    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

    But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

    Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

    (This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

    Summary

    "We're really sorry," his father says, in a teary-eyed, wobbly way. "But your friend, Izuku, he's... He's gone, son."
    Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation.
    "What the fuck are you two talking about? The damn nerd is standing right beside you!"

     

     

    During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Stuck in a ghost-like state, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in this state is no one other than Kacchan.

    Alternatively: Deku and Kacchan are soulbound.

    Summary

    The same part of him that marks him as quirkless also means that he needs a wider set of shoes so that they don't pinch his feet. There isn't much of a choice—white, black, red. Very plain, very perfunctory. The other children's shoes have patterns of polka dots and heroes and mascots and rainbows. Izuku had glanced hopefully at those and then sighed when the clerk brought them what limited stock they had in his size.

    Inko wonders at the fairness of it. Her son just needs a little more material for his shoes. One of his schoolmates has wings. There's a brand that specializes in that—clothing for those with winged quirks. There's a brand for nearly every quirk that exists. Much of Mitsuki's home is especially heat resistant because of Katsuki's explosive quirk. Hisashi has gloves that can withstand the occasional fire-breathing cough. There's really something for everyone.

    Everyone, it seems, except for those who are quirkless.

    Pre-canon. Inko and Izuku go shopping for shoes.

    But he isn’t. No, he never was alone.

    Summary

    Later, when Izuku visited the doctor to make sure that there weren't any leftover petals in his lungs, he told her that the entirety of his particular case of love-sickness had lasted, from start to finish, approximately thirty-five minutes.

    Quicker than he could blink, she was sitting in front of him with a pen and notepad in her hand, her eyes wide and unblinking. "That would be—it's the fastest recovery from hanahaki that I've heard of. It might even be a record—" She scribbled furiously into her notepad.

    Izuku said, politely, "Wow."

    "But you immediately told the—object of your affections?"

    "Oh, no. I mean, I wasn't going to, but he found me," said Izuku. After a moment, he added, "He blasted my door off its hinges."

    ---

    Izuku attempts to hide his hanahaki, but Katsuki hears about it and immediately demands to know who he's in love with so that he can drag them to Izuku and get everything cleared up.
