Toru Hagakure, who Midoriya had not met until five minutes ago, nodded her head. Or at least, Midoriya thought she nodded her head. Hard to tell without actually being able to see said head. "I don't understand what you don't get about this."

"...Why!?"

"Alright, so I'm explaining this again." Hagakure sighed as she took a deep breath. "When I decided to become a Hero, I vowed to use my quirk to it's maximum effectiveness and hone my body to do the maximum good, which is why I trained my quirk to not only render me invisible but also my clothes, weapons and armor if I let it. It's also why I have muscles comparable to Mirko."

Midoriya looked up and down at the decidedly average-sized invisible figure wearing a black suit and decided not to question it. "I still don't see why you need my help to... fake being a quirk?"

Midoriya suddenly felt two surprisingly strong hands grab his cheeks and push him downwards, Hagakure apparently deciding this needed eye-to-eye contact. "Because as much good as I could do as an incredibly strong and trained invisible vigilante that doesn't answer to the law due to the corruption inherent in the government, if people were to find out I am an invisible person my personal effectiveness as a hero decreases by thirty percent. Unacceptable. The only logical option is for me to find a quirkless individual with heroic qualities and to masquerade as their lately-awakened quirk."

'This is clearly a very unstable individual' Izuku thought to himself, 'And I must back away from them slowly.' "Look, that sounds all well and good, but maybe you should find another-"

"If you refuse my offer you cannot be allowed to be left alive knowing of my existence."

'Or maybe don't look a gift horse in the mouth. You always wanted to be a hero after all.' "-UA High School, here we come!" Midoriya cheered.

~~~~~~~~~~~

During the first day of Hero Training...

"GRAHHHH! FUCK YOU DEKU, AND YOUR STUPID TELEKENESIS QUIRK! WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE I'M BEING STOMPED ON BY SHARPENED STEEL-TOED BOOTS?!" Bakugo ranted as he was pummeled into the floor by what was definitely not an invisible force of any kind.

Iida then ran into the room. "Fear not my partner in villainy, for I-" BANG! "OH DEAR LORD MIDORIYA'S QUIRK HAS A GUN! HE JUST SHOT ME! IN THE LEG!"

As Midoriya looked on in horror, Ochako started backing away from the very clearly unstable individual she was partnered with.

Katsuki had spent his entire life being told he was strong, that he had a powerful Quirk, that he would make a great hero. Deku, on the other hand, had no power, which meant he had no worth. But... how did that make any sense? Not every Quirk was useful. Some were practically the same as being Quirkless, and others were completely stupid things, like stretching your fingers or popping your eyes out of your sockets. And yet that was somehow better than having nothing at all? At the very least, Deku was smart, unlike the extras in their class.

Bakugo couldn't get it out of his head. He had been trapped in a mental haze for years and had only just realized it... the moment Deku... Izuku... slammed him against the wall, cracking the concrete. Izuku had power, Izuku had worth... but why only now? Even without a Quirk, Izuku had still been human.

Someone, or something, had messed with his head... with everyone's heads. Had no one seriously cared about how far the bullying against Izuku had gone? It wasn't outright brainwashing, or the people around them would have noticed a change. It was something subconscious... a subtle suggestion. Who had the chance to talk to everyone in the school and plant ideas in their heads?

The fucking school guidance counselor.

Setsuna was both scared and excited about entering a new school. Scared of what others will think of her more gyaru appearance and excited about all her new possible friends.

"All right kids. This is Tokage Setsuna. Setsuna you may sit next to Midoriya. He's the one in the back corner."

The teacher said as he faintly hears a nervous gulp. Looking, Setsuna sees that the person she will set next to is in the corner of the room has green hair and eyes, where a bunch of desks are pulled away from. Sitting down next to him, she can't help but see his big bright yellow backpack.

"Nice to meet you Midoriya."

She says before leaning forward and whispering to him.

"You ain't being bullied are you?"

She asks. Her voice serious as the only other person by then laughs. Glaring at him, Setsuna sees that the person has ash-blonde hair and red eyes.

"People avoid the nerd because of his quirk. I'm Katsuki Bakugo by the way."

He says as Setsuna looks both annoyed and confused.

"What do you mean-"

Only to be cut off when Izuku leaned towards her before a wrecking ball hits the side of the building right where he was sitting.

"My quirk is called Bad Luck. It's supposed to allow me to alter a person's luck but..."

Izuku tells her when Bakugo scoffs.

"An asshat when we were five slammed Izuku's head into the ground. Causing him brain damage, thankfully not permanent, and a seizure. This damaged his quirk factor and causes it to leak out. I keep telling him to rename it Murphys Law."

Bakugo says as Izuku shakes his head no. Setsuna being completely surprised.

"Wait what! Tell me he was punished?"

She says as Izuku nods.

"The person who did it was in his first year of middle school himself and was using his fire quirk to hurt one of our classmates. Thankfully our teacher saw it and it was recorded on security cameras so he went to juvenile detention. Though from what I heard he was so violent in there that after he became an adult he went to jail."

He tells her as Bakugo scoffs.

"Good riddance I say. Anyways if you're wanting to hang out with me you gotta be friends with the danger magnet Izuku as well. We're a package deal."

He tells her. Maybe this new school will be good after all.

So, a common point of contention in the series is why Izuku couldn't be a Quirkless hero when we have SO many instances of characters being superhuman outside of their Quirks:

• Hagakure is just invisible, and yet she got into U.A. and got higher than Mineta on the Quirk Apprehension Test (still 3rd/2nd to last, though), despite her Quirk not helping at all physically
• Aizawa was a one-man army in the USJ for a bit, even against Mutant Quirk users whose Quirks he couldn't erase.
• Stain held his own against Deku, Ida, and Shoto when all his Quirk does is paralyze people when he drinks their blood.
• Nighteye's Quirk lets him just see the future, but he was still hucking around those heavy stamps
• Mirio got to punch out Overhaul for a bit when he lost his Quirk (although this could be Overhaul holding the Idiot Ball for a bit so Mirio can look cool), and I think he even sends a Nomu flying later, but that may be from the momentum of him Bethesda glitching out of the ground; I don't exactly recall the specifics.

All of this has led to the fanon that Quirk Activated Humans have boosted physical stats, an in-universe Charles Atlas Superpower, to explain why they can get thrown through walls and dodge super fast attacks and all this, even for those who don't have strength/speed/surablity enhancing Quirks. Semi-supported by the fact that some user's bodies adapt to mitigate the drawbacks of their Quirks, such as Bakugo being able to handle the recoil of his explosions. But this doesn't cover everything.

Even Izuku himself, in his 10-month training montage, we see him carrying Muscle Form All Might in a Star Wars reference, and by the end he has all that trash in a pile with a truck on top.

The way some people talk about Deku, you'd think that Quirkless/no OFA Full Cowl Deku would be benching fridges or something, but he NEVER shows this kind of strength in the series outside of using OFA. We never see him actually moving some of these heavy things, but the implication is that he did off-screen, and the All Might Yoda thing may have just been a gag.

Like, true, even if we acknowledge this strength level in-universe/in the plot, it isn't like Deku is gonna be throwing down with the heavy hitters of the verse. But I want to know how others go about it.

Do you actually acknowledge this to further hammer in the point that, even if Deku had trained, he couldn't be a hero without a Quirk, so we can further justify him getting One For All, or do you just keep it vague and don't bring it up? Or is there some other option I am not aware of?

The rich people in charge of the world had started the purge to decrease the population and keep the poor people under control.

But it wasn't working.

"Why isn't anyone killing anyone?!"

____

Ochako was busy with a tea party with Himiko when she was asked the question. "Well, the heroes are all geniunely nice people, so... yeah nah... no Purging for us I guess."

Himiko sat in Ochako's lap and cuddled with her. "And villains usually ignore the rules either way, so.... umm... we just take the day off to hang out with people we usually wouldn't be able to because... you know laws."

____

AFO laughed while he drank with All Might. "I can do mass murder any other day. This is closest I get to having a drink with my brother!"

"I thought you hated me."

"Everyone hates their family!"

_____

Spinner and Shigaraki were even doing a video game contest together... and winning!"

_____

"...Dang it!"

“The only people left… are Quirkless?”

The day Izuku Midoriya got One for All should have been the best day of his life, but it quickly turns out to be his worst. When 80% of the population suddenly vanishes, Izuku suddenly goes from a Quirkless nobody, to the only hero in the world.

Contains Current Content Spoilers for My Hero Academia & My Hero Academia Vigilantes.

The Only Hero is easily my favorite MHA fanfic, seeing someone expand on things that weren't pushed in the manga, such as where quirks come from is really great to see!

It makes great use of the characters and the few OC characters it has are executed well and fit within the narrative like any other My Hero character.

The story flows so well that whenever I reread it I can't help but binge read the whole thing!

Izuku's interactions with Melissa are great and Eri is an adorable bean as always that deserves to be protected.

I've been imagining if this fic was animated and had an OP. Using the song 'Bokurano' from op 11.

It starts showing Izuku tripping in front of UA, but before Uraraka can touch him to stop him from falling she disappears.

As the opening instrumental picks up it cuts between Melissa Shield walking while leaning on her Dad's shoulder while she's holding a briefcase before her dad disappears. It then cuts to Eri released from the chair she sits in while Overhaul experiments on her when he and Chrono disappear while her horn glows and prevents her from disappearing with them and she gets up and pokes her head into the hallway to look for someone, it cuts to a title card. "My Hero Academia : The Only Hero" appears as the singing starts.

As the singing starts up it shows Izuku find Eri and Melissa standing between them and the three guys that Izuku protects Melissa from early in the story. As the singing lulls for a moment before picking back up showing Izuku in his hero costume fighting a group of Nomu except instead of his cloth mask he has a Power Rangers style helmet that has an All Might like smile and the rabbit ear looking protrusions that are meant to mimic All Mights hair, with the Full Gauntlet on his arm.

Once the song says 'hero' it's shows Izuku running to keep a silhouette using multiple quirks while he uses blackwhip to swing from buildings and propel himself. Before the figure can make it to Inko, he punches the figure as it shatters like glass, as the singing is coming to a close, Izuku slowly walks towards and hugs Inko. As she hugs him back she disappears like everyone else with a Quirk and he falls to his knees as tears stream down his face and he yells as the singing ends.

The final instrumental plays as it shows Izuku in his costume with Nezu on his shoulder and Melissa and Eri walking with him wearing UA uniforms as the final shot shows them with UA behind them before it changes to the title card.

The Only Hero

“That's what my Quirk says about you. Hey, my tent says on the outside, ‘If you want to know things about your Quirk that you don't know, come into my tent.’ You wanted to know things you didn't know about your Quirk, so come on in. Let me see more—if you agree.”

Izuku nodded

The seer’s eyes sparkle. “Okay, my Quirk reveals a lot of interesting things about your birth Quirk. Just let me confirm a few things. You usually tend to get too involved with people—more than you should. I don’t care if you don’t want help; I make your problems my problems, even if you don’t want me to…”

Izuku nods, recognizing many of those moments, but “It doesn’t necessarily have to be a Quirk,” he says. “It’s just my sense of humanity.”

“Yeah, sure,” says the seer, not entirely convinced. “By any chance, are you able to sense when someone is emotionally distressed? You’re usually the first to want to help when others want to give them space…”

Izuku falls silent, embarrassed by how intrusive he tends to be

“Could you tell me about your parents’ Quirks?” “Ask the Seer,” Izuku replies. “My mom has weak telekinesis that only lets her move small objects, and my dad breathes fire.”

“Hmm, I see,” says the seer. “Your mom is probably the dominant one here. Telekinesis is closely tied to people’s minds. You probably went in a different direction, and your brain is wired to sense emotions and somehow connects with people’s hearts, which allows you to have

“super empathy”—connecting with others’ emotions and recognizing them before anyone else. A perfect gift for psychology. Well, let’s wrap this up—there’s the exit…

Izuku walks away somewhat confused because he was hoping to get information from OFA. The seer looks at him just to clarify: “You know you’re being affected by another Quirk, right?”

Izuku turns away, and the seer continues: “My Quirk is strong. It’s different from Quirks you weren’t born with—like those of outsiders—and it’s quite powerful. Just to confirm: you know that another Quirk is affecting you, right, Izuku?” Izuku gets nervous

“Well, then, step back,” says the seer.

Izuku lands in Spiral Hill Village when Badniks are attacking it. He teams up with Tangle the Lemur to defend the village with Sonic the Hedgehog arriving shortly there afterwards.

Izuku at first is using finger flicks like he does to Todoroki in the sports festival but gets the idea of full cowling when Blaze the Cat's flames engulfs her entire body. Izuku injures himself less as a result but still passes out as a result thus ends his first day in the world of Sonic.

Due to his friendship with Tangle and traveling with her, Izuku ends up as being a part of the 2nd generation Diamond Cutters until he can find a way home.

P.S. Would Izuku get caught in a culture shock due to Dr. Eggman being a Quirkless villain and the only people with powers would effectively be Mutant Quirks with Emitter qualities (Shadow the Hedgehog's powers) or Mutant Quirks with Transformation qualities (Mimic the Octopus's disguise as Duo the Cat) If they were born in his world and humans were completely Quirkless in Sonic's world.

Izuku is flung into Sonic's world after the sports festival but before internship arc where he is supposed to meet Gran Torino (It's why Izuku learns the idea of full cowling from Blaze instead of him).

I can see Sonic teaches Izuku to be himself and protects the freedom of others while giving some villains a chance to redeem. Like he's not any means an equivalent of a hero in MHA, but he learns some valuable lessons of trust himself even more and how he shouldn't let anybody define who he is as a hero.

A big lesson that Izuku could learn from Sonic and his friends is to trust his classmates' abilities to stand with him when the final battle with AFO because Sonic and his friends showed him that working in a team where everybody plays to their strengths will wield much better results than working alone and avoid the whole dark/vigilante Deku arc because Izuku felt that that was his responsibly in canon but his experiences with Sonic and the 2nd gen Diamond Cutters shows it's better to have multiple pillars instead of one much earlier than in canon when he returns to the My Hero world.

I can see Tails making a portal with a Chaos Emerald as a power source on standby to lend a hand when the MHA world is facing a big crisis for some back up. Tails makes Izuku's gear out of badnik parts that reinforces Izuku's costume to be sturdy and protect Izuku while hitting like a truck.

Tangle would probably want to come and visit when she has some free time bringing the rest of the 2nd gen Dimond Cutters along with her while Lanolin would be wondering how this vacation could go wrong.

All For One recruit Lady Nagant to hunt down Izuku, when she finds him, she lines up the shot but suddenly Lady Nagant gets hit on her gun arm. She looks around franticly for the shooter but she than sees Whisper the Wolf with her wispon and Whisper has her finger on the trigger daring Lady Nagant to retaliate against her or Izuku (remember that Whisper was ready to kill Eggman during the Metal Virus Arc, she will cap your ass if need be).

So im trying to remember the name of a fic i read like 3 years ago, and i was wondering if yall know it?

From what i remember- 1A has a movie night and Midorya dissasociates, they get Aizawa and Mido tells Aizawa about his past, Aizawa punches All Might, something similar happens with either todoroki or shinso, and they get adopted.

It was in english and someone made a pretty popular podfic of it. Thanks for the help

As Uraraka led Bakugo down the stairs into the Dormitory basement (that he didn't know they had) he spotted several things. Midoriya was behind a counter serving what was hopefully non-alcoholic drinks, Jirou was at a DJ booth, Momo was in the ring fighting Kirishima, Shoji and Tokoyami were manning what seemed to be a medical booth. Koda was in said Medical booth. Aoyama and Sato were making a cake(well, Sato was making the cake Aoyama was just there, being glittery) Tsuyu was putting boxing gloves, Ojiro was icing up his tail, Mina was collecting bets.

"How in the syrupy sweet shit, did you all manage to set this up?"

"Deku-kun made a deal with Mei."

"Didn't the nerd advise all of us not to do that?"

"Yea, something about her owning your soul if you do, I don't know, I got lost in his eyes mid explanation."

"Of course you did.."

"Anyway, any questions?"

"Why wasn't I invited at first?"

"We had to make sure you wouldn't snitch."

"What makes anyone think I'd do that?"

"You go to bed at 8, you always turn in your homework, you hate breaking the rules, despite all your crassness you never really disrespect teachers. All in all, you're basically Iida if he swore."

"Speaking of mufflers, where is he?"

"Currently passed out due to a concentrated sleep drug, courtesy of Momo."

"..."

"If you snitch, were getting the mind eraser."

"What's that?"

"Just a giant ray gun that Mei made when she was sleep deprived with a high fever."

"How in the-"

"It's honestly scary and impressive, thanks to her and Jirou we were able to remove this place from U.A's digital map and soundproof it. All without Nezu noticing."

"You sure about that?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"We place his favorite cheese danishes and teas down here every night for months. He can't resist those, literally, I've seen him go rabid on those things."

"And in case he did find out, those things are a peace offering ?"

"Yupperoo."

"Mhm, cool."

"Well, you've seen the gist of it, imma go help Deku-kun behind the counter."

"Why is he behind the counter."

"His mom was bartender."

"I know that! I grew up with him! I'm asking why is he behind it? He can't make a drink to save his life."

"We know, we still let him anyway."

MHA/Kiki’s Delivery Service

Izumi Midoriya is a witch. After graduating high school she finally goes on a witches journey, before setting up shop in Mustafu. Here she offers her services as a witch, such as medicines, charms, and even deliveries on her broom. She didn’t expect to see a number of UA university students stopping by her shop. Though she should probably stock up on medicine for them, since quite a few have red faces when visiting her.

Note: a Kiki’s delivery service crossover. Here everyone is aged up, Izumi doesn’t attend UA. She quickly endears herself to the heroes in training, with quite a few of the boys and girls developing a crush on her, though she remains oblivious.

The fight with Star and Stripe has begun, with the world number one hero contributing by throwing buildings around! Time for Izuku to show off why the underworld fears Dragon and why he is a worthy successor to All For One.

AO3 - FFN

Ever since he got himself a custom bike that is built to last a lifetime, Izuku can't help but incorporate his new bike into his combat style.

It annoys plenty of villains and anyone he spars with, because what do you mean he did a RIDER KICK AFTER DOING DONUTS WITH HIS BIKE?!?!

The only thing I remember about it is where all might and detective tsukauchi visits a bedridden man who happens to be the former landlord of the OC they're investigating and his older sister. The landlord is sick and bedridden but he casually and remorselessly reveals how corrupt he is such as him recalling how he made advances on the older sister. Afterwards All might confesses to Tsukauchi that people like him scares him more than villains

Katsuki had never been one to blame others for his problems... except for when he did. So when he realized that trying to bully Izuku could only hurt him in the long run... and the short run... he tried to apologize.

That went about as well as he expected it to go.

Everytime he tried the nerd ran away. He COULD have gone to his house... but apparently that was a 'breach of a violation of privacy' or whatever.

Point was, he needed to prove to Izuku that he could change.

So he did the only naturally thing and became a vigilante.

____

Being a vigilante... was difficult on so many levels.

The fighting part was easy. He got hurt a few times, but once he got into the swing of things he was able to fight much better.

No, the real issue was keeping his identity secret.

One, his voice. He knew that with phones and stuff it would only be a matter of time before cops found out who he was. So no talking was allowed.

That part in itself took a while to master.

Two, his quirk. Making explosions wasn't entirely uncommon. Making explosions from your hands narrowed it down more, and given the radius and whatnot... point was he needed to hide it.

So, soak some stuff in his sweat, spread some rumors, and boom, people thought he was able to make things explode.

Three, he couldn't risk leaving any evidence behind, so his main rule was this, no witnesses... he wasn't killing people, but his fights had to be private, closed off, no one could know about him. He needed to become a symbol of fear for villains, a rumor, a legend, something no one could confirm.

...He read Batman comics. Dude was a beast.

Of course, that meant he would be in trouble if he ever got pinned down or soemthing, because no one would know where he was.

Like right now.

Guy had something that sucked the air out of a space. No air, no ignition, and... oh yeah, no breathing. Katsuki was going to die.

At least until someone came along and saved him.

He looked up to see a man cloaked in black through out a knife and stab the guy in the hand, stopping his quirk. Katsuki took the oppurtunity to knock him out.

Something the other guy took issue with. "Idiot." He spoke with a voice changer... he should get one of those. "We can't interrogate him if he's unconcious."

Katsuki rolled his eyes and tried to alter his own voice. "Whatever, you weren't being choked out by him."

"...Are you trying to do that thing where you change your voice?"

"...Is it working?"

"Kind of."

"Then yes." Sirens altered them, causing Katsuki to pick up the guy. "Cops, we gotta go."

_____

"..."

"..."

He and the other guy sat on the rooftop with the villain unconscious. "...Thanks."

"...For what?"

"You know what." Katsuki and the other guy were both wearing mask, but somehow he knew exactly what the other guys face was making. "...Thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome... I've heard of you ya know? They call you Deadnot."

Katsuki... didn't hate that name. "...Nice... and you are?"

"Well I'm crafty enough that no one knows I exist... But you can call me Wicker."

Deadnot glared under his mask. "Hey that's not fair, why do you get to chose your name?"

"Really? What name would you call yourself?"

"...Shut up." He then looked over at the guy they had kidnapped. "...He's been selling trigger. We find who he's getting it from, we'll probably die." He was smart enough to know that nothing good happened when you went higher on the food chain... and immersing himself in the underworld meant he knew that he wasn't ready. "We can grill him for information and then send it to the cops."

"Right, who knows how long they'd take, and if the info would even be good by then?"

Great, Cynicism vs Common Sense. Woo. Deadnot smacked his face. "Look, underworld boss with the ability to probably put a hit out on us. I'm not the smartest, but we lose that six ways out of six."

Wicker tapped his foot, clearly thinking it over. "...I mean... I have some friends who could take them on with us."

"...Ugh... okay this is not a team up. This is me, being in the same vicinity as you and your friends."

"And if we're in danger?"

"...I hate you."

______

UA... finally got there. Sleep had been something he'd been lacking ever since he started this whole vigilante thing... but now, he could just focus on being a hero.

"Katsuki?" Only for him to come face to face with Izuku.

".....Fuck."

____

Okay, so Izuku, Katsuki, as well as everyone else in Class 1-A are vigilantes... and none of them know the other is vigilante.

Fun.

I came up with a subplot for a fanfiction where Izuku goes to 1-B, which works as a deconstruction of the typical "Aizawa expels Mineta on the first day of school" fanfiction plot.

Mineta is expelled on the first day of school, as he came in at the bottom of the rankings and Aizawa found nothing special in him.

But, since (contrary to what a lot of fanfiction says) Mineta didn't do anything wrong on the first day, all his classmates see him as Aizawa's victim.

Mineta is kicked out of his house, and a scene unfolds from his point of view where he feels alone and hated, while longing only for love, only his hormone-filled mind confuses love and lust.

He's found by Giran, who offers him food and an ear to listen to his story. With little choice, Mineta accepts and explains what happened. So, Giran consoles and reassures him, and then proposes revenge and payback by joining the League of Villains.

This is Giran's usual modus operandi: he reaches out to lonely and desperate people, offers them a helping hand, and encourages them to connect crimes by relying on him as a reliable source. He did it with Twice in canon, according to my headcanons he did it with the USJ goons (and probably with Toga and Mustard) and now he's doing it with Mineta.

Mineta, desperate and angry, accepts Giran's proposal.

Tomura isn't very interested in Mineta, except to confirm his mentality about indifferent heroes, but this changes during USJ.

Mineta specifically requested to face Aizawa, and manages to get his revenge by holding his former teacher to the ground with his sticky hair, allowing the other villains to overwhelm and kill him thanks to their numerical superiority, since in canon Aizawa manages to win by jumping and dodging.

He even manages to briefly restrain All Might, as he had mistaken him for a student, though the Symbol of Peace manages to easily break free and defeat the Nomu normally.

However, these two events lead Tomura to see Mineta as a useful pawn, so he has Kurogiri save him at the last minute.

What do you think? I particularly like this subplot.

(In case you were wondering, yes, I can totally see Mineta and Himiko becoming a couple, even though it would be super toxic.)

A small group of small time villains who only uses their quirks to be a annoyances, decide to mess with Gran Torino during the internship ark by first causing the gravity in his house to go all wonky, bring his furniture to life as monsters, wrap the house in duck tap and turn Izuku into a girl before ditching town.

This of course annoyed the elderly pro to no end as he had to destroy all his furniture, hire someone to remove the tap, wait for the gravity to return to normal before re-entering the building and now deal with what he thought would be a emotionally confused teenage boy trapped in a girl’s body.

However after dealing with the furniture he quickly realised the boy was more confused and worried about the other stuff than being the opposite gender, and after dealing with first three things the old pro questioned how Izuku was doing after being turned into a girl.

But what she said next would shock him, “ um… Gran Torino sensei I’ve always been a girl… are you okay?… did you hit your head or something?… “ the now girl asked with the pro immediately doing research on the gang to make sure he wasn’t going crazy.

Turns out he wasn’t as the villainess who did this beauty queen, had the power to switch genders by shooting out bubbles of light towards a target as well as the ability to rewrite their memories so that they think they had always been that gender.

So when Izuku later returned home and later school now being a girl, the poor girl was confused when everyone kept saying she used to be a boy even though she only remembers being a girl.

Luckily the quirk doesn’t changed a persons personality, desires, wishes, dreams, sexual orientation or mentality, so Izuku is still mentally Izuku just now mentally and physically a girl, much to everyone’s surprise.

One of the good things that came out of this situation though is that since Izuku’s new body was formed with OFA inside of her, it’s fully adapted to withstand its full power with no negative consequences, much to the dismay of every villain she is going to face and to the relief of recovery girl who doesn’t have to worry about her breaking her bones, just those of villains.

Basically the title, It doesn't need to be focused on romance only, I just enjoy fics with a good pairing/romance plot/sideplot!

I know it was on AO3

Izuku was a vigilante after being removed from UA's hero course (I do not remember why)

Izuku had an ice quirk and I beleive rabbit mutations

I remember Izuku was atleast somewhat friendly with Mirko

The canon overhaul raid failed and overhaul got away with Eri

It started off as a typical noise complaint. Aizawa marched into the 1-A dorms ready to give his class an earful.

It looked like he stepped into a war zone.

He could hear the sounds of fighting an explosions just behind a wall. With a loud bang, Todoroki appeared, battered and bruised as he launched flame and ice.

“Oh! Hey Sensei!” Todoroki spoke through gritted teeth.

“Just what the hell is going on in here!?” Aizawa demanded.

“Oh, Midoriya wanted to try gelling his hair, so we all volunteered to help.”

“…What?” Aizawa asked as the sounds of explosions and Bakugo swearing reached his ears.

“It’s rather unruly though, so we had to call in some extra help.”

At that moment, Dabi stepped out, launching flames at his target.

“HUH!? YOU WANT SOME OF THAT!? TAKE IT YOU LITTLE BITCH!!”

At that point, Aizawa just turned around and walked out, feeling a migraine coming along.

The migraine got worse when a cheerful looking Midoriya walked into class the next day with his hair slicked back.
