    Summary

    Illogical? Maybe. But since when did reincarnation make sense? A better question; of all the nations in this godforsaken world, why the hell was I reborn in Iwagakure no freakin’ Sato? And right in time for the Third Shinobi War? Seems like I have two options. Become Iwa’s answer to the Yellow Flash, or pray for a second reincarnation. At least I have the power of the Gamer on my side…wait. I don't? GOD DA— [OC, Subversion of the Gamer Trope]

    Summary

    Izuku learned at a very young age that love is conditional. Love is a reward for following the rules, love is reserved for those who are worthy of it, for those who are loveable.
    Izuku was not loveable, well at least not according to anyone he'd ever met.
    All he ever wanted to do was help people, to be someone worthy of loving but at 12 years old he's left with nothing and no one. Living on the streets he has to make his own way in life and maybe help some of the people in this community he's found himself in.
    Follow his journey as Izuku skirts the line of the law saving people and maybe even finding someone who thinks he's worth loving.

    ⚠️On a little bit of a break as of 1/8/2025⚠️
    I plan to be back soon, I'm still writing, I just need to pad out my backlog!

    Summary

    If they wouldn’t give him a chance then the solution seemed simple, he’d give himself one. He’d force the world to see him, force them to recognize his hard work. He wasn’t missing a quirk, it was simply that everyone else had been given an advantage. He wasn’t broken, or useless, or incapable, and he’d prove it by outrunning all of them, he who was quirkless, he who had started in last.

    [UA rejects Midoriya from the hero course and he finds salvation in vigilantism.]

    Summary

    United against anarchy, the Hero Public Safety Commission monitors the interplay between heroes and civilians. If something goes awry, or if people begin to feel discontent, they step in to resolve the issue. Placation is their tool; information their weapon.

    But when a scientific breakthrough coincides with the realization that they, and all their work, may soon fall into obscurity, it's all too tempting to resume a practice that’s been forbidden since the early days of their organization. Quirk experimentation.

    What follows is the creation of the first man-made sentient quirk.

    When that quirk breaks free and finds Midoriya Izuku, the two of them must navigate UA while knowing the HPSC is watching their every move. That at any moment, Izuku’s hero career could be swiped out from under him, and his friend taken from him.

    With his quirk as his only bargaining chip, and his gritty determination as his best tool, Izuku will fight to ensure no other living quirk is detained and tormented.

    If that entails toppling a government organization, then so be it.
