Summary
Though this was hardly the first time Izuku had ended up in the wrong bed at the wrong time, it was the first time he’d be forced into the guardianship of Pro Hero Eraserhead because of it.
***
Basically, Midoriya Inko dies while Izuku is still young, and after a string of bad to worse foster parents he runs away, tragically learning that the streets are even crueler than the homes he was escaping from.
Years later, after barely surviving life as Overhaul's toy and pawn; Midoriya’s already terrible luck takes a swift downward spiral when a new, powerful underworld client starts demanding more of his time. But just when all seems lost, an act of goodwill and a sudden raid on a villain base saves Izuku, and the powers that be decide he knows too much to let him back into the general population.Their solution?
Enroll him into UA High School alongside his best ex-bully, 19 other superpowered teenagers, an inconvenient crush, and a truly horrendous sense of self preservation.
Looks like it’ll be a wild ride from here.
(Also, Midoriya has a warped version of his mother’s attraction quirk, which complicates things so much further.)

Summary
Izuku Midoriya is thought to be quirkless. It's not true. He has a quirk. He has death visions. His mother - terrified Izuku would be taken away because of the rarity of psychic quirks - teaches him to keep it secret and tell no one. But Izuku needs help saving the people he can feel dying in his visions and asks for help from the strongest person he knows: Katsuki Bakugou. Little did Izuku know, Katsuki has his own secret - he's being abused. Their secrets bind them together and a deep friendship is born. By the time they apply to UA, their feelings have begun to develop into something much stronger. But can their love survive through all the challenges ahead of them?

Summary
In which Stiles goes along with one of Derek’s plans and ends up in an alternate universe as a result. He should’ve known better. He did know better, actually, and that means he has no one to blame but himself.
“Laura wants to lure the kid in with food and kindness and make a pet of him, like a feral cat. Derek wants to have him arrested for stalking. They’re at an impasse. (And the rest of the family is staying emphatically out of it in a way that suggests bets have been placed.)”
