    Summary

    Midoriya Izumi won’t speak. But, it doesn’t mean she can’t take control of the situations around her. She decides that the best lie is the one that skitters on the truth, and if she’s going to survive high school with Bakagou even being near her, she needs to have some sort of peace at school. So first day of class, before everything begins, she goes to her home-room teacher and quickly writes out on her tablet, “I was technically quirkless until a year ago, so please be nice when I can’t control my quirk. Also, as my paperwork states, I don’t really speak… If someone named Bakagou is in this class, please keep him away from me.”

    This first interaction changes everything.

    Or, Izumi want’s nothing to do with her childhood bully, Bakagou is losing his shit as usual, and Izumi accidentally triggers a willful custody battle between the man who gave her a chance, to the man that would have given her self-worth regardless.

    Summary

    People forget that if you asked the people of ancient Sparta, Aphrodite was a goddess of war, that she was connected to the ocean and war and blood and along with beauty and love. Of her several epitaphs, she had been the Dark One, that it was her son Eros who sowed chaos at her whim and at her feet, and that the gods feared love as much as they craved it. That another of her names was Ishtar, as surely as it was also Venus, goddess of war and beauty and love and defier of death.

    When the daughter of Aphrodite, touched by Death, looks across the face of lost Percy Jackson, she certainly remembers all about her godly parent, because she had been a mythology scholar in her first life, and she hears the call of war as she looks into sea-green eyes.

    Or Sena Strand is much like her mother, and when something is her’s, she plays for keeps.

    Summary

    He stood for a moment among the dying flames, glowing crimson wings spread wide, a gentle smile on his face, and his intense molten gold eyes focused on Izuku. The sight took Izuku’s breath away. This was a hero, a true hero. He wasn’t just smart and strong. He was kind . He was compassionate . He was real . This is what Izuku wanted to be. All Might’s smile had always seemed the best and brightest. It had always brought Izuku comfort, but compared to Hawks, it seemed cold and fake. All Might said Izuku couldn’t be a hero, but... Hawks said All Might was wrong. Maybe Izuku couldn’t be a hero like All Might… but, he realized suddenly, he didn’t want to be like All Might anymore.

    ~or~

    When All Might leaves Izuku Midoriya on that rooftop, Izuku spends a little longer standing there and thinking about his future. That changes everything.
