In a world with powers, those with them are not too out of place. In a world with heroes and villains, a fight on your way to work may be the cause of you being late. In a world of truths, lies come far-
wait, what? What do you mean the line is supposed to be- ok fine. 
In a world full of lies, the truth comes a few far in between.
Alex Kline has lived in Baymeadow, Fairdela for nearly five years now and is a vigilante. Doing work that heroes on their pedestal don't wish to do, Alex could be considered a hero. Except they don't wish to be. Most heroes are known and could be anybody walking down the street. Alex wishes to stay in the shadows and work at their job and just be able to keep up with their rent. But when their identity is revealed to the world through an anonymous sender in the news, Alex freezes for the first time in many years and doesn't know what to do. When the most notorious villain in Baymeadow sends them a letter to meet with her and gives them an offer to fix all of this, Alex doesn't quite turn it down. But when the two stumble upon something they cannot not continue to dig up, well, let's just say they have a ways to keep digging.All Rights Reserved

【 ꜰᴏʀᴍᴇʀ ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ! ꜰ. ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ x ᴍ!ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ 】 This world has never felt real to you, especially when you found yourself obsessed with a certain boy in your class. It doesn't help that you felt some kind of force whispering to you to kill him in order to prove your love. So, you did. Strangely, the world seemed to be against him dying, because you found time kept repeating itself each time he died. You kept murdering him until a sudden epiphany dawned on you, as if you had broken away from the force controlling you. You were a character in a game-a villain who would always kill the protagonist. However, as if the developers knew you were no longer controllable, they replaced you so the boy you were obsessed with would still die and time would never move forward. Hence, you took it upon yourself to protect him. But why does the protagonist seem to be acting strange?

feel it! (m!yanderes x f!reader) by dawnwritesstuff

(m!yandere!superhero x f!reader x m!yandere!supervillain) you are secretly in love with your childhood best friend who has shown you no indication as to whether or not your feelings are reciprocated. that's fine though! you can keep the crush under wraps- especially since he has bigger fish to fry than silly feelings when he's one of the strongest superheroes in the world. it's enough to just be in his orbit (or so you tell yourself). things go to shit though when he's called away to a mission across the world from you. while it's sad to not be near your bff/wanna-be-lover, the real issue is that his sidekick and nemesis seem to be a bit obsessed with you, and he's not there to offer you any assistance in avoiding their super powered advances towards you. hopefully he finishes up that mission before the unhinged supers destroy the entire country in the pursuit of your love! crossposted on quotev. please do not republish anywhere.

Tommyinnit's Tome Of Magic by JordanBright0

Now posting this on Ao3 too. It's under the name CloudedInk so maybe you could stop by and say hi! Tommy, after leaving work is given a book and witnesses a fight between a villain named Mage and two heroes named Anaglyph and Warden. 2 years later, he starts learning magic, with Mage training him to become the new Tome user. Tommy must choose himself if he wishes to become a hero or a villain and chooses to become a vigilante to start off with. But meet a missing hero and his friend, he uncovers secrets about the heroes that he never knew. Tommy can use this to his advantage, hold it over the heroes heads and threaten to release everything. Can Tommy live in a world of superpower and people who've been in the industry longer than he has? With only magic? Words - 80,944 Chapters - 32/?? Note: writing will be all over the place as i'm still trying to stay to a plot line. It'll make zero sense btw. And near the end it starts moving slower since i've kinda lost motivation. Probably because i winged most of it and didn't make a script. Some characters personalities will be OOC as I didn't look into their personalities until halfway through the story T-T Many plot holes where i forget about something and contradict it at a later chapter.

Heroes at Heart by TwylaGrimm

"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business." Max Owens is your average high school sophomore. Well, he tries to be, at least. At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly. Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they? We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart. (Based on a writing prompt / story request by tumblr user "fallingivy")

Shocking Memories by Benjamin_Coe

A young woman wakes up in the hospital, with no memories other than the fact she had just been horribly injured in a fight, and she has superpowers. It's hard to be surprised by such news when it is the only memory you possess. Superpowers are just a fact of life at that point. The superpowers news turned out to be quite original for the rest of the world, which was entirely unaware someone like her existed at all. There is, however, an underground world of others like her, a criminal empire working toward something she had been trying to stop. But with no knowledge of what the villainous plan was, who these criminals were, or how to properly use her powers, things seem grim. She knows she is the only one who can stop them, and the only backup she has is a man who claims to have been her friend from before the accident. Will she be able to train her powers up, and stop the devious master plan before it's too late?

Darkened Hearts by signedbyleah

It all started with a superhero, one who vowed to help save the world and use her powers for good....But how can one keep a promise if they don't remember making it? What happens when the lines to right and wrong blur? When promises have to be broken? When the one thing you thought you could never lose, your morality, comes into question. What happens when the only person in the world that understands you is the person you believed was evil. But a reputation can be fabricated, evidence can be tampered and memories can be manipulated. How does one decide who's good and who's bad? Who's the hero and who's a villain? Maybe the only real difference between the two is a change in perspective or perhaps keeping an open mind. Sometimes even a "Villain" has a good side and even a "Hero" has a bad one...so what would happen if they were to see eye to eye?....Who would be there to pull them from the deep end?...or maybe the high tide is exactly where they want to be.

No Superheroes Allowed by Amgeek

Long ago a group of superheroes and villains worked together to prevent an invasion. But they managed to kill more people than they saved. Their destruction caused the perception of those with powers to dramatically shift; to the point of outcast. 50 years later crime as only increased to the point where not even the police respond to calls. Few heroes went into hiding to 'play normal'; like my family and I. I live in New Haven City. I've been lucky enough that I don't have powers that attract too much attention --- Everything was going great. Everything was normal. Until Jamie was forced to confront the reality of her situation. The mayor who has been running the NSA was beginning to take drastic measures. Sending many supers off to another island. Stealing their powers. Forcing others to betray their own kind. The victims of these horrific acts are not taking that lightly. Why not make a team of heroes? A team that doesnt give a shit what the NSA or the Mayor has to say. A team of young teens who probably don't even listen to each other. That will save the world...

Writetober 2019 by krhoades11

I saw an Inktober post with several words that jumped out at me. So, I've turned it into a set of writing prompts. Most, if not all, of these will be from Being a Hero's universe. I hope y'all enjoy.

Just the janitor | Yandere heroes x male reader by Axe_InTheRogue

In a world of superpowered beings, it's natural some become heroes to try and better the world such as Scarlett the Bold, Janice the shield, Mary the healer, and the one everyone fawns over: Stardust. As cheesy as it is to say, "With great power comes with great responsibility." So they formed the hero's guild under the name: Justice. To keep not only themselves in check but any future heroes who come to take up the mantle of preserving peace and justice. And then there's you; No powers, no great feats of achievement. Just a regular person trying to go about his days worrying about the future rather than saving lives. After hearing your mother complain about your need to get a job after graduation, you come across an advertisement online that grabs your attention. Not knowing what the future has in store for you, we can only pray god will have mercy on your soul. -------------------------- Hey guys welcome back to another story I hopefully won't delete after a week again! I've got nothing else going on, and I'm seeing a lack of male reader yandere stories recently. The yandere tag is filled with girl stuff that I can't read lmao. Anyways, I've got basically nothing going on outside of work so expect frequent updates. Until I hit burnout, but we'll find out how it goes. But I do hope you enjoy this story! There are some warnings as it'll get dark, fairly quickly. Trigger warnings I guess could be: Torture, manipulation, gaslighting, love bombing, kidnapping, and a slight amount of gore. I'll update this as I add more chapters. #1 MaleReader 5/23/24 #1 Gaslighting 5/23/24 #1 Yanderegirl 5/23/24 #1 Hero 6/12/24

In the Wake of Heroes by MushroomFairy124

In a city where heroes are today's gods, Kiayah was born with nothing. No powers. No strength. No chance to stand among them. But when a battle between a hero and a villain shatters her world, leaving her parents dead, she is forced to confront a brutal truth-without power, she is nothing but a victim. The world pities her, labels her a tragic survivor, a helpless girl in a city of legends. But Kiayah refuses to be weak. Fueled by grief and an anger she can't control, she throws herself into relentless training, pushing her body past every limit. If she can't have powers, she'll make her own strength. She'll become something else. Because heroes aren't the only ones who can rise from the ashes. And Kiayah? She's just getting started. This book will be under work so it is not complete. The title and description will change as well. All suggestions are welcome as I'm learning my writing style! I'm learning and hoping this story takes off because me it's dear to my heart!
