    Summary

    The screen starts out black. Instead of the usual bunny intro, it immediately cuts to a boy.

    His smile seems forced.

    "Hi, it's Yume. Usually I'm more upbeat during my videos, but honestly..." His smile fades, a grimace in place of it, "I don't think I have the energy nor any f**ks right now. Let's talk about the Sludge Villain Incident."

    Or, Midoriya Izuku is an up-and-coming youtuber who analyzes quirks of heroes. His video about the Sludge Incident goes viral, earning him an immediate boost in subscribers. Somehow he remains oblivious to the multiple heroes that comment on his videos, his fans' apparent thirst for him and his blatant crush on Editor-kun and Angry-kun.

    Summary

    No one remembers to come to Izuku's fourth birthday.
    No one remembers that he's there, that he needs them.
    No one remembers Izuku at all.

    Izuku's quirk makes him a blind spot in memory. A boy the world forgets the moment they look away. The people meant to care for him, the people he reaches for, the people he needs. They all forget.

    When the Concord Collapse tears through hero society, toppling the old order, control becomes the new symbol of peace. Izuku's curse becomes its foundation - a power others will twist, manipulate and exploit, to hold the world together as they wish.

    From the hands that built him, to the chaos that trained him, from the shadows of vigilantes to the fragility of a found family, Izuku is pulled through the wreckage towards a new age.

    As heroes and old symbols fade, new ones rise to fill the void and shape what 'hero' means. Caught at the centre of it all, Izuku must decide: is it more important to protect peace or to protect reality itself?

    One truth remains. Being remembered isn't necessary to make a difference. To be a hero.

    Summary

    Izuku watches his childhood and current best friend get murdered by the sludge villain while the heroes hold him back.

    They say there was nothing they could have done, they didn’t have “suitable quirks”.

    Izuku’s anger fuels his need to show them that your quirk, or lack there of, shouldn’t stop you from saving a life.

    He loses more and more of himself as he speeds towards the next fight, the next villain. All in the hopes of keeping his dead friends dream alive.

    Will it all come crashing down around him? Will he lose himself completely and become nothing more than a shell of his former self? Or will he find people in this life who are willing to help him back to the surface before he drowns?

    Summary

    “It’s okay,” Izuku reminds himself in a whisper.  “Just play the stupid game and then they’ll let you out.  They will.”

    Determination settling around his shoulders, Izuku lowers his outstretched arm to clutch at the handle of his bag.

    “E-Eraserhead,” Izuku forces his voice to be louder than he’d like it to be so that hopefully Kacchan and the others won’t pretend they didn’t hear him.  “Eraserhead. Eraserhead.”
