Combating Unfairness by Flapjack09

Summary
“Expelled on the first day? That’s not fair!” Mina frustratedly protested.
Aizawa turned to the girl, a smirk slowly forming on his face. “Natural Disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains. Calamities whose time or place can’t be predicted. Japan is covered with unfairness. And it’s our job as heroes to combat that unfairness.”
Izuku misinterprets those words and decides to combat the unfairness that is Shota Aizawa.

Summary
This is a bit Alternate Universe – based on the idea that Michael suffered a lot of trauma over his time as Michael Knight, and Bonnie and Devon didn't always seem to acknowledge that. What if Kitt was the only one to notice his human needed more than a job and a new face, and stepped up to give it to him?

"Respect and obedience to a higher rank was more clear-cut and ingrained in the military culture. While Gibbs tried to carry that over into his job at NCIS, it wasn't always a smooth blend with a non-military work environment. And, he realized, his lack of awareness about this had led him to a poor response in addressing it."

Summary
“Asked me if I was the Chinese food delivery guy on my first day.” Chim contributed in a whisper, like he was afraid Buck might wake up and hear. Maybe he felt disloyal admitting it now. It was no secret to anyone paying attention how much Chim loved Buck, even if he often pretended to be exasperated with him.
Hen nodded solemnly. “One of the many people who wouldn’t even acknowledge me when I started.”
It was news to Eddie, and apparently Ravi too, but not Cap, who resolutely stared down at the table in front of him, shaking his head.
“Oh, so he fucking sucks.” Ravi contributed casually, never one to pull punches with his thoughts.
No one responded, but the agreement was in the air.

Eddie starts gathering information about why no one trusts Tommy. As he grows to hate their relationship more, he learns more about himself and what he wants.

Summary
Eddie shrugs. “We can just order in, it's fine.” He turns to look at Buck, mirrors his position from his spot next to the sink. “You do know you don’t have to cook every night, Buck.”
“I feel bad.” Buck admits. “I’m staying over, you buy groceries, you do laundry, you drive us to work. I wanna repay you somehow.”
Eddie shakes his head. “You’re staying over because I asked you to. I do those things because you’re my best friend and I want you to be comfortable. You don’t have to do anything to repay me.” He pauses, looks right at Buck. “You do enough by just existing by my side.”
(or, buck offers his apartment to bobby and athena, and living with eddie is easy.)

Summary
Christopher peered at him, his eyes bigger through his lenses. “Why?”
Buck nearly choked. “Why? Why… what? I mean, I’m bisexual, if that’s what you’re—”
“Oh, no.” Christopher shook his head, “I just meant, if you’re dating men, why aren’t you dating Dad?” Which simply did not help Buck’s choking problem.
Buck really, truly had never pictured Eddie’s son asking him these questions, specifically why he wasn’t dating Eddie.
“Uh— your Dad isn’t— we’re not—”
“Oh.” A pause.
“I don’t want you to date Dad.”

----
When he started at the 118, he had been a straight man and target for Chimney’s jokes, a bratty little punk to Hen’s big sister, a reckless son for Bobby, all while being a competent team mate as soon as the sirens blew. It’s no wonder he lost himself a little, playing the chameleon for everyone else. And somehow, he just never quite managed to break out of those roles.
----
Maddie should never have had to raise him, and he was so grateful she did…but she never really saw him as grown-up.

Summary
“Looking back on everything, it really shouldn’t have taken Eddie that long to realize he was in love with his best friend. They’d been stumbling toward each other in the dark for as long as he could remember, and then one day it was like someone had finally turned on the lights so he could see who he was really reaching for all this time.”
(A 7b canon-divergence in which Eddie heals from old wounds and Buck finds the something he’s been looking for, and these two things are absolutely connected)

Summary
Evan’s trying to get his best friend moving to Texas off his mind. Lou is trying to distract himself from a case that he shouldn’t be working on, even as a case from his past haunts him. They run into each other and spend an evening in easy conversation. That should be the end of it, but talking for them is easy, and when life gets increasingly complex and sometimes disastrous, they turn to one another. In their own way, they each need to let go of the past in order to move forward, and sometimes that’s easier with someone who understands you.

Summary
Picking up his receiver in exasperation, Len opened his mouth to greet the caller with the standard 'Homicide, Snart,' but was drowned out by the pitiful, whining voice rushing to speak.
“Oh my God, Joe, I can’t believe I let you and Iris talk me into it! I’m never listening to anything you say ever again for as long as I live, which—God—hopefully isn't much longer! I don’t think I’ve ever been this embarrassed in my entire life! I’m talking worse than that time in eleventh grade when you caught me in the backyard with Carter Cassidy! I'm never going to be able to go to that coffee shop again! God, Joe, I asked him out and he looked horrified! He thought I was only fifteen. Fifteen! I don’t look that young, do I? You know what, don’t answer that. Guys at the precinct call me ‘baby-faced Barry Allen’ behind my back and I’m not totally convinced you didn’t start it…”
Ah. Barry, the remarkable foster son West was always going on about. This should be fun.“I assure you, Barry, I most certainly did not start that nickname,”
“Uhh...you’re not Joe,”
“Correct. I’m his new partner.”
-Partners at the precinct share extensions and Len finds out just how often Joe West's children call from college.

"Most of the change in [Maddie's] life she didn’t choose for herself,” Buck said. “She ran to me with only a vague idea where I was, and then she acted as if there had never been a time when we didn’t speak, or when we didn’t see each other at least weekly. I think she may have held onto her picture of me as a way to keep sane. And now she can’t let it go.”
