If he's going to be a hooker anyway, he may as well find himself a sugar daddy.
This...does not go as he planned, but at least he got adopted?

Matt Murdock vs. the Media by JeannetteRankin

Summary
For this genius prompt: Matt, as Matt, saves the Avengers in a profoundly simple way when their tech and sight (via removal of light sources) is compromised. It's not complicated and absurdly simple yet everyone acts like he saved the world. The newspapers won't shut up about it but by at least they have more clientele.
a.k.a. Matt and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news cycle.

Summary
The Jedi are telepaths. It's normal for them to make long-lasting mental bonds with friends and family, but Obi-Wan has always been extra sensitive. During their fight on Mustafar, when Anakin rips out their bond, thick as an artery and a decade strong- it's too much. That, on top of the deaths of all the Jedi on the heels of Order 66, causes Obi-Wan to begin to lose his memories, and, eventually, his life.
After delivering Luke to Owen and Beru, Obi-Wan is ready to see his family again. He doesn't mind dying, and has made his peace with it. But Beru offers him a place to stay, until the end comes- in her words, no one should die alone.
This was written as a precursor to a time-travel fic, so he doesn't actually die. But it's essentially a death fic. Proceed with caution.

Summary
One For All was a peculiar quirk, one that passed itself along from host to host seemingly at random. Which is how All Might woke up one morning to find that his quirk had left him, settling in another bright eyed quirkless boy across town. While Toshinori scoured the country for the new holder of One For All, Izuku was very excited about his brand new bone-breaking quirk.
The Yuuei Entrance Exam was only a week away and they needed to make that time count.

The Jaster Mereel School Of Cover IDs by BoliTheSenate

Summary
"Oh no," thinks Feemor, "a fellow Jedi in distress!"
"Ouch," thinks Mand'alor Jaster Mereel.
In which Nerd Jaster's love for larping brings on a case of serious mistaken identity and he gets spirited away to the Jedi Temple.
Not that he is complaining, he's getting free access to the Archives (score!), copious amounts of ade (double score!!) and highly engaging discourse with fellow history-enthusiasts (triple score!!!)

Summary
Frostbite was an old ghost. Not as old as some — he was no Master of a domain or one-eyed Observant — but he was one of the eldest of his people, and he was old enough to remember Pariah Dark's reign with clarity, and with terror.
