Summary
Izuku has plans for everything.
He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.
For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.
Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.
(Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

The Reeducation of Midoriya Izuku by town_without_heart

Summary
A single stone is thrown into the middle of a lake, the ripples spread to touch the grassy edges. Fifteen years later, it is safe to say those ripples are history. And yet, as Detective Tsukauchi, All-Might, and Ground Zero overturn the stones at the bottom of the lake, they may learn the truth as they make new waves.
What does the fate of one quirkless boy matter? This is not baseless supposition; it took fifteen years for anyone to even notice Midoriya was missing.

Summary
"Please."
Buttons clatter to the floor from where your shirt now hangs in useless tatters. Your skirt hikes over the curve of your thighs and a sweet scent fills the room, throwing your mind into a haze.
His hands dig into your hips and his breath fans over your neck, sending dangerous shivers down your spine and reminding you just how much damage he could do with a single bite to your neck.
Your mind is reeling, hands digging into his shoulders as you begin to push him away, opening your mouth to bring him back to his senses. His heated eyes burn into yours when his broken voice fills your ears.
"Can't it be me?"
