    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya used to want to be a hero. It seems a distant dream, now, after everything that he's done—after everything that he's been made to do. But it's still there. It's a dim, flickering flame, burning lower by the day.

    He doesn't have time to concern himself with that though, these days he's too focused on staying alive to think too much about what he can never have.

    Then All Might takes a job teaching at UA, and the universe says hey you know what would be fun? What if we fucked Izuku over even more than we already have? and thus, Izuku ends up in the General Education class of UA with strict instructions to report everything he can, because, thank fucking no one, he just can't catch a goddamn break.

    AKA Hisashi Midoriya is a member of one of the most notorious underground supervillain organizations, and Izuku is being forced to help them (even though, trust him, he'd really rather not). Too bad that they don't predict that Izuku's going to get adopted by half the faculty when they send him to spy on the prestigious hero academy.

    Summary

    "The first time Captain Levi tells Deku that his cleaning’s 'not horrible' Deku cries, because this is the highest praise any soldier can ever be given in the Survey Corps. The others clap enthusiastically as he sobs into Petra’s shoulder."

    At USJ, Midoriya Izuku, instead of landing in the Flood Zone, is dropped into the world of Attack on Titan, promptly smashing his head on a rock and losing all his memories. Shiganshina has just fallen, and he wakes up on a refugee boat heading to Trost with no idea who he is or how he got there.

    Deku No-Surname is a former member of the Trostian Mafia, a street rat, and a valued member of Special Operations Squad Levi. His plans for the future haven't really surpassed "try not to die" until he finds himself being dragged into keeping Eren Jaeger, his fellow (quirked?) buddy from being executed by their totalitarian government.

    And then they're at war.

    He didn't really sign up for this.

    When he returns to his homeworld, he's... different. Sharper. Not the sniveling little kid 1-A remembers him as. No one knows where he's been, or where he got his scars, and he's not telling.

    All he knows is that if he's going down, he's dragging the League with him.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku goes missing as a child. No villain is ever held accountable, no one ever brings his mother any answers. For ten years, the only people who remember the quiet, Quirkless boy are Inko and Bakugo Katsuki. They both feel his loss in different, inexplicable ways.

    Eraserhead's been on the hunt for an elusive villain only known by the press as 'Ghost'. No fingerprints, blood, or evidence of any kind can ever be found at the scene of the crimes. All of the villain's cases inevitably run cold.

    Izuku wishes he'd been born Quirkless after all. Maybe then, he could've believed in heroes. Maybe then, he could've turned into someone good.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

    But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

    Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

    (This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

      Started a little slow - plot had few variations from canon. Really ramped up though, especially after Kamino arc. 9/10

    Summary

    Izuku has plans for everything.

    He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

    For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

    Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

    (Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

    Kacchan was right. He found his Quirk, after all.
