    Summary

    Izuku's only truly used his quirk once. He was four years old.
    He took thirty-two lives that day.
    Now, he's sworn never to let that power possess him again. Hiding the true nature of his quirk from everyone, he hides behind the thin facade of a useless, showy quirk, refusing any and all connection to the mysterious creature recognized in a few sparse news reports as the Leviathan.
    Lies don't last forever, however, and one day or another, his world will have to come crashing down.

    Summary

    Izuku wanted a lot of things.

    To not be quirkless, to save lives, for Kacchan to act like his friend again.

    But as the years went by, none of these things happened, until he started running into the now-graduated class of 1-A.

    Or,

    Izuku listens to Kacchan's bullying and doesn't apply to U.A. He still wants to save lives.

    So instead of becoming a pro-hero, he becomes a paramedic.

    Summary

    There is a knock at the door. With a heavy sigh, Klaus untangles himself from the mess of Dave's limbs with a mutter of 'I've got it'. They rarely get visitors out here, their closest neighbour being about three miles away, and Klaus didn't even hear a car or see any headlights outside.

    He opens his door, expecting to see old Mrs Richards asking for one of the dog treats they always keep for the occasions her dog runs off. He does not, however, expect to see his siblings - all of them, standing outside his door. Well, Five is being held up by Diego, and Vanya is being carried by Luther, but they are all there, on his doorstep, on this evening in 1970.

    Or, Dave doesn't die, but he and Klaus get injured and discharged. They move to a little cottage in the countryside and live together, perfectly content, until they get a group of surprise visitors. Five tries to send them all into the past to avoid the end of the world, and is drawn right to Klaus.

    Summary

    Jake Denver knew, the moment Crazy Klaus had opened his mouth, between Vietnamese trees and chewing on the butt of a cigarette, that his name would be well earned.

    Later on -- after death, and decades -- he isn't quite as sure.
