    Summary

    Izuku's quirk is simple, it tells him exactly what he needs to do.
    It tells him to grab an umbrella and that afternoon it rains unexpectedly. It tells him to bring cash and it turns out the card reader is out of order.
    His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
    Well, why not?
    - - -
    Does the name All for One mean anything to Izuku? Nope.
    Will he tear down the empire of a powerful villain who has been terrorizing Japan for over a century anyway? Sure.

    Funny, sweet, action-packed. At first I was like ‘well he was too overpowered’ but it grew on me a lot!! The writing is good, and while the story moves faster than others it focuses on the plot and does it well. Very much worthy of a bookmark, it was awesome, I recommend!

    Summary

    "So why should I be the one to go?! You’re the teacher! The Hero!! What good could someone like me do?!”

    “Izuku.” The man’s voice was harsh, and made the younger man’s eyes focus on his friend. His eyes softened. “It must be you. You’re not who you were back then. You aren’t useless. Remember this: You are a Hero. And the world is counting on you—even if nobody realizes it. Here. When the time comes... give this to him. You'll know he trusts you when he calls you 'Problem Child.'" He smiled fondly, handing Izuku a pair of rings on a chain.

    ~~~~~~~

    When the world ends, their only hope is to send one Quirkless man back in time. Back in his 14-year-old body, will Midoriya Izuku be able to save the world that shunned him all his life? And will he finally be able to become a hero this go around?

    Good thing he had time as a vigilante to practice.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku just wants to lead a quiet, peaceful life. This is foiled by the fact that a) he can see spirits, b) his good nature demands that he help anyone he sees in trouble, and c) he, by all rights, should not exist.

    Helping the heroes who have fallen victim to the new quirk-breaking drug is a terrible idea for many reasons, the first and most important being that he hates attention and avoids it like the plague. But he's the only one who can help, so he does.

    This is, Izuku decides as he breaks in, more trouble than it's worth.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku walks by his chance for greatness. Told that he can't be a hero by his idol and to not even think about UA by his once friend, he finally takes the realistic option and chooses Shiketsu's support course.
    Things get better eventually. He enjoys inventing and manages to make friends. It seems everyone was right, he wasn't meant to be a hero...
    But then everything goes to shit and the only way forward is to go back.

    In other words:
    Quirkless inventor Midoriya goes through a nomu apocalypse, takes some risks, and realizes he always had what it takes to be a hero. Add time travel to the mix.

    Summary

    It was surprisingly hard to keep a vigilante presence off the radar.
    Somehow, it was when Tommy was using his identity that could literally turn invisible, that he’d been almost immediately clocked by the heroes. He’d really only been just starting to have a presence when the heroes cornered him about it. Surprisingly, instead of attempting arrest, they’d recruited him. And who was he to say no to free access to the hero database and nice bathrooms?
    One power per secret identity, that was his rule, and he still had a couple more up his sleeve. The heroes could have one. As a treat. He was generous like that. He’d just take more care to keep his other identities off the radar.
    Simple.
    If only things worked out as planned. Somehow, it hadn’t taken long for his next vigilante persona to be noticed as well, though not by heroes this time.
    “I hear you talk to ghosts.” Said a deadpan voice.

    --

    Tommy can't help wanting to help, and he keeps getting powers so why not have more than one secret identity, yeah? Hero, vigilante, villain, coffee barista, and maybe one other.

    Or I read so, so many vigilante fics that I caved in and stuffed all of my ideas into one fic.

    AHHH. I just spent over 3 hours binging this. I need moreeee. Its SO. GOOD. Usually fics like this don’t have the best writing, but this one surpasses all expectations. The writing and the plot is immaculate. Just the right amount of angst. Just the right amount of soul-gripping suspense without getting bored. Just the right amount of fluff. Amazing.
