Summary
Shou learned that telling people about himself wasn't the best idea. He learned this over time, and it started when he was young and had just gotten free of Claw's sickening "awakening lab" experiments. When he told the other kids, or worse, their parents that he had powers now because some men strapped him into a chair and tortured him for weeks on end, they'd run off or look at him with a horrified and sometimes even disgusted expression. So Shou learned to keep his mouth shut.
He learned not to talk about the way that some of his dad's "employees" handled him, either.

Summary
Peter is caught, half way in his spider-suit when Mr. Harrington walks through the door.
Peter stares at him, eyes wide. Mr. Harrington stares back.
“I, uh, there’s an attack downtown and I..?”
“Go,” Mr. Harrington says with all the exasperation of teaching a high school vigilante and, in turn, breaking just about every single school rule there ever is. “I’ll cover for you.”
“Please tell Ms. Warren I’m sorry about missing her test next period and that I promise I’ll—”
“Peter,” Mr. Harrington says. “I’ll handle the academics. You go save the world.”
also known as: sometimes a family is eight high school decathlon team members, their teacher, and Spider-Man.

Kaz was gonna explode, not literally but it damn well felt like it. He was sat up in his bed and felt his world unravel around him.

Whoever said Clint is the life of the party was lying. Either that or they are delusional. The only person who thinks Clint is funny is Clint himself.

Summary
Sayako never gave a shit about heroes, and she certainly never thought about being one, not since the rot beneath the shiny surface of the industry put her older sister in an early grave. She wasn't exactly hero material either, looking like a demon straight out of hell and with the rage of one, doing everything she can just to keep herself from giving in to the destructive thoughts that were forever at the back of her mind. She was self-aware enough to know that the likes of her did not deserve the title of hero, and so she would never try.
A sudden turn of events finds Sayako in the middle of the biggest chapter in modern hero history, with the eyes of both sides focused on her with keen interest. With several people looking to use her to their own ends, Sayako has a choice to make, and she may find herself becoming the hero she was never meant to be.
(An OC-centric, reverse harem tale featuring plenty of angst, dark humor, and a girl on the road to hell.)

Bookmarker's Notes
The game's username is what reveals their identity to one another, which leads to hurt feelings and Peter neglecting his health after having a panic attack about the risks of Deadpool knowing his identity. They reconcile as Wade takes care of Peter after he passes out due to stress, starvation, and lack of sleep.
Entirely Peter's POV.
Not finished, but there's enough here to like without a serious cliffhanger.

Summary
“'Some speak of a ring,’” Mr. Weasley began, “‘that lies nestled on a dark, crumbling twig in a clearing in the woods. The woods are dark, unforgiving, and many are warned against going within the trees―some might even say it's forbidden,’” He winked at Harry then, who couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“So, it’s a fairy tale about the Forbidden Forest.”
“Yes, I suppose so,” Said Mr. Weasley, and straightened with a slight wince to tell him firmly, “and I know you’ve got a history of tromping around in there, so I’m telling you now, do not go back in there to look for rings. Bad idea.”
Stories are just stories—nothing more, nothing less. Morals and lessons can be gleaned by parables and fables alike, but the truth of it is so. That’s what people believe, at least. And that’s exactly what makes them so dangerous.
There's a grain of truth in every tale. Harry learns this the hard way when a fairy tale Arthur tells him comes to life, and he’s forced to abandon the wizarding world at the worst possible time—by winding up stuck in some bizarre-o alternate 1942 for six months.
Believe it or not, being Tom Riddle's unwitting roommate isn't even the worst part of it.

No one ever really tells you what to do in the case of bus explosions, field trips, hostage situations, and identity reveals. Of course, the aftermath is ten times worse and, well, Peter just considers himself lucky that he doesn't have to figure that stuff out on his own.
