Summary
All For One is dead, but that doesn’t mean he lost.
The world is destroyed at his feet, almost everyone in the rebellion is dead, and Hitoshi has given up. That is, until Shimura Tenko tells him that All For One gave him a quirk that would allow one of them to travel through time. Hitoshi’s the only one not on death’s door, so he takes it, and sets out to defeat the supervillain before he has the chance to kill them all.
Except it’s not that easy. All For One can see his movements, predict his plans, and Hitoshi quickly becomes desperate for something- anything to work. He keeps trying until he’s left with a single option, something drastic, something terrifying.
But it’s the only shot he has. It’s the only shot his family has, and he won’t let them down. He can’t.
Even if it kills him.

Summary
When Midoriya Izuku first gets his quirk, it mutilates him, burning him so severely the nerve damage will carry through for the rest of his life.
That is not what he is worried about when it first manifests. No, even at age four, Izuku knew that when his father found out about his quirk, it would spell disaster for the rest of his life. But no one listened to him, a toddler, when they could instead turn to his wealthy and influential father and buy into his lies.
So Izuku burns. He burns, and he burns, and he burns.
But all matches eventually turn to ash, and all candles eventually run out of wax, and all fire everywhere, eventually, extinguishes.
Izuku cannot burn forever, but maybe there are people who can help him before his wick runs out.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku, Shinsou Hitoshi, and Todoroki Shouto are three kids who want nothing more than to be heroes.
They also share a soulmate bond, and with it, each other’s pain. Fighting through abuse to become something more than what they are, the three of them learn to turn something that threatened to consume them into something beautiful, something they can use to save others.
~
(The three of them would keep talking that night, about quirks, or the lack thereof for one of them, and heroes, and how some of them are just monsters putting on a show for the public. The next day they would get up, and Hitoshi would feel the burn of Endeavor’s fire and Bakugou’s explosion and instead of shouldering through with a blank face and indifferent mask, he’d press gentle fingertips to the phantom wounds and push down until the faintest pressure slipped through the bond.Hitoshi and his soulmates still burned, but it didn’t seem so bad when they were burning together.)

Summary
Shigaraki kidnaps two people at the training camp in this universe instead of one. Midoriya Izuku, for his possession of One For All, and Shinsou Hitoshi, for the potential of his quirk for villany.
And this time they’re much more careful. This time, when the heroes break down the door to a bar in the alleyways of Kamino Ward, there is no one there to catch. This time, when the heroes follow the tracker to a warehouse half a district away, there is no All For One to stop.
It doesn’t take long for Midoriya and Shinsou to realize they can only rely on each other, and it doesn’t take long for them to realize that even that might not be enough.
As it gets harder and harder just to survive, the boys fight to hold onto themselves. But they’re just kids, and they can’t hold on forever.
Hopefully they don’t need to.

Summary
“So we’ll just blurt out random things?” Mina asked. “Like the fact that I can’t eat sandwiches not cut down the middle?”
Snickers rose from the class as she turned a bright red.
Aizawa sighed. “Not exactly. The quirk is a weird mix between a truth quirk and a prone to suggestion quirk, thanks to the boy's parents. It means you’ll be under the effects of a normal truth quirk, but you also won’t have the ability to keep yourselves from oversharing.”
“So we’ll all be spouting fucking word vomit like Deku?!”
“Yes, Bakugou. Fucking word vomit.”

Or
Class 1-A is hit by a very powerful truth quirk, and lots of things come out. Some things are quite harmless - quite the opposite, really - others are quite funny, and some open wounds that never really healed.

Summary
Aizawa Shouta arrives at the crime scene and the first thing he sees is Officer Tamakawa Sansa puking up his guts on the other side of his squad car. That’s attractive.
-
Aizawa Shouta is tasked with finding and arresting the Shie Hassaikai killer. If he’s going to do it, however, he’s going to need information, something that seems to be in short supply for this particular case.
Fortunately for him, there’s a new face in the underground info business - well, a new face in the sense that somebody’s been supplying good info to both sides. Tentatively given the name ‘Harbinger’, this broker supposedly knows more than the internet.
Unfortunately for him, Harbinger doesn’t seem to want to help him out. Go figure. More work for him.

When Eraserhead is assigned to the newest vigilante case, his nights get a lot busier. Chasing the one leaving notes signed C. Clover all over multiple cities is getting old fast. When he finally catches them, will he expose something far worse hiding under the surface?
