Summary
"Robin's in trouble. Prepare painkillers and bandages. I've had stitches reopened."
"Excuse me, sir, did you say Robin?"
"Yes, Agent A. He's here with me despite his nocturnal escapades."
A long pause, which made him feel somehow uneasy as if he was the restless teenager who needed to be grounded.
"This is a curious thing, sir."
"Why?"
"For the simple reason that Master Robin is here with me," was the reply. Bruce braked suddenly, a few meters from Bristol, in an area where it was rare for anyone to pass at that hour.
He felt the blood freeze in his veins.
If Robin was at the Manor, then who was in the car with him?

And Eddie, as stated, already cannot breathe. When he does try to breathe, he’s sucking in burning flames. So it takes a minute to register that the nice man who just saved his baby’s life is - - fuck. Of course. Of course, it’s his hot new neighbor.
Or, Eddie is injured. He also has a toddler. His next door neighbor keeps them alive.

“Are you an organ thief?”
Robin made a choking sound.
“An organ thief?” Batman repeated, and now he sounded a little amused.
Tim nodded once, which was a mistake, because the pier rolled unnaturally under his feet.
“Important screening question,” he said.

Sometimes All You Need Is A Cheerleader by Jurodan

Summary
Neither Midoriya Izuku nor Shinsou Hitoshi grew up with friends. Neither of them had anyone trying to push them up. Nobody would dare try to help Shinsou Hitoshi access his villain quirk, and nobody could help the quirkless 'Deku'.
What if these two outcasts had connected? What if they had gone to school together? What if, during a critical moment of Midoriya Izuku's life someone was there to stand up to Bakugo? What if each was the other's cheerleader?

A Wager of Wits by A_Brat_Without_Talent
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
27 Mar 2024
Tags
Summary
In an immensely convoluted way, quirks proved that the greatest power was the human mind. People, before quirks, used to say the greatest power is thought. The human brain, a complicated organ powered by tiny pulses of electricity could beat any idiot with a couple firecrackers popping between their fingers.
When villains, with lightning bolts at their fingertips, could be bested by a hero whose only power was to manipulate fabric, it became increasingly obvious that power lies in how you used your mind.
Unfortunately for Izuku, he challenged the one person- man? Animal? Creature? Creature.- that’s power increased their mind.
But, maybe, just maybe, he could win this wager.
- -
U.A has a rule that prevents Quirkless students from applying.
Izuku, in an attempt to get the rule removed, ends up challenging Principal Nedzu to a wager of wits.

Katsuki grew up with people telling him he was born lucky and powerful. He wished it was a power he could attribute to skill and not luck of birth.That was what Deku had, he had the chance for all his accomplishments to be his; Izuku didn’t have a quirk so everything he had would be earned through hard work.
That didn’t mean Katsuki didn’t work hard, he always did his best but all he was ever told was about his quirk. Never his grades, never his carefully trained reflexes, never his actual hard earned skill. Always his quirk, always his talents.
-
If there was one thing Katsuki and Deku had in common, it was their unwavering determination and unwillingness to back down. Katsuki never ran; Deku always stood up to his fears. And Katsuki couldn’t lie and say that that determination didn’t spur him on.

Shouto looked at him again, this time really looking, and noticed for the first time that the boy was wearing a hooded sweatshirt in All-Might’s colors. He almost wanted to laugh; wouldn’t Father curse at that, seeing an All-Might hoodie in a crowd of people spectating one of his fights.

Teenage Dreams And Other Illogical Things by HopeNight

08 Aug 2024

Summary
Nedzu tasks Aizawa Shouta to investigate some oddities amongst the staff at Aldera Middle School. However, due to said oddities amongst the staff, it's unwise to slip Shouta in as a transfer teacher. Thanks to a temporary physical age regression quirk, Shouta is primed to go undercover as a student at Aldera with two objects in mind: figure out the discrepancies in the staff and keep the only Quirkless student at Aldera, Midoriya Izuku, safe.
Deeply unimpressed at having to be fourteen again, even physically, Shouta finds an unexpected kinship with the kid. While he tries to keep Midoriya safe and solve the cast, Shouta ends up rediscovering some things along the way as well. Whether it's setting a bully on the path of redemption or reigniting his love of heroics, Midoriya Izuku and Aizawa Shouta are about to change each other's lives for the better.

[Endeavour] was flawed, no doubt about that. He had similar statistics as All Might, both good and bad. Be it cases resolved or collateral damage, the two heroes were always neck and neck. So while they each had things they needed to address and improve on, between the two of them Keigo had always been rooting for Endeavor. (!)

[All Might] should have started getting the world ready for his retirement the moment he was injured like that.

Summary
Tim was on a mission.
It was a very big one. He knew that the trek from Drake Manor to Wayne Manor was at least an hour away if he made his little legs run very fast.
But the fact was that it was raining. And that made it a dangerous mission, because water slid across the roads and pavements, making it very easy for him to slip and fall.
But! He had a jacket, he had his boots, and he had an umbrella. And, again, Tim was on a very important and grandiose mission.
A mission to get a hug from Dick Grayson.

Summary
Staring at a trembling boy before him, All Might knows what he would've wanted someone to tell him if he'd asked the Number One Hero if he could've been a Quirkless hero. And if that notebook he signed was anything to go by, a little help from Nedzu and the boy might even surpass him.
When Midoriya Izuku asks All Might if he can be a hero without a Quirk, the Symbol of Peace says 'Yes.'

Summary
Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.
So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.
The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’
This fic has a discord.

Kyoka <3
---
One for All focused on strength, obviously. Anyone who had ever seen All Might fight could see that much, but at the same time, Kyoka just couldn’t bring herself to believe that’s all there was to it. Quirks just weren’t that simple. Take her own quirk for example. Sure, it enhanced ehr hearing, but it also allowed her to project her heartbeat, not to mention the fact that it had a mutation element to it as well. It didn’t fall into a neat little category because her quirk wasn’t a one trick pony and she was pretty sure that was true for most quirks. One for All shouldn’t be any different.All Might was a strong hero, but his go-to solution was usually to punch things, which meant that for him, the solution was always to have bigger muscles than his opponent and force his way to victory by sheer strength and force of will, but...well, as much as Kyoka hated criticizing All Might, that didn’t always work. When she was singing, muscling through a difficult passage could do more harm than good. Instead of trying to get stronger in that case, the best thing to do was improve the technique and airflow so that she got a good quality sound without hurting herself. It was the same with her instruments. A guitar could be made of the strongest wood on earth, but if the player didn’t know how to use it, it would still sound terrible. There had to be some technique elements to using One for All that she should be preparing for in addition to just building muscle.

Why couldn’t All Might have gone around talked with groups of quirkless kids and picked his successor that way? He could have seen which ones had heroic potential, which ones would be grateful for the opportunity he was giving them, and which would make good use of his amazing quirk. He even had his skinny form so no one would know that All Might was even looking for a successor!

Summary
Tim knew that following around Batman and Robin while only armed with a camera was... perhaps not the best idea, so he decided he'd take a knife along. But he didn't have a combat knife, and he didn't want to use the kitchen knives because Mrs. Mac used those and would probably notice if he either forgot to give one back or dulled it somehow, because it's not like he knows how to sharpen knives...
But he does know that there's a few knives in his parents' artifact collection no one would miss! He'll just grab one of those!
