Summary
Izuku, in a shocking moment of clarity, wished he chose mortuary school rather than vigilantism. He scraped the grave dirt off his arms and face, breathing in the night air, and muttered angrily to the empty graves across from him.
(or: candid is what you’d call a vigilante. or a necromancer. eraserhead is kind of like his caregiver.)

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has an immortality quirk, though not in the traditional sense. While most other immortality quirks work by not allowing the owner to age, maybe even giving them extra resilience, Izuku's quirk didn't quite work like that.
No, Izuku's quirk worked by sending his consciousness back into his four year old body upon death. Again and again, no matter when, where or how he died, he always woke up afterwards, his small fist clenched around a bright red crayon that he, until the moment of his resurrection, had been using to draw a picture of All Might on a piece of construction paper.
Tired after living for so long, Izuku goes to Eraserhead for help in ending it all only for the man to strike a deal; to wait until he was eighteen. What better way to kill the time than making sure he leaves the world a better place? Of course, stringing Eraserhead along for the ride and making the man regret his decision not to kill Izuku on the spot is just a bonus...

Summary
No matter how hard he tried, Izuku could never make a difference. A late bloomer, too slow to save his mom, and only able to help after someone had died.
But what else could he do with a Quirk that rewinds time when he dies and lets him see ghosts, when only the dead believed him and he wasn't strong enough to make a difference by himself?
Still, Izuku was determined to help any way he could.When All Might offers him One for All, Izuku thought he could finally have the strength to save others. Even if he had to hide his ghost friends. Even if his old Quirk slowly started to meld with One for All. Even when the past would catch up with him eventually.
Protecting people with a straightforward strength Quirk that didn't require him to die couldn't be that hard, right?
OR
Izuku has a Quirk that rewinds time when he dies and lets him see ghosts. This is his journey of finding a family, overcoming the past, and learning to live with a Quirk that wants him to die.

Summary
"He took a long breath, stripping off his shoes and stepping over the railing.
The wind almost seemed to pick up as he stood on the thin ledge.
“It’s almost romantic“ He thought as he shifted his weight forward.
The wind howled around him as the concrete floor came closer and closer. He closed his eyes a second before impact."What Izuku didn’t plan, was that he would wake back up surrounded in his own blood, entirely unharmed.
(Or, Deku has a quirk where he instead of dying regenerates, and is just generally mentally unwell, trying his best to overcome past trauma, I mean, what other choice does he have if he can't die?)

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has a stockpiling quirk that takes the energy from fresh corpses (lovingly referred to as 'souls') and uses them to boost his natural abilities accordingly. Others call it 'scavenging', or 'grave robbing', but Izuku just calls it recycling.
Of course, it's kind of hard to be a hero when his quirk relies on things Not Being Saved, but that's fine. He'll figure it out.
WARNING: This fic contains a lot of animal death-- death and corpses are very important to the story, and I don't really pull punches with this sort of thing, so if you've got a soft heart for fictional animals, this might not be for you.

Summary
Izuku Midoryia knows two things:
He has a quirk.
He must not tell anyone about his quirk.
He’s decided this on the basis of a few things: How he discovered his quirk, how others would react to his quirk, and what he’s going to do with his quirk. He’s still working out that last one. 14 isn’t the age he should be making life altering decisions… He wishes someone would have told him about that before he decided all of this.
Before he died.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya doesn’t know he had a quirk that rewinds time when he dies. Partially because it doesn’t rewind time for him but those around him and every time he dies a new person is added to the quirk. And not only that but he keeps dying. Now the ever growing list of classmates, heroes and others have to make sure not only does not die but also fix other mistakes as well. All without telling for fear he'll use it whenever something goes bad. Will they be able to handle it? Please R&R.

Summary
Death is many things. Some see it as suffering; others, as an escape. But after everything, it is inevitable– you will live, and you will die. Undeniably.
But what if there was someone unaffected by such fenomena? Would the visage of endless possibilities allow them to reach unbound potential, or would an eternal existence serve only to distance them from their own humanity?
They say a phoenix rises from its ashes– but does it ever wish to stay down?
–
Or, another spin at the idea of a death– or immortality– quirk.

Summary
A spin off/Omakes series of my first fic, "The resurrection hero." It won't make sense if you haven't read parts of it, so I recommend you do that.
This fic will contain bonus scenes as well as scenes from the original. Both will be from Himiko's perspective. It's possible that the main fic will reference events that transpired here, but nothing major so don't feel obligated to read this spin off if you don't want to.
This fic is unlikely to update often since usually, if I want a Himiko scene, I make a Himiko scene. This fic is mostly here for hindsight after receiving feedback that I skipped over some details people wanted to see.
