    Summary

    Hero means different things to different people. Through trials, tribulations, and shenanigans, the members of Class 1-A and their gruff softy of a teacher are learning just what that word means to each one of them as they build a little found family that in many cases is stronger than any actual family.

    The "Here We Stand" stories are the main focus containing the heaviest hitting pieces of the plot. While we will do our best to recap, these stories will make the most sense when read in context of each other.

    This series will also contain three sub-series:
    (Unless specifically mentioned stories in these sub-series can be read independently though they might reference events in the main plot stories. We'll do our best to clarify when that happens.)

    "Finding Solid Ground" - Character and relationship building stories with everything from fluff to angst

    "Walk a Mile" - Fluff. Pure, tooth-rotting fluff.

    "The Misadventures of Detective Foster Dad" - Stories focused around Miyake Ohta, our OC introduced in chapter 12 of "Here We Stand...As the Beasts Close In"

    (Series renamed from "What They Stand For" in our continuing efforts to encapsulate exactly what we're trying to build.)

    Summary

    "He's coming with me, Dracule."
    Little hands dug into the leg of Mihawk's pants. Behind him, Shanks's aura grew angrily. The bastard was annoying, but even Mihawk had to admit that there was no one he'd rather have at his back. Especially when there was an angry Vice Admiral determined to take away his son.
    "Let us pass, Garp," Mihawk told him evenly. "I don't want to kill you in front of your grandson."

     

    [or; The World Government has always had its dirty little secrets; Mihawk knows that and he does his best to keep himself out of it. Until he gets attached to one of those secrets. ]
    (Or, or, an AU in which Mihawk adopts a feral child, only to discover that he's accidently adopted an Ancient Weapon in human form. And if Shanks doesn't stop laughing about it, Mihawk's going to cut off his other arm.)

    Summary

    During a routine raid the heroes have a much harder time than expected while fighting what was supposed to be a rookie yakuza group. Many heroes are seriously injured, including a very grumpy underground hero, and two are out of commission.

    After the raid, they find a notebook filled to the brim with extremely detailed information in pro- and underground heroes alike. To their surprise the villain who acquired the information on the heroes had left a note for them that makes their job of bringing them to justice much easier. On the second page of the book it reads: ‘If found, please return to Midoriya Izuku’.

    Or

    Villains got a hold of Middle school Izuku’s hero notebook and used it to get an advantage over the heroes. When the notebook is found after the raid the heroes think that Midoriya had sold the information to the group and is brought in under the assumption that he is working with the yakuza.

    Cue a very scared and confused Izuku, a very parental Aizawa, a very concerned Tsukauchi, and a very pissed Sir Night eye.
