The Unitary
My personal collection of works that I feel uphold a higher quality of writing.
May or may not review them, may or may not reread them, but I’m always open to recommendations from anyone. Be aware the content of Bookmarks and Works are different, though there might be some overlap.
Will keep out any explicitly... explicit material such as porn with no plot content as those are mostly just for personal dirty pleasures, regardless of how well the porn or characters are written. That doesn’t bar explicit works from being added if it is minor or can be skipped to viewer’s discretion.
(Open, Moderated)

Summary
Midoriya Izuku always wanted to be just like All Might. That is, until he watched the aftermath caused by All Might's forced retirement at Kamino Ward. Now he finds himself wondering if the Symbol of Peace is actually good for society. Why put so much pressure on the one person at the top that could fall at any time?
Todoroki Shouto was explosively reminded that he wanted to be a hero for himself and not to spite his father. Now he just isn’t sure what type of hero he wants to be. He definitely doesn’t want to be a hero like his father but trying to be like All Might doesn’t seem right either.
-Or-
The fic where Izuku and Shouto separately decide to go into underground heroics. Hitoshi isn't sure what to think about the two with perfect limelight quirks going underground. Aizawa learns there might be a lot more to his students than he expected but is determined to make proper heroes out of them.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Death Need Not Apply by Salt00

Summary
No one noticed when Izuku manifested his quirk. Not at first.
A week later and people began to take notice. After a statistically improbable week without a single death, people took notice. After deadly wounds were shrugged off like nothing, people took notice. Time passed and still no one could die. When the city of Musutafu became engulfed in the phenomenon dubbed 'The Zone', people were wary. No one could uncover what caused The Zone. It was an unknown, some claimed. It went against the laws of the world, some claimed. It was profitable, others claimed.
Humans adapt. It's what they do. When faced with the bizarre, humanity adapts. The strange becomes mundane.
The rest of the world looks on in horror.
Izuku's quirk emits a massive no-kill zone around him. This has consequences.

Have to breathe for a while after this one.
I'm not even that big of a Harry Potter fan, how the fuck do these fics keep getting into my collection >:T
This fandom is full of entirely too talented people. Please write for more fandoms I'm begging and sobbing.My phone is at 8% and when I started this it was at 35%. I feel like I just lost 2 decades of my life. I wish I cried.
Fuck this was astounding. -

Summary
As I write this, I pray that you won’t worry for my safety. I do not delude myself; I have not yet dismissed the notion that this stranger may be dangerous. But I would hope you know that I am more than capable of defending myself, should his motivations begin to come into question. However, I think you will understand my reasoning. I may be far less sociable than either you or your mother, but I do not consider myself to be a poor judge of character.
And there's just something about this man that is far too intriguing to ignore.
