    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya n'a pas eu la chance de pouvoir sauver Bakugou du Gluant et d'impressionner All Might. Son rêve brisé, Izuku est rempli d'amertume et de colère et la discrimination dont il est toujours victime ne l'aide pas.
    Tout ce qu'il a toujours voulu, c'est être reconnu, alors quand ce sont des vilains qui reconnaissent ses talents plutôt que des héros, Izuku ne peut pas résister. Autant aider ceux qui veulent vraiment de lui.
    La société a commis des erreurs et doit maintenant faire face au vilain qu'elle a elle-même créé : Mastermind.

    Summary

    Izuku has plans for everything.

    He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

    For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

    Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

    (Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

    --------------------

    Its spectacular. Media authentically represented if twitter and reddit had existing versions at this time. Toshinori builts a meaningful and beautiful relationship with Inko and Izuku. Urataka, Todoroki and Iida are much more present here, and they matter, they have a meaningful pull on Izuku and they are honest, warm and thoughtful towards each other. One of the best character spotlight and development of Iida during the House attack. Friendship meaningfully depicted. Deku as a prodigy while still not invincible. I love his maturity and his incredible cheerfulness and perseverance despite everything. I love Urataka and Into being more fierce in this story. I like how they have meaningful presence.
    The terrifying teamwork they show during the USJ incident is a delight I rarely get to see (because I like vigilante Izuku and that usually means some loneliness).

    Now the huge UNIQUE highlights :
    Toshinori relationship with Izuku as All Might and Toshi, beautiful, wholesome, deeply satisfying especially in the last chapter where Izuku says that for him a happy ending is getting to geek more about hero news. It makes me feel as warm as the author described them in the moment. Beautiful way to the conclusion of the story.

    Another huge one, when they are in the hospital, Iida, Urataka, Todoroki and Izuku in the same room, exchanging between themselves, happy to be alive, happy they made it, exchanging how they feel, focusing on what matters. It's so good, so, so, so good. Iida and Izuku's last conversation here (Iida's insecure small smile breaks me a bit tho) Toshi and Into nearby...wow, its almost a few hundred words and yet its bliss, bliss.

    Another one, when Izuku makes his speech while protecting civilians from the Nomu, stunning Stain with his conviction (completing the Stain arc ugh what a writer), his story and his quirk reacting through his own emotion. Provoking 'a social revolution' by the way he call out the Hero Commission and the quirk discrimination. It's a deep satisfaction because after meeting Hawks, Miruko and Hoshi (!)

    Talking about these three, their presence in the story is WONDERFUL, they each had a short time with Izuku and yet what we and Izuku learn with them? WOW. The author did some terrific world building through ht presence of these characters alone!!! Their presence is what also proposes Deku to understand and better direct his mindset, his goals about changing hero society. These 3 felt like arguments in a huge essay concerning hero society change though their own experiences with the commission, hero agency inner politics and vigilante work.

    ALSO, word about the way MEDIA is portrayed? Shallow, stupid, hysteric, biased, objective, truthful, interesting, I wanted to burn some of the people commenting, and the author express that frustration through Izuku snapping at some point at All Might and then, he EXPLAINS, and BABYYYY, WOAHHHH I WAS BLOWN AWAY. Blown away. just 5 words to resume what I learned. "Good people doing good work" and the example of that lone brave reporter. PERSPECTIVE. That was amazing short moral dissertation. Then the author takes it back near the end in his speech when he says that

    "the media might tear me apart tomorrow. But I will defend their right to do it to the death."

    When he said that? I finally understood the HEART of a hero. I understood it more.True selflessness. After the horrible which with the media treated him, the shallowness, the madness, and hysterics of it. This line made me understand much more about a hero. (the prime minister hailing him as a hero lol ok they in hot water, better join the deserving praising wave because this speech made the public hail him HARD)

    "Good people doing good work" what a way to expand on the greatness of this quote with this story.

    Another amazing part : His interactions with Hiro, Monoma, when Iida, Todoroki and Urataka opened their hearts to him. Talking about their vulnerabilities.

    This part that almost makes me cry : 2 times when Izuku talked about how he feels about his friends.
    He describes the light hitting them, like stars in a infinite sky, as if he had convince living stars, trick them to pass a short blissful time by his side.
    When he said that, I understood him so deeply, I felt like I had chills...I need to transcribe the quote...I felt this part in my bones. (I transcribe in my digital notebook)

    The second time was when he answers the reporters, protected, with his own word, when he realized finally that he is and was always IMPORTANT (and it is written that he wished he could have said that to his younger self omg I felt a ache)
    That he is worth it, that usefulness doesn't determine value. The Symbol of ()
    Xylophones, thank you.

    Summary

    Nedzu isn't fond of many humans, but he was rather fond of strategy games, one of which led him to meet a rather curious and interesting human with the username of "Greenbean." He found himself looking forward to their games, until one day, he got a shocking realization that Green was not only a child, but a bullied one, and suddenly he had someone to protect.

    And if he taught the child how to take over the world in the process, well, he was Nedzu, after all.

    This story is a cute, crack taken seriously, light hearted, joy filled fic.
    Its adoption of all children who were done wrongly that we know well in the cast, of cute game between Nedzu and a young Izuku which we are often reminded of in a fun and light hearted way- is really scarily resourceful and intelligent for his age.

    Its mostly all fun, light hearted and adorable. Better not to take the probability and realism of certain things going way too easily seriously to really enjoy this very cute story.
    Fav arc is when they start finding each other. Less favourite arc is the board games (even if I had nostalgia with The Princess card game I used to play omg)

    Great highlights

    Reunion of the stray kids
    Urataka has fire and presence and a cute liking to Himiko
    ***Quirk discrimination - essay on chapter 15*** - really well done, clear, straightforwards and the best holistic way to see a social issue as such
    Reunion of Todorokis

    Summary

    “You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature” - The Song of Achilles

    Hadrian is a spear- there's no denying it. He is sharp, he hurts those around him (near or far, it doesn’t much matter) and most of all, he stabs the feet that mistake him for a stick.

    Against the clock, Hadrian must learn the difference between living and surviving, love and hate; sacrifice and surrender.

    How does a boy reared for war and forged in hate learn to love?

    I remember once reading the resume and feeling like it's soon cliche

    Chapter 49 is still at rhetorical bogart.....from what the comments say
