Complete at AO3
38k, explicit
a seven-part exes-to-lovers winteam fic because i wasn’t satisfied throwing buses and mountains at win in order to make team cry
When Win and Team break up during Win's postgraduate studies, Win chooses to remain in London.
Five years later, an injury brings Team to London as well.
It would be the perfect opportunity for a reunion if only they hadn't both moved on.

So I've been given verbal confirmation of my raise so I've been increasing my pledge in fits and bursts to try and keep the momentum going until the paperwork to make the raise official comes in, but since I've decided on a set amount I'm willing to take from my savings to help fund the project if the paperwork isn't ready by then I think I'll go ahead and up my pledge to that amount tomorrow 'cause it's like... while I'm trying to make sure I don't overextend, it IS confirmed I'll be getting the funds to afford it, our parent company is just really slow about that stuff.
Basically while I'm not a Rich Gay I am queer and willing to exhaust whatever money I would spend on stuff for myself for the next five years in order to support independent artists, so...?

"if I thought AO3 was The Best Way To Do Things I would be volunteering for the OTW, rather than an administrator on Sufficient Velocity" You don't see any value in the existence of orgs that exist to serve a specific Purpose, even if you don't hang out there? I don't use AO3 much but I'm glad it exists, in the same way that I'm glad the ACLU exists even if I don't think they're always in the right, because it's socially useful to have an org whose Purpose to argue Max Free Speech, All The Time.
Sure, though I don't view it in the same manner as you've described here, as I said I don't really fall on the side of 'then let the Archive be destroyed', I just think it's an ideologically consistent position to hold with some valid points. I don't, however, personally prefer posting content on there as opposed to other venues — I prefer formats and hosts that support discussion better.

Opinion on BNHA AU where along with Hero work, the students (and All Might) are also thought about methods of helping improving society, not just simply taking down villains?
I’m always in favor of incorporating more realistic practical lessons into U.A.’s hero course (though, we are limited to the first years; moreover, we’re limited to Eraser Head and All Might’s understanding of teaching, which you have to admit--isn’t totally locked down), but this often wars with my desire to suspend disbelief regarding Horikoshi’s worldbuilding.
There was this one fanfic that was like, really good about this without going too gritty/grim about the reality of a gamified pro-hero society. It was about 1-A (maybe 2-A, too?) doing some activity with the business course, where they learned how awful government red tape is when filing damage/insurance reports.
Anyways, off the top of my head, good (questionably legal) activities for 1-A to have done:
The Red Tape Task -- students are given a prewritten mock damage report, and a stack of blank insurance claims. Using the prewritten report, they will determine which insurance claims need filing.
Tartarus Field Trip -- students attend a tour of the Worst Prison Complex Imaginable. Because they are first-years, they stick to the top level buildings and only receive lectures about the security measures used to contain villains. The purpose of the trip is to give students some perspective on the consequences of being a hero. Yes, you will save people. But supposing the villain you fight causes too much damage before they are subdued, you will also consign people to actual hell on earth.
USJ Saturdays -- students rotate through the various disaster simulations within the building. You can tell so much money was invested into that facility, so you BET the teachers should be capitalizing on it.
Mandatory Volunteer Work -- if you’re going to be paid by the government, then you’re a servant of the people, and you should probably get to know who the people are.
However, if by “methods of helping improving society” you meant, ‘deescalation training’ and ‘getting involved in public policy and administration’--they’re teenagers, your honor.
I’ll throw a bone into the discourse, actually:
I don’t know what readers expect 1-A to do with regards to answering the demands of Shigaraki Tomura, Dabi, and Toga. There’s no good answer that, say, Kaminari (much less Mineta) can give to the idea of rehabilitating unapologetic remorseless murderers. I don’t even know if there’s a good class that exists in a liberal arts college (Ethics 101? idk) that can guide teenagers into critical thinking re: villain motives and preventative measures.
Help improve society. What does that mean for a professional hero, who doesn’t even have the power to arrest a ‘villain’? Donating their money to charity foundations? Donating their spare time to civilian projects? Retiring to pursue political office? Isn’t that the equivalent of an actor running for governor, or a billionaire TV presence for president? (*cough* I’m not bitter about this at all)
Give 1-A the task ‘What can you do to help improve society, and lower crime rates?’ and they will point to All Might’s Symbol of Peace/Pillar of Society.
It’s no longer the right answer, obviously, but it’s the one they know.
