    Summary

    Harry Potter was done.

    All he had ever wanted was a little less time at the Dursleys. Technically, he got his wish after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. But he had been picturing something along the lines of a quiet holiday in Italy, not a stint in Azkaban.

    One year later, Harry is released, only to discover that Italy is still very much not on the table and, somehow, he’s being sent straight back to Privet Drive.

    Fortunately for the plot, Sirius decides that witnessing the murder of a classmate clearly wasn’t enough trauma for one lifetime and drops a small, life-altering detail: Harry’s parentage is not what he thought. And if Harry can survive a basilisk, the Triwizard Tournament, and Umbridge, then surely he can survive a trip to New York to get himself emancipated.

    Because what could possibly go wrong?

    A new job, a government interrogation or two, and an unexpected rivalry over blueberries later, Harry finds himself wondering why everyone makes such a big deal about Tony Stark.

    He’s not going to be that difficult to deal with.

    …Right?

    Summary

    Izuku watches his childhood and current best friend get murdered by the sludge villain while the heroes hold him back.

    They say there was nothing they could have done, they didn’t have “suitable quirks”.

    Izuku’s anger fuels his need to show them that your quirk, or lack there of, shouldn’t stop you from saving a life.

    He loses more and more of himself as he speeds towards the next fight, the next villain. All in the hopes of keeping his dead friends dream alive.

    Will it all come crashing down around him? Will he lose himself completely and become nothing more than a shell of his former self? Or will he find people in this life who are willing to help him back to the surface before he drowns?

    Summary

    Kintsugi: The Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It represents the idea that broken doesn't mean unfixable. That even something shattered can be made into a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.

    Izuku knows that life will always be unfair to people like him. He knows that he can't bring his mother back from the dead or make his father love him. He knows he's destined for a life of loneliness and pain. Knows that his goal to be a quirkless hero is nearly impossible.

    Izuku knows that he's broken.

    But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
    Will Izuku let them?

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.

    So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.

    The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’

    Summary

    He just wakes up and the world is different. Heroes don’t exist, people don’t have quirks— except for him. Oh of course he freaking has one! Because even in this twisted timeline, Izuku Midoriya still finds himself as the outcast. But maybe this time he can use it to his advantage. He can save people. Izuku Midoriya can become a hero! Well, he’s more like a vigilante at this point, but who cares about labels?

    The neighborhood police task force, that's who. Aizawa can feel the headache coming on already. And why does this strange kid seem to know so much about him?

    Summary

    "A small part of Izuku screamed at him to do something, to run forward and save him. If this had happened just a few hours ago, before Kacchan told him to jump off a roof, before All Might had told him to give up, before his dreams had been torn apart and thrown in his face, maybe he would have.

    Instead, he just watched."

     

    In which Toga finds Izuku’s analysis notebook and decides to make a new friend, Izuku is maybe a little bit sadistic, and Bakugo regrets all of his life choices.

    Summary

    Shouta’s plan had been ill-defined and desperate from the start, but he figures the important shit boiled down to, “Change as little as possible, make sure Midoriya doesn’t get himself killed, and stock up on lychee jelly pouches because that flavor got discontinued three years from now.” Keeping it simple’s always better, and he’s normally good at improvising.

    Somewhere along the way, he must’ve fucked up since now he has:

    A quirkless problem child hanging off of his every word

    His best friend going through a sexuality crisis thanks to said problem child’s mom

    His other best friend clinging to him like a security blanket

    Some two-bit mob boss threatening him with bouquets of daffodils

    To wring the number one hero’s fucking neck for not telling him anything useful before sending him decades into the past

    All he did was walk Izuku Midoriya home. It wasn’t meant to turn into whatever mess this is.

    Summary

    All Might’s new successor was kidnapped by Humarise. All for One’s son was kidnapped by Humarise. Aizawa witnesses a reckless kid get kidnapped by Humarise. None of them know that they’re looking for the same person, even though they just teamed up to find him.

    OR: The last movie was a great excuse to write about Izuku being kidnapped by a cult that worships quirkless people.

    Summary

    Also known as the Condiment Crew, the Sunshine Squad, and the Colorful Crazies, this is an alternate canon where instead of meeting Uraraka and Iida, Midoriya Izuku met Kirishima and Kaminari, and everything changed.

    It's gay, crack, and then more gay (with a healthy dash of some science thrown in) in this epic retelling of My Hero Academia where Mido was just a few minutes earlier and met some different people.

    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.

    Summary

    Yagi Toshinori watched the green haired boy walk away after saving his friend and shook his head. While the boy's actions were heroic, he was just too reckless. He walked in the opposite direction, thinking about a time he could meet the candidate Sir Nighteye put forward.

    Izuku Midoriya goes home and decides that, even if he can't be hero himself, he can still help them with his analysis. Cue Izuku catching the attention of multiple heroes who are a little more open-minded and willing to see the potential in a quirkless kid.
