Summary
The boy was convinced, with the kind of terrified fervor that could only come from harsh words and painful blows, that every action he took, every thought he had, every impulse he forgot to suppress, was somehow a failure.
Was somehow rude, or disrespectful, or wrong.
Was somehow worthy of punishment.
So Iroh made tea. And made space. And made plans.
Iroh loves tea, and loves Zuko. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
He had less than a year until he was pulling himself out of the system. He knows it's an awful plan, dangerous at best and a death sentence at worse, but he can't stand to bounce from house to house with promises that "this will be the one". His caseworker has said that about every single house he's been fostered in, all 17 of them, so he doesn't let the words build even the smallest bit of hope as they pull up in front of the cozy-looking house sat on the coast of Newhaven.
Legally, he can become independent at 16. Currently, he's 15. The Watson house only has to deal with him for a few months before he's gone. He just has to hold out those months until he's free.
Would that really make him free?or
Tommy Doe, ward of the state and resident "problem foster kid", plans on becoming emancipated at 16. Phil, Wilbur, and Technoblade might change that plan.

Summary
“ Tommy, let’s talk. “
Phil spoke with the familiar smile he always wore. It seemed genuine but Tommy suspected it was fake.
Tommy had heard that before. Many times, he was about to be sent back.
He knew what was about to happen but he can’t help but feel sad and disappointed. He thought Phil was different, he thought he could finally have a home.
But no, Phil has finally realised how much of a pain in the ass he is. Phil was already tired of him.
Tommy already knew this was eventually going to happen, but it still hurt. He liked when Wilbur would strum softly on his guitar, he liked when Techno would tell him about greek myths, he liked when Phil would crack cheesy dad jokes and he would groan in response, he liked this family.
He didn’t want to leave, not yet
or
Phil wants to adopt Tommy and Tommy can't let that happen.
Title from ' When Love Takes You In ' By Steven Curtis Chapman.

Summary
Tommy runs away from his parents - well, he was kicked out, but what's the difference, really?
He heads to the one place that he thinks he can trust, Wilbur's house. He doesn't expect the ensuing protectiveness from Phil, Techno and Wilbur.
Maybe the true family was the people that looked after him along the way.

Summary
Denki Kaminari's parents are notorious crime lords. He's been raised, tortured, and abused by them from the mere age of three, but no one knows him as their son. He is better known as Golden, the best assassin for hire in the history of the black market. Thanks to years of rigorous training and endless bouts of torture, Kaminari was forced to become the most skilled killer villains had to offer. Whether that was good or bad, he didn't know.
At the age of 13, he gathered the courage to give up killing for evil and run away.
At the age of 15, he enrolled in UA high school and found the family he deserved: Class 1-A. The only problem is, they're way too observant for their own good. And with the return of familiar faces from his past and the revival of deadly conspiracies, it doesn't help that Kaminari's perfect, happy life is beginning to crumble around him either.
Or: all of the times Kaminari's classmates accidentally got a hint about his past and the one time they found out.

Summary
There was a lot that he planned on never, ever telling Sokka. But a part of him, a growing, traitorous part that whispered in his own voice rather than his father’s, desperately wanted to share some of it.
So when Sokka asked, firmly but so, so gently, if he wanted to talk about the scar, he said yes.

“He was too afraid to be himself - goofy, smart, and softhearted - couldn’t afford the social toll it would take on him. Hargrove seemed to see right through him day one, though. Took one look at his cleverly covered crumbling self-esteem and picked him apart piece by piece.
If these rocks decided to give way under him right now, he wasn’t going to object.”
OR
Steve sits on the ledge of the quarry, contemplating death.
Then, Billy happens upon him, mouth fuming with foam and on a rager, and they spit fire with no heat.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya's Quirk was...dangerous. Since the age of four he knew what true nightmares were made of. Demons were the soldiers of hell, and they made it their mission to terrify him for fun. Peeling skin, black sillouhettes, and grating screams that froze him in place where only a part of it. Their words and dark hymns followed him, crushing his body and soul.
But not as much as his mother did. Inko was prone to using her fists and venomous words to beat him down, and she was worse than the demons who followed him day and night.
"God does not shine upon you,"
The demons repeated it like a mantra, and they were all right. God hated them all, the fallen wingless angels who he damned for eternity. He loathed Izuku too, the boy who could see them. Izuku was cursed with an uncontrollable Quirk, but he tamed those demons. They were his, and his alone.
God sneered at him, and he smiled devilishly back. God had given the demons exactly what they needed...
Izuku Midoriya. A King.

Summary
He was tired. So, so tired. His body burned. His mental state felt weak. Everything hurt or was so exhausted. He thought he would collapse when they experimented on him. But they wouldn’t let him.
“Bodrstvovat'!” They would shout.
He missed Alexei. It has been, what, three months since the scientist was taken away. Time was relative here.
“Are you ready, Zero?”
The platform he was standing on lowered into the tank, the breathing helmet placed on his head. He made eye contact with Brenner.
“Remember to look for Eleven this time. Or Jane, whatever you want to call her. Do it, and I won’t punish you. I promise.”
He was so tired. But he couldn’t fail them. Wouldn’t fail them.
