    Summary

    Taylor did not know what was going to happen to her after beating Scion. Being trapped in an alternate timeline with an old nemesis, and her mental capacities restored wasn't a possibility that entered her mind. Yet it was the reality she was left with, and she could do what she did best, make the best out of a bad situation.

    Summary

    Ten years after Izuku Midoriya and his classmates first walked through the halls of U.A, a new cadre of hero hopefuls is inspired to follow in the footsteps of the now-legendary Hell Class, the heroes of the Paranormal Liberation War. The former students of the Hell Class, meanwhile, are making steady progress helping Japan recover. Society is still in turmoil, but things are looking up at last.

    But a new threat is on the horizon, as an enemy from within the Hell Class's own ranks sets her plans into motion and threatens to tear down the status quo for a second time. Some of the darkest secrets of the hero system are about to be exposed and its most basic tenets questioned, leading the next cadre of future heroes, and the world, to ask a question that fundamentally shakes the very idea of heroics.

    Does the world really need heroes? Or do heroes exist to prevent everyone else from becoming strong enough to help themselves?

    Will update at least once a month. Hopefully.

    Has a Tropes page.

    Summary

    In Greek Myth, the titan, Prometheus, stole fire from the gods and delivered it to humanity, both figuratively and literally raising mankind out of the darkness. For that, his name was forever remembered, becoming a symbol of progress, discovery, and enlightenment. But what is so easily overlooked was that, in order to bring the light of fire to the world, Prometheus had to commit a grievous crime.

    Midoriya Izuku is expelled from UA on the first day by Aizawa for being Quirkless. Realizing the bitter truth of the world he lives in, Izuku vows to drag humanity out the darkness…whether they like it or not.

    He’s just going to get some payback first.

    Summary

    The Empire of Erebonia is a venerable and storied nation with a long history filled with triumph and despair, iron and blood. It has withstood trail and disaster, both mundane and near mythical, from the predations of the Dark Dragon Zoro-Agruga, to the devastating War of the Lions. The Empire has not merely survived the test of time, it has thrived, rising to dominate the west of Zemuria, buoyed by the rapid advances of the Orbal Revolution.

    But all is not well in the Empire. The prosperity it enjoys has shifted the balance of power between the proud, venerable nobility and the rising power of the commoner class, both vying to steer the ship of state. All the while, the Emperor stand aloof, even as the cunning Chancellor plots inscrutably to further his goals, expanding the Empire's influence over the neighboring states of North Ambria, the City of Crossbell, and the now annexed Jurai.

    And above and below the workings of man, ancient mechanism begin to turn again, and the snake continues to swallow its tale.

    But these are all distant things to the average citizen, and in this time of rising tensions, the next generation must find their place in the world, Irene Schwarzer most of all.

    Summary

    Being told by his idol that he can be a hero was the greatest thing that had ever happened in Midoriya Izuku’s life. In fact, it was so incredible and amazing that it compelled him to do something that he had been taught from an early age to NEVER do. He asked his teacher a question.

    Or: Izuku decides to ask Toshinori to teach him how to use One For All while he’s cleaning up the beach. This prompts Toshinori to realize that he actually can’t really do that. So he reluctantly calls Gran Torino and gets him to help train and supervise Izuku’s ten month American Dream Plan for entering UA.
