    Summary

    Life is hard when you’re a street kid. It’s even harder when you’re also deaf. Though, Jason guesses that he’s not technically a street kid anymore, not since he’s made that mistake of jacking some billionaire’s tires and got himself kidnapped.

    The man... Bruce, doesn’t seem to want to hurt him, though. He feeds Jason and goes out of his way to communicate with him. He even offered to teach Jason sign language.

    There’s a price to pay, he’s sure of it, but Bruce remains as kind and nice as always.

    Maybe he really is safe?

    Summary

    Jason Todd was twelve years old when he was diagnosed.

    Dick Grayson has spent the better part of the past ten years cleaning up his brother's mess. He always does it with a smile, held back tears and guilt that was eating him alive.

     

    (I'm bad at summaries. Jason had bipolar. That's it. That's the fic)

    Summary

    Izuku's quirk is simple, it tells him exactly what he needs to do.
    It tells him to grab an umbrella and that afternoon it rains unexpectedly. It tells him to bring cash and it turns out the card reader is out of order.
    His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
    Well, why not?

    Does the name All for One mean anything to Izuku? Nope.
    Will he tear down the empire of a powerful villain who has been terrorizing Japan for over a century anyway? Sure.

    Summary

    Crimson Chains: The Cursed Blood of Izuku Midoriya

    Izuku Midoriya stopped caring a long time ago.

    Raised by Hisashi and Inko Midoriya, two of the most feared Yakuza operatives, he learned early that trust was worthless and survival meant obedience. Used as bait, a distraction, and a tool for their crimes, he never had a choice—until his parents failed a mission, got caught, and left him to take the fall. The Yakuza put a hit out on him, and the heroes who caught him saw nothing but a criminal in the making.

    Instead of prison, they threw him into U.A.’s Criminal Rehabilitation Program, forcing him to “reform” among the same heroes he despised. But Izuku has no interest in proving himself—what’s the point? He’s not a hero, and he never will be.

    He keeps his head down, follows orders just enough to avoid trouble, and waits for it all to blow over. But when whispers of the Crimson Chains—the last remnants of the Yakuza—reach his ears, and Hisashi Midoriya himself resurfaces, things get complicated.

    Hisashi wants him back. The heroes want to fix him. Izuku just wants to be left alone.

    But in a world that won’t stop pulling him in different directions, apathy might not be an option anymore.

    Summary

    “Don’t you dare tell me I don't know my own son’s face.” Familiar rage seethes at the base of his lungs. “Don’t you dare. Don’t you ever. I knew it against all reason. I knew it when it was impossible for it to be in front of me. I knew it faked and warped and desecrated and delusional and spitting mad. I knew it when it killed me to know it, to believe it to be true—”

    “Describe it,” Dick challenges.

    “I knew his face three years dead beneath a domino. I knew it as he carved a chunk of flesh from his own scalp and cursed my name…” His fingertips drift to a spot two inches behind his ear. Is that uneven texture the sign of a years-old scar, or just a tangle of hair?

    (Or: Jason and Bruce get bodyswapped. It takes two full days for anyone to point it out to them.)
