    Summary

    As he falls, he lets himself think about it. He lets himself think that if he wakes up, if things go back again, it means that he does have a quirk. It means he really can take a swan dive off a roof and hope for better luck in his next life. It means that all along, he’s been useless and worthless because he hasn’t died yet.

    He hits the ground.

    And then he opens his eyes.

    (vigilante!izuku AU where izuku has a quirk that rewinds time when he dies)
    (hiatus! will be eventually adapted into an original work. for updates/more information, my twitter is nauticalwarri0r)

    Summary

    "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

    Or, you're raised a villain, rebel when you're nine, and fight against the odds to become a hero anyway.

    That's how it is in Izuku's case.

    Summary

    Izuku wasn’t sure where the idea came from, or why anyone could have ever thought it was a good idea. Ripped away from the dark runway that he called home base, Izuku was thrown into what the scavengers had warned him of—legal custody of a hero.

    Or, in his case, multiple heroes.

    He wasn’t sure why. He wasn’t even sure the specific date—he could never keep track of time, anyway, not with all that went on—but one minute he was baring his teeth to another person and the next he was somewhere calm and without blood or smoke. One moment he was there and the next he was being told he was safe, now. He was safe then. Izuku had been safe this whole time.

    He didn’t know what they were talking about.

    (or: izuku is just trying to escape his new legal custodians after being stolen from the only life he knew. the universe has other plans for him, including healing.)

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku does in fact know the difference between right and wrong, no matter what anyone else tries to tell you. Does he steal from time to time? Yes. Being fourteen and homeless is a difficult feat and he'll take all the help he can get. Lying? He's been there, done that. It's a necessity if he wants to keep up his current lifestyle.

    Life was going smoothly, all things considered. Right up until the point where he gets busted for stealing classified information and lies about being a psychic to cover his ass. Now he's somehow been marked as a wanted vigilante, which surprisingly isn't an unwelcome change in his daily routine. All he has to do to stop it from crashing down around him is keep this ever growing lie from unraveling.

    If only he could keep his story straight.

    Summary

    Izuku's only truly used his quirk once. He was four years old.
    He took thirty-two lives that day.
    Now, he's sworn never to let that power possess him again. Hiding the true nature of his quirk from everyone, he hides behind the thin facade of a useless, showy quirk, refusing any and all connection to the mysterious creature recognized in a few sparse news reports as the Leviathan.
    Lies don't last forever, however, and one day or another, his world will have to come crashing down.
