Summary
During his second year at Aldera, Izuku realizes that the hero industry isn't nearly as noble as he thought. It leaves him angry, crushed, and looking for an answer.
"Look," Shinsou huffed, "Heroes who act like that are basically villains. Worse, since they’re supposed to help people. So if we become heroes - whatever that means - then we can get those guys, too.”
The words spark something in Izuku’s brain - something big and amorphous and intriguing. "...like vigilantism?"
"Like...keeping an eye on the shitty heroes. Doing what the Commission won't." Izuku slowly nods, and they grin at each other.
Or: Izuku and his friends become a government watchdog and attempt to terrify the hero industry into change. Of course, it's not that simple.
NOT ABANDONED - BEING REWRITTEN. thanks for your patience :)

bitten tongues and heavy eyes by Tatortot367
Fandoms: Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan

Summary
Every night for the past two weeks, Percy Jackson has had the same exact dream. To most people, that would be an odd happenstance but nothing to write home about. To Percy, who's dreams had always shown him more than most and, more importantly, had almost never repeated themselves, the repetition of this one specific scene was...concerning, to say the least. Every night he woke with the searing heat of a poisoned tree running through his veins, and every night he fell apart just a little bit more.
The more Percy's dreams repeated, the more obvious it became that they wouldn't stop showing him the same thing over and over again until Percy fixed the problem. The problem being the dying tree that had once been Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus.

Summary
After he commits every single weapon in the hold to memory, Din finds himself cataloging more and more things about Skywalker instead, small observations that carve out a space in his mind unbidden.
---
As much as Din likes to tell himself that he’s just been taking a well-deserved break, the truth is that for the six months following their daring rescue he’s been nothing but truly and utterly lost. That is until Luke Skywalker gives him a ship and hires him to help figure out what the hell the Empire needed the Child’s blood for.
As they drift through the empty void of hyperspace, they slowly find unexpected companions in each other and realize their respective paths might not be as set as they once thought.
