    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku was four years old when he learned that he was quirkless, but that wasn't going to stop him. Despite discrimination and losing everything he knew, he was going to be his own brand of hero even if it meant being a little illegal.

    Aizawa was way to young to find a teenager on a roof in the middle of the night, but that wasn't going to stop his parental instincts.

    This is a what if story. What if Deku was still quirkless but realized that it was still possible to be a hero? What if he had a really supportive parental figure in his life that helped him learn what he needed to be the best hero he can be?

    Summary

    Faint crackling electricity, like the fabric of a windbreaker rubbing against itself, covering the sound of shifting rubble and settling dust. It’s a sound Katsuki’s heard a thousand times before, usually preceded with a shout from Deku saying One For All-

    “Full Cowling,” Katsuki whispers, staring and grasping for words. “What the fuck.”

    Deku is standing near Katsuki’s feet, back bowed forward like Atlas and body lit up with a green so bright it’s incandescent. Blackwhip escapes from his arms in countless tendrils, lightning arcs off his body every second, and there’s a faint tremble running through his legs.

    He’s terrifying. He’s beautiful.

    He’s holding the fucking building on his shoulders.

    -

    Bakugou and Midoriya get trapped under a building together.

    As Midoriya struggles to keep them both alive, refusing to give even an inch, Bakugou realizes some crucial things and refuses to leave without Midoriya by his side.

    Summary

    Holding his expensive camera tightly between his hands, Midoriya Izuku looked up at the once-white letters displayed on the black storefront banner. “The Hard Luck Bar,” he murmured to himself, unsure if he was getting ready to enter or flee.

    Amateur photographer Midoriya Izuku is stuck in a rut and desperate for a change of pace. Deep in his city's grimy underbelly, he finds exactly what he's looking for in the form of an underground punk sensation on the verge of their big break, fronted by a foul-mouthed firework of a human being.

    Loud, brash and passionate, Izuku may have just found the creative spark he needs, as well as something new to set his soul ablaze.

    Summary

    And it’s finally quiet, in the hospital. Dark enough without the overhead lights that the entire wing feels calm and his body doesn’t twitch uncomfortably at the constant surveillance he’s under during the day. It’s quiet, and he’s alone.

    Every day that he’s been out of surgery, that’s about the moment Izuku shows up.

    He’s less and less unprepared for the sound of his door being opened at this hour, the mechanical click from the handle and the heavy, low squeak of the panel shifting slowly ajar. It’s been about a week, now. Even the first time, Katsuki had a hard time feeling the shock he tells himself he maybe should have.

    Instead, like every other time, he feels relief.

    Katsuki's not given much of an option when it comes to redeeming his flailing reputation.

    Too bad no one decided to fill him in about Izuku.
