    Summary

    Sometimes, your life can be changed forever because you don't have any soy sauce left.

    Or where Izuku never meets All Might, never attends to UA but being a stubborn problem child, he ends up doing hero stuff...more or less...

    Summary

    Izuku learned at a very young age that love is conditional. Love is a reward for following the rules, love is reserved for those who are worthy of it, for those who are loveable.
    Izuku was not loveable, well at least not according to anyone he'd ever met.
    All he ever wanted to do was help people, to be someone worthy of loving but at 12 years old he's left with nothing and no one. Living on the streets he has to make his own way in life and maybe help some of the people in this community he's found himself in.
    Follow his journey as Izuku skirts the line of the law saving people and maybe even finding someone who thinks he's worth loving.

    Summary

    Kintsugi: The Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It represents the idea that broken doesn't mean unfixable. That even something shattered can be made into a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.

    Izuku knows that life will always be unfair to people like him. He knows that he can't bring his mother back from the dead or make his father love him. He knows he's destined for a life of loneliness and pain. Knows that his goal to be a quirkless hero is nearly impossible.

    Izuku knows that he's broken.

    But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
    Will Izuku let them?

    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?
