    Summary

    The Winter Soldier was an omen.

    He was unstoppable in his goals, vicious in his execution. Cold and unfeeling as his name. He was a herald of death, a shadow in the night, a name only in the words of dying men, whispered syllables on blood-coated lips.

    The Winter Soldier was also dead.

    It's been months. Bucky should feel better.

    But standing next to Percy on the other side of the police tape, looking over the tally of bodies that just keeps growing, he can't help but feel anything but dread.

    The Winter Soldier was gone. But it was becoming brutally apparent that he was not the only ghost who had taken up clawing his way through innocents.

    Summary

    Quirks are everything. In the decades since their arrival, they've become so ingrained in society that having a quirk is equated with being human.

    So, what happens when someone is quirkless? Are they viewed as less than those have one? Not fully deserving to be called human?

    What happens when someone has more than one quirk, against the natural order of things? Are they viewed as monsters? Inhuman for an entirely different reason?

    And, most importantly.

    What happens when someone is born with a quirk that gives them the power to decide who falls into what category?

    Summary

    "So why should I be the one to go?! You’re the teacher! The Hero!! What good could someone like me do?!”

    “Izuku.” The man’s voice was harsh, and made the younger man’s eyes focus on his friend. His eyes softened. “It must be you. You’re not who you were back then. You aren’t useless. Remember this: You are a Hero. And the world is counting on you—even if nobody realizes it. Here. When the time comes... give this to him. You'll know he trusts you when he calls you 'Problem Child.'" He smiled fondly, handing Izuku a pair of rings on a chain.

    ~~~~~~~

    When the world ends, their only hope is to send one Quirkless man back in time. Back in his 14-year-old body, will Midoriya Izuku be able to save the world that shunned him all his life? And will he finally be able to become a hero this go around?

    Good thing he had time as a vigilante to practice.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku wanted to be a hero. Even if he was quirkless, even if he was beaten down and laughed at, he still dreamed of becoming a hero.

    But what if a hero, the very thing he sought to become, abandoned him? What if he left to die, forgotten and alone? What if a person who society called a ‘villain’ had saved him? Would he still want to become what the world called a ‘hero’?

    Despite the world constantly pushing him towards villainy, the answer was yes. Even with an awful awakening of the world around ‘heroes’ and ‘villains’, he was still going to become a hero, quirkless or not— even if it meant learning from a villain and bringing down entire social prejudices to reach it.
