Summary
The job had been simple enough. Get inside Dabi's apartment and collect as much intel on him as possible. Risky and sudden, not to mention not how Hawks would've played his cards, but certainly doable. Or so Hawks had begrudgingly thought, before he ended up getting caught in a hurricane that left his life in shambles.

Summary
“No.”
It’s a fair response.
“And you found him because…?”
An even better response. Hawks isn’t in the mood to answer it though. “I heard a cry; I was first on scene.”
Naomasa nods and everyone else buys the tale. They’re all looking at one thing only. Specifically, the A-Rank villain known as Dabi who is, for all intents and purposes, currently five years old.
aka, Dabi is turned into a child and suddenly turns a lot more talkative, leading to some (possibly unwanted) revelations.

Summary
In this world of Heroes, it's so easy to reach out a hand and help another up. In this world of Villains, it's so easy to tear another down.
It all starts, when Shouta Aizawa finds a young boy dying on the streets. As the police rush to find the boy's attacker, Shouta suddenly finds himself in a position to care for a child who is scared, traumatized and in desperate need of a parental figure. It’s only temporary he tells himself. At least, that’s the plan.
As each new turn in the investigation continues to add complication after complication, Shouta finds himself increasingly concerned for his young charge – and unwilling to give up a responsibility he wasn’t sure he wanted in the first place.

Summary
Dabi. How on earth had Hawks ended up in this mess? He is a literal murderer who regularly burns people to death. He is an asshole to everyone and has a god-awful temper. The only person he seems remotely fond of is Toga, he acts like he barely tolerates anyone else. He’s unhealthily skinny and absolutely covered in horrific scars. Keeping Dabi as just his mark should have been easy. But Keigo saw the beauty in his patchwork face and long legs, the caring and love for others that he tried to hide with insults. The silent displays of affection, the vulnerability of a man who was broken by life and is just desperately trying to hold the pieces together. Keigo was definitely never supposed to fall in love with his ugly, beautiful, angry, caring, patchwork villain. Now he can never love anyone else.

Summary
Rather than the police station, Katsuki's friends bring him to a hospital after rescuing him from the villains. His wounds were minor, but it didn't make having them treated any less important. As it would so happen, Best Jeanist was also brought to this hospital after the attack.
Sometimes, small choices have a big impact on how a story plays out.

Featuring: Serious talks regarding abuse and emotional scars, one adult finally stepping the hell up and trying to help Katsuki, me going off about the sports festival because I'm still not over it, pro-heros having a group chat, and Katsuki finally getting a chance to learn how to be good.Series

Summary
There he was: sitting splay-legged on the altar, one muddy combat boot propped up on the edge, with a self-satisfied grin on his face and a relaxed aura, in spite of the war raging outside.
Izuku wasn’t sure what he’d expected to see his first day evacuating humans from the Rapture zone, but it sure as hell wasn’t a Demon with the same goal.
A story about falling, in more ways than one.

Bookmarker's Notes
HOLY FUCKING HELL THIS FIC KILLED ME AND BREATHED ME BACK TO LIFE IN THE SAME FUCKING CHAPTER. MULTIPLE TIMES.
If I die of a heart attack, it's because of excessive stress from whiplash. The writing, the characters, the plots, the ending, just. Every single part of this fic is absolutely insane and should be studied in classrooms. I will reread this once a year. Maybe a month. Could even go for a week.

Summary
Feared ruler, Prince Touya, sets his sights on Hawks, the beloved hero from a different universe. Enamored, he takes him back to his own dimension with the intent to marry him. Little does he know that the heroes and a certain villain lover will stop at nothing to bring Hawks back home.
--
The villain is waiting for him. Back turned as he hums absentmindedly. Hawks calls a primary to his hand, sharpening it into a blade. He doesn’t advance, though, watching the figure cautiously instead. Hearing him, the man finally turns, and Hawks is struck by how familiar he looks.
He’s never met this man before in his life, but his features, his eyes, there's something about them that Hawks is certain he’s seen before. They feel almost intimately familiar. Just who is he?
“I’m so glad we can finally meet, Hawks.”
“Who are you?”
“You can call me Touya,” Touya says, and for some reason, the name strikes him as awfully familiar, the same as the rest of him.
“Touya…” It’s his first name, a bit too intimate for Hawks’ liking. “What do you want?”
Touya blinks at him innocently, stepping a little closer, and for some reason, Hawks can’t find the will to move away.
“You.”

“You and me, birdie. We’re exactly the same.”
“Fine,” Hawks sighs. “I’ll bite. How so?”
“Your old man was a piece of shit,” Dabi says, all confident, but falters suddenly. Hawks’ heart leaps into his throat.
“Was yours a piece of shit too?” he asks softly. Dabi nods. “Villain?”
“Worse.”In which the boys are each other’s broken mirrors.

Of Owning a Café and Other Heroic Deeds… by Beware_The_Tristero
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia, Boku no Hero Academia Vigilantes

Summary
Aizawa Shouta knew, fundamentally, that his quirk could be useful when it came to helping others; however, after his parents died and a few, unsuccessful jaunts around the foster-care system later, he comes to realise that the world of heroes isn’t for him.
Because heroes only showed up some of the time; then, if you were lucky, they’d rush onto the scene, seek their glory in defeating villains and then vanish behind a screen of adoring-fans, TV cameras and fame… leaving the ordinary people behind to sift through the fragments of their broken lives themselves.
No one had saved him from the ruthless reality of being an orphan too old and too damaged to be adopted and no one gave a damn about the shady area ensconcing the care-centre he was raised in either, and so, he decides to give a damn.
What follows are the tales of Café Owner Aizawa who hasn’t adopted several kids, intimidated the local gangs, scared off the pimps and caused multiple villains and heroes to catch feels for him, no sir; he just serves drinks, provides decent food and helps struggling students with their homework.
It’d be irrational to think otherwise…

Summary
“My life is a nightmare,” Dabi muttered blankly.
“Nah, this is hilarious,” Hawks said, and while he wasn’t explicitly laughing, Dabi knew that those weird little chirps he was letting out were pointed at him. “Imagine if we go through all this effort and you don’t even have some sort of dramatic background or tragic backstory to justify you being this emo, you’re just a hot topic junkie or something.”
“That’s fucking worse.”
Or,
Dabi has amnesia and keeps reading conspiracy theories about himself in an attempt to figure out who he is, gets the League in on it, and they dismantle organized crime, revolutionize society, and ravage the hero system in the process. Hawks suffers.

Summary
Shouta Aizawa thinks there’s something off about Midoriya Izuku. He’s been thinking that since he saw the boy in his classroom, hunched over a seat, making himself as small as possible. Elbows tucked in close, calloused knuckles, and darting eyes.A crooked nose, the kind of odd, subtle little twist that gives the boy’s large green eyes a quirky flare. The kind of nose that was broken one too many times and hadn’t been set properly often enough.
That was not the behavior of someone with a ridiculously overpowered Quirk. That was especially not the behavior he’d seen during the exam footage, the footage of a green-haired teenager who was flashy and open and seemed to radiate power.
Illogical.
--
Or: Midoriya gets into vigilantism a little too early, with a Quirk more like his uncle's than his father's, and, frankly, half the time he's just along for the ride.

Bookmarker's Notes
Holy shit this was a wild ride, weaving canon characters with their new backstories in a way that makes sense but adds enough newness to be of interest. It's a story of recovery, in several ways, and it actually manages to feel realistic while leaving room for hope. It should be required reading, especially among like, authority figures.

Bakugou Katsuki likes to fight.
Well– he likes to win, actually. But a win is only worth a damn when you have to fight for it, and there’s only one person in this stupid class who actually can put up a fight against Katsuki. That’s why the guy makes a halfway decent sparring partner – Icyhot’s strong. Icyhot’s powerful. He makes every damn thing look effortless, but when Katsuki’s his opponent, he has to actually try for once.
So then– what the hell is he supposed to do when the half and half bastard stops trying?
Or: Bakugou and Todoroki have an arrangement to spar after school for stress relief. But when Todoroki starts looking and acting strangely, Bakugou starts to pay a little closer attention.

Summary
Aizawa refuses to let his Problem Child travel back in time alone, even to fix a future where All for One was the victor. They go back with a plan that's more of a list, spend a year technically missing, and become rather effective vigilantes that fix some rather serious problems. And then it's time to be found, which seems to primarily result in lots of support and many hugs. Neither Izuku or Aizawa complain very much.
