Watch Your Heroes Fall by b00mgh

Summary
News anchors are stationed nearby, blue fire rages over buildings, but the only ash in the air is from the thousands of flyers that drift from city rooftops to the ground.
On top of a bus stands Midoriya Izuku. His unremarkable green hair seems wild in the harsh light of Dabi’s flames. He’s flanked on either side by Shinsou Hitoshi and Yaoyorozu Momo, and in formation around them is the League of Villains.
People run screaming from the display, and news anchors know better than to get too close to the action when the League of Villains is involved– they’ve been known to injure and even kill bystanders on a whim.
The linchpin of the new group seems to be Midoriya Izuku, and as he laughs in an unhinged way and raves about the injustice of hero society, nobody is interested in what he’s saying so much as the fact that he is saying it. He’s gone off the deep end.
The pamphlets that litter the ground and begin to circulate online (even as the hero commission tries to censor them) read with just one line of text in red writing against a black background:
"Watch Your Heroes Fall"Izuku always wanted to be a hero, until he saw what being a hero meant. So he found a better way to help others.

Summary
After a very bad day at school, Izuku makes a split-second decision to take matters into his own hands while waiting for his train. He feels like he's stuck in a tunnel of intrusive thoughts where there seems to be no light at the end—
That is until he meets a strange man by the name of Aizawa Shota; a teacher who's like no other Izuku has ever met before. Caring and kind, someone who actually listens. Perhaps there is a light at the end of the tunnel after all?
Maybe not all Heroes need a license to be a Hero.

Summary
Datastream is known by most of the Underground Heroes and many of the better Spotlight Heroes as a master of surveillance, able to supply information, co-ordinate back up when overwhelmed, they call on medical support when there are injuries, even call in a hero's takedown on occasion.
To one Underground Hero, though, Datastream is better known as Midoriya Izuku, Aizawa Shouta's nephew.

Loved this! LOVED. Was it the most well written thing ever? Absolutely not. Did I care? Absolutely not! It was so fast and fun and Izuku who was not a fighter was such a delight. The banter was quippy and the characters just did whatever I wanted them to, and I felt such a connection with the author. There was so much pettiness and Endeavor and All Might got what they deserved. This author is a joy to read!! -

Summary
It's decided then, says First. I'm transferring the quirk.
For the record, this is a terrible idea. Third slumps back in his seat.
There's an abrupt shift in perspective, and now they're back on the rooftop with the kid.
I hate democracy. This from Eigth's shadow.
Or.
The vestiges democratically elect the next One for All user. They do not inform All Might of their decision.

I thought this was just a wonderful treat! What a fun read! The fic zagged so hard sometimes that I couldn't help but chuckle and I have to give huge props to the author for throwing so many great curve balls into the story. I couldn't see so many of them and that made each and every one a delightful treasure. The author was just friggin clever, that's all I have to say. -

Summary
Every supervillain has a nemesis. All for One’s nemesis is a boy who, although he has all the skills required for world domination, continues to use them to be a thorn in All for One’s side.
Solution? Adopt.
It does not go as planned. Now he has a fake nephew who is still determined to take him down (outside of the house, anyway—they somehow manage to be a fully functional family when All for One isn’t doing crime). He’s read plenty of parenting books and none of them explain how to stop your kid from destroying your criminal empire.
OR: Izuku overthinks everything and intentionally gets himself kidnapped by All for One. Chaos ensues.

I am enamored with this author. They are so fucking talented! I couldn't stop reading this fic and I'm so impressed with the author's ability to create a story that comes across as a crack fic but still has so much fucking heart and plot that it never quite goes over the line of "too much". The best thing about this is how amazing the author is at writing Izuku's internal narrative. it's perfection and I laughed so many times reading it. But even the other characters are just so "them" that it's hard to explain, AFO and Aizawa and Hitoshi all just so clearly have their own sense of self, their own voice, in this fic and it shines because of it. I love Izuku's chaotic nature in this and that as an 8-year-old decides you know what a hero would do, allow himself to be kidnapped by a supervillain to gather information. I love seeing the progression of AFO learning to love his fake-nephew. This fic just made me so happy. I'm so grateful it exists.
