Summary
Living with his aunt and uncle isn't ideal, but its better than foster care. Himikun said they think the quirkless are normal, though. Which is good. He thinks. Maybe they'll help Izuku become a hero. At least they won't be like his teachers. But why did Himikun look so heartbroken when she said "normal?" He turns to his cousin curled on the couch, her eyes closed, gripping something in her hoodie pocket. She was there for him when he found out about mom. After that, Izuku will be there for her for anything. He doesn't have anyone else left anyway.
OR
After Inko's death Izuku and Himiko run away to become a vigilante duo, finding themselves a family along the way.
ON HIATUS
To be clear, this fic is not dead. I still have many plans, but right now all of my writing juices are going towards a Pokemon fanfic.

Summary
This is the day everything changed.
Izuku is fourteen again.
That means he needs to plan. He needs to find a way to fix the mistakes of the future and stop his friends from dying. He refuses to fail this time.
He'll be the Hero he couldn't be.
Or, Midoriya Izuku was Quirkless, was gifted a Quirk from All Might, went to Yuuei, fought in a War, lived through the After and was supposed to die. Only he finds himself back in the past with a skewed moral code, PTSD, and an extreme desire to stop his friends from dying brutal deaths. He is going to change the future, make some friends, maybe find a boyfriend, give some Villains a reason to be better and stop some Heroes. For better or for worse.

Summary
Toshinori reaches a hand, the one that is shattered beyond repair and drenched in blood. He gives a smile to the boy. He can feel blood smeared across his teeth. He can't imagine his smile is any reassurance, but Toshinori is dying and desperate. A piss-poor smile is all he can give.
A piss-poor smile, and an earth-shattering quirk.
'I have a healing quirk,' he lies, begging the boy with his eyes. Please, say yes. Please accept my DNA. 'It only works on others. Let me h-help you? I won't last.' Toshinori's words come more and more haltingly. He can feel cold darkness encroaching on his limbs already. He tilts his hand, just slightly, just enough to renew his offer to the boy. 'At-At least… Not long enough… For help to arrive in time.'
*
Yagi Toshinori gets caught in a building collapse in his powered-down form. As he lays dying and without a successor, he offers his quirk to a young boy who is trapped alongside him.
All Might never makes it out of the building. But Midoriya Izuku does.
With no parent and a new limb-breaking quirk, he becomes a ward of UA.

Summary
Jason, or Jace for short, was always a fan of Pokemon, and games and anime in general. So after finding himself in a world full of the critters after a mugging, he doesn’t have much to complain about. Maybe the fact the world is a bit darker than he would have liked, but that just drives him to want to help out all the Pokemon he comes across.
We follow him as he helps deal with the many problems of the Pokemon he meets, trips on more twists than a pretzel, thwarts villainous plots, and tries to live the fantastical sort of dream that he’s always wished for. But of course it can’t be that easy. He still needs to figure out why he was brought here, why he can talk to Pokemon, and why he knows more things than he remembers about a world that he was only mildly obsessed with. But that’s a problem for the future.
This is a wholesome sort of slice of life with lots of adventure stuff and a bit of a darker edge, following someone who wants to see the world and make friends with as many Pokemon as possible.
New chapters come out bi-weekly.

Summary
Izuku hates himself. He's Quirkless. There's no way he can become a hero. He has very mixed feelings about his body. Instead of laying in bed depressed he goes out and jumps off buildings to take his mind off things. It ends about as well as you'd expect.
Himiko hates herself. She doesn't want to drink blood, but she has to, like a monster. She wanders the city, trying to find a meal that won't tip off her parents. Then a boy falls from the sky.
Sometimes when you're all alone in the world, it helps to be alone with someone else. -

Summary
A boy made of lies that were all supposed to mean something. His quirk, his past, his NAME, all carefully built to mean nothing. But it never goes according to plan. Izuku thought he had everything handled, under control. His quirk is nothing, like everyone thinks it is. His past is locked away, where it can't hurt anyone anymore. His name? Fake, obviously. Both of them.
How long can this relative peace last when a desperate vigilante bites off more than he can chew? How will run-ins with heroes, villains, and a strange girl with a penchant for knives alter the course of history?
Meanwhile, a different girl sits on a beach, an outcast from birth. A destiny approaches her, brought on by one lucky chance and a conversation with a man the shadow of what he used to be. When destiny and the public eye prove to be too much, who will be there to pick up the pieces?
And what's wrong with these quirks?
This is the beginning of something more.
----
Or, Izuku has AFO and nothing ever goes according to plan. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.
