Ignoble Heroes

If you look at your noble heroes closer, you notice that their actions are always motivated by personal gain. Whether it be more rights or more power, it's always there, yet we tell ourselves that it was for the greater good. That they saved the world. That seems to justify everything for us. But remember, your heroes are also a part of the world they saved.
It is in this light that I invite you to read this story of misunderstood heroes who, for seeing the world in this light are seen as the villains and the crooks. But sometimes, all it takes to be a hero is a bit of self-preservation.

I Will Be The Strongest!!
There are as many Good things in this world as there are Bad things. But throughout the course of history many times the same mistakes have been repeated by strong rulers. This made everyone assume that power corrupts, but I disagree with this statement. Power does not corrupt, it's the human being who is foolish enough to repeat the mistakes the same as their ancestors regardless of the consequences. In truth Power is pure and it will never betray you. It has been there, It is there, and will always be there no matter what.Complete

Sonder- Sequel To Ashes A Peter Parker Fanfiction
As terrible as my life seemed five years passed and I began to realize something. I could look at any random person and they had lost just as much if not more than I had. Not a single family came out of the decimation unscathed, and if by some miracle one did then they lost friends, and if they didn't lose friends they lost something else. However the difference between them and me is I had the resources, the name, and the people to help me make a difference because I was broken, but there was someone else barely holding on that needed help. There were people that were worse off than me, that carried lives that we're just as significant as mine and Peters that needed avenging.Complete
Resurgence
A conventional, mundane life is the norm that can drive anyone mad. A craving to be and do extraordinary things is what made Ava feel out of place in her uneventful world. She wished for anything to fulfill the odd void in her heart, yet she never expected to enter a world where heroes and villains would fight to gain her as an asset. The question was: Who was the hero and who was the villain? The adventure she was dreaming for awaits her as she starts a new life in a new world where nothing is impossible and nothing is what it seems. *Disclaimer: I do not own any Marvel characters (Avengers and others) This story is a fan fiction and other characters not owned by Marvel are of my own creation.

In one universe, six extraordinary people join forces to save the world. Battles are won, lives are saved, yet, in the end, the team falls apart and half the universe's population is wiped out of existence as a consequence. In another universe, seven extraordinary people join forces to save the world... and end up saving the entire universe instead. Alanna Becker is the catalyst in a war between good and evil - a war she doesn't realize she's fighting until she gets a call in the middle of the night that her uncle is missing... and so is the Tesseract. To get him back, she has to rejoin Shield and the Avengers - and face a past she thought she put behind her.

It is written purely for therapeutic and entertainment purposes. WARNING: This story is written for entertainment and therapeutic reasons. While there's a good deal of humor, family-oriented themes and faith, the darker parts include mentions/descriptions of blood, injuries, nightmares and characters experiencing anxiety, PTSD and depression.

That's the main reason why I write.
The Puppeteer
An artist of exceptionally poor health. His dream was large and misunderstood by the world, an ability to bring his creations to life with an ego of their own, created by none other than him. At times he may be mistaken for a god, but he sees himself as nothing but a pen or a chisel. His life goal is simply to fill the world with exceptional living pieces before the earth brings him back to dust. In a way, he believes his existence was never meant to come along, it's probably why the world has decided to make his health so poor and why at times he has a hard time remembering who those around him really are, it doesn't matter, all that matters is the art, and the form in his mind that refuses to take shape until the very end.

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