  Summary

  Two childhood friends with a shared dream of becoming great heroes. One of them blessed with a powerful Quirk that practically guarantees his success, while the other has no Quirk at all, and is told constantly that a Quirkless hero is nothing but a misguided dream. This is the situation that is commonly used to describe Katsuki Bakugou and Izuku Midoriya.
  However, what if those roles were switched? What if it was Katsuki who grew up Quirkless and Izuku with the powerful Quirk? How does that change who they are? And do those changes turn into something more significant down the line?

  One thing is certain, though, Katsuki will do everything in his power not be known as someone useless.
