Summary
If there was one thing Izuku Midoriya was good at, it was crying. Ever since he was four years old, when he was diagnosed quirkless and everything started going wrong, crying had become his most sharply-honed skill. But crying couldn't make you a hero. And that was all he had ever wanted.
One night, after a particularly painful beating from his childhood friend Kacchan and his lackeys, Izuku found himself once again practicing his only true skill.
And something changed.
Izuku was overjoyed at finding that he did, in fact, have a quirk, even if it was a useless and even slightly uncomfortable one. His joy was short-lived, however. Who could have predicted that the one thing he had always dreamed of and that society had shunned him for lacking would mark the beginning of the end of Izuku's life?- Language:

Deku? I think he's some pro... by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown)

Summary
Yagi Toshinori watched the green haired boy walk away after saving his friend and shook his head. While the boy's actions were heroic, he was just too reckless. He walked in the opposite direction, thinking about a time he could meet the candidate Sir Nighteye put forward.
Izuku Midoriya goes home and decides that, even if he can't be hero himself, he can still help them with his analysis. Cue Izuku catching the attention of multiple heroes who are a little more open-minded and willing to see the potential in a quirkless kid.
This fic has a discord.

Summary
Izuku's quirk is simple, it tells him exactly what he needs to do.
It tells him to grab an umbrella and that afternoon it rains unexpectedly. It tells him to bring cash and it turns out the card reader is out of order.
His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
Well, why not?

Does the name All for One mean anything to Izuku? Nope.
Will he tear down the empire of a powerful villain who has been terrorizing Japan for over a century anyway? Sure.- Language:

If We’re Being Honest by thequeenofwhump

Summary
“So we’ll just blurt out random things?” Mina asked. “Like the fact that I can’t eat sandwiches not cut down the middle?”
Snickers rose from the class as she turned a bright red.
Aizawa sighed. “Not exactly. The quirk is a weird mix between a truth quirk and a prone to suggestion quirk, thanks to the boy's parents. It means you’ll be under the effects of a normal truth quirk, but you also won’t have the ability to keep yourselves from oversharing.”
“So we’ll all be spouting fucking word vomit like Deku?!”
“Yes, Bakugou. Fucking word vomit.”
—
Or
Class 1-A is hit by a very powerful truth quirk, and lots of things come out. Some things are quite harmless - quite the opposite, really - others are quite funny, and some open wounds that never really healed.
