Summary
During his second year at Aldera, Izuku realizes that the hero industry isn't nearly as noble as he thought. It leaves him angry, crushed, and looking for an answer.
"Look," Shinsou huffed, "Heroes who act like that are basically villains. Worse, since they’re supposed to help people. So if we become heroes - whatever that means - then we can get those guys, too.”
The words spark something in Izuku’s brain - something big and amorphous and intriguing. "...like vigilantism?"
"Like...keeping an eye on the shitty heroes. Doing what the Commission won't." Izuku slowly nods, and they grin at each other.
Or: Izuku and his friends become a government watchdog and attempt to terrify the hero industry into change. Of course, it's not that simple.
NOT ABANDONED - BEING REWRITTEN. thanks for your patience :)

Summary
In which shit goes down in no particular order: Jim almost starts a war, Spock gets tortured, Jim gets kidnapped, Jim gets tortured, Spock gets not-quite-kidnapped, Jim takes the Enterprise joyriding, and mysterious Vulcans with their even more mysterious leader hop a ride for a few weeks. But that’s not what the story’s about. It’s about this: Jim was always going to fall in love with Spock – boldly, recklessly. He just didn’t expect to stay that way. A story about getting over all that.

The admiralty wants Spock to captain his own ship. Neither Kirk nor Spock wants him to leave the Enterprise. When they find a regulatory loophole that might prevent their separation, they take it, and damn the consequences.

Summary
For as long as even the old Gaffer could remember there had been a wizard living in the hill at Bag End, overlooking the Shire. As wizards went, this one wasn't the wandering sort, always out to lure gentle folk out onto nasty adventures, or even the powerful kind, the sort that lived in high towers, reaching out into the ways of the world.
