Friendly Neighborhood by Distraktion

Summary
An AU collection of 7 chapters, sprinkled throughout Ward, where Kenzie ended up with a much nicer family after coming to Earth Gimel: The Parkers from Earth-3123! May Parker (once known as Spider-Ma'am), as well as her husband Ben and nephew Peter, adopted Kenzie about a year before our story starts. Each chapter is from a different POV, and it focuses primarily on Kenzie, the Parkers, and the changes that come from love, trust, and an old woman with spider-powers. The story is a bit silly at times, but I wrote it to focus more on dialogue, humor, and family/friendship than anything else.

Summary
Colin Wallis, Armsmaster, took on his role as the leader of the Brockton Bay Protectorate to save lives, fight crime, and clean up his town. Thanks to Deputy Director Renick, he is now also required to have regular interaction with the Wards. After ignoring the job in favor of more important work, he finds himself at a loss when a real problem comes along.
This is a pair of oneshots, one the original (first chapter) and the other the rewrite (second, much better chapter).

Summary
Greg Veder discovers that gaining parahuman powers doesn't magically fix his anxiety, family problems, or bad reputation. He tries to both understand his strange new abilities and grow as a person, with mixed results. Despite his many mistakes and worries, he refuses to give up on his dream of becoming someone worthy of being called a hero. With a power that depends on other capes, he knows that failure isn’t an option.
Despite having some cool powers and humor, this story focuses on conversations, self-improvement, character development, family, and teamwork, rather than fights and power-fantasy. Though written primarily from Greg's POV, it also includes frequent Interludes from a variety of non-Greg people. Geez Veder, you think the world revolves around you or something?
