Summary
He fights with bared teeth, no smile in sight. He fights with bones that no longer splinter under the weight of the quirk he was bestowed. He fights with the anger and strength of the eight that have come before him. He fights not like his life depends on it, but that the whole of the world depends on it.
He fights. And he wins. But even a victory is hollow when he can feel his body, bruised and broken and shuddering with every breath.

Summary
Dabi sighs to himself, making his way home. He's not sure if the kid will come back, but he hopes he will.
He's rewarded when the next day the kid is sitting at the park, writing in a notebook. He makes his way to the table and plops himself down, opening the bag and pulling out the pastries, already scooting one to the kid. And if he has two drinks in his hands, warm and chocolatey and sweet, then who else is to know.
Deku smiles up at him and says a quiet hello. Dabi responds, and it is quiet for a moment while they eat.

Summary
Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi was on his sixth cup of coffee in as many hours. He'd manage to get maybe three hours of sleep on the deceivingly comfortable couch in his office before waking up and getting back to work. He'd already written up three different reports for cases he'd been involved in, and he was starting a quiet search party for a missing boy that nobody seemed to care about. To say he was tired is a vast understatement.
But, fueled by caffeine and rage, he pushes through. When his computer pings, he looks up and is pleased to see an email response from one of his closest friends. When he opens it, he can feel some of the tension in his shoulders bleed out. -Three friends, even... Five pro-heroes. A detective. And a beat cop. Hopefully that's enough.-

Summary
Before the age of four, Izuku was a spitfire of a child. His mother's "little monster". Always running off and causing more trouble than even his best friend, Kacchan. He was rambunctious and full of energy. And to make matters worse, he was whip-smart. He was always rambling about heroes and quirks and theories.
He's certain his mother was exhausted by his antics.
But that all changed after a single doctor's appointment.

A look into the years leading up to Izuku becoming a vigilante.
And a small cameo from a very dedicated Detective.Series

Summary
Aizawa Shouta is tired. Between teaching, patrols, and now being involved in a case given to him by a good friend, he's ready for a nap. But, that will have to wait. He has a vigilante to catch, and maybe, just maybe, it'll be worth it.
---
Izuku Midoriya has been living on the streets for longer than he'd like to admit. Within the last year, he's found a schedule that works for him. And okay, maybe he technically became a vigilante. Except that's not quite right. He became... A crime fighter. Yea, vigilante sounds better. A meeting with Eraserhead brings him to Nedzu, and he knows that this is his best chance. But he's not going alone. He's got a family to protect now.

Summary
Izuku wanted to be the number 1 hero when he was a child. He remembers playing with his best friend, Kacchan, for hours. Hero vs Villain. But this was before their quirks manifested. While Katsuki got an equally loud and boisterous quirk as he was, Izuku got... Nothing...
Izuku wanted to be the number 1 hero when he was a child.
He wanted to.
But. Things change.

Summary
Steve Harrington remembers the early years of his life in a haze most of the time. The dramatic and frankly insane shit that had happened in the last few years overshadowing most of the shit he'd gone through previously. But he remembers being thirteen and packing up everything he owned at his old house, in a different state, and moving to a small town in the middle of nowhere.

Summary
He didn’t cry this time. Nor did he cry when they left again, and again. The single days turned into several, turned into a week, turned into a month, turned into months. He did not cry when they left him over and over again. Instead, he just felt hollow. Hollow and alone.
Or:
Steve Harrington has shitty parents. He raised himself, alone in a house that was never a home. Until he was finally shown a way out.Or, Or:
It was a bad couple of nights, and I felt the need to traumatize the boy. It's a lot of introspection. With a happy ending. -

Summary

Summary
Jaskier is a bard, first and foremost. But he's much more than that, not that he would let anyone he didn't have to know. Travelling with Geralt was supposed to be a way out of the shadows of his darker past. Regardless of how long he traveled with the Witcher, his previous colleagues never forgot how he always got his more unsavory jobs done. And so a new job opportunity from an old friend draws him back to Oxenfurt, and onto one of his most dangerous jobs yet.
Despite not wanting his Witcher friend to know every one of his secrets, it becomes a necessity to save him.Alternatively; Jaskier is a BAMF with a dark past and a lot more expertise than he lets show. When a job goes wrong, Geralt ends up saving him, and learning more than Jaskier would have liked.
Will Geralt and Jaskier continue traveling together, or will this be too much for them to overcome together?

Summary
“Geralt. How long have we known each other?” The bard asked with a smirk, he had expected that Geralt had an idea about him, but he didn’t seem to have pieced together anything.
Geralt is confused again as he tries to piece together the math. 20.. No... 40 years? How was that even possible? Unless. Geralt groans in his throat. “What are you?”~~~
Or alternatively, Jaskier gets in trouble again. But this time his 'secret'-not secret- comes out.

Summary
Geralt works as a bodyguard for Yennefer in NYC. He takes the subway to work and back daily. A new busker has turned up, and Geralt would be lying if he said he wasn't attracted to the singer, known only as Dandelion. He spends maybe too much time standing around the nearly empty station while listening to him, but his voice is relaxing.
Geralt ends up stopping a would-be thief from taking off with Dandelion's guitar, and also buys him dinner.
It's just soft and fluff.
