Casing You: (Un)Characteristic
Fics in which an author has deliberately chosen to make a character act (at least somewhat) OOC (or, occasionally, more in character, thanks to bad writing/directing/executive decisions)
Often to highlight something about them as a character, &/or those around them)
(Occasionally simply in response to changed circumstances)
Some fics in which characters simply make (significantly) different choices to those made in canon,
Or which focus on character growth.
: ... is not a doormat (e.g. Tony/Izuku stands up for himself)
: ... makes a kinder choice (e.g. Talia takes Jason home)
: ... makes(/continues) a bad choice (e.g. Chim post-punch)
(Closed, Moderated)

Summary
This is a bit Alternate Universe – based on the idea that Michael suffered a lot of trauma over his time as Michael Knight, and Bonnie and Devon didn't always seem to acknowledge that. What if Kitt was the only one to notice his human needed more than a job and a new face, and stepped up to give it to him?

Summary
In Tim’s haze of fire, he ends up with a thought that turns everything into ice.
It’s been a year since he came back with Bruce and he never got an apology.
So Tim walks up to his older brother who’s now taken a step backward with slightly widened eyes at the smile- the cold and very wide grin that’s taken place on Tim’s face very quickly, very suddenly -and he walks straight up to the man in front of him, puts his hands on his shoulders, and knees him straight in the dick.
Casually stepping over his older brother practically crying on the edge of the platform, and ignoring the gobsmacked look shared among Tam, the security guards, and most of the press who caught it all on camera, he walks over to wooden stand with the microphone and begins nonchalantly talking about the unfortunate mistake made by someone he doesn't care about in a division that’s so unimportant he was literally thinking about shutting it down a few weeks ago.
The questions asked by the press weren’t on topic at all.

Summary
Heroes are kind. Heroes save people. Heroes want to help people no matter what. Heroes are like All Might, smiling regardless of how a tough a fight is. Heroes, Izuku has learned, can also not be heroes at all.
One article about a bad hero turns into four articles, then ten, then twenty and soon the whole country is reading about licensed villains playing at savior. Izuku writes them haphazardly, picking heroes whose wrong doings are masked by their fame. That is, until he meets Endeavor.In other words; the one where Izuku sees the fault in the hero system, makes it his mission to fix it with the help of one burnt fire-user vigilante, and eventually finds himself deeper in this mess than he originally planned.
