    Summary

    All Might had the same meeting with Deku 10 years previous, just shortly after his battle with All for One. All Might was much more bitter, much harsher on a kid who was just looking for a way to survive. The injury was too fresh and he wasn’t focused on a successor back then. Izuku was told in no uncertain terms that he would never be a hero. But that doesn’t mean that he’ll stop being heroic. All Might was right, you can still help people without being a hero.

    In fact, there are many, many ways to do it.

    Izuku has found just about all of them.

    –

    “Subconsciously, I think it was a fuck you to All Might or the universe. It was either that or throw myself off the nearest roof. So my brain opted for self preservation.” The analyst chuckles wryly, “even if that just meant keeping myself and others alive out of sheer spite.”

    Deku’s shoulders drop in a halting shrug, “Whatever worked, I suppose.”

    “You’ve saved a lot of people,” Shouta breathes and Hizashi's eyes burn as Deku looks away, “Saved lives. Helped these kids, this community-“

    “But I’m no hero,” his gnarled fingers splay wide, shaking in almost mocking jazz hands. Voice bitter but resigned, practiced.

    It was heartbreaking.

    Summary

    The hero commission decides to roll out a poorly designed dating software for its registered heroes in the interest of avoiding any tabloid drama when someone -*cough* Hawks- is photographed doing the walk of shame- again.

    That's all well and good until Shinsou and Izuku get drunk off their asses and decide it would be funny to make a profile for Izuku, and it is one hell of a profile.

    Or: Izuku and Shouta both get insane profiles made for themselves and somehow end up on a blind date, things spiral from there.

    The Transmigration of Izuku Midoriya as the Villain in an Otome Game by

    Summary

    As he stood on an apartment rooftop, contemplating his life while trying to acknowledge—and fail—to accept that his dream had been shattered into pieces by his idol, Izuku Midoriya suddenly got transmigrated into another world.

    Indubitably, this world had significant differences from his previous world and Izuku didn’t think this world was much better than the world he came from. First, it was an otome world and he’d never played otome games before. Second, there was no quirk and magic replaced it. But in this magic society, he was still magicless. Third, the noble society was as rotten as the quirk society. Also lastly, there were important characters whose actions would decide the fate of the world.

    5 love interests, a heroine, a villainess, and a villain.

    Out of all those characters, he was the antagonist, or the main villain who apparently had ended that world once.

    This is the story how Izuku Midoriya becomes a hero villain in a popular otome game, falls in love, changes the story, and saves the world anyway.

    (Not related to the previous part of the series).

    Not Powerless by

    Summary

    As the youngest son of the number one hero, by all rights Izuku Midoriya should have been a spoiled brat. In another world he might have been, but in this world he wasn't. In fact, at best his family ignores him. All because he has no quirk. Without a quirk, he cannot be a hero.

    When he gains access to a power far older than quirks, he will turn his dream into a reality. Izuku Midoriya will be a hero. He will make a family of his own.

    In this world that worships power above everything else, he is not powerless!
