Copy-paste Good Luck Soldier rave bookmark and put it here. Actually, copy paste everything amazing about Good Luck Soldier, put it here, and somehow enhance it, because this is spectacular.
I was planning to bookmark it when it finished, but Chapter 8 tipped me over the edge. So good.

How does one grieve, when they're incapable of feeling emotions in such a way? Do psychopaths even grieve?

The five stages of grief: disappointment, irritation, frustration, dissatisfaction, emptinessBookmarked by Helenova

Crying and sobbing and-
The ending is dissatisfying. Batman was never meant to go out like this. His light was supposed to burn until he burnt himself out. He was supposed to die saving the world, sacrificing himself to save countless others. He was supposed to have a proper hero's death.
Instead, he died quietly, alone, with nothing but a single witness. He died quickly, without a proper goodbye, saving no one in the process.
He died for nothing.
Everything about this hurts and none of it is pretty (except the prose) but still-
Bruce the hopeless idealist has always been my go-to characterization of him. He has no way to get a normal life, due to factors both in and out of his control, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a good one, even if by normal standards it’s not. And in a way, he did get his dream life.
There are so many more emotions than I can verbalize in this, and it’s 11:06 PM, but just know, dear great author, *checks name* DelightToWrite, that this fic deserves to get millions of bookmarks, and I’m proud to be the first.

Summary
Martha Wayne died with Bruce’s hand in hers, and Joe Chill’s fingers between her teeth, and she made Gotham bleed for it.
“They fought,” Bruce whispered, voice breaking right in the middle. A broken instrument that’ll never work again.
Not the same.
“They were brave. They were nice. They loved me. And it didn’t matter.”
When he was 8, Gotham, haunted, filthy, tired of trying, decided what it was.
And Bruce decided, too.
No one is happy about it.

Summary
When All Might was offered a position as a teacher at his alma mater, he would be lying if he said he wasn’t a bit nervous. Due to his notoriety, he would no doubt be well-received by the oncoming generation of new heroes, but he also knew that it would extend the target on his back to the very people he would be mentoring and trying to protect. It also didn’t help that by just maintaining his appearance as the Number One Hero, he would be using up precious time that could be used for hero work. It just didn’t make sense for All Might to become a teacher at U.A.
But perhaps it would work alright for Toshinori Yagi, a secretary-manager with years worth of experience of working at a hero agency who can teach the kids how to navigate working at an agency as a Pro. Now, Toshinori must juggle his duties as the Number One Hero and a faculty member at U.A. while he mentors young Midoriya, all without anyone knowing that he and All Might are one in the same.
Easier said than done.

Oh my God.
All Might is my favorite MHA character, but he gets so much hate on a regular basis it’s kind of disheartening. Seeing him do what he does best, i.e. inspiring others. I also love the fleshing out of background characters like Hagakure. Plus, any fic that can get me to understand Bakugo’s line of thinking is a masterpiece.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya had a sizeable following online. Not as a hero, but as a conspiracy debunker. He built his following using facts and his obscene amount of free time as a kid without friends.
Shouto Todoroki wondered if this is what it felt like to have a mortal enemy. He wanted to prove the mysterious debunker wrong. He wanted a conspiracy to be right and his rival to swallow his words.

Look, I know the fanon characterization of Shoto as a wacky conspiracy theorist is not at all like his canon one, but in a world full of emo anime boys, grant me this indulgence.
Also love fics that don’t portray Enji as an irredeemable monster, even if it’s just in the background here.
