    Summary

    "Be careful what you wish for."

    If only someone told Izuku this sooner. Maybe he could have been lucky enough to be born quirkless. Yet he knows, through each painful death, that things could have been worse.

    So much worse.

    Midoriya Izuku

    Quirk: Return by Death

    (AKA, my completely self-indulgent Re:Zero AU because I couldn't get it out of my head. Contains lots of pointless suffering and angst. You don't need to know anything about Re:Zero to read this.)

    Summary

    At a young age, Izuku Midoriya gave up his dream to become a hero. He didn't have a quirk. He was not special. He longed to be remembered. He wanted to be known. He wanted people to see him, and what he did, and smile.

    It was only at age 15 did he realize that seeing them suffer may be even more enjoyable, and that the quirk he had never known was a beautifully horrible one indeed. It was time to create art, and time to change the world forever.

    Summary

    “His quirk will get attention no matter where he goes. But if he ends up working with heroes then he’ll have their protection. That’s why I said most doctors and nurses have minor healing quirks- because people with powerful ones often catch the attention of heroes, who will in turn protect them from any villains who also have their eye on them.”

    “Oh! Okay. Okay… this… this is a lot…. Heh, and I was worried he’d breathe fire…”

    “Don’t ever forget- Izuku’s quirk is a good thing. He just needs to be a bit more careful than most children.” 
    _________

    Midoriya Izuku wants to become a hero. Midoriya Izuku is born with a healing quirk. He learns how to save people a different way.
