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 :)

-
Or; Whitaker is a vampire and trying his best to stay hidden, even as his feelings for Robby become more complicated than his secret.

“Where’d you get that from?” Santos asks.
“The food? It’s from Doctor Robby,” Dennis says without thinking. “Oh, wait. I meant- the food’s from Chau’s. We- I got it on the walk home.”
Her eyes narrow.
“Was there a team dinner or something?”
“No,” Dennis mumbles. “It was just us.”
