The Anthem Force Chronicles by hollyorange

Being a teenager is hard enough. Try balancing friends, school, and crushes all while saving the world on the side. Dante Caslon is just your average, teenage... superhero? She has the mask, she has the codename, and she has the team. There's just one problem: she's missing the powers. In a world where people can lift cars over their heads and shoot laser beams from their eyes Dante is out to prove that being a superhero is less about the super and more about the hero. Join her as she handles crazed villains, exploding bridges, citywide threats, superpowered ex's, evil nemesis, rooftop chases, epic tournaments, secret identities and throughout it all prove that she really is "Super" after all.

A Bird's Eye View: The Villain and the Hero's Love Affair by imnotcomfortablehere

You're just a little birdie, minding your own business-flying around, dodging falling leaves, trying not to get too involved in the messes of the city below. But, oh, the drama! The masked hero and the brooding villain you've been watching for months-yeah, those two? They have a lot of secrets. The hero's perfect, obviously, saving the world and all that. But the villain? Oh, dear. By day, they wear a mask of evil and power, but you've seen what happens when the cape comes off. There's some serious darkness lurking in their private life-self-loathing, quiet pain, and way too many late-night mood swings. But don't worry, the villain's got it under control... or so they think. You thought their love story was one of those sweet "enemies-to-lovers" kind of deals, until you saw the truth from way up here. It's a mess. Betrayal. Anger. Love. Secret identities. A fight that's way more personal than you ever imagined. But hey, that's not your problem, right? You're just a bird. Except, well... Maybe you care. Maybe you're the one who's been flying around, wondering if their messy, secret love story will ever have a happy ending-or if one of them will end up on the wrong side of the city's skyscraper (literally). From your vantage point, it's a little too close for comfort, but hey-no one ever said love was easy, even for villains and heroes. Just try not to get caught in the crossfire, okay?

Mayne by GypsyCe

Mayne, sat in her bedroom studying and daydreaming. The party was starting soon, and she was expected to make an appearance. Since she is the bright daughter of two very valuable people to the Elite community much has been expected of her, including proper behavior toward bullies and hosting the bullies' party. Mayne looked down at her desk at all the study material she had access to and wondered why her whole life was already planned out ahead of her. The visions warned her last night of the party, she had repaired the shield that had been sabotaged but she wasn't certain it would hold, the damage was severe, and nobody would listen to her because of the aforementioned bully. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath hoping that the death and destruction she saw wasn't coming... but it was. This is a feel-good story about the importance of mental and emotional health...

The Undoing of Sidekicks | ✓ by earlyatdusk

Sidekicks. The sad, ever-suffering excuses of heroes - a title you tack onto someone who's trying, just not hard enough. Few can shed this sad label and pave their own path. I intend to be one of them. The heroes are crowding enough of the spotlight, in my opinion. It's time for me to step up. I just know I can do it - I'll be the undoing of sidekicks. ≈ standalone extension to the undoing of heroes' universe. ✎ completed cover: @narwhelly

Facing exposure, Amethyst reluctantly accepts help from her grandmother, leading her to a mysterious old friend.

Lightning and Starlight by florencehmorwen

After a careless scientific accident with new elements, people with supernatural abilities began to surface. Society adjusted, and social norms changed. Heroes and villians surfaced, making the world more complicated. Fast-forward one hundred years. Neera Sanchez fights for her survival as a supervillain. She does what she can to survive, inadvertently making her a target for the heroes. Behind her mask, she struggles in personal battles, alone. When her abusive boyfriend and her own fight against depression overtake her, she's introduced to the world of superheroes. Vincent Ciobanu is a new hero at a local base. He introduces himself to the ex-villain and takes Neera's focus away from the pain and suffering she had been used. Neera grows as she gets used to her new life. Times change and things shift for the worse as Neera's ex, Koen James, comes back into her life stronger as a supervillain, threatening the peace of the world and the freedom Neera discovered. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Neera's eyes closed and her chest rose as she breathed deeply, trying her hardest to focus her power on the heroes nearing her. She opened her eyes, watching intently as the heroes slowly crowded on the rooftop around her. The moon illuminated their serious masked faces and flashy suits, giving Neera the opportunity to figure out what powers they might possess. She kept her eyes halfway closed and studied them. Most of the suits were at least 75% black. One hero stuck out in her blue suit. It had no black on it. Neera was wary of the color of her suit. /How did I end up here?/ One of the heroes had surprised her with a lucky hit almost a minute ago. She had felt the impact and acted on it, diving to the ground. She had a better fighting chance against the six when they were caught off guard. And if one of them had the ability to purify water, it would all go down hill. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Romance; mental-health awareness; superheroes; abuse

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

Rewriters [Completed] by AureliusLily

At the lowest points of their lives, the chance encounter of two supers led them to an unlikely collaboration in writing the story of their lives... only that there is one small problem. Their past lives as the most wanted supervillain and the discredited superhero are catching up to them sooner than they think, and their only hope is to rewrite the bleak future ahead of them. Or at least attempt to.
