens.

    Betrayed by someone she trusts, Senator Padmé Amidala, pregnant and vulnerable, vanishes without a trace. Meanwhile, Anakin Skywalker, freshly returned from saving the Chancellor from Count Dooku's clutches, unaware of Padmé’s pregnancy, leads a frantic galaxy-wide search to find her before it's too late. As dark forces close in and the Republic teeters on the brink of collapse, the hunt for the beloved senator becomes a race against time that could determine the fate of the galaxy - and the Skywalker family - forever.
