    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya had always been an odd boy.

    Everyone knows about the muttering, the endless analysis. But only his mother knew how much he loved the dark. How safe it was. How it was the only thing that didn't leave.

    But the dark couldn't do much to stop a quirkless diagnosis. Or could it?

    OR: After manifesting a stress-induced quirk (thanks to Inko's wonderful parenting of course), a series of events leads Izuku to becoming a ward of UA, and TA to our future class of hero hopefuls where he will help guide them with his family/staff, and maybe finally make a friend his age instead of spending his lunches playing chess with a chaotic rat god

    Summary

    At a young age like many Izuku Midoriya develops a quirk, one that triumphs all others, making him immune to any other quirk for better or for worse.

    But can you become a hero with a quirk such as that? Unable to work or touch another hero? He believed not, changes his profession to fight others for money.

    He made a name for himself, and was happy with it. Until something changes one night, when he decides to help someone, someone who doesn't find his quirk as a curse.

    And from that point on, Izuku's life gets more interesting.

    Summary

    He was about to decline, when a thought popped into his head. What if, in his efforts to bring down hero society, he had one of the most powerful quirks ever recorded? Quirks were tools, after all. It would be a great addition to his arsenal against the system.
    And the irony. Using the Number One Hero’s quirk against the heroes? Oh, that was perfect!
    He hid the feral grin that tried to form on his lips, and instead forced his face to make the most determined expression possible.
    “I’ll do it!”

    ~~~

    Midoriya Izuku was a hero fanboy, all the way. He still had his doubts over how perfect heroes were, but that didn't stop him from dreaming! Even if he was quirkless, and everyone said he couldn't, he still hoped he could become a hero.
    All that changed the day his best friend told him to jump off a roof, his Hero crushed his dreams, and all his faith in hero society shattered.
    He now had a new dream. If society said he couldn't be a hero, he would be the one to destroy it, instead.
    And what better way to bring down a system, than from within?

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku had endured everything life threw at him. Being called weak and a worthless ‘Deku’, bullied and tormented, all because he was Quirkless.
    Yet he still dared to dream of becoming a Hero.

    Walking home one day, he encounters a man... a man claiming to be his father.
    A man who tells him how he can get a Quirk from none other than All Might, the Symbol of Peace, himself.
    A man who tells him the nasty truth about Hero Society.

    And 6 years prior, Todoroki Touya saved his siblings.
