    Summary

    Apparently life gives you a golden spoon or lemons. Izuku has found that there's a third, secret alternative to the metaphor: Life shot Izuku in the ankle, put a spare band-aid on the wound, and forced him on the track. But blood soaks through cheap cotton quickly enough, and Izuku’s unsure if keeping himself from bleeding out is worth it.

    Or

    An alternative take on the vigilante trope. Izuku’s alone, and despite everything pushing him to become a part of the ”quirkless deaths and disappearances” statistic, his good (or terrible?) luck keeps him on track. World’s number one hero? How about number one vigilante?

    Or or

    Izuku cheats death countless times and is unhappy about it.

    **NOTE** This fic is being rewritten. The current version is old and not very well written. The new version’s release date is currently unknown, hopefully by the end of 2026!

    Summary

    Dealing with the loss of his father was hard enough, but when Katsuki's car breaks down in middle-of-nowhere Texas on the way to the memorial service, he's pretty sure he's stepped straight into country music hell.

    What he finds there, wrapped up in drawls and twang, might be the healing he didn't know he needed.

    Summary

    There was a brief silence in which the only sound was the slight clink of chopsticks against ceramic before Natsuo spoke up. “So, uh, quick question. How did Touya land someone like you well enough that you still like him? You’re pretty out of his league.”

    Touya sent him an offended look. “I suddenly realize I don’t miss having little brothers at all.”

    Keigo rolled his eyes before answering. “As aware as I am that Touya’s a little league team and I am a World Series Champion-” Touya choked on his soba, looking at him in betrayal, “-the dating pool was limited. Throw in some trauma bonding, overthrowing a major government agency, a bit of crime, and here we are. Romance,” he added, blandly giving a little jazz hand with the one that wasn’t holding chopsticks.

    or,

    The League of Villains has surrendered to police custody, Endeavor is arrested and put on trial, the Hero Public Safety Commission has been shut down, and Japan is in the middle of massive political upheaval. Amongst all this, Dabi and Hawks try and navigate their newly legal relationship.
