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.

Summary
It'll be fine, Arthur had said. It'll be fun, Arthur had promised. And really Merlin only has himself to blame because when have any of their trips been anything other than a disaster. Because there are venomous thistles that want to kill them, and their poisoned barbs make Arthur say more than he should. Merlin wants him to stop talking before they both do something they might live (if they're lucky) to regret.

Summary
Prompt:
I'm a heavy sleeper and my alarm is so loud and obnoxious, you have to wake me up in some way to switch it offExcerpt:
The oldest (and the most gorgeous!) of the three boys stepped forward, "Do I know you?"
"Uh, I am Merlin, from room 222."
"So I don't know you."
"No", he let his hand drop.
The older boy smirked, "And yet you called me "friend"."
"That was my mistake."
"Yes, I think so. Tell me Merlin, do you know how to walk on your knees?"
Merlin smirked, "Yes, I can teach you if you like. I think you would look good on your knees for me."
