Summary
“Can I ever hope to become someone like you?”
A flash of freckles. Bright green eyes, brimming with hope and admiration. His name… Midoriya Izuku. Yes. Young Midoriya. The quirkless boy he had met months earlier. A boy without a quirk, without a background, but with ambition. A dream… one Yagi had shattered with his own hands.
The truth is, they had been alike at that age. Quirkless. Naïve and desperate. Yagi could have entrusted One For All to him, just as his master had once entrusted it to Yagi. The boy had the instincts of a hero.
Someone like Midoriya Izuku could have become the new Symbol of Peace… but he won’t.
___
Or: an AU in which All Might is slightly more self-depreciating than in canon, and hears rumors of All For One’s return far earlier. He cannot bring himself to entrust One For All to another quirkless successor. He failed once. This time, the future Number One has to be more than a Symbol, he needs to be ruthless.
