    Summary

    Living well is the best revenge, so they say. In Jake's quiet fury at the dismissive, heartless way everyone spoke of his brother's death and the complete lack of empathy he found at every turn and corner, he decides to find a way to live the best life he can possibly conceive, with the opportunity Tommy left behind for him: a fresh start on a new world... just not exactly the way the RDA vultures meant.

    (In which Jake Sully pulls the ultimate con on every person who failed to treat his brother's memory with respect, and every person who failed to be kind to their fellow man.)

     

    ((Previously 'From the Ashes.'))

    (On hiatus, not abandoned.)

    Summary

    A long silence was on the other line, with the sound of someone’s clothes shuffling like they were moving. “Hello? Smitt,y you there?” I spoke into the phone, more silence. Butt di, almost lik,ely I thought, happens all the time. Just as I pressed the phone to hang up, my finger hovering over the red button, a drunk voice spoke. “Heeeey, _____” It was Smitty, who was clearly not sobercheckedheck the time one more time just to make sure I didn’t make a mistake, yup, it was still in fact 12:15 AM. What he could be doing is drinking at this hour. “Smitty,” I started, “Are you…drunk?”
     

    Smitty took a while before answering “Yup”, popping the p.

     

    OR

     

    You get a drunk call from Smitty, which leads you to visit his home to take care of him til he sobered up.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.

    So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.

    The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’

    This fic has a discord.
