Summary
Some secrets were never meant to get uncovered--only buried; forgotten.
Unluckily for Roman, he never learned that lesson. So when he decides to buy the abandoned inn at the edge of a humble village, ignoring the rumors he heard from the town, he discovers that there may be more to the place than simply its crumbling foundation.
And one too many shadows.

Standard Extraction Plan, I Guess by Cryptic_Stories

Summary
Roman Phillips: 29-year-old spy assigned to a fairly standard mission. The goal? Find Virgil Morris, an alleged hacker who somehow managed to download the personal information of every spy in Roman's agency--The Rogers Institute for Intelligence and Security (more commonly known as RIIS). But it seems that the unassuming target is far more valuable than RIIS anticipated--something COTECH (RIIS's rival agency) plans to take full advantage of.
With the help of Patton Hart and agent Logan Fletcher, they plan to expose these plans and topple the corrupt rival agency.
They're going to need a lot of coffee.
Excerpt:
Virgil swallowed hard, trying to shove down the thoughts about how attractive this dude looked when he was flustered and focusing on the fact that he had literally just started speaking gibberish: 'What the hell is COTECH? Why am I, of all people, being accused of hacking secret government files? Can you cut fingers on cheekbon—Damn it.'

Summary
"Coffeeshop AU where Virgil is the dead inside barista and Roman is that one guy that comes in almost every morning with the most complicated order and every time he orders Virgil is one step closer to actually killing a man.
Bonus: To be extra petty, Virgil misspells Roman's name as Ramen every. single. time."

Summary
Ba Sing Se University puts on a production of The Phantom of the Opera. Katara Natuk and Zuko Miyazaki, childhood frenemies, are cast as Christine and the Phantom. Neither of them is exactly pleased about being forced so closely together. But music and art are powerful things, and they might just have the power to change a few minds (and hearts) before the final performance.

Summary
“People like us,” Logan had once remarked to Virgil. “Are statistical anomalies.”
(Almost) Everyone in the world has powers. As for those who don’t, well, they’re such a small part of the population - only 0.04% - why would anyone care about them?
Ever since he realized what people mean when they call him Powerless, Virgil Sanders has tried to fight back against the system that oppresses people like him, Patton, and Logan. When Patton’s bakery is targeted in a hate crime, he finally snaps. With the help of a mysterious sponsor, Virgil becomes a villain, ready to remake a broken society. The only thing standing in his way is the world’s most Powerful (and infuriatingly charming) superhero: The Prince, who is hiding the fact that his gilded life isn’t as perfect as it may seem.
