Summary
The mood of a scene was determined by the light that shone above us – moulding the emotions and actions that escaped oneself.
The slow dimming of twilight.
The flooding sunlight of a spring morning.
The blackness of the night.
The grey indifferent light of the covered sky.
In Izuku’s case…his was a completely cloudless sky.

Summary
Satoru Gojo may not be the most responsible teacher, but nobody can say he doesn’t care about his kids.
Especially when they need him the most.
—
Or, 5 times Gojo cares for a sick student, and the 1 time they return the favor.

Summary
So no, Inko Midoriya didn’t have many regrets in life.
But she would always regret sending Izuku back to live with his mother.
Especially when he returned to her a little more ragged then when he left, with a fire burning in his eyes. Telling her that he wanted to attend U.A. High school.

It’s been a month since they’ve killed their teacher and Class 3-E have been invited to continue their training in assassination under Tadomi Karasuma. If that wasn’t hard enough, Nagisa now has to deal with getting kicked out by his mother and forced to return to a life he'd thought he'd long since left behind.
Quirks, assassinations, and secrets. A combination of things where nothing could possibly go wrong.

Summary
“What I really want to talk about is your quirk. Your actual quirk,” All Might says nervously. “You are not quirkless, my boy. You never were. That quirk is not a part of One For All.” All Might takes a deep breath and tells Izuku all about the origin of One For All and the evil man who created it. He pauses for a moment at the end of the story. "Young Midoriya, can you tell me about your father?”
Izuku blanches. “I— what? Why?” he demands. But he knows where this is going, he knows what he can do, he just desperately wishes it’s not true.
“You have his quirk, my boy. You have All For One.”
TLDR: One for All forces the manifestation of Izuku's original quirk. The one he inherited from his father.

Background Noise by crinkledpp

Summary
"The world was gray. Static. A low-humming vibration of indifference that coated everything."
Izuku isn't sad anymore. He's just tired. He has a plan, a date, and a countdown. He just has to survive his third year of middle school, and then he can finally stop the noise.
But when a mandatory Social Studies project on "Nature vs. Nurture" pairs him with his childhood friend-turned-bully, Izuku is forced to engage with the world he's trying to leave behind. Through the lens of a camera and weekly meetups, Bakugo begins to notice that the nerd isn't scared anymore—he's empty.
And Bakugo decides he hates the silence more than the muttering.
