Summary
Shouto Todoroki has a problem.
It's not that he's homeless, not that he has no idea where his next meal is coming from or that his eugenics loving Father gets one step closer to hunting him down every time he uses his quirk. It's not even that he's missed the U.A. entrance date and the entire feature he was bred for has been replaced with just trying to survive between one night and the next. No. Shouto's problem is that apparently every civilian in Japan just so happens to be in trouble whenever he's around, and there never seem to be a Hero close enough to help.
So here he is, stepping up to the mark, again. And again. And again.
He swears, he never intended to be a vigilante.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya, known in the underground as The Green Ghost and to vigilantes as Wraith, survives on information and instinct. By day, he’s just another runaway; by night, he fights in illegal rings and trades intel that keeps him and his team alive. With Katsuki “Fury” Bakugou’s fists and Shoto “Malice” Todoroki’s precision, the three of them patrol the shadows, taking down the kind of filth heroes never see.
But when a whisper about the League of Villains reaches the fight pit—along with a pro hero sighting that could blow their cover—their quiet operation starts to unravel. Secrets blur with survival, loyalty twists into strategy, and for Izuku, every plan is another poem written in blood.
Because in a city built on heroes, sometimes the only way to save people… is to become the monster in the dark.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy wanted his son refined.
Durmstrang gave him opinions, a spine and, Merlin help us, a personality.
After a very public Hippogriff mishap and a Lucius-grade meltdown, Draco Malfoy is promptly shipped off to Durmstrang. The idea is to toughen him up, straighten him out, and remind him who he’s meant to be.
Instead, Draco starts asking questions. Making unlikely friends. Catching feelings he can't quite name. Worst of all? He begins to change and not in the ways his father intended.

A Drop Of Blood Is All It Takes by Miss_Beanie

Summary
It’s ironic, he thinks, how bright his father burns. How his presence commands an entire room. How much of his life is occupied by him. Endeavor’s fire burns through them all, in flames, in anger, in the hurt they bring. He’s the reason Touya died, the reason his mother is locked up in a hospital and the reason Natsuo and Fuyumi could never have a proper family.
Shouto’s imagined his own undoing so many times. He often wonders, as Endeavor’s creation, if he’ll go up in flames, a spectacle for all to see, or if he’ll fizzle out in silence until there’s nothing left but ash. A masterpiece falling from grace. Sometimes he even wonders if one day he’ll burn himself up like Touya had. He imagines Endeavor’s reaction, as he once again conceals a dead Todoroki and continues to live without guilt for the children he destroyed.
In the end, his unravelling begins with a single drop of blood.
Alternatively: after moving into the dorms and finally learning how to relax, the years of abuse Shouto suffered at the hands of Endeavor finally start to catch up to him and he finds himself not knowing how to handle it.

Summary
“I heard of him!” An old man shouted from the crowd, “His own father burned and disowned him! He’s that banished prince!”
A woman’s voice whispered, “He said he’s with the Avatar? I don’t believe an ashmaker would ever…”
“Mama, is he here to hurt us?” a child asked their mother.
Blood rushed in Zuko’s good ear. His scar prickled.
This, he thought as he all but fled the scene, This is the price of being Zuko.
This is what I get for being me.

Or, the one where Zuko has a truly awful time. Oh- I'm sorry, the one where Lee has a bad time. Lee. Right.
