Summary
Kintsugi: The Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It represents the idea that broken doesn't mean unfixable. That even something shattered can be made into a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.
Izuku knows that life will always be unfair to people like him. He knows that he can't bring his mother back from the dead or make his father love him. He knows he's destined for a life of loneliness and pain. Knows that his goal to be a quirkless hero is nearly impossible.
Izuku knows that he's broken.
But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
Will Izuku let them?Series

Summary
Izuku learned that his mother was a liar at four. Monsters did exist. And he was living with one. Did that make him a monster too?
Tenko thought it was a villain at first. Some small, secret part of him hoped it would get his father. It was a villain. Just not the one he expected. And he was so, so angry. It wasn’t fair.
All Might threw himself forward as a blackish purple portal writhed, closing around two children. Not fast enough. He was barely able to pluck one of the two, pulling a white haired boy no older than eight into his arms as the portal snapped shut, only just giving him a glimpse of fluffy green hair before it was gone, cutting off the panicked cry of “stay with me!”
Villains did not have time to mourn the heroes they wished to become. He wasn’t a child anymore. Izuku had work to do.

Summary
All For One has lived over 200 years. He has tried taking back his Quirk for eight generations. Battling the holders of One For All to the death hasn’t worked once. Maybe it’s time to try another strategy.
All Might is terribly injured. He will have to pass the Quirk down soon. Keeping an eye on the man isn’t as hard as the Hero wants it to be, and finding out who he chose as a successor was even easier. All All For One needed to do was wait, when the Quirk of out of All Might’s hands, taking shelter in a kid straight out of middle school. Getting the quirk from an inexperienced child would be a much better plan than hunting down trained Pro Heroes with practice using One For All.
On the day he received One For All, Izuku Midoriya never made it to the UA entrance exams.

Summary
Some AU I came up with:
Aizawa rescued Izuku from the league of villains and takes care of the child for now. Izuku has two quirks in this AU, one natural - Forced Quirk Activation - and one that AFO 'gifted' him with - Self-Heal. He has a pretty big handprint-scar on his face and started as a problem child, scared and wary of people. But Aizawa managed to help him slowly heal.This AU is just some silly little thing I came up in my freetime and like to add to it as I go, so I don't have a plan at all. Mostly I write for fun so I hope you might enjoy this as well :D
This is a wild collection of chapters, drabbles and short snipplets of Aizawas and Izukus life together :D With some art if I feel like it! :D I'm trying to order the chapters in some kind of consistent timeline.
Also, this is the first time I actually post stuff here so I'm still figuring everything out - sorry! (To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing...

Summary
Two and a half years ago Izuku committed suicide. His body was never recovered but the bridge he jumped from was high and the river deep enough that police figured it had been washed away in the time it took for anyone to realize he was missing.
That's what Katsuki had been told.
Except none of that can be true since Izuku just burst into the dank, musty, bar that the League of Villains is holding him in.

The one where Izuku let everyone believe he was dead for almost three years before the LOV Kidnapped Bakugou Katsuki and he's forced to face his past. He's captured by UA and forced to play babysitter to 20 chaotic teenagers while figuring out his own place.
