    Summary

    In a city like Gotham, information is currency. And you've made a career out of getting people to talk.

    Not by force. Not with threats. Just a salon chair, a mirror, and the kind of silence that makes people fill it with secrets. Affairs. Deals. Who’s moving into which block. Who’s gone missing. Who’s about to.

    You’re not a vigilante. You don’t wear a mask. You just know when something’s about to crack - and lately, Gotham’s been humming like a live wire.

    And you weren’t supposed to matter. Not to anyone.

    And especially not to the man who just blew up a bar because you said it gave you a bad feeling.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

    But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

    Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

    (This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

    Summary

    Jack is used to the stillness of the woods, how sometimes there are sounds that are better left alone. But this time...this time something feels different. There is something strange about these woods, something that, if faced, shouldn't be faced alone.

    At least he has Connor to help him out. And if Jack might have developed a crush on the man, then, well, no one needs to know, right?

    Summary

    People who lived outside of Gotham City would most often think of it in terms of its heroes and villains. About Batman and Robin, Joker and Harley Quinn.

    People who actually live in Gotham City would only think of one thing: surviving.

    Who cares about the people in costumes when your house has been bombed for the fifth time, or your wife has been taken hostage just because she worked in a bank?

    Or, in your case, when you have to make regular deliveries to places where even Batman feared to tread?

    Because let's face it. In a world full of superheroes and costumed villains, the real heroes are the ones who make sure that people get their pizzas in forty-five minutes or less.
