    Summary

    Izuku didn’t know what happened, really. One minute, he’s chasing down a purse snatcher after finishing his work study patrol, weaving through the few people still left on the street in his pursuit. The next thing he knows, he’s dizzy and lying face down on the ground.

    Or

    Izuku is hit with a quirk, turning him into a cat. He's lucky Eraserhead found him; he'll surely know it's him, right?
    And how long will this quirk last?

    Summary

    On paper, the Hero Commission's plan to investigate Midoriya Izuku under the guise of a training course for combating mental quirks is solid; foolproof, even. If Midoriya turns out to be innocent, they can pass everything off as part of the training exercise, assuming he remembered any of it. Otherwise, they could beg forgiveness after the traitor was securely imprisoned in Tartarus.

    The paper plan failed to take into account the feral ghosts living in Midoriya Izuku's head, or his equally feral living friends.

    Time to bring on the chaos.

    Summary

    Quirkless

    Synonyms: Worthless. Useless. Nobody. Deku.

    In which Midoriya decides to take Bakugou's advice to heart, only to be saved at the last possible moment by an unexpected passerby.

    09/23 Update: This fic is not technically on hiatus, but I am going back and editing the chapters since I never actually did that when I wrote the thing. Mostly just grammar things, but a few plot points will be moved around or changed to make the story easier to comprehend for me to continue to write. Will probably still upload chapters when I have the time and patience to sit and actually write them. Thank you all for being so understanding! <3

    Summary

    The brighter the light, the darker the shadows. And in a super-powered society, those shadows are dark indeed. But whilst the world desperately trained more and more heroes, making that light brighter and brighter, the prestigious hero school, UA, had another idea. Why not tackle the problem at its source?

    And so was born the infamous class 1-A. Would-be criminals from all over the country were selected, and a group of twenty now roam the halls of the school, alongside the heroes of the next generation.

    Last year, the entirety of Mr Aizawa’s class A graduated. But this year was different. No, he didn’t believe they would all graduate back into society like the classes before them. He believed they could become something bigger. That was why, with gritted teeth and a manic smile, Eraser Head turned to his new class of students and said:

    "You aren't villains - you never were, and you never will be. But you can take that fire inside of you and put it to good use. We're in a hero school, aren't we? Well then...

    "Let's be heroes."

    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.
