    Summary

    Imagine how much grief could have been avoided if the clingiest incarnations of Indra and Ashura had been born at the same time. Even in this AU, they weren't, but Naruto tries to deal with and/or prevent the consequences of Hagoromo's shitty parenting.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku was not made to be special. Not in any particular form, shape, size or function, it seemed. He didn’t need grandiose, didn’t need all the fame and fortune and riches that seemed so commonplace these days. He didn’t need to be all-powerful, all-knowing, a genius, or well known. And Izuku didn’t want to be greedy, or anything, but he would’ve liked to be special. Just a little bit. Not in a particularly self-absorbed way, but he would’ve liked just a little bit of the special that seemed to surround his peers on the daily. Just about everyone around him had so much special while he had… basically nothing. Maybe a couple hundred years ago, back when quirks weren’t a thing, he would have stood out in a crowd with his green curls, been special and unique for once in his life.

    Knowing his luck, though, he probably would’ve ended up burned at the stake for witchcraft instead. That’s how they used to do it, back in the day, he’s pretty sure. With gingers. Green isn’t red but Izuku’s pretty sure it’s different enough to get him set on fire, back in the day.
    Well. He’s getting burned either way.

    Summary

    In a matter of minutes, anyone could tell Midoriya Izuku was a nervous boy. He stuttered endlessly and became flustered as soon as a girl was too close. Truthfully, some people would call him hopeless in the world of romance and lust.

    That is until he takes part in one of Midnight’s simulated undercover missions.

    (Alternatively: Midoriya Izuku learns confidence and uses it against everyone)

    Summary

    Adapting is, perhaps, one of the most difficult things a person could ever do.

    Humans are pattern-seeking creatures, after all. Humans rely on what they know to make sense of a chaotic, uncertain world, oftentimes doubling down on what has served them in order to grasp at whatever control they can get in a world so out of their control.

    If they could, most humans would refuse to adapt at all.

    However, Midoriya Izuku has no choice but to adapt when All Might tells him to be “realistic”.

    No doubt, it is hard. But with some overdue encouragement and support from his mother, Izuku discovers a door previously unknown to him, one that, with some adapting, opens to a possibility that enables him to fulfil his lifelong dream, albeit in a different form.

    And, unwittingly, starting a chain reaction that would have massive repercussions for all of society.

    Summary

    Izuku’s only ever wanted to help people, ever since he was a child. Originally, he wanted to be a hero, but over time, he grew out of that fantasy and moved on to medicine. Having finally gotten his doctorate, he decides to open up a clinic in a place where people most need the help.

    Running a charity clinic for the poor and homeless isn’t glamorous, or nice, or pays well. In fact, it pays very little, just enough to live off of in a tiny apartment in a very bad neighborhood. But he loves it all the same because he’s helping people who truly need it.

    He’s trained for years to be a doctor, but that training doesn’t prepare him for catching the eye of two people most would never want to be seen by. Izuku’s just mainly fed up with having his day interrupted.
