Summary
Shigaraki Tomura. The person who would one day succeed where All For One had failed by killing All Might.
The person who would destroy every inch of happiness, of goodness, in Izuku's life, leaving him with nothing but this pipe dream of a better future that he wasn't even sure was possible anymore. Another thing that Shigaraki had taken from them - from all of them.
Fate really liked throwing him headlong into situations he wasn't ready for yet - like facing the younger version of his older (little?) brother before he had even gotten a foothold in this time.
Or
After an accident with Eri's quirk sends a twenty year old Izuku back to a time before all Japan knew was war with the League, before his old classmates began to drop like flies and before hope became too painful to hold onto, he finds himself in a precarious position to work from the background to try and make things right again.
Unfortunately, to do so, painful secrets found out far too late in his own timeline must be revealed, and even then, he realizes how little he himself can do and how much is actually in his younger self's hands.

Interesting time travel twist. A shame it was abandoned. I wonder where it would have gone. 6/1/25

My own take on what might be under Pyro's mask.
I have never been aware before how many faces there are. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several. - R.M. Rilke

Fantastic character study. I was quite impressed by the use of first person to conceal information despite living in the character's head. It was like a mystery novel.
It's a shame the story ends, but it couldn't be great without finality.
11/10

Summary
In the wake of Kamino, Katsuki is tested more than anyone could imagine. Bound by a villain’s quirk to keep his silence or die, he lives each day knowing it might very well be his last. He continues to work towards becoming a hero, keeping his secret from his classmates and teachers, focusing on making it through each day and trying not to allow the panic or depression to get the best of him. When the villain finally corners him with demands in exchange for his life, there is really only one answer Katsuki Bakugou can give.
This features the whole class and the teachers.

I loved how the story plays off his pride and complete unwillingness to be vulnerable. It is also an effective mystery. Once the characters learn the truth, we the audience learn a deeper truth. Very good.

Summary
“I won.”
He feels a hand prying open his knuckle, the one he has holding Deku’s uniform.
He watches as Deku slowly slips backwards.
The fence is too short.
Deku holds Katsuki’s wrist and makes a pulling motion towards his chest, just as if…
Just as if Katsuki was pushing him.
“I won.” Deku whispers.
And then he falls.
(Or: Katsuki accidentally murders Izuku Midoriya. Can he still become a hero?)

A fantastic character study. The flashbacks felt a bit needless and some were implemented poorly. But the heart and focus of the story remained sharply in view.

Summary
“So basically, you've got some freaky ass death quirk, which only activates when you are killed, that puts your consciousness in the head of whoever did you in?”
Izuku sighed dejectedly.
“Deku?”
“Yeah?”
“That's the worst fucking quirk I’ve ever heard of.”
“Yeah,” he repeated quietly.
Izuku has the Butcher’s power from Worm, causing his consciousness to wake up in the head of whoever is responsible for his death.

I like how the vigilante isn't Izuku wearing a green hoodie. I've seen Absorption/Assimilation as a quirk before and the thought put into it makes it feel fresh. The act of discovery is wonderfully shared with the audience. The side character are given enough presence to remind the audience they exist, without pulling away from the main characters.

I love how one rises for the other to fall away. I believe this is what really inspired the backbone of The Phantom Menace.

Love the character work on Gravity Girl. Having her character develop her cheery temperament to cope with a childhood in poverty is interesting. Shame the author fell off the face of the earth. Hope he/she comes back because I am DYING to see Gravity Girl suffer even more.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku was alive before the birth of quirks. Stuck in a testing facility by a sadistic A.I., Glados, he is forced to go through test after test in the Aperture Science chambers forever.
That is, until a rescue operation takes place to infiltrate the building, and now Midoriya must re-enter a society he didn't belong to with changes to his body he never wanted.
Or
Midoriya is a test subject in the years after Portal 2, where he undergoes human experimentation at the hands of Glados.
You don't need to have played/watched Portal to understand this, almost all Portal lore is explained.

It's that good story. I was not expecting the romance arc. Written so well I didn't see it coming until it was here. This Noelle was treat to read about. I might have gone overboard with my comments.
I can't wait for the next part, hopefully not too long.
