    Summary

    It's easy to pull the trolley lever when people are lining up to lay down on it.

    It's a lot more difficult when you have to tie down someone kicking and screaming.

    or, how Eva Stratt came to sacrifice Ryland Grace.

    Summary

    Stoick the Vast, under the advisement of his best friend, had intended to allow his son into dragon training with the other kids his age, but he allowed his son to speak first and decided to honor his wishes. Hiccup would not fight dragons, and as a result, fate moved slightly to the left.

    Hiccup would not use what he learned while befriending Toothless to move up the ranks in dragon training and gain the attention of the entire village and the ire of Astrid. Instead, he would slowly fade into the background until no one even realized when he was missing from the village for days or even weeks at a time.

    Most importantly, his connection to dragons wouldn't be exposed to the world for quite some time.

    Which worked out for him and Toothless as the two had a growing flock to protect and rule as the draconic Kings of the Wilderwest.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt may have been prepared to tackle the Petrova-line problem, but Ryland Grace, his daughter, and the chaos they seem to generate effortlessly are beyond her pay grade.

    In the middle of impossible deadlines, international crises, and the Hail Mary Project slowly turning into the world’s strangest childcare collective, Eva finds herself growing attached despite every attempt not to.

    Project Hail Mary is no place to raise a child, but perhaps it takes more than a village.

    Perhaps it takes an entire aircraft carrier full of people from dozens of nationalities to raise one little girl while the world ends around her.

    Summary

    "I can't be a hero," Izuku said firmly, subconsciously punching a purse snatcher that passed by him. "I don't have a quirk."

    All Might squinted. "Are you sure?"

    -

    Midoriya Izuku gave up his dream of becoming a hero a long time ago, and not long after, realized how corrupted society was. In a world where quirks were the basis of everything, he didn't stand a chance, instead opting to provide for his mom and live a normal life.

    Now, if only everybody would stop pestering him to be a hero!

    Or:
    Aizawa was concerned for this new Problem Child who accidentally apprehended villains
    Toshinori kept getting rejected like a school girl with a crush
    Tsukauchi wanted less paperwork
    Bakugou wanted the shitty nerd to become a hero
    And Izuku just wanted to get a job
