But an unproven twenty-four year old rookie is a risk only Royal Style, an ex-powerhouse team watching themselves slip into obscurity, is desperate enough to take.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku always wanted to be just like All Might. That is, until he watched the aftermath caused by All Might's forced retirement at Kamino Ward. Now he finds himself wondering if the Symbol of Peace is actually good for society. Why put so much pressure on the one person at the top that could fall at any time?
Todoroki Shouto was explosively reminded that he wanted to be a hero for himself and not to spite his father. Now he just isn’t sure what type of hero he wants to be. He definitely doesn’t want to be a hero like his father but trying to be like All Might doesn’t seem right either.
-Or-
The fic where Izuku and Shouto separately decide to go into underground heroics. Hitoshi isn't sure what to think about the two with perfect limelight quirks going underground. Aizawa learns there might be a lot more to his students than he expected but is determined to make proper heroes out of them.

Summary
Yuuji circles back to the corpse, nudging it with his toe to make sure it’s really dead, despite Sukuna already doing that earlier. Gross. It smells like barbecue but with a hint of sewer water, something he decides is definitely not a pleasant scent.
Maybe he should take a picture, to commemorate the moment.
He takes out his phone, miraculously not burnt or broken or even cracked, and snaps a quick picture of the steaming corpse. When he opens the app, the thing is still there, shot in surprisingly high quality for his fairly used phone. Why did he think it wouldn’t show up on camera?
“Whatever,” he mutters under his breath, stuffing his phone back in his pocket and making his way back to his duffel bag. At least he’s not more tired than normal.
(later, he thinks about posting the picture online, just to see if other people really can’t see curses. his old twitter account is long gone, but there’s no harm in making another one, right? no way to prove that it’s really him. might as well compile all his near death experiences here.)or: yuuji is never caught by sorcerers, makes a twitter account, and accidentally meets megumi through it.

Summary
After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn’t quite sure there’s anything left for him to live for, but...he can’t exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can’t technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He’ll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he’d be born with a quirk in the next life.
This fic has a discord.

Summary
In her sixth year, Dumbledore makes Hermione a key figure in a plan to help Harry defeat Voldemort. (It's difficult to summarize this without spoilers— HG/SS; there's a Time Turner involved but probably not how you expect; the story really gets started in Chapter Three.)

Summary
"You saved my life," Todoroki says.
Izuku freezes. Then he looks up. Todoroki Shouto is staring at him, his eyes calm but wide, dust and soot all over his face. His perfect, handsome face. He's more beautiful in person than Izuku could have imagined.
"You just saved all of us," Todoroki says again. "What's your name?"
"M-Midoriya," Izuku chokes out. "Midoriya Izuku."
Todoroki nods. "Midoriya. Thank you."
--
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?
