Summary
Dean's made himself a pretty normal life--an apartment with his brother and a job where he only has to deal with your garden variety weirdo patrons. He likes to think he's pretty well adjusted, considering his dad raised them raving about demons and got himself yanked by Social Services for being mentally unsound. When a little boy with a story all too similar to Dean's stumbles into his life, he decides not to let the kid repeat his own ugly childhood. Little Uriel is just as much a handful as Dean had expected, but worse, he's tied to one of the weirdos from Dean's job--a know it all guy called Castiel who's stuck in Dean's life for as long as Uriel is.

However, five years after their adventure beneath Mt. Ebott, a new human child arises from the Underground. The "True Pacifist", they're calling her.Only this time, the monsters have followed them to the Surface.
Desperate, lonely, but plagued by guilt for leaving their friends behind, Frisk can't find the will to face them all after so long. But they miss them - merciful God above, do they miss them. They don't know how much longer they can keep this up. They're hungry, sick and miserable, and so very, very alone.
Will Frisk ever find the determination to face their friends again? And can the monsters of the Underground finally give this Fallen child somewhere they can call home?

Summary
Aizawa Shouta knew, fundamentally, that his quirk could be useful when it came to helping others; however, after his parents died and a few, unsuccessful jaunts around the foster-care system later, he comes to realise that the world of heroes isn’t for him.
Because heroes only showed up some of the time; then, if you were lucky, they’d rush onto the scene, seek their glory in defeating villains and then vanish behind a screen of adoring-fans, TV cameras and fame… leaving the ordinary people behind to sift through the fragments of their broken lives themselves.
No one had saved him from the ruthless reality of being an orphan too old and too damaged to be adopted and no one gave a damn about the shady area ensconcing the care-centre he was raised in either, and so, he decides to give a damn.
What follows are the tales of Café Owner Aizawa who hasn’t adopted several kids, intimidated the local gangs, scared off the pimps and caused multiple villains and heroes to catch feels for him, no sir; he just serves drinks, provides decent food and helps struggling students with their homework.
It’d be irrational to think otherwise…
