Summary
(In which the NSA forces Simon to marry Jack in order to keep an eye on him.)
After the supers ban was made official, the NSA had their work cut out for them, engineering new, normal lives for those once believed to be gods. Day after day, supers were reduced to a single file, liabilities to be “dealt with.”
The nightmare was almost over, with only one man left to deal with—Jackson Hart, better known as Gamma Jack.
No female supers fit the mold well enough to be assigned to play house with Jack, and even if they could withstand his toxic abilities (and personality), it would just be plain cruel to subject any woman to a life married to the guy.
Fortunately, there was one person who fit the profile the NSA was looking for: immune to the light spectrum, and by proxy, Jack. Strong enough to hold their own. The one person who wasn’t afraid of him. Unfortunately for Jack, that person happened to be a man.
Gazerbeam, AKA Simon Paladino

Summary
(Basically Makoto finds Kenji at a bar three years after disappearing, and Kenji's too drunk to care how insane of a coincidence it is that he's just met a guy with the same body, face and personality as his long-dead best friend/"unrequited" love.)
Three years after sacrificing himself for the world, Makoto is freed from the Great Seal. After being brought back to life, all he wants is to reunite with his best friend—and the person he loved most—Kenji Tomochika.
Unfortunately, to the rest of the world, Makoto Yuki died tragically at seventeen, and he's not coming back. When given a new identity—Minato Arisato—Makoto makes his way to the city to reunite with Kenji, even if their reunion is as strangers instead of best friends.

Summary
Inspired by @oopsyouthought's Superiority Complex, but is not related to the canon of that story. Made with their permission.
It’s a known scientific phenomenon that large outputs of radiation in short periods of time can create an aurora where one wouldn’t naturally occur. Often, after a warhead detonates, the sky is beautiful.
The night Jack died to the Omnidroid was no different.
(Alternatively: Mirage sees the most beautiful sky over Nomanisan after sending Jack to his death. She usually wouldn’t have cared—but this time she’s cursed with knowledge of Jack’s late husband, Simon, and teenage daughter, Novea.)

Summary
When Simon wakes up on the Hail Mary, he is immediately confused with everything. Especially Ryland Grace.
Grace is certainly not helping clear up any of that confusion.
. . .
Basically about if Simon and Grace both assumed the other would think the same thing about their situation and it lead to some *ahem* awkward situations.

And so she does not regret.
Or,
