The fic is currently finished, though there are more fics in the series.
The fic follows Wilbur Minecraft, a Rescue Hero named Magpie who is overlooked and underappreciated for his efforts. That is, until a villain named Ace decides to claim him as his nemesis. With an ulterior motive of trying to seduce Wilbur away from being a hero…
!! You Were Never Meant To Be A Hero contains examples of:
* AbductionIsLove: Ace occasionally does with Wilbur, though usually Wilbur doesn’t seem to mind.
* AdaptationalBadass: While not completely useless in a fight, Wilbur and Quackity were characters more well known for using their charisma and wit to get them out of situations. Here, Ace and Magpie are more than happy to kick ass.
* AffectionateNickname: Ace/Quackity likes to call Wilbur songbird. Wilbur claims to hate it at first.
* AnimalMotifs: A lot of bird motifs. Wilbur with magpies, Quackity with shrikes, Tommy with ravens and Phil with crows.

* BigBrotherInstinct: If Wilbur is around any child or teenager, he’ll probably start acting like this instantly. Especially around Tommy [[spoiler:and Miriam.]]
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Turns out, the Minecraft family has a lot of problems.
* BreakTheCutie: Ace had already clocked onto Wilbur breaking down at the beginning of the fic, but oh does it get much worse for him. [[spoiler:Especially when Ace kidnaps him and a bunch of hostages to get Techno to choose between the two. When Techno chooses to save the hostages with no hesitation, even Ace is stunned. It only gets worse when Wilbur is told he’s going to be removed from Ace’s case. It’s even worse in an alternate timeline – Wilbur gets betrayed by everyone in his family, has his wings clipped and then is locked in a room with nothing but indoctrination material.]]
* CallingTheOldManOut: Wilbur [[spoiler:and Tommy]] do this to Phil at various points in the fic.
* ChekhovsSkill: Wilbur’s singing tends to have a calming effect. [[spoiler:Turns out, he wasn’t as powerless as he thought.]]

* CompellingVoice: [[spoiler:Wilbur discovers that he’s had this ability his entire life and never knew it.]]

* EasilyForgiven: Wilbur forgives Quackity of doing a lot of things, from murder, to kidnapping him. This is mostly because Quackity is also one of the kindest people Wilbur’s knows, and the only one that actually respects him.
* FirstNameBasis: Most people only call Wilbur by his hero name, Magpie. Ace uses Wilbur’s name to try and appeal himself to Wilbur more.

* TheGadfly: A lot of Ace/Quackity’s flirting can come across as this.

* KnightTemplarParent: [[spoiler:After Wilbur disowns Phil, he becomes this to Tommy. It doesn’t work out.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Ace/Quackity has this in spades. He mostly uses this against Wilbur, but pretty commonly uses this against others, such as heroes.
* NoodleIncident: One time Wilbur was really hungry and forgot to eat something, and apparently an innocent squirrel suffered for it. He refuses to talk about it.
* ParentalAbandonment: Wilbur’s mother Kristin was sent away on a mission to another country, and Phil has been nothing but a neglectful parent in her absence.
* ParentalFavoritism: Due to Phil’s over-protectiveness, Wilbur felt like Techno was his father’s favorite child.
* ShipperOnDeck: Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo all tease and encourage Wilbur and Quackity at various points during the fic. [[spoiler:Techno also has one moment of support for his brother’s relationship.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: If Ace/Quackity has the chance to, he’ll rip into the heroes. Except for Wilbur.

* ComfortingComforter: Ace/Quackity does this {{spoiler:when Wilbur has his breakdown.]]
