Madam Nighteye

by Lady_of_War_and_Heartache

Sasaki Mirai knew the future. Many thought that would be a given with a quirk like Foresight. But how does an anxiety-riddled, resting-bitch-faced, type-A-personalitied, underground hero tell the world that it's actually because she was reborn into one of her favorite animes?Answer: she doesn't. Instead, she tries (and fails) to stick to canon, forges herself a found family out of civilians, heroes, and baby villains alike, and prays to God Nedzu that it all works out for the best.Or: a self-insert really wants to take a backseat and watch canon continue from a distance, but that's hard to do when she keeps stumbling over distressed kids and adding them to her found family like a dragon adding gold to its hoard.Featuring: an author exposing themselves, paperwork, and a fumbling All Might trying to navigate having shared custody with an underground hero.

We Are Here: The Emerald Spark

by Lord_Raine

Being told by his idol that he can be a hero was the greatest thing that had ever happened in Midoriya Izuku’s life. In fact, it was so incredible and amazing that it compelled him to do something that he had been taught from an early age to NEVER do. He asked his teacher a question.Or: Izuku decides to ask Toshinori to teach him how to use One For All while he’s cleaning up the beach. This prompts Toshinori to realize that he actually can’t really do that. So he reluctantly calls Gran Torino and gets him to help train and supervise Izuku’s ten month American Dream Plan for entering UA. Now with it's own TvTropes page!

All but One

by aconstantstateofbladerunner

Toshinori is given the opportunity to undo over two decades of suffering by going back in time and ending All For One. And that’s just the beginning.

Based on a bittersweet post by @skygemspeaks and @autisticmight[If you see this fic anywhere that isn’t the official AO3 website, it’s stolen.]

The Wails in the Walls

by aconstantstateofbladerunner

Toshinori was convinced his cottage was haunted from the day he moved in. He could easily blame the missing objects and little bites in his food on pests, but that wouldn’t explain the faint sound of crying some nights.Borrower AU inspired by @abyssal-glory/noxes[If you see this fic anywhere that isn’t the official AO3 website, it’s stolen.]

Parent-Teacher Meetings

by Quirkless

At first Inko Midoriya had been surprised by the notion of All Might bothering to travel to her home, in person, to give weekly updates on Izuku's progress. “Isn't that something teachers usually write in an email?!” were her exact words, after she recovered from dropping the phone.Meanwhile, Toshinori Yagi finds that fulfilling this new mission might end up being more deeply personal an affair than he expected...

Some Have Greatness Thrust Upon Them

by AisforAmy71

An AU what-if that explores what would happen if All Might lost his first big confrontation with All for One. When All Might is fatally injured after his battle with All For One, nine year old Midoriya Izuku forcibly receives One For All, unbeknownst to anyone...not even Izuku. It will be up to Inko and Gran Torino and as many favors as they can pull in to keep the boy safe from his new quirk until he can learn to use it, or until a suitable vessel can be found. With the Symbol of Peace out of the picture, the world just became a much more confusing place for everyone.

Your True Name Is

by Araminthe_Ispwitch

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

by BedheadAries

Trailer voice: (YES IT IS IMPERATIVE YOU READ IT AS SUCH)All Might is the greatest superhero of all time. He carries a great destiny. For years and years, he's faced his mortal nemesis All for One. All for One is the greatest supervillain of all time. Watch as they both face their greatest challenge yet: fatherhood.Izuku: *baby cries*Real Summary:To be fair, All for One did not know what the quirk does. It was taken at a moment of impulse. Usually, he’d really strategically think about what quirks to put in his arsenal. But at that moment, it simply looked very pretty. And well, without anyone acting as his impulse control… what did they really expect?So no, he did not know anything about the quirk.But he knew it was extremely powerful.And desperate, well, he used it in a fight against All Might.Better summary:Accidental Baby Acquisition is a quirk.

Among Us (Video Game)+1

Among Darkness

by tunafishprincess

They say space was the last frontier, that everyone worth their salt could make something of themselves out there.Izuku used to believe the age-old adage, dreaming of adventure amongst the stars. That was before he lost his mother, or perhaps even earlier when he discovered his Quirklessness. He was here now, however. Sure, it wasn't the way he would have chosen, yet in a way, it was proof that he still held on that same hope, that same belief of making another step towards his dream, though it has been tempered by the bitter taste of reality. A black smear would forever be painted across the colorful canvas that was his mind space. But that was before all this. Back when they thought there were nine crewmen.
