Tale of Two Entrance Exams by Kizmet
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
19 Apr 2024

Summary
U.A's Entrance Exam is a flawed and highly biased test which wrongfully throws up barriers making it much harder for talented potential heroes like Shinsou Hitoshi and Aizawa Shouta to get into the Heroics Course… But before Aizawa failed his entrance exam, Kayama Nemuri passed it with Somnambulist, which, like Erasure and Brainwashing, only works on people, not robots.

Summary
Heroes are kind. Heroes save people. Heroes want to help people no matter what. Heroes are like All Might, smiling regardless of how a tough a fight is. Heroes, Izuku has learned, can also not be heroes at all.
One article about a bad hero turns into four articles, then ten, then twenty and soon the whole country is reading about licensed villains playing at savior. Izuku writes them haphazardly, picking heroes whose wrong doings are masked by their fame. That is, until he meets Endeavor.In other words; the one where Izuku sees the fault in the hero system, makes it his mission to fix it with the help of one burnt fire-user vigilante, and eventually finds himself deeper in this mess than he originally planned.

Summary
here, a chance for kacchan to prove himself once again, with izuku – with deku – as a stepping stone for his development as a hero and as a person. can you collaborate with others? can you work together? izuku knows he’s proven himself more than capable of it, much as he knows this is a test of kacchan’s abilities. so he will sit this one out, and still kacchan has a chance to shine. he can shine against all might. or he can choose to save his clearly injured and unresponsive teammate.

Summary
A cross between a bunny farm escapee and an ear worm (Is there such a thing as an idea worm?), this plotline has been haunting my muses for weeks:
Sharing a startling number of similarities (including troubled mothers and absentee/neglectful fathers, being strung up on flagpoles, a prolonged disillusionment and inability to fit in with early and middle school schoolmates, a propensity to being kidnapped and put in life threatening situations, being generally underestimated in their jobs, and facing on the job exposure to weaponized versions of plague and anthrax - to name a few), what if Tony DiNozzo and Spencer Reid were meant for each other, but not in the way that most of their colleagues would expect given their stereotypical jock and genius profiles.
What if Spencer has a hidden wealth of confidence and skill that his colleagues occasionally witness but only in glimpses (like the shot at the end to the LDSK case)? What if the glimpses seen of Tony's vulnerabilities, empathy, and intuition were more inherent and not just peaking out around the edges?
What if Spencer is Tony's bamf sentinel and Tony is Spencer's empathic (and emotionally fluent (?) at some future point) guide?

For What It's Werth by Brennah_K

Summary
Tony had … mostly… given up the fantasy that Gibbs could or would ever settle into the role of surrogate father. So, it shouldn't have hurt so much to watch Gibbs willingly stretch himself with Damon Werth, the should-have-been-Silver-star-medal-recipient, now disgraced for having taken the illegal but clearly effective route of steroids to overcome an anemic disorder and become the marine's marine he had become.
He should have been used to life's little reality checks, by now. He really should have, but who was he kidding, no matter how much Tony had tried to convince himself that he had grown out of and beyond the need for it, something in Tony still wanted and needed acceptance and approval from his chosen father figure.
But if he hadn't been clinging so desperately to that last little pathetic illusion, it couldn't have gained the mental and emotional power to become his last straw - snapping before the narcotics easing his dislocated shoulder had even worn off. That may have been a blessing, though - in and of itself- allowing Tony to stay numb as he planned his exit from NCIS, the MRCT, and his wistfully-chosen, once-upon-a-time family.

Summary
J'onn J’onzz’s initial imprisonment by the government lands him a friend in his escape, but his friend sticks to shadows, too afraid to show himself. All Flash knows is the Watchtower is definitely haunted, and he will never understand the Martian culture of leaving food in corners, along walls, or other seemingly random places. He does know J'onn gets mad when he eats it, though.
