    Summary

    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Midoriya babbles, as Kouta thrashes. Midoriya’s blood is hot on his lips, leaking into his mouth, coating his tongue like thick metallic syrup.

    Kouta gags.

    “Let me go!” He shouts, muffled through Midoriya’s hand. He jabs his elbow backwards, immediately feeling guilty when he hears the high, pained sound that escapes from Midoriya’s throat. Midoriya’s grip slips and weakens, but he still doesn’t let go.

    “I’m s-sorry,” Midoriya repeats miserably, over and over again.

    Sometimes, even good people make terrible, unfair decisions, when they think they're going to die.

    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Midoriya babbles, as Kouta thrashes. Midoriya’s blood is hot on his lips, leaking into his mouth, coating his tongue like thick metallic syrup.

    Midoriya gets a lot more hurt in the fight against Muscular.

    [He sees nine backs lined up in front of him, guarding him, acting as a blockade against the violence.

    These people weren’t there during the actual attack, Kouta knows. If they were, maybe Midoriya would be okay. Maybe Midoriya wouldn’t have sounded so desperate and sad when he’d been trying to give something to Kouta.

    Two of the figures don’t seem to exist, their bodies half formed, nothing more than wisps of smoke curling into the vague shape of human bodies. One of those two turns to look at him, and a pair of sparking green circles, woven from lightning and starlight, meet Kouta’s wide eyes.

    Kouta wakes up to find his room has flooded around him.]

    Summary

    Hours later, when the sun has completely gone down and Shouto steps out of the shower for the third time, his hair is the pitchest, mattest black he’s ever seen. He marvels at it in the foggy mirror, tilting his head this way and that, not even bothered by the blotchy stains of dye left around his hairline where he’d been a little sloppy. It's not bad for an amateur self-dye job.

    Slowly, Shouto brings a hand up, and covers the left side of his face.

    The person who stares back at him is just a plain teenage boy, with a plain face, and nothing remarkable about him.

    Shouto dares to smile.

    Shouto Todoroki runs away from everything he's ever known. He ends up finding a friend, and himself.

    Tanaka has a head of black hair and Izuku has a broken leg. They're coworkers in a little grocery store.

    The Fourth Dimension by Talavin

    Izumo Kamizuki is a good chunin, but going back in time to save the world from a Rinne Sharingan-wielding Rabbit Goddess? He’d probably refer you to someone higher up, like Kakashi or Naruto. Unfortunately, the entire world has gone to hell, and he's the only one left to do the job.

    OR: Obito isn’t fast enough to save Naruto and Kakashi from Kaguya’s corrosive All-Killing Ash Bones. With Naruto out of the picture, and Sasuke dead moments later, any hope of sealing Kaguya away is gone. Instead he decides to go with plan B. No-name chunin Izumo somehow gets caught in the middle.

    1. The Fourth Dimension
    [Listen to me! There is nobody else. I was able to feel it when you regained your consciousness, and believe me when I say that no one else in the entire world did the same. You and me… we’re the only people in existence who aren’t dead or enslaved by Kaguya.”

    Izumo Kamizuki… was the only person who could save the world? Izumo wasn’t the kind of ninja that you gave missions like this. He was decent at what he did, but he was the kind of ninja that spent his entire career quietly in the chunin corps before retiring at thirty and spending the rest of his life pushing forms in Administration.

    “What the hell am I supposed to do that would make a difference? I’m not even close enough to the Hokage to convince her that I’m telling the truth!”

    “I don’t know!” Obito yelled. “All I know is that you’re the only one who can do anything and you can’t exactly make it worse than it is right now.”]

    2. Impossibility, like Wine
    Izumo's a pretty average guy with a good head on his shoulders, but defeating Akatsuki, preventing Madara from gathering the Tailed Beasts, and ensuring Kagura never has a chance to enslave the world might be somewhat different from the C and B-ranked missions that he's used to.

    Also, Izumo's suddenly in a team with elite ninja, he cooks dinner for Kakashi, and he unlocks a number of new skills by looking at his existing skills in a new way (like his chakra control being too good when using yin-yang chakra, and levelling up his elemental manipulation) and by virtue of future World Tree fuckery (like his genjutsu-breaking, and his sensing abilities).

    [Izumo chuckled, but the silence afterwards was a bit awkward. “So, I suppose a lot of people have seen your face then, if you show it to anyone who cooks for you?” he asked, mostly to fill the void.

    “Actually,” Kakashi mused. “You’re the first person in years—outside of my Anbu team—who’s made a meal for me.”

    “Really!” cried the chunin. That would explain the desperate eating earlier.

    The white-haired man scratched at his cheek sheepishly. “Um, is there a polite way to say that everyone I’ve ever loved is dead?”

    Izumo’s face fell. “No, not really.”]

    Danger First by Marsalias

    What if the first quirk in One for All to activate wasn't the power stockpile, but Danger Sense?

    The undead peanut gallery in his haunted quirk give Izuku super anxiety first instead of brone breaking juice. Also, the UA adults are a lot more sensible than the ✨incompetent✨ past ones from Aldera.

     

    ["Danger Sense isn't even going off right now, Izuku," said Yoichi, despairingly. "Why are you still so nervous?"

    "Maybe we never really gave him Danger Sense after all, and it was his natural anxiety the whole time."

    "Please stop denigrating my quirk."]

     

    ["Alright," said En, in a tone that indicated he wanted attention. "Now that Ninth is no longer in danger of immediate death, I think we have some things to talk about. Firstly, Yoichi, I have a question for you."

    Yoichi looked resigned. "Ask away, then."

    "Before I ask it, I just want to preface that I've always had the utmost respect for you, and obviously there's nothing you can do to act on it from in here, but I can't help but notice that you seem... unusually attached to Ninth."

    Yoichi gestured for En to contine.

    "So, I have to ask... Yoichi, are you a pedophile?"

    "No, I'm not rel- a pedophile?"

    "Like I said, you seem unusu-"

    "I'm his uncle!"]

     

    [Shouta stepped into his empty classroom and picked the nearest security camera. “Forget the raise, I want an investigation into Aldera Middle School.”

    “You are allowed to have both, you realize,” said Nezu over the intercom.

    But did he deserve both, that was the question.

    “I know what you’re thinking,” said Nezu. “If it helps, think of it as less of a raise, and more of a stipend for the therapy you will need!”

    Why would that help?”]
