Raging Inferno by SeanDion

In Qorluna, a city where skyscrapers claw at the sky and magic pulses through the streets, John Walker tries to escape his past. Once a soldier, now a man haunted by memories of war and loss, he keeps to the shadows, searching for a life beyond the violence that defined him. But in a world where ancient spells linger and new threats emerge, peace is elusive. When a string of disappearances and strange magical disturbances sweep the city, John is forced back into action. Dark forces are rising, intent on harnessing forgotten powers, and John's unique abilities might be the key to stopping them. As he confronts old allies, dangerous enemies, and unsettling truths about Qorluna's hidden past, he must decide how far he's willing to go to protect a city that may never offer him redemption. With every step, he faces a brutal choice: fight for a world that may never accept him, or let it all burn. In the end, survival may come at a cost even he isn't prepared to pay. Psa: this is in draft form. Expect changes

Lie Like a Villain by avadel

When your entire life has been a lie, who do you trust? * * * If you'd asked Jason Williams about his life, he would have told you it was fairly normal. Sure, his family moves at least once a year, and yes, his teenage sister needs a full-time caretaker -- not that it's any of your business. Except then his parents get captured by the police, and right before, his mom reveals three things: 1. His last name is not Williams 2. Absolutely no one can be trusted 3. His sister must be protected at all costs Add a gunshot wound, a fiery ex-gang member, and powers no one can explain, and you get trouble bigger than Jason can take on alone. But when anyone could be an enemy, just who do you turn to for help? * * * On hiatus for ONC Add it to your library to get notifications!

"If you need money, go get a job!" "I have a job!" "A real job, not blowing up the city -" "This is a real job, Stormy. It keeps you employed. I don't have to pay TAXES." ~ Super Storm is your typical superhero with stunning blonde hair and high morale. Gravel is your typical supervillain with a slight obsession over a certain someone's beautiful blonde hair and a mission he doesn't want to complete. Now let's say Gravel meets someone who uses the same shampoo as Super Storm. Let's say they bond over tennis. Let's say Gravel's sidekick isn't particularly fond of what's unfolding.

City of Masks: Vigilante origins by TipsyWizard

Abominations, freaks, monsters; society has forever ostracized those who stand out. And when the discovery of a new mineral leads to people developing supernatural abilities, these "Abnormals" are treated no differently. However in the wake of a catastrophic event that left everyone wondering whether it was the end, everything changed. Now Abnormals are appreciated more than ever as an era of Superheroes was born, inspired by the heroes who saved the World! But this story isn't about those heroes, instead we follow Elliot Campbell, seventeen years later, in the waning years of Superhero popularity. Elliot is your average bystander who struggles everyday to stay above rock bottom, except for one big problem; he is an absolute loser, incapable of making correct decisions. That is until he is offered the power to change the course of his life forever. He could become an Abnormal or even more hopeful he could become a Superhero! Except that the way he would get his powers isn't exactly above board & the people he would be joining are fighting crime outside of the law. Is this the chance he must take to turn his life around or just another BIG mistake in a long long list of them?
