Summary
Be careful of where you leave your reading material, you might give the wrong idea.
UA has a traitor, and there's no idea who it could be, even after all this time. But one misplaced notebook from a certain quirkless student suddenly makes everything make sense. After all, how could a someone without power make it to a position to become the best, unless he had help from somewhere else? Somewhere that could make him look like a hero, while causing havoc and mayhem with his help?
Midoriya Izuku is a traitor, and he must be stopped. At least that's what they think.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku didn't change overnight. The process was slow and gradual, the end result of a life filled with rejections and roadblocks: All Might's refusal to train him, the daily torment of his friends and teachers, the crushing weight of society's collective dismissal of his existence. Not even life as a student in U.A.'s General Studies course could dampen his ambition- but everyone has a breaking point. Destruction brings renewal, and with the death of his old dream, Izuku has gained a new one- one he intends to share with all of Japan.
All orderly systems descend into chaos. No one is immune to entropy, heroes least of all.

Summary
Your name is Eiden and you are 10 years old when you get into your first fight.
There is blood running down your face from a cut above your brow and it stings painfully from the sweat that wells upon your skin. It hurts. It hurts more than you ever have thought it would. But the soft crunch beneath your knuckles as you punch the boy in front of you makes the pain slip from your shoulders as it is replaced with a sickening type of thrill.
He wails and falls away from you, clutching his broken nose as blood spurts between his fingers.

Summary
For Freminet, taking the brunt of what he thought was an acid attack aimed towards Spina di Rosula's boss was nothing more than a split second decision. He wouldn't call himself a hero by any stretch of the imagination, and he wouldn't say he led his life with noble and virtuous intentions either...
...but when the urge to help someone comes to him, he ponders little over it. That's just what a good person would do, and Freminet desperately wants to be a good.
(Still, maybe he should have paid more attention to just what was being splashed.)
OR
Freminet dissolves into water. That really should have been the end of it, but it seems like the ocean wasn't keen on letting him go yet.

ABSOLUTE LITERATURE, THE STORY’S 100K WORDS LONG AND WE HAVEN’T EVEN REACHED THE MAIN PART WHERE FREMINET TURNS INTO WATER BUT IT’S SOOOOOO GOOD. I GOTTA SEE WHERE THIS GOES MAN EVEN THOUGH IT’LL PROBABLY BE LIKE AT LEAST 3 CHAPTERS BEFORE WE REACH GAME PLOT

This fanfic is absolutely brilliant in depicting the life of quirkless people. It’s really a shame that the manga didn’t expand on quirkless people

Summary
It's been almost ten years since Izuku Midoriya led the Quirkless Revolution. Instead of leading the Japanese branch of Q Society, he now leads a quirkless nation, the Antarctic Republic, into a new golden age. He is also getting married soon to his confidant and the love of his life, Melissa Shield.
Meanwhile, it's been almost ten years since Pro Hero Ground Zero last saw the quirkless child he used to bully. Instead of just anger, Katsuki feels regret and wishes to make amends with the youngest political leader in the world. Well, he gets that chance when the new Japanese Ambassador to Antarctica needs a few Pro Heroes to escort him.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is a wonder to read, especially with the frankly orgasmic latest chapter. God is the rage beautiful to read, it doesn’t feel cringey, it feels deserved to unleash this much rage
