Summary

“Since we’re telling jokes,” Hawks hummed, turning back around, teeth glinting in the night. “I’ve got a funny one. You ready?”
Izuku nodded, not sure if the question was rhetorical.
“Great.” Hawks clapped his hands together. “The commission wants you dead.”

EDIT (2/2/25): Hey guys, some stuff happened (nothing huge) but I did also lose my journal that was full of everything for part two so that really sucked. Part two is still a work in progress rn, and as soon as I am finished with the chapter I am working on rn, I will publish! I know I said December/Jan but unfortunately that did not happen.

“I have never been to a Hero Gala once, why would I go now?” Shouta rolled his eyes, neck already feeling itchy at the idea of those god-awful suits.
Hizashi didn’t seem amused. “Because you have a kid now.”

Summary

                “Did you catch him, Endeavor?” Izuku asks as he stares up, up, up at the behemoth of a man. Cold, blue eyes turn to him, his hard expression never changing. No one says anything for a moment.
                “I will,” Endeavor says finally. “Someday, I will find that man.”
                Izuku accepts the promise with a nod. He has no tears left and wouldn’t have squandered them on Midoriya Hisashi if he did, so he simply bows deeply to the hero.
                “Thank you.”
                “Don’t thank me, Izuku. It is my duty. He has disgraced the Todoroki clan for the last time. We will not allow this villain to sully our family name any further.”
               Izuku straightens, confusion clear on his face.
                “You don’t know why I am here, do you?” Endeavor asks, “Midoriya Hisashi was born Todoroki Hisashi, my younger brother. You are my nephew.”

Summary

“Shall we start the bidding then?” He gestured grandly towards Izuku. “How much are you willing to pay to buy this one of a kind-”
Without lifting its legs or showing much movement, Izuku twisted, until the whites of his eyes stared at them. “You think you can buy us,” he says, and everyone jolts.
It wasn’t Izuku’s voice. It was deep and tonal, reminding Uraraka of that night when they stayed up playing with Jirio’s sound machines. They had played with the controls, distorting their voices. It had been funny then to hear such distorted voices. But now? Uraraka shivered. Izuku sounded ancient. Deadly.

Summary

"So we're gonna just not acknowledge the fact that you yanked Todoroki from the other side of the couch with only a thought?" Shinsou asks, eyebrow raising.
"Well-"
"Shinsou," Todoroki says, cutting Midoriya off, "we're sleeping. Go find your own Midoriya to bother."
or, Midoriya develops a latent quirk that pulls people he has an mutual affection for towards him with just a thought. Class 1A thinks it's cute. Midoriya does not.

Summary

“Yes,” All for One agreed. “This will be the final resting place of All Might.”
“You,” Midoriya Izuku said and paused, thinking over the words. He sounded taken aback. “You want me to help fight All Might.”
“Of course,” All for One nodded along. “I can offer you double of whatever my counterpart is paying you currently, along with anything your little heart could desire. Of course, you would get to help out drastically—"
“Did you happen to check what world you were pulling me out of when you did this?” Midoriya Izuku interrupted and it was said in such an incredulous tone that had the situation not been as critical as it was, All Might would have laughed.
Also known as: number one hero Deku has been through a lot of things, but being thrust into an alternate reality where he’s All for One’s Successor is a first. He has to navigate this world when his alternate self is a villain who's dead-set on killing him and this version of class 1-A. All the while, his friends search desperately for a way to get him back.
