    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya always dreamed of becoming a superhero. Of fighting supervillains and saving people with a superpower to call his own. Except, the world he was born into was one devoid of superpowers. The Japan he lived in was not one of capes, masks and catchprases, but one of post-war chaos, collapsing economy and police struggling to maintain even vestiges of control over the cities in the wake of a raise in criminal activity and collapse in funding.

    It was a dream that couldn't come to fruition. A dream born of escapism, desire to help others and a weak health that together with Bakugou Katsuki killed all of his potentially achievable dreams. Something that Izuku himself was aware of. It was a fantasy that made the world a bit more bearable as days, months and years passed in a blurry. Nothing more.

    Everything changed when Izuku Midoriya awoke a genuine superpower. Dawn of Quirks has began, and with it, the age of supervillains and superheroes. As the society around him slowly collapses, Izuku will do his best to save as many people as he can. Despite the world of superheroes being way more complicated, dangerous and painful than he ever imagined.

    Summary

    Ochako Uraraka is devastated towards the beginning of her second year of her Junior High Career when her parents’ construction company goes under and forces them to move and uproot her life.

    But her perspective shifts when she meets a new neighbor and friend in Izuku Midoriya, a quirkless boy with his own aspirations to become a hero.

    Izuku has wanted nothing more than to be a hero, but combined with his quirklessness, and lack of support in his life, it has left him a nervous wreck.

    But that changes upon meeting Ochako, who becomes the first to truly believe in him.

    Compounded upon reconnecting with his quirkless uncle, who decides to help them both succeed, the two begin their journey together.

    Supporting one another, they are sure of one thing: Somehow, they’re both going to become two of the greatest heroes.

    (Contains elements of the ‘My Hero’ prototype)

    Summary

    The world of heroes had utterly failed Izuku Midoriya. So why not give the world of villains a try? Afterall, it couldn’t be worse than what Bakugo and All Might had done to him. Working for the League, he thinks it's what he wants, but is it?

    Despite being a villain, Midoriya still has a heart. But being a villain requires a person to be merciless and unfeeling. He pushes his moral limits further and further, to the point where he’s going against the very fiber of his being. Against the part of him that had once wanted to be a hero. How far is he willing to go?

    It’s a good thing the world is filled with much more caring people than Midoriya realizes.

    OR

    Midoriya’s a villain but he’s still good deep down, so Class 1-A (specifically Uraraka, Bakugo, Shinso and All Might) try to save him.

    Summary

    Mirai Sasaki never meant to be sentimental — but when a quiet, niche story about All-Might and a quirkless boy reads like a leaked blueprint of the future, he can’t look away. What starts as a theft of secrets becomes a map: raid plans, tragedies avoided, lives rearranged. Now the heroes have an edge they shouldn’t have — and a responsibility they can’t ignore.
