    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has the world on his shoulders.
    The power of One For All is difficult to hold up sometimes but Izuku is a hero at heart and nothing will sway him from that path- not even accidentally ending up thirteen years in the past, forced to continue his hero journey with the younger version of a once-teacher that hates him.
    Izuku has always known Aizawa Shouta didn't like him, but something about him now- soft, unguarded, unhateful, and with a genuine smile pressing against the rim of his coffee cup, Izuku can't help but be drawn in.

    New class, new friends, family, relationships, mystery and at the center of it all- the overwhelming weight of his destiny on his back, Izuku faces it all as he says goodbye to the future and embraces the past.

    Summary

    A slight whistle in the air as a sword is raised. Shouta knows this is the end. He fights, fights with all of his being against the paralysis, but he can't even feel his fingertips. He's as good as dead.

    He can't even close his eyes.

    And then from the mouth of the alley, comes a tiny figure who barrels straight through Shouta's field of vision—and from the oomph behind him, straight into Stain.

    Shouta squints to his left as much as he can, and can just barely catch sight of—Holy shit, is that a kid?

    *

    In which Aizawa is put on an HPSC task-force to bring down Stain. It goes wrong. Then 7-year-old Izuku intervenes, and things get from bad to worse.

    Summary

    Toshinori reaches a hand, the one that is shattered beyond repair and drenched in blood. He gives a smile to the boy. He can feel blood smeared across his teeth. He can't imagine his smile is any reassurance, but Toshinori is dying and desperate. A piss-poor smile is all he can give.

    A piss-poor smile, and an earth-shattering quirk.

    'I have a healing quirk,' he lies, begging the boy with his eyes. Please, say yes. Please accept my DNA. 'It only works on others. Let me h-help you? I won't last.' Toshinori's words come more and more haltingly. He can feel cold darkness encroaching on his limbs already. He tilts his hand, just slightly, just enough to renew his offer to the boy. 'At-At least… Not long enough… For help to arrive in time.'

    *

    Yagi Toshinori gets caught in a building collapse in his powered-down form. As he lays dying and without a successor, he offers his quirk to a young boy who is trapped alongside him.

    All Might never makes it out of the building. But Midoriya Izuku does.

    With no parent and a new limb-breaking quirk, he becomes a ward of UA.

    Summary

    “Do you ever get tired of it?” Touya asked. “Eating shit food out of dumpsters and bathing in public bathrooms?”

    “I do,” Izuku answered, honestly. “But I’m free this way.”

    “What if you could be free and have a roof over your head too?”

    Izuku gave him an amused look. “I can’t. I’m eight years old and, technically, don’t exist. It’s not as if I could get a job to pay rent.”

    “I could though,” Touya said, voice oddly strained as he made the offer. “If you wanted. To live like that, instead.”

    Summary

    New summary for I like shiny things

    Dragon mates Shouta and Hizashi are pretty content in their life. Steal some sheep, find some treasure, come home and fuck on their Hoard.

    Easy peasy.

    Except…

    Except one day, an adventurer strays too far into the colony territory in search of a cure. An adventurer with eyes like emeralds and hair like the softest grass.

    Except a little dragon hatchling shows up on their doorstep and no one knows where she came from.

    With courting on the mind and adventure on the table, Hizashi, Shouta and Izuku find way more than they bargained for and gain family along the way.
