Summary
Aizawa's thrumming fingers froze, any aggravation in his tone making way for hardened disbelief. “That’s impossible. I have the message. It’s from the same automated number as usual. There were no other pros on the scene. …what are you implying?”
“Nothing! I’m not implying you would do anything unprofessional, Eraserhead, I assure you! It’s just that I’m looking through our messages now and no one at our agency reached out to you last night. If you do have a message, it…it wasn’t from us.”
Aizawa brought up a hand to rub at his brow. That made absolutely no sense at all.
“Who would bother doing something like that?”
After being told he couldn't be a hero without a quirk, Izuku joins the support course at UA High. He's determined to learn everything he can. To take matters into his own hands.
Because in the end, isn't that what makes someone a hero?

Summary
Izuku had been instructed to follow the rules to the letter. They (the police, the school, the Pros; take your pick) were keeping tabs on his every move. His devices were tagged, his school work looked over with a fine tooth comb. And he was fine with that. Really.
So when news of a little girl in trouble falls into his lap...well, to say it puts his new guardians on edge is putting it lightly.
Not that that was going to stop him from inserting himself into the situation at the first opportunity.

Summary
“I dunno, Deku. You gonna be able to keep up?” Katsuki threw an arm across his chest, stretching the muscles of his shoulder as a competitive smirk crept across his face. Izuku straight up laughed. The sound of it dropped Katsuki’s smile at once.
“I think the better question is: will you be able to keep up with me.”
Deku Agency has its first official "meeting".

Summary
“Uhm…Kacchan?”
“What?” Katsuki asked shortly.
Izuku’s head tilted. “You…what are you…is—“ He used his pen to scratch at his hairline. “Is everything okay?”
“Why wouldn’t it be.”
Izuku dropped his notebook slightly and raised an eyebrow.
“Oh, well…I don’t know. You’re just…” In that moment he was hit with a sudden realization. A smirk, quiet and smug, began to creep across his face as he slipped his pen behind his ear.
“Kacchan…did you come down here just to hang out with me?”
--
Izuku and Katsuki are both nerds who like to make stuff. That's it that's the fic.

Summary
Izuku grinned. He took a couple of steps back and hopped eagerly on the balls of his feet to hype himself up, then started off at a run towards the edge of the building. Instead of aiming for the next roof or throwing out his wires to brace himself, he plummeted straight down and landed in front of the two men in a crouch. A red glow from the bottom of his red shoes, the soles of which were lined with a thin, black metal around the outside, faded within a cloud of dirt and dust as he settled against the ground.
The men stopped, including the one in the hold who’d been struggling against his captor, and stared. Still smiling, Izuku straightened up slowly.
“Sorry, but I’m going to have to ask you to let him go.”
“Yeah? And I’m going to have to ask that you beat it.”
Izuku's smile faltered as he turned slightly to look behind him. Five—no, six men seemed to melt from out of the shadows.
No way it could go badly.

Izuku has been running his own agency for several months. He's taken hit after hit, visited the hospital more times than anyone could count, and made his parents worry near constantly. But for the first time, Izuku might have taken things too far.

Summary
There was a play…it just involved him not getting to sleep for another hour, at least. Maybe even longer. He thought about dismissing it out of hand, but one more look at Izuku’s sleep-deprived expression told him everything he needed to know. Izuku needed the rest more.
Plus, it'd probably be pretty funny.
“I have some work I need you to do. On my gauntlets.” Katsuki said, walking around the table and standing over Izuku with his arms crossed. “Tonight.”
--
Tasked with keeping up his grades, developing his own support equipment, and training to help him on the road to becoming a Hero, Izuku is doing...a lot. Arguably too much. Katsuki decides to help him out, for once.
