Best Adoption Fics
Multifandom collection of my favorite fics with adoption (emotional or legal), fostering, or found family as a main theme or plot point. I play fast and loose with the definition of "adoption".

Summary
From a young age, Izuku had to hide his quirk. At first, he did it because his dad asked him to, because it was something special that he shared with him. It wasn't too long before he started hiding it in shame. When he finally meets his idol, All Might, Izuku decides he can't live like that anymore. He has to take down his villainous father, All for One, no matter how much it hurts.
Basically, I looked at some fan theories about Dr Tsubasa, All for One, and Izuku and then decided, 'Hey, I want to make a fic!"
The first arc is finished! And it can be read as a standalone fic. But why do that when there's more?

Summary
One moment, Jason was peacefully sleeping, perfectly content with his life with the League of Assassins. Okay, so maybe not content content, but he wasn't unhappy, either. Then Talia woke him up at 2 am, threw three children at him, and told him to get them to America and far away from Ra's al Ghul.
What the fuck.
The last thing he wanted was to see Bruce. But with three brats relying on him and no Talia, there weren't many options for sanctuary. He just didn't expect the kids to grow on him so much in two short weeks.

Summary
Adjusting to having a toddler in the house with them isn't as hard as Shōta and Hizashi had expected it to be.
They've adjusted, but that doesn't mean everyone in the family has. The cat isn't... quite onboard with the new addition, but Shōta is prepared for baby steps when it comes to their son and their cat adjusting. Thankfully, it seems Izuku likes the cat when he meets her, and the cat is tolerant to the toddler to a degree as well. They're off to a great start! That is... until until the toddler suddenly comes down with a case of the sniffles.
Hopefully the sniffles the boy comes down with aren't anything too bad, right?
Of course, things can’t be too easy for the new dads, now can it?
