    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya was scared of his neighbor. Her eyes were the intense color of freshly bloomed cherry blossoms, the pupil an animalistic slit, and he could have sworn that the one time he saw her smile she had fangs.

    But he couldn’t stay scared forever, not when his mom was leaving him with her for a week.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya's life changed on that night twelve years ago when his father gave his own life to save his family and defeat the ultimate evil. Izuku found himself growing up fatherless and quirkless, until one fateful birthday when a chance encounter with All Might opened a new world of possibilities to the boy. Now, he stands at the cusp of a new chapter of his life, empowered as the ninth holder of One For All. Is Izuku ready to take his first steps onto the stage? What new friends and enemies await him?

    The year is 2259.
    This is the second part of a series. The events of this story will make much more sense if you read My Hero Academia: Ultra Ascendance - Prelude first to understand how this diverges from canon.

    Summary

    “The only people left… are Quirkless?”

    The day Izuku Midoriya got One for All should have been the best day of his life, but it quickly turns out to be his worst. When 80% of the population suddenly vanishes, Izuku suddenly goes from a Quirkless nobody, to the only hero in the world.

    He quickly adopts a younger sister, saves an American girl from thugs, and becomes the personal student of U.A.'s principal. In that order. But he isn't the only one with an incredible power to avoid the Rapture, and he comes face-to-face with mysterious Villains and a centuries old conspiracy, all while dealing with his Quirk's unexpected changes.

    Summary

    Seven years after graduating from UA, Jirou Kyouka’s life has stalled; she’s getting nowhere as a hero, got recently dumped by her girlfriend, and spends all her free time doing absolutely nothing in her filthy apartment. Her only saving grace? No one's around to see her failures firsthand anymore.

    Until she gets contacted by an old friend, Midoriya Izuku, Japan’s greatest hero, asking if he can move in with her. Despite her reservations, she agrees – she probably owes him that much, after everything he’s done. Now all she has to do is hide just how bad things have gotten for her from the most meddlesome hero to ever exist.

    A slow burn romance about piecing things back together.

    Summary

    In their last year at UA, Yaoyorozu finally gets a peek at what Midoriya writes in his notebooks, and finds herself fascinated. She quickly convinces him his thoughts are worth exploring further, and the two of them decide to work together to learn more about the quirks of their friends.

    But quirks aren’t just astounding abilities without context; they impress themselves on who they inhabit, shaping their lives in ways only their holders can understand. It is a lesson that Izuku and Momo will learn, over and over; but, just maybe, they’ll come out of it with a better understanding of the friends they care so deeply for, and each other.

    An exploration into the nature of Quirks, and the people that hold them; then, and 8 years later

    Summary

    Izuku has plans for everything.

    He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

    For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

    Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

    (Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

    Summary

    When Izuku wakes up in the forest not far from his home, he isn't prepared for what's about to come next.
    Izuku's never dealt with time travel, after all, but that seems to be the least of his worries. He's not in his own timeline, for one, and he may or may not have been missing for the past few months.

    With the threat of a future only Izuku knows about, a strange missing persons case, everyone around him getting suspicious, and a quirk he shouldn't have, Izuku has his work cut out for him.

    Summary

    Izuku was different from other kids. Nobody ever lost a chance to remind him of that. But nobody knew how deep the rift was.

    He didn’t have a father. Not anymore.
    He was Quirkless in a word where that word was meant for a dying breed.
    He was incredibly smart, or smart enough to know that he should keep that as his official Quirk status.
    He was sure that Villains didn’t deserve to live, and that the Heroes that kept the corrupt system alive weren’t any better.

    With a crystalline plan in his head, a vengeance burning in his heart, and enough guts to lie his way to the top, this kid will turn the world upside down.
    And, perhaps, find someone worth walking with along the way.

    Summary

    Being told by his idol that he can be a hero was the greatest thing that had ever happened in Midoriya Izuku’s life. In fact, it was so incredible and amazing that it compelled him to do something that he had been taught from an early age to NEVER do. He asked his teacher a question.

    Or: Izuku decides to ask Toshinori to teach him how to use One For All while he’s cleaning up the beach. This prompts Toshinori to realize that he actually can’t really do that. So he reluctantly calls Gran Torino and gets him to help train and supervise Izuku’s ten month American Dream Plan for entering UA.

    Part 2 of Prince of Slytherin. Pretty fantastic read - one or two plots were a little too obvious considering how long they went on for (cough Ron) and how no characters cottoned on. But, still amazing, characters are all fleshed out and Harry is realistically powerful, but still is a 12 year old with a lot to learn.

    Harry Potter was Sorted into Slytherin after a crappy childhood. His brother Jim is believed to be the BWL. Think you know this story? Think again. Year Three (Harry Potter and the Death Eater Menace) starts on 9/1/16. NO romantic pairings prior to Fourth Year. Basically good Dumbledore and Weasleys. Limited bashing (mainly of James).

    A pretty hilarious and interesting read - basically Harry and Sirius in their own buddy cop film. The only thing I've noticed on reread is it has some offensive humour which doesn't sit well with me since it seems tasteless.

    Prequel to another story - really digging the vibe of this one, very much a messy team dynamic with Harry slowly getting his shit together. It's fun to see a story where Harry is both in a bit of a pathetic spot, but also very competent and good at being the muscle.
