    Summary

    “Do you,” he says, quiet and more scared than he’d like to admit, “remember who I am?”

    There’s a short pause, and Yanqing is unsure whether Imbibitor Lunae is thinking or simply confused by the question, but when he finally responds, he says, “We fought by Scalegorge Waterscape. You’re Jing Yuan’s retainer, aren’t you?”

    Yanqing’s heart sinks. “Yeah. I am.” He wants to declare that he’s also a lieutenant, that he’s a soldier in his own right, but shame trumps his pride and he stays quiet. He doesn’t even know if Imbibitor Lunae remembers his name, but before he can hold it back, he says, “My name is Yanqing.”

    “My name is Dan Heng.”
    --
    Yanqing and Dan Heng meet each other properly for the first time. Perhaps it's because they'll never see each other again, but Yanqing decides it's finally time to get some things off his chest.

    Summary

    “Aizawa. Who is this?” the gruff voice of his teacher answered.

    “Aizawa-Sensei… It’s Midoriya,” he managed.

    “Midoriya? Why are you calling me at… 1 am on a school night, Midoriya?”

    “There’s a dead body in my apartment,” he told his teacher. "It's my mom."

    It had been 2 months since the night he called Aizawa. The man and his husband, Present Mic, believe it or not, fostered him without hesitation. He’d been seeing Hound Dog, UA’s counselor, twice a week since then. Slowly, but surely, he was healing with their help.

    But as he sat with his new foster parents for dinner each and every night, eating meals together consistently with no one making him feel guilty for needing food, he wondered if this was how family always should have felt. He found himself growing more and more comfortable with them.

    Just like when All Might gave him One For All, things were looking up for him.

    Until they all came crashing down.

    Familiar purple eyes stared at him in obvious surprise and anger. Izuku had known that Aizawa was training Shinsou a few nights a week after school, but he wasn’t sure why the boy was in their apartment right now. With a duffle bag. What was happening?

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku would never forget the day his dreams finally died.

    Katsuki never got to talk to Deku about his notebooks. About what he said about giving up. The damn nerd became an expert in avoidance, disappearing from the classroom day after day, vanishing from every break and lunch hour. He didn’t even come into class until just before the bell rang. But he was so out of it, it was almost like the nerd wasn’t there at all.

    Deku was falling apart and Katsuki could only watch.

    The rest of the year passed. The UA entrance exam came and went. Katsuki got in, obviously, with a first-place score. He was the best of the best and his results only proved that. The night he got his acceptance letter, he wondered what school Deku would be going to since he’d finally given up on UA. It left a bitter feeling in his chest which he pushed down and ignored.

    What he didn’t know was that as he was celebrating his acceptance, Deku was opening letter after letter. All rejections. And his childhood friend finally shattered.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku failed to get into UA High School. In fact, they didn't even let him take the exam. He was pulled from the rest of the exam-goers when he tried to check in for it. Instead, he found himself facing down the principal of UA himself: Nezu.

    The intelligence hero knows about Midoriya's experience as an analyst and his early graduation.

    How will things go for Midoriya when he finds himself teaching a class at UA and interning under his favorite hero?

    Summary

    It’s been 3 months since what’s been dubbed as the ‘Musutafu Horror’ appeared, killing 13 people and injuring many others. But the creature responsible still hasn’t been found.

    The forest that sprouted with its sudden appearance remains in what was once a small neighborhood park. There have been talks about removing the excess plant matter to restore the park, but locals who believe it may have been a nature spirit are arguing against these plans. They fear that destroying the creature’s forest will cause it to return.

    Currently, the forest in the park’s previous location, now known as the ‘Kaiju’s Forest,’ has been sectioned off by the police. People are discouraged from entering this forest since little is known about the plants and their unnatural growth. There is also concern that the monster is still inside, hidden from prior search attempts.

    ---
    When a quirk accident and discrimination force Midoriya Izuku to abandon his identity, he has to fight not only to survive but to eventually redeem himself. Homeless and in hiding, he continues to try to be a hero despite his fear of himself and others.

    Summary

    “What are these?” A’zawa demanded, gesturing to a line of reinforced cages that seemed to be separated from everything else. The crew members he was asking laughed.

    “Have you heard of the Deathworld, Terra?” one asked, her lip bleeding from a hit she had taken earlier.

    “Terra has a no-contact order. Their lifeforms wouldn’t be out here,” N’muri pointed out.

    “Unless you go there and bring some back yourself,” she laughed. “Do you know how much a Deathworlder goes for? How good they are as mindless fighters? Throw them in a ring with anything and they’ll rip them to shreds. Instant entertainment!”

    A’zawa turned back to the cages, filled with a variety of unfamiliar creatures. With a sigh, he pulled out his communicator. “Get Nezu. We have a problem.”

    ~or~

    After a series of failed expeditions, the planet Terra was classified as a Deathworld and had a no-contact order placed on it. To the rest of the galaxy's knowledge, there were no lifeforms of higher intelligence on Terra. So when some are recovered in a raid on an illegal trafficking and poaching ring, the more docile ones are taken in as pets. How long before Aizawa and his family realize their new pets may not be pets at all?

    Summary

    Allura can hardly focus on what’s going on around her. The Paladins, still so young and awkward and fumbling, clamor around her and Keith and Shiro, and all Allura can look at is Keith. His face, pinched with sadness and confusion and anger, but mostly with guilt, makes the tight feeling in her chest grow more oppressive.

    Her ears ring with his confession. In her panic-addled mind she snaps some things she’ll come to regret, and it hurts worse that he doesn’t snap back, that he defends her against his team, that he is resigned and small and so unlike the Keith she knew – knows – knew.

    She feels like a wild animal. Her heart pounds in her throat. When she meets his eyes, all she sees is yellow-yellow-yellow until she blinks hard enough to get rid of the illusion. His eyes, violet and big and glittering with all the emotions he never lets reach his face, are glassy and sad. His eyes are so sad, and the rational part of Allura’s brain reminds the rest that this is Keith; this is her paladin; this is her Red, but the rational part of Allura’s brain is not in control.

    -

    canon divergent, the nature of grief and the cycles of violence and war, allura character study.

    Summary

    “What I really want to talk about is your quirk. Your actual quirk,” All Might says nervously. “You are not quirkless, my boy. You never were. That quirk is not a part of One For All.” All Might takes a deep breath and tells Izuku all about the origin of One For All and the evil man who created it. He pauses for a moment at the end of the story. "Young Midoriya, can you tell me about your father?”

    Izuku blanches. “I— what? Why?” he demands. But he knows where this is going, he knows what he can do, he just desperately wishes it’s not true.

    “You have his quirk, my boy. You have All For One.”

     

    TLDR: One for All forces the manifestation of Izuku's original quirk. The one he inherited from his father.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku used to laugh when asked that thought-provoking icebreaker question in middle school: Would you rather be stranded on an island alone or with your worst enemy? Kacchan would demolish a deserted island, make it his bitch; it would be a paradise by the end of the week, Izuku knew. Of course, he’d want Kacchan there, even if it meant Kacchan taking out his misplaced anger at being stranded in the first place out on him. He’d reap the benefits in the end, he knew. And with no one around to be an audience, to interfere, their friendship might even rekindle.

    Oh, if only Kacchan was really his “worst enemy.” That was silly middle school thinking, Izuku now knew, as a third year student at UA.

    What’s worse than being abducted by aliens? For Izuku, it was being abducted by aliens with his long time nemesis, Shigaraki Tomura. When Izuku is lucky contestant number one to be chosen to be experimented on, he makes it his mission to make sure that Shigaraki does not meet the same fate. It’s not super surprising when Shigaraki isn’t grateful, but hey, it’s a plan, and Izuku’s sticking to it, determined to be heroic whether Shigaraki wants him to or not, whether Shigaraki trusts him to be or not.

    Summary

    Izuku falls to his knees, gasping, struggling for air. He can vaguely register the shouting of his neighbors, the alien language coming out shrill and high pitched, even while muffled by Izuku’s own racing heart. His left hand is still holding the bars in a white-knuckled, throbbing grip, the fingernails on his right hand scratching at the metal floor below him.
    ---
    Cut off from humanity and forced to rely only on each other, Midoriya Izuku and Shinso Hitoshi have their work cut out for them. Midoriya is clever, intelligent, and a quick study. Shinso knows what it takes to survive with nothing but himself to rely on. Together, they are the perfect match to make it back home. Except for the fact that they happened to be kidnapped by alien pirates, and they have no knowledge of the worlds beyond their solar system. The universe is an unforgiving place, and, as they will soon learn, an extremely dangerous one as well.

    What will it take to make it home? What are they willing to sacrifice? And are they prepared to leave behind the friends they make along the way?
    ---
    Or: Midoriya and Shinso get kidnaped by aliens and trapped in space, where they show the universe why humans are space orcs.

    In which Venti, Zhongli, and Nahida signed a joke contract centuries ago that might be less of a joke now…

    In which Nahida was forcibly imprisoned, didn’t know she was halting the dreams of the Sumeru people, and broke out to find Venti—in the hope that their contract is still valid.

    In which no one but Diluc and Jean knew about the whole Archon thing, and Kaeya may have a problem with this. Rosaria too, but she's quieter about it.

    It hasn’t even been one day since getting to the station and Izuku has somehow managed to find himself careening into the endless abyss that is space in a small pod he doesn’t know how to fly. Oh, look, aliens, maybe they’ll… or maybe they’ll just lock him space prison… At least he’s not alone, not that he knows any Common yet. Why does everyone seem so tense?

    Follow Izuku as he tries to navigate through space and the many aliens and obstacles that inhabit it! We have familiar faces such as obligatory cat-alien Dadzawa and his bird-alien mate DadMic! Re-explore themes such as language barriers and Humans being BAMF from Space Australia! This work is inspired heavily by other MHA stories in the "Humans are Space Orcs" tab, but I hope to bring some originality to the community as soon as Izuku can make his way off the alien pirate ship!

    Summary

    "Another archon's gnosis has been taken," Mona takes a sip of her tea.

    Kaeya hums. Venti had mentioned something about that, but he'd only been half listening. "Yes, I heard."

    "You're not at all concerned? What if they come for you next?"

    "If I die, I die," Kaeya shrugs.

    Mona frowns. "If you die, how will I get free peach tea?"

    -

    Kaeya could hardly be considered a God with his gnosis stolen from a dying archon, but others don't see it that way. Namely his friends that don't wanna run the risk of the fatui showing up and beating him into the ground. Kaeya doesn't mind too much, but he will probably die without his gnosis, and that's just a little inconvenient.
