    Summary

    The Sludge Villain doesn't find Bakugo after escaping All Might, but some other random civilian. There's no series of explosions to draw All Might to the scene of the second attack. It's by pure luck that Izuku stumbles upon them. And Izuku does what he always has when he sees one person hurting another: inserts himself between the aggressor and victim. He finds this is significantly harder to do when one of the parties is a sentient slime.

    How is it possible that this concept was crafted into such a great story? I love their dynamic and it just blows my mind that the author could have come up with this and managed to execute it so well.

    Short and hilarious. I've re-read this multiple times since I was introduced to it and I suspect I'll be reading it many more.

    Summary

    After a failed suicide attempt, years of bullying, and his mother's death, Izuku Midoriya doesn't think he has any option besides joining the League of Villains. After all, foster care is no place for a quirkless kid like him. Plus, working as a hacker and analyst for the League doesn't sound like it would be too bad. But, after meeting a hurt little girl in Overhaul's headquarters, Toga and Izuku can't just sit back and take orders from Shigaraki anymore. With some careful consideration, Izuku figures a villain reformation program at UA doesn't sound horrible, even if it means having to put up with Bakugou.

    A sweet story

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya disappeared on the night of the encounter with the Sludge villain.

    A week later, he was declared dead, and all search efforts ceased—a usual fate for a quirkless nobody.

    Several weeks after that, his case was reopened due to the appearance of a new vigilante in Musutafu. A vigilante with an astonishing ability to vanish without a trace. What sets this one apart from the majority of vigilantes is that he's only fourteen years old and doesn't hide his face. No, Izuku Midoriya was starting to become known for his nocturnal activities in the city. The question was... Where did this quirk come from? Or where was he most of the time when he wasn't breaking the rules? Or why wasn't he hiding his identity? Or why did he refuse to go back home and also declined Eraser Head's help?

    Izuku Midoriya was a complete enigma. And like any good mystery, he had to carefully guard his secrets. Because once the truth was known, his entire life would shatter forever.

    Or perhaps it already had, and Izuku simply wasn't ready to admit it.

    Or, in the end, maybe Izuku did possess a quirk with an unusual activation. Izuku is a ghost who dedicates himself to fixing others' lives but not his own.
