    Summary

    Despite what everyone around him believed, Izuku did have a quirk.
    A quirk which convinced people he was quirkless.
    Yeah.
    So when he was offered the chance to inherit All Might’s quirk, Izuku believed that he could finally be the hero that he'd always wanted to be.
    Nothing in Izuku's life could be that simple.

    Summary

    Izuku's quirk is simple, it tells him exactly what he needs to do.
    It tells him to grab an umbrella and that afternoon it rains unexpectedly. It tells him to bring cash and it turns out the card reader is out of order.
    His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
    Well, why not?
    - - -
    Does the name All for One mean anything to Izuku? Nope.
    Will he tear down the empire of a powerful villain who has been terrorizing Japan for over a century anyway? Sure.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya wants nothing more in this world than to be a hero. His mother, a former pro hero herself, decides to put her disillusionment with heroics aside to help him achieve his dream. Absolutely no one could have imagined that he’d develop a quirk that may potentially make him more powerful than All Might himself.

    Summary

    “He did it! Deku defeated Shigaraki!”

    The pain and heat radiating from the jagged stump on her forehead pulsed in agitation at the deafening cheer of the crowd around her, yet Eri couldn’t help but join in.

    Deku-san had done it!

    Now everything could go back to normal! Apple parties and practicing songs and-

    “Wait, what’s going on?”

    Eri paused, staring at the screen in confusion as Deku began to fall to the ground, body limp.

    Why wouldn't he float and break his fall?

    The brightness of the shelter dimmed as the helicopter camera turned away, but everyone could imagine the thud of a body hitting the ground below.

    Oh…

    ***

    Two decades after the end of the Paranormal Liberation War and the death of Deku, Eri finds herself living an unremarkable life in a bleak world slowly crumbling around her, until a freak accident gives her the chance to be a hero all her own…if she takes it.

    Or, Eri's offered horn was enough to give Deku his arms back and finish the fight, but not quite enough to truly save him…this time. With this second chance, she will be his hero.

    Summary

    A boy made of lies that were all supposed to mean something. His quirk, his past, his NAME, all carefully built to mean nothing. But it never goes according to plan. Izuku thought he had everything handled, under control. His quirk is nothing, like everyone thinks it is. His past is locked away, where it can't hurt anyone anymore. His name? Fake, obviously. Both of them.

    How long can this relative peace last when a desperate vigilante bites off more than he can chew? How will run-ins with heroes, villains, and a strange girl with a penchant for knives alter the course of history?

    Meanwhile, a different girl sits on a beach, an outcast from birth. A destiny approaches her, brought on by one lucky chance and a conversation with a man the shadow of what he used to be. When destiny and the public eye prove to be too much, who will be there to pick up the pieces?

    And what's wrong with these quirks?

    This is the beginning of something more.

    ----

    Or, Izuku has AFO and nothing ever goes according to plan. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.
