    Summary

    Spiderman, a hero loved by all, no longer becomes the center of attention once the Fantastic Four—a group of so-called heroes that spawned out of nowhere—come along to steal headlines from Peter Parker.

    And leading the charge was The Human Torch. A flame-lit rival with a black suit and an eye mask that kept his identity just out of reach from reporters that angered Spiderman with cocky words every time they interacted.

    Peter Parker didn’t have time for distractions. Not when someone like that was out there, taking his sky, city and attention.

    There really wasn't anything getting to Pete's head until one evening changed that.

    No longer indulged in anything close to headlines or The Human Torch, Michael Jordan now lives rent free in Peter Parker’s head as a distraction Peter never wants to get rid of.

    Somehow, the man behind the flames has the exact same eyes of the man he pines for. The same eyes Peter would get lost in if he allowed himself.

    But how?
    Must be a coincidence.

    Summary

    “Hey,” he says, and his voice is a little higher than Johnny expected, a little breathless. He pushes his glasses up. “Uh. You need a partner? Or- I mean, I need a partner. Obviously. That’s why I’m here. At this bench. With you. Not that you’re a last resort, I just- I was getting coffee, or I had a question about the junction rule, and then I realized I was supposed to be here, so I-” He stops himself, letting out a short, self-conscious laugh. “Hi. I’m Peter.”

    He sticks out his hand, a smear of ink at the side of the thumb, nails bitten to the quick. The handshake is brief, a little too firm, and Peter’s palm is slightly calloused in a way that doesn’t quite match the scatterbrained exterior.

    “Johnny,” he says, leaning his hip against the bench and crossing his arms. “You always this composed on the first day, or am I getting a special show?”

    Johnny Storm, the only survivor of the space expedition, moves to New York. Running from the grief and the past, however, is made complicated by strange, unexplainable transformations and Peter Parker, a biophysics major harboring secrets of his own.

    Summary

    Fortune smiles upon her newest amusement. It is not kind, nor warm, nor comforting, as smiles should be. Her smiles are all cold mirth and cruel promises. She prods him curiously, like a child poking a bruise. To her delighted surprise, he's willing to entertain her whims. Oh, she's going to have fun with this one, and she'll start with the death of his father.
    ~Or~
    The definitive work on the life and times of Blaise Zabini: the good, the bad, and especially the ugly. He's no hero, and he's no saint, but that's why he's perfectly suited to the path before him. If he can avoid trouble, excellence, and keep the skeletons in his closet far from prying eyes, he might make it out alive with none the wiser.

    Summary

    Bakugou starts hooking up with Kirishima after accidentally drinking too much at Kaminari’s birthday. It’s the perfect no-strings-attached situation for two busy pro-heroes when they get a little tipsy and aren’t looking for anything serious. At least, Bakugou isn’t.

    Right?
