    Summary

    Giyuu finds himself conflicted in this very moment, wondering what in the timeline is at stake should he strike, because the annals of history are so easily altered that Sabito is standing next to him today (his own sword unsheathed and one of his hands tugging at Giyuu’s arms so hard his fingernails are digging divots into his skin.)
    He worries at his bottom lip, and registers the movement of the Lower Moon, who rudely has not waited for him to finish his rumination and was unleashing a demon blood art, whose exact skillset he does not remember but reacts to on instinct.
    Giyuu is struck by immense Deja Vu as he decapitates the demon once more.

    Tomioka Giyuu has no intention of becoming the Water Hashira again in this bright new world where Sabito is alive.

    Sabito takes in a deep breath. “WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?!?!”

    But really, old habits don't seem to die (even when he already did).
    And why does the Upper Third remember his name in a world years before Giyuu('s reckless ward Tanjiro) ever gives it to him?

    Summary

    Quirks are grouped into categories, either being seen as useful and useless, heroic and villainous. To have one in either category can affect you in more ways then you imagine. But no-one ever talks about how a quirk alters your sense of mind. Izuku is one of these people, and to him, fire and burning are nothing to worry about which the world doesn't accept, so he'll make it accept him and those that he calls friends.

    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.’

    This fic has a discord.

    Summary

    TW

     

    The moment Izuku lets himself tip forwards over the edge of the building, the sharp wind rushing his face and curls catching in the force of falling, he knows he’d make a grave mistake.

    I don’t want to die...

    But he’s already made his decision; you can't come back from this. He stares wide-eyed as the ground gets closer and closer as the seconds tick on, eyes squeezing shut as he waits for impact. He awaits the consequences of his own stupid actions and then—

     

    I don’t want to die.

     

    —and then he opens his eyes and he’s stood peering over the edge of the building he’d just fallen from. Beside him, his shoes are tucked neatly on the ledge, backpack leaned on the ground beside them just as he’d left them. Izuku blinks owlishly, leaning forwards to stare ten stories down. Ten stories down where he’d just been a moment prior, only seconds away from hitting the ground.

    He’s... back?

    And that’s the first time Midoriya Izuku realizes that he does, in fact, have a Quirk.

    Summary

    Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”

    The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.

    or,

    Izuku tries to pretend eveything is okay even though his homelife is crumbling around him, there's an insanely powerful Quirk that's not entirely his coursing through his veins, he suddenly knows his childhood hero, All Might, and to top it all off, he seems to have befriend a pastel blue-haired ghost that has way too much insider knowledge on Izuku's new homeroom teacher, and English teacher. He's really just trying to survive Yuuei...
