Summary
Izuku sits and thinks.
He’s been worrying people, lately, hasn’t he? All just because he… he-
No. You’re fine. It’s fine.
(The late night dinner he’d been brought by his friends and eaten way too quickly sits heavy in his gut. He resolutely ignores the way his stomach still screams at him with hunger.)
---------
OR: After Kacchan is kidnapped, Izuku eats less to deal with the stress. It slowly becomes a sick form of comfort and things, as they always do, get worse from there.

Summary
Izuku sighed, rubbing his head. He really didn’t know why. He had a villainous quirk, and no matter how much he tried, everyone had always told him that he couldn’t be a hero, to give up…
Still.
He was trying. Even though his own mother had practically given up on him, even though all his classmates treated him like dirt, even though his teachers saw him as nothing more than a waste of space, he was still trying.

Summary
“I’ll say this briefly,” Aizawa-Sensei says, sighing slightly. “Are you the traitor?”
Izuku freezes. Whatever he had been expecting, this was far from it. His thoughts slow to a snail’s pace in shock.
Him? The traitor?
That topic was brought up on occasion— the odds of the League of Villains knowing exactly where they were and when they would be there was far too much for it to just be a coincidence. It was often a joke, but deep down everyone thought about it.
But Izuku?

Summary
Izuku Midoriya has endured a decade of abuse, ridicule, and social ostracization due to his status as 'Quirkless'. Even his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugou, has tossed him aside and made it a mission to drill his uselessness home. But despite his obstacles and the derision of his peers, Izuku will never give up on his dream of being a hero, and will never feel shame for being called Quirkless.
Because it's easier than acknowledging that he has a Quirk at all.

Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
Izuku was born with a rare type of soulmate: parental. After being diagnosed quirkless, his father leaves and his mother becomes distant, leading Izuku to believe his third parent would do the same. Desperate to retain a positive relationship with his soul-parent, he keeps them at arm's length for fear of them rejecting him too.
Shouta is worried about his soul-child. Over the last few years they've become withdrawn. Shouta isn't naïve, he knows why children get parental soul bonds. He just wants to make sure they're okay (and maybe meet them and maybe adopt them). Maybe he is just as much of a dad as his friends say.

Izuku knows that he's broken.
But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
