    Summary

    Heavy, wet breathing, and a choked-off voice: “C-come in. Please. Someone, come in. This is Midoriya Izuku. Bakugou Katsuki and I are t-trapped—”

    He cuts himself off, just as Katsuki fuzzily realizes his head is pillowed on Izuku’s thigh. His thoughts come in slow like molasses.

    Izuku breathes hard. “—Under a building. We’re under the building.”

    //

    or:

    Izuku has had this thing about him that Katsuki has never been able to name, but he's been chasing it since he learned how to run. It takes a catastrophic building collapse during their third year and a severe concussion for him to realize what it is.

    Aizawa loses ten years off his life. When does he not.

    Summary

    You're a retired heroine. You were never a household name, and "retirement" suited you. Well, except for the chronic underemployment and readjusting to real life. But we can't all be super popular, super big heroes - and honestly, there's a place for "paper pushers."

    Too bad Principal Nezu knows who you are. Or rather, who you were. And now, facing the gates of UA, you're surrounded by heroes that don't know what to make of you. Truth to tell, you don't know what to make of them, either.

    A collection of drabbles, easing towards a story.

    Summary

    If this were anything like the comics, Izuku Midoriya being quirkless would be the norm while heroes would be treated as a rarity. As it stands, everyone’s got a super power, except for Izuku, of course. No worries, though, because he’s over it (nope) and has moved on to bigger and better things (again, nope) like working at a tiny comic book shop and indulging in stories where being able to lift a bus with your bare hands was deemed impossible until proven otherwise.

    Oh, and running into your heroic ex-boyfriend? Also unlikely. But Izuku’s life isn’t like a comic book (maybe?) and Katsuki Bakugou is standing right in front of him: still perfect, still handsome, and still putting his combat booted foot in his mouth.

    [Or: AU where Izuku works at a comic book shop because that’s as close to a hero as he’s gonna get, and Katsuki plays the part of heroic ex-boyfriend who is good at everything except winning Izuku back... maybe]

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

    But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

    Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

    (This story now has a TV Tropes page!)
