    Summary

    Izuku went through a lot of phases as a kid. Dinosaurs. Quantum physics. Pre-quirk ducks. Being a hero (though that one stuck). And that, combined with an active imagination and few friends had left him with more than a few fond memories of playing pretend during the summer he spent with his father while his mother gained her Villain Response Team certificate.

    At five, he’d been so lonely that he’d concocted an imaginary quirk that let him create fog and even clouds when the hot sun became too oppressive at Dad's summer estate. Sue him, he’d had a meteorology phase too.

    At twelve, he could explain the longing that defined his childhood fantasies.

    At thirteen, he desperately clung to the words his Father whispered into his ears that summer before he had become too busy for his quirkless son.

    But at fourteen, when he awoke panting with One For All crackling at his fingertips, he could not explain the low hanging fog, no clouds, that covered his bedroom.

    Summary

    When Midoriya Izuku finds an altar buried in the woods, he really should leave it alone. It’s old and it’s faded— the dark stones are weather-worn, pockmarks from the flow of water over time.

    An abandoned altar meant gods who had been abandoned.

    (And maybe, Izuku finds this too sad to ignore)

    With soft fingers and keen eyes, Izuku begins to strip the rocks of dirt and mould. Even though it is evening and the shadows dip low— the altar is warm beneath his hands.

    It feels like change.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya was born to be a ray of sunshine. Someone who gave hope to anyone he graced with his smile. Someone who would do anything for a friend. Someone who would give his all no matter the cost. For the most part, Izuku is. He smiles in the face of everyone who mocks and scorns him for being quirkless. He defends anyone in trouble no matter how much they hate being saved by a 'Deku'. He hugs and reassures his mother whenever she worries for him. He lives life as happy as anyone else. Or at least that'd be true if Izuku were an idiot.
