    Summary

    It goes a little something like this:

    Izuku isn't real. Not in the sense that he cannot be perceived but in the sense that he is not registered in any database, legal or otherwise. He isn't real in the sense that the people who meet him believe him to be a hallucination at first. He isn't real in the sense that neither he nor his quirk should exist. Izuku isn't real.

    Until he is.

    All of a sudden, Izuku has a real dad (who's a hero!!), a brother who would die (and probably kill) for him, and a rag tag group of friends (and maybe someone more) and life doesn't look so bleak.

    It's a shame life was never the issue.

    Summary

    All for One stole Quirks because he was greedy for their power. Izuku could borrow them to save others. It was the intention that made the difference.

    Summary


    Shouta Aizawa thinks there’s something off about Midoriya Izuku. He’s been thinking that since he saw the boy in his classroom, hunched over a seat, making himself as small as possible. Elbows tucked in close, calloused knuckles, and darting eyes.

    A crooked nose, the kind of odd, subtle little twist that gives the boy’s large green eyes a quirky flare. The kind of nose that was broken one too many times and hadn’t been set properly often enough.

    That was not the behavior of someone with a ridiculously overpowered Quirk. That was especially not the behavior he’d seen during the exam footage, the footage of a green-haired teenager who was flashy and open and seemed to radiate power.

    Illogical.

    --

    Or: Midoriya gets into vigilantism a little too early, with a Quirk more like his uncle's than his father's, and, frankly, half the time he's just along for the ride.

    Summary

    What happens to a child who’s been abandoned by society?

    The child learns.

    ...

    No one would have thought that treating a child as nothing would help them grow into the very thing they were themselves - the very thing they were afraid of.

    No. No one expected a monster to be born.

    Summary

    The feeling of emptiness reminded him of before. Izuku never knew how full he had felt until this moment. When, standing there, stripped bare of what had made him useful, what had given him a chance, was taken from him.

    In an instant.

    It happened so fast he barely had a chance to breathe. And when he opened his eyes again, Izuku was no longer standing outside with all the others in the UA fields. His classmate’s curious faces were replaced by all of the people who use to torment him at Aldera. Kacchan was still there of course, looming in the background, but the other bullies were front and center, watching him with disgusted sneers.

    When Aizawa erases Izuku's quirk during the ball throw, he does it to keep the problem child from breaking any more bones. What he doesn't know is that he accidentally causes the boy to remember his quirkless trauma. Now he and Izuku must deal with the fallout.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been a bit strange.

    Anyone will tell you that he's a ray of sunshine, and fun to be around-- but they might also tell you not to feel bad if he seems to suddenly look through you with his unsettlingly pale eyes, or to refrain from asking about his family, or his Quirk. He'll always be at the Viridian Cafe, serving pastries and smiles, in the warm atmosphere of fresh-brewed coffee and cats running amok. But you may also find him elsewhere-- observing heroes' fights, or heading somewhere with a flower bouquet.

    Indeed, Midoriya Izuku is a bit of a mystery, but as long as you respect the cafe and don't try to pry, the Viridian will open its doors for you, too.

    (The story of approximately eighty billion different futures and the one boy who can see them all.)

    Summary

    “Imagine what Deku-kun could do with those notebooks,” she giggles, brightly. “He literally has everything about anything on there.”

    Mirthfully, Sero adds, “Damn, he really could fuck us over.”

    It’s a jab, a joke. Class 1-A’s sunshine embodied would never hurt any of them.

    It’s a fucking joke.

    But…but…but…

    Summary

    Izuku is tired of being beaten down by his father, even if he'll become a hero no matter what. He would never wish anything like that on anyone else, so when he finds a little girl by the name of Eri running from her abuser, he acts faster then ever.

    And now these Pros want to send her back?

    Hah. Funny.

    Summary

    Izuku gets caught up in a villain fight before school, because what else would he do? And he deals with it, even manages to get to homeroom on time, but of course a civilian's Quirk affected him and now the person that has hurt him most is stood in front of him and he can do nothing but blurt out his buried feelings.

    Aizawa knows that Midoriya is a Problem Child, and it's honestly somewhere between endearing, concerning and frustrating. And for all the tension that there could be in this class at times, he wasn't expecting truths like these to come to light, but he doesn't even surprise himself when he goes into Dad Mode over them. Midoriya deserves a little more love after all.
