Summary
“Can I still be a hero, even without a quirk?”
‘Oh’
“My precious child,” Hisashi hugged his sobbing son, “Quirks are only one part of a person. And you, with your blinding smile and incredible mind that your mother and I love so much, have everything you need to become a hero.”
Midoriya Izuku's innate perseverance to become a hero and ability to analyze heroes and quirks are already impressive. What will happen when these qualities are encouraged and cultivated by a loving father who continues to give advice even beyond the grave?
Or: What if Horikoshi remembered that it takes two to create a child and gave Izuku the classic dead parent backstory to boot?
Rated M for language, angst, and detailed descriptions of injuries
Series
