Summary
Things have been good for so long that Izuku should have expected someone to take his quirk less than well. That someone being All Might hurts more than he's prepared for.

Summary
The Sludge Villain doesn't find Bakugo after escaping All Might, but some other random civilian. There's no series of explosions to draw All Might to the scene of the second attack. It's by pure luck that Izuku stumbles upon them. And Izuku does what he always has when he sees one person hurting another: inserts himself between the aggressor and victim. He finds this is significantly harder to do when one of the parties is a sentient slime.

Summary
The chance of a child born to two quirked parents having no quirk at all is smaller than most believe. In fact, it's near impossible. But Hisashi Midoriya didn't always have a quirk. It's a closely guarded secret, as is the identity of the man who gave him his fire-breathing.
Hisashi tries his best to keep Inko and Izuku out of the trouble that seems to follow him. It finds them despite his efforts. Now he must take care of Izuku on his own...or enlist help in seeing his son gets to chase his dream. His son wants to be a hero, and no one's ever heard of a quirkless hero.
The world isn't always as black and white as it appears, and sometimes the labels of hero and villain blur. With his father's friends being far from the ivory end of the spectrum and his own childhood, Izuku knows that society is anything but perfect. The question is, how far is he willing to go to save those that need it?

Summary
"One man's trash is another man's treasure."
The phrase, like most things from before, was largely forgotten. All for One, however, had a fondness for old, forgotten things.
He usually applied the saying to quirks, but when The Doctor's newest subject turned out to have been thrown away by All Might? Well, All for One didn't mind applying it to a person. He had a use for the boy already, but he certainly wouldn't pass up the opportunity to show All Might exactly what he thoughtlessly discarded.

Better Halves (and other such falsehoods) by Astereae

Summary
Danny’s looking at him like he’s crazy. His hair’s dried up into a mess of waves, and there’s some tomato seeds on the corner of his mouth. “You just bailed me out of jail. And you think this is a good idea?”
“I don’t have bad ideas, Fenton. And like you’ve just said, I have collateral on you.”
“So you’re blackmailing me into pretending to date you?”
Tim shrugs. “Or you could just sign the NDA.”
OR
Danny's trying to recover all the shards to an entity's chalice so that it'll stop destroying the zone while tensions rise amongst his subjects- and trying to finish high school.
Tim's juggling his case load, his work as CEO, and does not have time to be embroiled in a sex scandal right now. If that means he has to pretend to date a very suspicious heir to a rival company, then so be it.
It's a mutually beneficial relationship. So what if Tim's becoming a little too intrigued by the illusive, powerful Phantom? So what if Danny can't stand the Justice League for leaving him to deal with all of Amity's problems when he was just 14? That's a superhero thing.
And their fake boyfriend has no clue that they're a superhero.

Summary
Danny and Tim have known each other for a year, have been dating for months, and are very happy. Sure, Tim would prefer if his boyfriend let him help him at least get a nicer apartment, or even an internship at WE but Danny won't let him. Dating Tim is not keeping his head down but as far as everyone knows, Danny Fenton died with his parents and sister. Danny Nightingale has no links to him, thanks to Tucker and Technus' magic.
But there are still those who would love nothing more than to get their hands on Phantom, despite his not having been seen in a long time.
And why is there a vigilante bleeding out on his apartment floor?

Summary
For What Binds Us || By Jane Hirshfield
There are names for what binds us:
strong forces, weak forces.
Look around, you can see them:
the skin that forms in a half-empty cup,
nails rusting into the places they join,
joints dovetailed on their own weight.
The way things stay so solidly
wherever they've been set down—
and gravity, scientists say, is weak.And see how the flesh grows back
across a wound, with a great vehemence,
more strong
than the simple, untested surface before.
There's a name for it on horses,
when it comes back darker and raised: proud flesh,as all flesh,
is proud of its wounds, wears them
as honors given out after battle,
small triumphs pinned to the chest—And when two people have loved each other
see how it is like a
scar between their bodies,
stronger, darker, and proud;
how the black cord makes of them a single fabric
that nothing can tear or mend.- Words:
