He Lied by Dr_I_Know_All

Summary
From a young age, Izuku had to hide his quirk. At first, he did it because his dad asked him to, because it was something special that he shared with him. It wasn't too long before he started hiding it in shame. When he finally meets his idol, All Might, Izuku decides he can't live like that anymore. He has to take down his villainous father, All for One, no matter how much it hurts.
Basically, I looked at some fan theories about Dr Tsubasa, All for One, and Izuku and then decided, 'Hey, I want to make a fic!"
The first arc is finished! And it can be read as a standalone fic. But why do that when there's more?

Summary
Midoriya Izuku wasn't special, and he didn't stand out in the slightest.
But the day he met All Might, something changed.
Now he's very special.
It might be more than he bargained for.
Alternatively, the one where Midoriya's Quirk is a watered-down version of a certain evil someone's.

Summary
It's decided then, says First. I'm transferring the quirk.
For the record, this is a terrible idea. Third slumps back in his seat.
There's an abrupt shift in perspective, and now they're back on the rooftop with the kid.
I hate democracy. This from Eigth's shadow.
Or.
The vestiges democratically elect the next One for All user. They do not inform All Might of their decision.

Summary
The hero system was well over a century old and shared the same vintage as its most dedicated opponent. There had to be more to it. In hindsight, Izuku writing that article on the government without the full story hadn't been his best idea.

Identity Crisis by LiteralPieceOfTrash

Summary
Izuku can deal with broken bones. Broken bones are easy. You go to the nurse’s office, receive treatment for about a week or so, and then, the problem is officially solved. Well, okay, maybe it isn’t that simple. But it’s still much simpler than dealing with broken memories.
Something is wrong with One For All. Very, very wrong. And now, inexplicably, Izuku can’t tell his own memories apart from those of its vestiges, a condition which only seems to be worsening with time.
This wouldn’t be quite so bad on its own, but with All For One suddenly on the loose, and his father returning for the first time in years after months of radio silence… suffice to say, Izuku is a bit overwhelmed. But he can handle it. Or at least that’s what he keeps telling himself.

If Quirkless discrimination was a little bit worse, and if Izuku wasn't as forgiving...
Well.
(Featuring: All Might's Absolutely Horrible Teaching™, a slightly more self-aware Izuku, the League Of Villains, very little forgiveness, and a lot of traumatized kids.)

Summary
“I do sympathize with Ninth. I have a shellfish allergy too.” Yoichi confided.
“So do I actually.” Banjo said.
“Me too.”
“Me too.”
The last ones to add on were Nana and En, sounding as perplexed as all of them felt.
Everyone looked at Hikage.
“Oh I never had shellfish.”
“How.”
“Acquiring shellfish was not high on my list of priorities at the time.” Hikage said stiffly.
Banjo raised an eyebrow. “What was on your list of priorities then?”
“Strengthening One for All and not dying at the hands of All for One?”
“Oh right, I forgot about that.”
Hikage gave him an incredulous look. “How-”“Hey Nana.” Yoichi said conversationally. “Do you happen to know if Eighth has a shellfish allergy?”
(Quirks aren't the only thing One for All is stockpiling and passing down.)
