    Summary

    Born with a rare and dangerous quirk—Memorywalk, the ability to view and alter memories—Izuku Midoriya is abandoned by his mother at the age of 10, feared even by those closest to him. He's taken in by Shouta Aizawa, a pro hero who sees not a threat, but potential. Raised under the strict but quiet guidance of Eraserhead, Izuku enters U.A. not through luck or inherited power, but through grit, strategy, and a mind that knows how to understand heroes better than anyone.

    But not everyone trusts someone who can change the past.

    Summary

    All Might went into an orphanage for a charity event and came out with a new lease on life and an adorable-- if not slightly traumatized-- son.

    Izuku is a boy with open eyes and a kindness that stretches miles and miles deep. He knows more than any ten year old should, and Toshinori is aware of this. He's been aware of this since the moment he crouched down in front of the boy and let him press their palms together. Now Toshinori is impossibly smitten and determined to heal Izuku the same way he helped heal him, no matter what challenges jump in the way. He'll protect and build him up no matter what. For his son, nothing is ever too much.

    Of course, he never claimed to think fatherhood to be easy going in. He just... hadn't thought it would make him want to Detroit Smash some cocky brat named 'Kacchan' through a wall either.

    Or: Izuku heals All Might on a whim and gets himself a new, (extremely overprotective) dad in the process.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku can’t catch a break until one is literally forced on him. It’s hardly the break he needs. He’s had a brutal and bleak life up until this point and it’s only getting harder. Izuku had felt alone his entire life up until he meets a blond-haired, ruby-eyed mystery man on the bus.

    A/U no quirks.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku was 5 when his mom died and he went to live with his dad. His dad, Hisashi (better known as the villain All for One, even more widely not known at all), loves him very much. Hisashi/AFO also happens to have very subpar parenting skills.

    The result of these subpar parenting skills, growing up with a slightly deranged brother with a powerful quirk, "adopting" a notorious assassin as his own personal babysitter, and managing it all while quirkless & living in a bar is...surprisingly not as bad as you'd think. Unless your name is Hisashi.

    Unbeknownst to Japan's greatest supervillain, Midoriya Izuku has a Plan. He's always wanted to be a hero, but now he wants more than that. He wants to save Everyone--including the villains. Including his unhinged brother, said unhinged brother's mist-man butler/babysitter, and their dad (the Unseen Horror, Scourge of Japan, Symbol of Evil, etc.)

    Step 1 is to attend UA. Collecting people (villains, heroes, and vigilantes alike) like his dad collects quirks is not technically part of the plan, but it's definitely a bonus.

    Summary

    Eleven months after his accidental involvement in the UA Sports Festival, Midoriya Izuku takes his next step on his hero's journey. Today, he enters UA not as a lost child at the sports festival, or an informal intern after school, but as a true hero student.

    But will his training, his friendships and mentors, and his growing mastery of Stormclad be enough for what's coming?
