    Summary

    When his father and Tomura start planning the USJ attack, Izuku makes a plan of his own. It’s simple, only four steps:

    1. Steal Eraserhead’s quirk
    2. Use it to kill All for One
    3. Give Erasure back, hopefully
    4. Go to jail, probably

    He’s prepared for the plan to fail at any time, but surprisingly, it’s not until step 4 that things fall through.

    Summary

    From a young age, Izuku had to hide his quirk. At first, he did it because his dad asked him to, because it was something special that he shared with him. It wasn't too long before he started hiding it in shame. When he finally meets his idol, All Might, Izuku decides he can't live like that anymore. He has to take down his villainous father, All for One, no matter how much it hurts.

    Basically, I looked at some fan theories about Dr Tsubasa, All for One, and Izuku and then decided, 'Hey, I want to make a fic!"

    The first arc is finished! And it can be read as a standalone fic. But why do that when there's more?

    Summary

    When Wilbur and Schlatt are resurrected on the DreamSMP, most are happy to have the charming ex-President back; less are enthused about the drunk tyrant coming in tow.

    The same can't be said for Wilbur, who's been biding his time in the afterlife.

    Watching.

    Seething.

    Raging.

    His symphony may have finished, but there's an encore calling his name.

    And it's permeated with a bloody vengeance.
    ///
    Schlatt thought he didn't care about his traitorous Secretary.

    Afterlife changes perspectives.

    Watching a teenager try to run a country AND handle the peer pressure of his former, power-hungry Vice President? Exile his best friend under orders of a puppeteer? Watch and hear said puppeteer proudly say they would murder him in cold blood, just so the 'life' of the server stayed in their control? Accepting his fate without question, without argument?

    Maybe Schlatt wasn't so heartless;

    Because his chest burned hotter than any whiskey or cigarette ever made him feel.

    He burned with ungodly fury.
    ///
    (TDLR; c!Wilbur and c!Schlatt are gonna riot for everything Tommy, Tubbo and Fundy were put through, along with some family therapy cause they need it)

    Summary

    Jason wanted to know everything and nothing all at once. He wanted to hug his brother and shake him, to cry and fight, to scream and brood, to throw things and shoot something, take a nap and read a novel. He wanted…he wanted - he just wanted things to be better. Dick deserved better.

    Six times the Bats learn something new about Dick's childhood while coping with post-Spyral revelations and one time they talk about it.

    Summary

    "If you wanna be a hero that badly, there’s a quick way to do it. Believe that you’ll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off the roof!”

    When Katsuki’s comment comes at just the wrong time, Izuku takes his advice. But it is not the end.

    Alternatively:
    In another world where Izuku is attacked by the sludge villain on the way to school instead of after it, his dreams get crushed too soon. With nothing to save him and Katsuki’s words ringing in his ears, Izuku decides to end it all by jumping off his school’s roof. As his body cracks on the ground, Izuku does not pass on to the next world. Instead, he is left as a ghost among many others. When the slime villain escapes from jail and attacks the person Izuku can’t help but care for, he learns that there may be more to his afterlife than he thought.

    And maybe he can be a hero after all.

    Summary

    “All right. I’m in Proud Immortal Demon Way," he says, once he's had a chance to compose himself again. He sits back up, tossing his stupidly long hair back over his shoulders where it belongs; he is totally calm and ready to grill the System for more information.  "Who am I supposed to be?"

    Please please please don't let it be someone who Bingge violently murders.

    Though given the fact that he's a man in PIDW, his chances are already skewed, and not in his favor. Ugh.

    [Bound Role: Shen Yuan, Rogue Cultivator. Weapon: the sword Heng Li. Starting B-points: 100.]

    or: Shen Yuan transmigrates as a rogue cultivator, one completely unconnected to any canon characters or events. Right, System? Right?

    Summary

    "Someone needs to go with him." Diana said. "She's a goddess of family. Her blessing will come from the strength of his familial ties."

    All the more reason I should go. Damian thought.

    Bruce and Dick shared a long look. Perhaps to the others in the room, it was a fast, indecipherable look, but Damian caught the pull of Dick's mouth and the tightness to his father's jaw. However, it was Bruce that said "Red Hood and Red Robin."

    Damian's eyes widened.

    Grayson was as good as dead.

     

    Or the one where Dick's brothers manage to royally piss off an ancient deity that sends them careening through memories he'd rather they didn't see.

    Summary

    “At the time it made the most sense that All Might was your father. But now, given your multiple quirks—”

    “I just-it’s still just one quirk! My quirk is just weird!” Izuku protested weakly. No one seemed to acknowledge it.

    “—given your multiple quirks, in combination to your relationship with All Might,” Todoroki continued, monotone, mercilessly objective, as Kaminari watched on in increasingly wide-eyed delight, “it makes more sense for his enemy from Kamino to be your father. The one with a lot of quirks.”

    Todoroki posits a new theory on Izuku's parentage. It's all in good fun, until it isn't. Then it's the custody battle of the century.

    Summary

    “Due to having only one student in my class last year, I was able to streamline my teaching style and have a more focused, intensive training with him,” Aizawa elaborated. “That paired with the student’s...above average learning capabilities, and well…” He shrugged as he casually stated, “I kind of ran out of things to teach him.”

    Silence. Then, a confused, “You mean you finished the first year curriculum with him?...”

    Aizawa blinked. “No. I mean he finished all of the UA heroics curriculum.”

    (-Or- What do you get when you mix Izuku Midoriya, One For All, and a year of intensive one on one lessons with Aizawa and All Might?

    One ridiculously overpowered child with a savior complex and anxiety.)
