    Summary

    The Lost City of Aldera is just a fairy tale: something for starry-eyed children or dead end adventurers to dream of, hoping it might one day fall right into their laps. Only a fool would believe it's real.

    Izuku Midoriya is one such fool.

    . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

    Katsuki Bakugou is a dead man walking. In two days' time, he'll have to face the consequences of a crime he may (or may not) have committed. And yet, he's the only one on this forsaken continent with the answer to a thousand year old question. If the odd Professor wants to hear it, he'll have to be the one to stand between death and a pretty-eyed stranger.

    (The Mummy (1999) meets fantasy AU)

    Summary

    “I’m Midoriya Izuku,” he said, extending his hand. “By the way.”

    The boy didn’t take it right away.
    Instead, his gaze dropped to Izuku’s hand, lingering on the scars that crossed his knuckles and fingers—old fractures, healed wrong. For a moment, his expression flickered with something Izuku couldn’t place. Hesitation. Fear.

    Then, slowly, the boy lifted his own hand.
    He reached out.

    And passed straight through.

    A sharp, electric chill tore up Izuku’s arm, pins and needles erupting where their hands should have met. The sensation was wrong—too cold, too empty—and Izuku gasped, yanking his arm back as if burned.

    “What the f—“
    He looked up, horror flooding his chest, green eyes blown wide.

    The boy only smiled.

    It wasn’t the dazzling grin from before. It was smaller. Sadder. Like he’d known this would happen and had been bracing for it all along.

    The boy laughed softly, as he said, “Name’s Shirakumo Oboro,” he said. “And I’m— well. Not—”

    The word landed fully formed in Izuku’s mind before it was ever spoken.

    Ghost.

    OR:
    Izuku gains the ability to see ghosts. So now he has to figure out how to solve the death of a boy who shouldn't exist.

    Summary

    Katsuki Bakugou, lead singer and the star of an up-and-coming rock band, needs to write a set amount of love songs as per the contract with his label.

    The bad news is: he sucks at it. The even worse news is: they need to hire a dorky-looking lyricist who always manages to get on Katsuki's nerves to help them out.

    ━━━━━━━━𝄞━━━━━━━━

    Izuku Midoriya is elated to be the lyricist for one of the coolest new bands of the century, really he is!

    But it would've been... a lot more enjoyable if the hotheaded lead singer didn't glare at him so harshly every time they work together! This is going to be a very difficult partnership indeed.

    Summary

    The masked man turned to him, stepping forward with leisurely cruelty.

    "Ohh, what do we have here?" His voice was like gravel scraping glass. "The great healer’s runt. You've got your Inko’s eyes, boy. No wonder she disappeared from Caelumbra—hiding something precious." He grinned, revealing jagged yellow teeth. "Quite noble, wasn't she?"

    "W-who are you?" Izuku's voice cracked. "How do you know my mom?"

    The masked man stepped closer.

    Izuku's legs trembled. His chest heaved. Every instinct screamed at him to run.

    The man raised his other hand, claws gleaming, poised to strike—

    BOOM!

    A fiery explosion slammed into the masked man, sending him flying backward and releasing Izuku, who collapsed to the ground, coughing violently.

    "Hey, dipshit," a harsh, gravelly voice barked from the shadows. "You picked the wrong night to piss me off."

    ----

    OR: Izuku was living his life on earth but one fated night after his 18th birthday, a masked man appeared and killed his grandfather and two magical students came calling themselves as half-bloods went to save him.

    It's a story of how Izuku discovered his magical destiny in UA Arcanum.

    Summary

    The learning curve is steep when you live in hell and try to change your ways for the better.
    So steep, it can be scary and nauseating. Better hold on tight to one another and take one step after another.

    Series will have Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss crossovers and Stolitz and Radioapple as the main pairings.
