    Summary

    Being a vigilante was both good and bad. Good because he could help people, and helping people made Izuku feel useful. Bad because it meant he attracted attention from both heroes and villains, and neither were usually friendly.

    Take the number one villain for example. Izuku really wasn’t sure what he had done to garner All Smite’s attention, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to find out either. Each time he appeared, the man somehow managed to sneak up on Izuku, who would shriek in fear and run away as fast as he could. All Smite would then let out that bellowing laugh of his and give chase.

    He would purposefully stay just behind Izuku, calling out his vigilante name in a haunting way—something in between a taunt and croon that raised all the hair on Izuku’s arms.

    It was driving Izuku nuts; keeping him from sleeping. He had no idea how the villain kept finding him, or what he had planned for him.

    But he was about to find out.

    Summary

    “A meeting,” Tony doesn’t even bother to hide his incredulity.

    “Yes.”

    “With the Galactic Empire,” he attempts to lighten his own mood with the joke, but the response he gets from Ross makes the blood freeze in his veins.

    “They call themselves the Unitary Galactic Communia, actually.”

    If Tony lets his silence speak for itself, it’s only partially because his throat is closing up on him at an alarming rate.

    “I know it sounds bad at first—“

    “Oh no no no, not at all,” Tony interjects quickly, “this is wonderful news. A communia. A unitary one. Sounds very… organized. They must be people who know how to keep an army. Of galactic proportions. This is great, really. Not debilitatingly frightening in the least.”

    ...
    Alternatively: the freshly pardoned Rogues have complaints, Tony is dead on his feet, and Steve has issues with the handsome alien lord who keeps offering Stark the literal universe.

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)
