    Summary

    Aizawa Shouta’s instincts were nearly 100% accurate, as was his eye for small details. They were skills honed through years working the Underground, and only broadened when it came to dealing with 20 incredibly powerful teens year after year. So, when he noticed that Midoriya hadn’t brought a lunch for the fourth time this week, he knew something was off.

     

    The story is complete along with an epilogue and a whole slew of shorts!

    Summary


    Izuku is a vigilante, and frankly it's the only good thing in his life. Or at the very least, it's brought about all of the good things. He loves nothing more than patrolling under the stars with Eraserhead at his side and Tsukauchi a phone call away.

    So even though his civilian life might finally be amounting to something, now that he's getting into UA with a chance of becoming an actually-Licensed hero, he can't give his vigilantism up.

    Equally, Aizawa isn't giving up on his Kidilante. The kid's been his for three years already, there's no way that those half-completed adoption papers in his desk drawer are going to go to waste. If only he had time to breathe beyond keeping his Kidilante safe, alongside his new class who are apparently villain magnets. It's going to be a long year.

     

    (Written to fulfil every part of my pathetic little soul that just had to write ''angsty! but kind! little shit! Izuku who's an insomniac Quirkless vigilante that Aizawa is 100% going to adopt if only he could figure out his real identity but he refuses to force it out of him now because it took him years to earn that trust dammit and he'll wait longer if that's what it takes'' idea, but mine.)

    Summary

    If there is one thing that he has learned, it is that surviving is hard. By itself, choosing to survive and continuing to exist will be one of the hardest things to accomplish. By the next day he’s surprised he didn't die the day before.

    He should be dead by now, right?

    Didn’t his story essentially end the moment he was handed his death sentence in a diagnosis? Or was that where it began?

    He’s not sure if he believes in beginnings and endings.

    Does it matter how an ending starts when the end is near? Does it matter who is there and who isn’t, what he endures or overcomes? Does it matter how hard he tries, or how much he cares?

    People like Izuku survive until they don’t.

    Is that Living? Is it Surviving? Is it Death?

    ...What's the fucking difference?

    Summary

    “It’s okay to be scared,” Eraserhead says. “I’d be scared too, if I didn’t know where I was or how I got there.”

    The tears Izuku managed to hold back earlier fill his eyes again, and he bites hard at his lip. He’s seven now; he has to be brave. “I’m okay,” he says softly. “Th-thank you for saving me.”

    Those strange, dark eyes soften a little. “It’s my job,” he says simply.

    Still. Izuku never got to thank him, the first time.

    Izuku gets hit by a quirk that de-ages him to seven years old, and relearns what it means to be taken care of.

    Summary


    He wants to wave the younger hero off, assure him that it’s fine, but for some reason his heart is jackrabbiting against his ribcage and something is poking and tugging at the edge of his thoughts, insisting that ‘this is wrong.’

    “Yagi?” Aizawa has evidently taken several steps towards him, and he hadn’t even noticed, “Are you alright?”

    Toshinori tries to assure his colleague that he’s fine, he’d just been caught off guard, but the words get caught in his throat, and he’s forced to swallow them back. This is… familiar, isn’t it? This has happened before, hasn’t it?

    Déjà vu. It must be. |

    “Yagi?”

    Even if it’s the strongest sense of déjà vu Toshinori has ever experienced, “I… I’m alright, Aizawa. Sorry. I didn’t sleep well, and I think I must have been half-dreaming when you walked in. I suppose my instincts just aren’t what they used to be.”

    At that, Aizawa raises a brow and shakes his head, “I don’t know about that. I don’t think I’d trust anyone’s instincts more than yours.”

    Toshinori finds himself in a race against time to save his successor. Over and over and over again.
