Summary
Sparrow is a name known to many and a face known to none, and Midoriya Izuku wants to keep it that way. After a forcible encounter with reality and the idea that yeah, maybe you shouldn’t meet your heroes, he spends his nights hunched over a screen, giving information and analyses to anyone willing to compensate him. Of course, he's not helping villains get away with murder, he's not evil, but it's not like he's shying away from those with unsavory morals either. He's neutral. Grey. He likes it like that.
Enter a crazy inventor with a new dream on a stainless steel platter.
Or: A story of friendship, science, birds, and taking your life into your own hands.

Summary
He heard it every time he looked that dumbass in the face. He heard it every time he gazed at the horizon. He heard it every time he shook sand out of his hair. He heard it loudest when he had the misfortune of looking at a mirror. It was everywhere, always, permeating every monstrous cell, every unnatural molecule, every unstable atom in his being. It filled his head and echoed off the cliffs and ruins of this hell-forsaken desert.
Or: "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from the Lord." Jeremiah 17:5

Summary
January is arguably one of the worst months, in Izuku's personal opinion. It's so cold, and any sort of precipitation is just such an inconvenience. Not to mention the fact that everyone's already had to deal with months of cold, and spring finally coming and releasing the world from winter's icy grip is a long way away.
Overall, January just sucks. Izuku will stand by that. He's been lucky so far this month, though - just some rain, no annoying snow that covers the streets and makes getting anywhere an actual nightmare. Mei's of the opinion that the winter is the best season (apparently cold is good for batteries and electronics and stuff - all Izuku knows is that he always needs to crank up his hot plate and that his reactions are still slower.)
And then, of course, right as he was starting to get comfortable in this hell month, there's a blizzard.
Or: Izuku and Mei get snowed in for 13 hours. Shenanigans, antics, and overall tomfoolery ensue.

A Little Birdie Told Me... (OLD VERSION) by MintyCrystal

Summary
To anyone who met Izuku Midoriya in public, he was an anxious but ambitious child who has an unattainable dream.
But to the people in the shadows, the misfits and outcasts, the people who toe the thin grey line between the two worlds that society has made, he’s Sparrow, a vicious informant who will give you all the deepest details on whoever you pay him to get information on. He tracks down criminals and scares them into the hands of the law, yet turns around and gives information to someone who has commited multiple felonies in the past week.
Shota Aizawa has mixed feelings about the bird: He’s put away the most elusive criminals, solved cases the entire prefecture was stuck on, but gave away secrets, secrets that most heroes swore on their careers (read: lives) would never escape the walls of a meeting room. Also, the little bastard is too snarky for his liking.
And yet as the bird flies, a flock follows.
Or: Another fic where Izu is a snarky informant, but this time, he’s bird themed.

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.

Summary
The first over-night trip off campus since the training camp was supposed to be a fun break from more intense work back home. But between a bleak introduction to chaos theory, a chilly reception from the locals, and the looming threat of a villain attack, Izuku has too much on his mind to properly enjoy the fresh air. But those worries are a light breeze compared to the hurricane that accompanies what he finds on the outskirts of town.
Or rather, what finds him.
[If you see this fic anywhere that isn’t the official AO3 website, it’s stolen.]

Summary
Whumptober Prompts: Disorientation, Concussion, Hypothermia, Carrying, Secondary Drowning
An off-campus trip to a training facility for cold-weather rescues leads to a villain attack that causes Midoriya to need some rescuing of his own.
~Or~
Aizawa should really consider not letting his kids off campus at all. It never goes well. He has enough nightmares about their past excursions gone-wrong. And dragging a half-frozen kid out of a frozen lake is definitely something that will haunt him forever.

Summary
“How old are you, comrade?” the man asks, instead of answering him.
“Nineteen, sir,” Dmitry answers dutifully. The man has a gun at his hip and a temper. Better not provoke him if he doesn’t want to end up with a bullet between the eyes.
“I take it you didn’t fight during the Great War.”
“I was locked at Tsarskoye Selo with all the other servants before I was of age,” he replies with what can only described as a mocking smirk. Then, after a pause, “sir.”(Dmitry is the kitchen boy in exil with the Romanovs. That's only the beginning of his story, if the end of theirs.)
