    Summary

    (Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)

    Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”

    “Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”

    “Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”

    “I-I’m what?! W-wait!”

    tl;dr

    Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

    Summary

    After a grueling battle in the U.A. Sports Festival, Aizawa Sensei begins training Hitoshi after school.

    Hitoshi knows he doesn’t deserve it, but he accepts anyway.

    Aizawa Sensei notices the cracks in Hitoshi’s carefully maintained facade, bruises hidden beneath his sleeves, a perpetually empty stomach, exhaustion too deep to blame on schoolwork.
    He helps Hitoshi get removed and put into a new home.Now he’s in U.A’s hero course, not being beaten for the first time in his life, and he even starts to believe the lie that Aizawa might care about him.

    But his new foster father is… off. He lingers too long. Presses too close. Watches too intently.

    As the lines blur and danger creeps in again, Hitoshi must decide whether to speak up and risk everything, or stay silent, and survive.

    such a well written 'something is wrong with this guy and i know it, but it's just barely there and nothing tangible or bad has happened, so i might be reading into it, and therefore can't tell anyone, because even i don't know why i don't like them', and pretty well written i would say. bit of a gut punch, and if you have sensitive stomach, tread carefully.
    a very happy bonus note: the stupid jackass pedophile gets the shit kicked out of him. very, very, very good fic.

    seriously, this fic is one of those that sticks with you for at least a few days after you read it. shit hits hard.

    read this during the post-christmas-pre-new-years limbo during a RUFF TIME 11pm while listening to Amber Waves by Ethel Cain; a quintuple whammy of enough depressing energy to put someone on suicide watch. this fic is achingly saddening enough on its own, i would not recommend following in my footsteps. it was like a cocktail of numbing bleakness. a 'battery acid spaghetti! don't do this.' of demoralization. just so depressing.

    Summary

    “You work as a surgeon for an illegal underground clinic?”

    “It just so happens that this clinic here is only MOSTLY illegal. There’s big difference between mostly illegal and all illegal. Mostly illegal is slightly legal.”

    “Problem child…”

    Izuku secretly spends his nights working for an underground hospital which serves quirkless patients, people without insurance, and those who would prefer to avoid the eyes of the law. However, after years of hard-work keeping his nighttime activities a secret, his hero work and night life start to collide.

    Or: what happens when I watch BNHA when I’m in the mood for a medical drama.

    Summary

    After the majority of his students are docked points from the inability to interact with those they're rescuing properly in the Provisional Hero Liscensing exam, Aizawa Shōta sets up a volunteer program for his 1-A students as a means for them to get out into the world and learn how to socialize with those different from them.

    He honestly didn't think anything was wrong until there's a knock on his apartment door in the middle of the night. What could Midoriya Izuku want at this hour?

    (Additional information and warnings in the beginning notes.)
