recthethingA Fire Within by Kiraly
This was written for 2022's round of Jukebox Exchange, where the idea is to write a story inspired by a song. This one was inspired by "Now Hiring" by Dr. Awkward ft. Schaffer the Darklord; familiarity with the source isn't required in order to enjoy the story.
Fic details: M/M, rated Teen, length 19k. Features superheroes, enemies (sort of) to lovers, crack treated seriously, and a bit of fake/pretend relationship.
Author's summary:
I found it a light and fun read; builds up the characters and worldbuilding enough to sink some teeth into it, but without exceeding its welcome. Also, it's very funny at times - the banter and flirting is silly and delightful, and the author pulled off the inherently cracky aspect of the premise pretty well!

A superhero who can't keep a nemesis decides to put out a personal ad. A villain with a troubled past decides to start over in a new town. What could possibly go wrong?
