Summary
If anyone is the world’s craziest hero, it’s Kacchan. And right behind him is All Might, who fought while quirkless, all the odds stacked against him. And Todoroki, who fought his own family and still joined the final fight afterward, even when he had all the reason not to. And Uraraka, who’d seen a villain for exactly who she was, and had still been desperate to save her life.
Izuku thinks about Tenko again. The calm look that passed between them, the way it felt like acceptance of something that should’ve never happened at all.
I’m not—
Izuku swallows.
It’s not fair to dump this all on Kacchan, so he just smiles and interlaces their fingers. Squeezes with what limited ability he has.
-
Despite everything, Izuku can't shake the feeling that this isn't how it was supposed to go.

Summary
"You're a hero no matter what," Katsuki said firmly, desperately, "so you don't have to quit."
Because that had to be the problem. Izuku didn’t think he could do it, but he could. He could do anything, or not use any support item at all, and he’d still be twice the hero Katsuki would ever be.
Izuku’s eyes went soft and sympathetic. “I know, Kacchan.”
...What?
-
Katsuki was glad Izuku was fine, obviously. He'd just expected... something.
But expectations don't mean much in the aftermath of the war, and maybe heroism doesn't mean much, either.

Summary
Izuku getting his Brand New Super Suit doesn't turn out quite like Katsuki planned, but he'll be damned if he's going to let that ruin everything. It's fine. Everything is fine.
He's just going to have to find another way to make that dumb oblivious nerd stand by his side for the rest of their lives.

Summary
In ancient times, the lands and humanity were protected by animal-human hybrids, Legends, that carry One For All’s spirit. Being a Legend taking the form of a ram, Midoriya Izuku travels town to town and uses his powers to weave his magical wool into healing cloth items for humans.
One day however, when hopelessly lost and injured in his ram form during a snowstorm, he's rescued by a hunter, Bakugou Katsuki. To repay his debt, Izuku shapeshifts himself as a human and presents himself at Katsuki’s door as a traveller seeking refuge from the storm.
Izuku’s plans to weave his gifts of gratitude for Katsuki and leave by morning goes awry when the storm, his sustained injuries, and the townspeople already struggling with sickness unexpectedly forces Izuku and Katsuki to cohabitate... indefinitely.
Loyal to his duties, Izuku dedicates himself to weaving for the village to help them combat the sickness. But now, by living with Katsuki and the townspeople, he’s forced to grapple with what it means to be a human, have a home, and maybe even fall in love.
Or: A loose adaptation of the Japanese folklore, 'The Crane Wife.' Made for the Ever After Bang.
