Summary
Lin Ling woke up in Nice’s past.
Above his head, Loli stood with her arms cocked in a batter's swing.
His day didn't really improve from there.--
Or: Company-sanctioned body-doubling was a lot easier than actually taking over Nice's life.
The death-triggered time loop was also unfortunate.Series

Summary
In the weeks leading up to the Hero Tournament, TREEMAN dumps a new responsibility onto Lin Ling: looking after their former hero Nice, freshly revived from the dead.

And that's not even including the Hero Tournament coming up in less than a month...
"Let's just—here, I'll get off you first, so—"
PUNCH.
"Ow!"

Summary
In the wake of Nice’s reappearance at the tournament, Lin Ling considers whether he would’ve done anything differently. Only months before, he had watched the man fall to his death. Now Nice stands before him looking like the broken pieces of a figurine put back together.
Uncovering the mess that lies behind Treeman is one thing. Trying to save Nice is another.
But he must save him. Even if Nice doesn’t want to be saved.

Summary
Society could never know how much Trust value affected the everyday life of their heroes, Smile could understand how disastrous that would be.
No, he wouldn’t change society’s ignorance, but he would have liked for the Hero Agencies to give a warning to the new rising heroes, who still were at the start of their career, to be very, very careful with how they branded themselves. Smile still flinched every time he thought about Firm-man’s side effects for too long.
Aka: The young hero was starting to struggle, considering the way Nice clung to Smile’s forearm like he wanted nothing more than to pull him into a hug and hide from the world at large. Considering his brand had him presented as the ‘perfect hero’, Smile wasn’t too surprised. He didn’t want to even imagine the kind of pressure that was placed on those young shoulders.

Summary
Really, the last thing Wreck could’ve expected after weeks of not seeing Nice in person was to have the man show up at his doorstep unannounced, in the middle of the night, half-dead and unconscious.
Well, more like crashed into his doorstep, would be a more accurate way to describe how he’d turned up.
-or-
Wreck starts to realize things are much worse than he imagined. He decides to do something about it.

Summary
Loneliness is Yang Cheng's new normal, but he finds company in someone so familiar and yet completely different from everything he's ever known.
Nice is tired of always wearing the mask, it feels stuck somehow, funny that the weird loner #9 hero seems to have the same problem, just in a literal sense.

Summary
Lin Ling secured the opportunity of a lifetime and finally had his chance to work with Moon in person as a Production Coordinator. Unfortunately for him, life had other plans. His quick wit landed him working for Nice instead. This would have only been a small setback for his ultimate goal, except for the fact Nice persistently pushed his boundaries everyday.

Summary
Canon Divergence. Demon AU.
Nice let go of Lin Ling’s face and pulled his phone out. Instantly Lin Ling saw several current news articles and videos covering the scene and Nice saving him. Countless comments were underneath praising Nice as well as Lin Ling for trying to save the kids himself. Some comments were even focusing on an image of Nice holding Lin Ling in the air, Nice’s face thankfully obscured so no one could see his demonic side. The camera’s focus was on Lin Ling tightly clinging to Nice. All of those comments were calling their meeting cute, borderline swooning at the thought that perhaps something else would bloom from their meeting.
“W-What the hell?” Lin Ling’s face turned pink. “This has to be a prank.”
“Afraid not. Many of my fans and the public alike think our meeting is rather adorable. A hero saving a citizen who’s a rather cute young man? People were bound to take the story and run it in a romantic direction.”
Instead of saving Moon, Nice saves Lin Ling and begins to fake date him. (Oh, and Nice is also a demon. Not that anyone would believe Lin Ling if he told them.)

Summary
There's no way Lin Ling could ever think of Nice as anyone besides a big hero. Someone like that just has too much of a presence. Thinking of him as lesser was just out of his ability. So he couldn't think of him as just a person, no matter how many times Nice asks him to.

The cat-like thing paused as its beady round perfectly circle pink eyes looked up at him. “ Or…no, not a magical girl. ”
“ Sorry, I chose the wrong words, you see I’m more used to helping young girls but I made an exception for you!”
Lin Ling didn’t budge, shoulders still tense and eyes still widened.
“ Make a contract with me and become a hero!”

The Children Are Not Okay (X Will Adopt Them) by FallenStarsHaveCopperRust
Fandoms: 凸变英雄X | To Be Hero X (Cartoon)

Summary
X was, in all honesty, flabbergasted. What was this? National commit suicide day? What was with young people and jumping off roofs these days? It wasn’t unusual to save people from suicide as a hero, but it must be some kind of record to save two people from the same rooftop within an hour. And it must be a separate thing in itself that one of those people was a hero who could fly and was the paragon of perfection. Oh, the irony.
In which X saves both Lin Ling and Nice at that rooftop, consequently becoming their therapist and adopting them (none of them realizes the adoption happened).
Shifting POVs!

Summary
“You can do me a favor,” Nice says, smiling, “pick up your chair, and straighten up your desk while you’re at it. Keyboard, mouse, that cup of pens that apparently only exists for you to chew on — throw those out, actually, that’s disgusting. I can’t do it myself and it’s making my skin crawl.” He sighs, rolls his eyes. “You’d think being dead would at least mean the OCD isn’t a factor, but I guess the only real perk is not being alive.”
He says it so casually, so cavalier — like what can you do? — that Lin Ling briefly wonders if he’s insane for having such a strong reaction to Nice’s apparent death.
Oh, god. Dead. Nice is dead.
Lin Ling stares at Nice. Nice smiles back, hollow eyed and no less smug for it.
He’s dead and he’s haunting… my office building?

It only takes a moment to change someone's life. If that encounter on the roof had happened differently, what would have happened to Nice? Would it have changed anything, or would he have accepted forever living in this facade the public had painted of him?
or
Lin Ling stops Nice from ending his life and it changes the trajectory of their lives forever. Found family shenanigans ensue, among other things.
