    Summary

    In some universes, Izuku Midoriya's dream came true when All Might gave him One for All. He was finally on a level playing field with everyone else, and he ran forward into the future without looking back, aiming to become the next Symbol of Peace. This was not one of those universes.

    In other universes, Izuku Midoriya was never given One for All. Maybe he never encountered the sludge villain a second time. Maybe All Might didn't track him down afterward. Whatever the cause, Izuku Midoriya remained quirkless. In some of those universes, he became a villain, disenfranchised with the society that had always beat him down. While those universes were closer to this one, this was not one of them either.

    In this universe, Izuku Midoriya still received One for All, but he never forgot what it meant to be quirkless. He never forgot the way that those who were deemed "lesser" were treated. Izuku Midoriya was made to help people. When he realized that the heroes he'd admired for his entire life would never help people like him, not if it meant giving up their power, well...

    The road to Hell was paved with good intentions. At least Izuku wasn't walking it alone.

    Summary

    When his father and Tomura start planning the USJ attack, Izuku makes a plan of his own. It’s simple, only four steps:

    1. Steal Eraserhead’s quirk
    2. Use it to kill All for One
    3. Give Erasure back, hopefully
    4. Go to jail, probably

    He’s prepared for the plan to fail at any time, but surprisingly, it’s not until step 4 that things fall through.

    Summary

    Some pills are tough to swallow. Others don't need to be taken at all.

    Izuku wants to become a hero, wants it with a burning passion. So what if Izuku was quirkless. So what if every pro hero he heard of (most of them) had a quirk. Helping people didn't require a quirk. Who would let something like the lack of a superpower get in the way of that goal? Proper training at Japan's best heroic's program would more than prepare him for his future career. Theoretically. Izuku needed to get into the school first.
    He needs to be able to prove that he has more potential than all the applicants with quirks. Objectively the odds are not in his favour. Izuku has never taken the easy way out, and maybe with copious amounts of luck he might have a chance.

    Or- what inevitably happens when one quirkless Midoriya Izuku discovers he has borderline supernatural levels of good luck and tries to master it in time for UA's entrance exams.
