    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!)

    This is, legitimately, the best fic I’ve ever read (and I’ve read it a bajillion times since I first read it in 2020. Between the Ace rep (which taught me about qps!), the sheer technical competency Pit has over sentence structure/flow, and how wonderfully descriptive it can be in the right emotional moments without getting bogged down in it, I absolutely aspire to write like this. The intensity of the emotions and the clarity of each character POV, the way emotional recovery/downtime is handled, and the absolute natural progression of both worldbuilding and the onscreen relationships is absolutely incredible. Nothing I can really say will do this fic justice, but just know that there is a REASON I literally jumped and started ranting about how excited I was when I heard news of a sequel!! Also, GeminiWishes’ podfic of this has been like reading the story for the first time all over again, and it is /incredible/. Anyway, holy frick, it’s YUTS, I really can’t say much more than that. Izuku Midoriya can see ghosts, and that actually heavily impacts the plot and his relationships with everyone rather than being a fun fact in a canon play-by-play because Pit is an amazing writer. Enjoy

    Summary

    All for One is a villain of unmatched power and malice, who will stop at nothing to bring Japan to its knees, and rule over everything with an iron fist.

    …or at least, that’s what the Third user of One for All will tell his successor, mere hours before getting himself killed.

    In reality, Enzai Shigaraki is, quite frankly, just some guy who got lucky with his meta ability.
    Consequently, he has to deal with the fallout of other people’s lies and miscommunication.

    Sucks to be him.

    Funniest goddamn writing style I’ve read in ages— right up the alley of the stuff I like to write, plus some surprisingly interesting characterizations and worldbuilding amidst the fun. Haven’t laughed this much reading a story in a long time

    Summary

    There’s no quirk factor in his blood. He has the extra toe joint. He’s as quirkless as they come. But nobody, nobody, nobody outside select governing bodies, upper echelons of the police, and heroes engaged in covert ops is to know about this.

    According to every paper trail to kingdom come, Midoriya Izuku has a Quirk.

    Because the alternative—that he's actually a deity—is simply unacceptable.

    this guy called the DOD to ask about disaster response and then MADE TRANSIT AND ROADMAPS /IN FUCKING GIMP/. Anyway if you like hard worldbuilding, go for this. msybe 30% of it is “izuku is literal god” and the rest is “disaster response” and I’m SO here for it

    The prose in this is just. Gorgeously written. I don’t have words, but this read like telling someone your most terrifying secrets and both of you accepting the other and building back anyway. The author really captures both the mindset that Gordon had to have when popping back into the world after Half Life One and the feeling of recovering from it all, and hops heads in a narratively satisfying way to tell the story. Just beautiful

    I want this. It’s so beautifully written, and if I had more words right now, I’d give them. This is just so warmly written that the final chapter (as of now) hurts so much , and I just. I love how this concept is explored, and now this relationship is written. gotta leave a comment on it someday soon

    That scene (might retire this to ensure I stop spoiling it): cuddling with a bajillion bodies
