    Summary

    Shouta’s plan had been ill-defined and desperate from the start, but he figures the important shit boiled down to, “Change as little as possible, make sure Midoriya doesn’t get himself killed, and stock up on lychee jelly pouches because that flavor got discontinued three years from now.” Keeping it simple’s always better, and he’s normally good at improvising.

    Somewhere along the way, he must’ve fucked up since now he has:

    A quirkless problem child hanging off of his every word

    His best friend going through a sexuality crisis thanks to said problem child’s mom

    His other best friend clinging to him like a security blanket

    Some two-bit mob boss threatening him with bouquets of daffodils

    To wring the number one hero’s fucking neck for not telling him anything useful before sending him decades into the past

    All he did was walk Izuku Midoriya home. It wasn’t meant to turn into whatever mess this is.

    Summary

    Danny’s looking at him like he’s crazy. His hair’s dried up into a mess of waves, and there’s some tomato seeds on the corner of his mouth. “You just bailed me out of jail. And you think this is a good idea?”

    “I don’t have bad ideas, Fenton. And like you’ve just said, I have collateral on you.”

    “So you’re blackmailing me into pretending to date you?”

    Tim shrugs. “Or you could just sign the NDA.”

     

    OR

     

    Danny's trying to recover all the shards to an entity's chalice so that it'll stop destroying the zone while tensions rise amongst his subjects- and trying to finish high school.

    Tim's juggling his case load, his work as CEO, and does not have time to be embroiled in a sex scandal right now. If that means he has to pretend to date a very suspicious heir to a rival company, then so be it.

    It's a mutually beneficial relationship. So what if Tim's becoming a little too intrigued by the illusive, powerful Phantom? So what if Danny can't stand the Justice League for leaving him to deal with all of Amity's problems when he was just 14? That's a superhero thing.

    And their fake boyfriend has no clue that they're a superhero.

    Summary

    Izuku wanted a lot of things.

    To not be quirkless, to save lives, for Kacchan to act like his friend again.

    But as the years went by, none of these things happened, until he started running into the now-graduated class of 1-A.

    Or,

    Izuku listens to Kacchan's bullying and doesn't apply to U.A. He still wants to save lives.

    So instead of becoming a pro-hero, he becomes a paramedic.

    Summary

    Maybe one day he'd be unafraid to tell people that he existed. Stand tall and announce that he was, in fact, there. For now though, he was more than content going day to day, weaving past his classmates and having them none the wiser.

    (Aka where Izuku does, in fact, have a Quirk, it's just that no one notices)

    Summary

    Touya clutches at the phone in his hands like the lifeline it is. If Touya played his cards right, this could be their chance to escape. No more hurt and pain and tears and fear. If Touya did this right they could be safe.

    This was do or die.

    It rings once. Then twice. Then a click.

    “Hellooo, listener! You’re on air! What’s on your mind tonight?”

    Or, Touya wants nothing more than to get him and his siblings out of their house and away from their father. To do this, he makes a last-ditch attempt and calls into Present Mic's radio station.
