    Summary

    Reader's Summary:
    I read this work in my native Mid-Western USA dialect, with minimal character voicing, sound processing, and no music. Chapters will post no more than a week apart.

    Author's Summary:
    Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.

    Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.

    Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

    Summary

    Even if Sensei was the kid’s contact, not Tomura, Sensei wasn’t around anymore. So didn’t that mean their informant should answer to him now?
     

    The league is trying their hardest to make Aoyama Yuuga feel welcome; they just have very misguided ideas of how to do that.

     

    EDIT: Now with lovely fanart inside from justajokin on tumblr! ❤

    Summary

    And it is as he prays at his own altar, saying goodbye to the remains of Todoroki Touya for what is supposed to be the last time, that his sister walks in.

    She wasn't supposed to. No one was supposed to know. Touya was supposed to die unseen, leaving something else in his place.

    But she's here, and she's seen him, and Fuyumi has never been good at letting go of people, even when she maybe should.

    Or: Fuyumi finds Touya, and convinces him to take Shouto with him. And that changes things.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku is a university sophomore, a fanboy, quirkless. On the list of things he is not: a hero.

    That's why he's more surprised than anyone when he rescues Todoroki Shouto, his favorite pro hero, from a deadly villain attack. His actions fling him into the media spotlight, grabbing the attention of the entire country, including Todoroki himself. But Todoroki actually wants to get to know him past the headlines.

    Izuku finds himself living a story straight out of a fairy tale, one where the mysterious, handsome prince is played by the real-life superhero he has always admired. But Izuku is convinced he's the ugly duckling, not the swan; could he ever be remarkable enough to get his happily ever after?

    Summary

    When his father and Tomura start planning the USJ attack, Izuku makes a plan of his own. It’s simple, only four steps:

    1. Steal Eraserhead’s quirk
    2. Use it to kill All for One
    3. Give Erasure back, hopefully
    4. Go to jail, probably

    He’s prepared for the plan to fail at any time, but surprisingly, it’s not until step 4 that things fall through.

    Summary

    “Dabi. Untie him.”

    Katsuki’s heart leaps. Holy shit, can it be that easy…?

    “He’ll go wild, for sure,” says flame quirk - Dabi? - entirely unimpressed. Katsuki’s eye twitches.

    “It’s okay,” Shigaraki says, all smug-sounding again. “We gotta treat him as an equal. We’re scouting him, after all. And before he throws a tantrum, our little U.A. student should be smart enough to know he can’t win. Not alone.”

    The absolute asshole.

    “Yeah? Bring a few more guys and it might actually be a fair fucking fight.”

    Training Camp AU. When the League of Villains starts working on converting Bakugou the night he arrives rather than two days later, Dabi has a crisis of conscience. (An unexpected buddy fic between a reluctant vigilante!Dabi and a twice-kidnapped!Bakugou)

    Summary

    in his more selfish moments, sometimes aoyama dreams of a beautiful death.

    it’s never said outright in their classes, but it feels sometimes as though that’s what they’re meant to be aspiring to, anyway - aoyama sits in the front row, and listens, and takes better notes than his grades would give him credit for. to their teachers, of course, but to his classmates, as well. all might is the hero that defines their age, of course. but there are thousands more. how many of the ones who get remembered died a quiet death at home or aged out? no, for many, it’s a blaze of glory - putting their lives on the line until the very end. the profession of hero is not one undertaken by someone who is willing to die quietly, in most cases. there are very few old heroes.

    he could never, of course. his parents have very little to offer all for one. were he to die, they would simply be considered loose ends who knew more than they ought to.

    ( aoyama character study. )

    Summary

    Izuku groaned as he dragged his mangled, exhausted body across the battlefield, leaving a red trail along his path. Pain shot up from the stumps that used to be his arms as dirt disturbed the open wounds, so excruciating that it forced him to freeze in place and draw a shaky breath.

    “What are you trying to achieve, exactly?”

    Izuku didn’t know either at this point.

    Summary

    “Hmm,” Dabi says, finally, pulling back. His voice sounds like it’s being raked over coals. “It wasn’t supposed to be you.”

    He turns to the villain with the mask, the one who calls himself Compress. “This isn’t Bakugou Katsuki,” he drawls, more loudly.

    “Right in one—ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!” Compress announces, rolling one of his marbles across his knuckles with a flourish. “This is—”

    Dabi’s unimpressed. “I know who he is,” he says. “Your job was to capture Bakugou Katsuki.”

    Summary

    Hatsume desperately needs a specific part for her newest baby, but she can't seem to get it through normal channels. When she hears that Yaoyorozu might be willing to make things with her quirk for her friends, she gets the bright idea to become friends with her and eventually get the part she needs!

    ...Yaoyorozu does not interpret Hatsume's behavior as platonic.

     

    “I-” Yaoyorozu coughed, face getting redder, “I’ve never received such a- a bold confession before.”

    Summary

    Two bound, wild things kneel before the king, and Shouto wonders how long it will take them to realize that it’s always all about power, with his father.

    They are both beaten, injured, probably starving. Even on their knees, the blond one is listing to one side, putting weight on his companion to keep himself upright. The second, whose hair is darker, has blood dripping into his left eye and dirt matted into his curls. He braces himself ramrod straight to keep the blond one from falling over.

    They are bent, but not broken. Shouto suspects that will change. 

    King Todoroki Enji captures the two successors of his greatest rival.

    Make no mistake: this is a story about gentleness.

    Summary

    “Are you Shouta?” the shadow-man asks, and his tone is polite but there’s something verging on almost desperate behind it.

    Shouta considers. He’s unarmed, facing an unknown person who knows his home address and his first name, he hasn’t slept in thirty-six hours, and he’s wearing kitten-patterned pajama pants. Despite all of that, he’s still confident in his ability to handle himself in a fight, but nothing about this situation is making sense, and it’s sending him slightly off-kilter.

    Starting with how the shadow man knows his name.

    “Maybe,” he says, after his silence has dragged on a beat too long. “Who’s asking.”

     

    (Aizawa Shouta is two years out of UA, and three years grieving the death of one of his best friends, when a stranger knocks on his door in the middle of the night.)

    Summary

    Young Izuku nods. He’s still pale, with a careful blankness to his face, and his shoulders tremble slightly when he moves. In a small, sure voice, he says, “I’ve thought about what you told me, and what I’ve seen. And there’s only one explanation: I’m dead.”

    “Ah,” says Mirio.

    Izuku rubs his forehead with the heel of his hand. “We should probably just call Mr. Aizawa.”

    Summary

    Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”

    The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.

    or,

    Izuku tries to pretend eveything is okay even though his homelife is crumbling around him, there's an insanely powerful Quirk that's not entirely his coursing through his veins, he suddenly knows his childhood hero, All Might, and to top it all off, he seems to have befriend a pastel blue-haired ghost that has way too much insider knowledge on Izuku's new homeroom teacher, and English teacher. He's really just trying to survive Yuuei...

    Summary

    It’s the night after Kamino, and the dream’s returned. By now, Yagi knows it from its scent alone: the soft breath of fresh rainfall is masked with the heavy rot of damp garbage, back alley dumpster festering in his periphery. And yet he isn’t lucid enough to escape, he never is, not even as those all-too-familiar hands slam into his back full force, sending his skull smashing against the sharp edge of the dumpster. Blood gushes over Yagi’s brow as he’s whirled around. A frightened cry stops short as those deadly hands find his throat.

    “Beautiful,” All For One sneers, that piercing grin the only white in an alley swimming with dark. Yagi snatches at the man’s strangling grip, but the fingers only curl tighter into his skin. “Look at you now, All Might. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

    (The attack on the young hero is brutal. Living with it is even worse.)

    Summary

    “It was a kid,” Yagi gasped out. He had his hand balled up into a fist and the fist pressed to his lips, as if to remind himself that he could not start screaming. “Or. Young person, maybe 20. Homeless, I think. Activated their Quirk on reflex and then ran. The kids—” Here, he pressed his fist harder to his mouth, sucked in a wheezing breath, as if the air itself was pushing down something with physical weight. “The kids—”

    “Scattered immediately,” Aizawa finished for him, and Yagi managed a nod.

    Yagi’s eyes were so dilated that the blue was almost invisible. He shook violently. He looked like a scarecrow in a windstorm.

    Someone activated a Fear-Inducer Quirk so powerful that it reduced All Might to this— of course Aizawa’s class had bolted.
