Summary
Gen Asagiri is a gentle soul, but everyone has their breaking point. When Senku is shot, something freezes and shatters within him. He will not be kind. He will do everything he can, the very best he can manage, to ensure not one more person he cares about is hurt.
Gen's POV in the beginning, swaps to Xeno's POV for the final battle and aftermath.
There was a book quote, Gen wasn't sure where he'd first heard it. There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man. Well, the Kingdom of Science had no shortage of gentle men. Beneath his masks, deep down where his true self hid beneath the layers of acting required to be so deep undercover, Gen Asagiri was also very, very angry.

In All His Overwhelming Tenacity by repugnantecreaturaputrida

Summary
The vivid clarity of the world around himself, draped in a dark cloak of night that his enhanced eyes saw through as if it were but a thin sheet; the crisp autumn air tickling the inside of his nostrils with such saturation that it almost felt like he could taste the coming winter on the tip of his tongue. The breeze that came from this altitude tickled his bare skin, and despite its ineffectual chill against his strengthened flesh, goosebumps climbed up his neck from the tactile sensitivity he bore against its breath.
Everything felt so real, realer and fresher than it'd ever been. If that made sense, which it probably didn’t.
His senses then were just so alive that he didn’t think he could recall a time he’d ever been so… aware, of everything.
Toji fucking Fushiguro. Who would've guessed. In the middle of Shibuya too, like, really?

Summary
Peter Parker ended up in Gotham with the cliché "Everyone Forgets You" trope, then found his way to the Metropolis and become a Daily Planet intern, and somehow still find his way to Gotham and photographs the vigilantes around to post it online.
No one told Peter that the fucking Bats are camera shy.

Summary
Steve Harrington was predictable. He was popular, rich, and people liked him, but that made him boring. He knew, just like everyone else knew, exactly what the rest of his life would look like. He’d graduate, go to some business school, get a job at his Dad’s company (where he would some day take over), settle down with a nice girl, get married, have two and a half kids and a dog, and he’d never amount to anything. This is a tale that has been told over and over again. This is a very old tale.
This is not the correct tale.
Upside Down Detected, Game Mode Unlocked!
Steve's life has suddenly become an RPG. Oh, joy.
