Maybe there was always only Sukuna.

Summary
It takes less than three rings for the line to click through, “Shiu.”
Toji chuckles a little, “Long time no see, Kong.” Shiu’s voice is rougher, older, more tired than Toji has ever heard it, but that is to be expected. It’s still alarming to hear, and Toji almost doesn’t want to see him in person, afraid to see more people he knows not as he knew them.
It’s jarring for Toji, but it’s clearly not as world shattering for Toji as it is for Shiu, a dead man talking, “T—Toji?”
Toji laughs, “Who else?”
There’s a very long pause on the phone, and it it wasn’t for the lack of a dial tone, he’d think Shiu hung up on him, “But you’re—he’s—”
“Dead?” Toji asks, phone cradled to his face as he grins into the receiver, “You took too long to meet me in hell so I had to come find you.”
Or, Gojo doesn't get sealed, Toji lives, Yuki meddles, and eventually everyone comes out better for it.

Summary
Also known as the Condiment Crew, the Sunshine Squad, and the Colorful Crazies, this is an alternate canon where instead of meeting Uraraka and Iida, Midoriya Izuku met Kirishima and Kaminari, and everything changed.
It's gay, crack, and then more gay (with a healthy dash of some science thrown in) in this epic retelling of My Hero Academia where Mido was just a few minutes earlier and met some different people.

A Sawamura Family Affair by corteae

Summary
Sawamuras were all loud in their own right. When they all together, it was always a tumultuous occasion. For a milestone birthday party, family members flock to Miyagi, which happens to be the prefecture of Karasuno Volleyball Club.
Not having seen his cousin Eijun for around 2 years, Daichi invites the younger boy to entertain himself by observing Karasuno's volleyball practice. The pandemonium that ensues is worse, possibly, than any Sawamura family affair.
What neither boy expected, though, was how their relationship this time around would affect the outlooks they have on their teams, their struggles, and their futures.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

Summary
I suck at summaries. Have two excerpts instead sry:
The day Sung Jinwoo had awakened as an E-rank, the soulmark that appeared on the inside of his right wrist had been instantly recognizable.Seven red stars—the world’s number one S-Rank, Liu Zhigang.
~~
Liu Zhigang turns towards the crowd and for a moment it seems as if he’s looking right at Jinwoo. A pang of longing goes through his chest and a jumble of wistful thoughts flit through his head—he wishes he could meet and talk to his soulmate one-on-one, wishes that he had a chance to get to know him. They’re no more than fleeting fancies, but one of his shadow soldiers responds to them with a faint “my liege” whispered in his ear.Igris?
Before he realizes what’s happening, the knight darts out to slip into Liu Zhigang’s shadow as he passes by.
