Summary
“Listen. The class— well, everyone knows you’re from UA. And everyone knows that you don’t just transfer out of UA without a really good reason. And that dude? Seemed like a good fucking reason,” Inasa says.
For the month that Izuku has known him, he’s known Inasa as bold and brash and daring. This Inasa that’s in front of him, the quiet, thoughtful, and empathetic Inasa, is new.
“I don’t know what happened at UA. But I do know that Shikestu is a school that will be good for you, if you give it the chance. Better than UA, even.”
In which Izuku is tired, tired, tired and UA does nothing. So with the little strength that Izuku has left, he transfers.

Summary
“Aren’t you guys missing someone? There’s only nineteen of you.” He smiles, but it’s cold and harsh. Monoma scans the group and then his face falls, dramatic and fake. “You’re missing the green kid, aren’t you? Did he decide that heroics wasn’t for him after all? And here I thought 1A was supposed to be the best of the best.”
Izuku's gone and Shouto (And Uraraka and Iida and Asui) are going to get to the bottom of it.

Summary
“The Crushing of UA is where all the schools go after UA in the first round of the exam. The more UA students disqualified, the better,” Moura explains. “Everyone has it out for them. It’s UA, who doesn’t have something against them?”
Izuku winces. In another life, that would be him everyone was after. “Isn’t that mean?”
“Incredibly,” Shishikura replies, smirking. “But it’s UA. A bunch of brats with special treatment who chased away a super nice, super powerful kid like you. So, like, it’s deserved.”
It's the Provisional Hero License Exam. Izuku, after having transferred to Shiketsu, runs into people he much rather never see again.

He’s the living and breathing definition of making your way up through the ranks. He’s everything that Izuku aspires to be, and more.
In his second year of Shiketsu High, Izuku takes his internship with Sir Nighteye. There is a lot to learn.

Summary
“I’m sure it’s about Midoriya,” Aizawa responds. Everything seems to circle back to that kid. He has been out of UA for longer than he was ever here, but his presence lingers, looms, and doesn't ever want to leave. Even with a new kid filling his spot, Midoriya is still a headache. “Todoroki and them have something against Bakugou for it.”
Two months into second year, Todoroki 'accidentally' injures Bakugou during training. And it just doesn't make sense. Nothing does, really.

Summary
Because Musutafu, for all that it’s given him (read: a lot of things to work through), has always been home. It’s become a familiar place, a place for him to come back to and breathe in deep and think Maybe I should stay. He never thought he would think that way. But in the past few months, every time he’s come to visit, it gets harder to leave. It’s because there are new things here to ground him. There are all of his friends, sure, but there’s also the Nighteye Agency and everyone there, and even Camie who is floating her way through multiple sidekick gigs in the city. It’s a new purpose, a new chance to make a life here.
“I’m thinking about moving back here when I’m done with school, actually,” Izuku admits and he should have seen the silence coming. Yet, it still surprises him when all of his friends stop what they’re doing, sit upright, and stare at him.
In which Izuku has realization after realization after realization.

Summary
Hitoshi is deciding between ketchup flavored or garlic butter flavored chips when someone bumps into his side. It’s an unassuming type of bump, the kind that’s light enough to be a genuine mistake. Hitoshi looks up, half of an apology already on his lips, when he sees who bumped into him.
It’s Midoriya Izuku.
Third year internships find Hitoshi out west, out near Shiketsu. Not that he realized that. (If he did, he probably wouldn't have gone.)

Summary
Izuku's mind has been going into overdrive since last week when Izuku realized that Inasa should know about how he got his quirk. Not just because he’s the last one of Izuku’s friends to know about his secret, (Okay, mostly because of that) but also because Inasa is Izuku’s best friend. And can Inasa really be Izuku’s best friend if he doesn’t know about One For All?
Everyone knows about One For All. Well, just about everyone. Izuku feels guilty about it.

Summary
It wasn’t even his own hard work that got him to this point of looking at a hero license and seeing his own face and name reflected back. It was the fact that a kid that has had his entire life handed to him on a silver platter, a kid who has seen nothing but the kindness the spoiled world had to offer, fell apart at the seams. Couldn’t hack it. Was given everything one needs to flourish and still washed out. Hitoshi just happened to be at the right place and the right time to sneak in before the cracks were mended. It wasn’t his own power, his own work, his own determination, that brought him here.
Shinsou Hitoshi is a hero, finally. But he didn't get here the way he wanted to. It causes issues.

Summary
“Are you going to apologize?” Fat Gum asks.
Katsuki is eighteen now, with enough behavioral and hormonal therapy under his belt to not let rage get the better of him. But he’s tired and his meds are wearing off and this ramen sucks and Fat Gum just asked if he’s apologized. As if Katsuki doesn’t flit away every time he passes by Deku. As if he isn’t a fucking coward. As if he can actually think about Deku and not feel so raw and vulnerable that a strong breeze has the power to blow him away.
Katsuki tries. He tries. He tries. He tries. He tr— what happens when you face the truth: that trying isn’t enough?

Summary
A loud yell comes from above them. Hitoshi can’t make out what the words are but he knows his guess won’t be far off. All limelight heroes do is show up, yell out their attack name, and cause property damage. Their attacks are always so gaudy too—this one no exception. The fight is suddenly lit up with crackles of green energy. Oh. Hitoshi knows who this is. Dammit. It literally couldn’t have been anyone else?
To make a shitty day even shitter, Hitoshi and Midoriya end up responding to the same call. Poor decisions are made.

Summary
To do the big work that Izuku wants to accomplish they need funds, which doesn’t come from the measly salary the HPSC gives to its heroes. It comes from being in commercials and photoshoots, selling merch, all superfluous things that really aren’t going to help him become a better hero at all. But it does all the same, because it gives them money to donate to food banks, help domestic violence victims get back on their feet, fight for quirkless acceptance, use their power and influence to uplift others. It helps in all the ways that fighting against villains doesn’t accomplish.
And then eventually that money is going to run out and Izuku and his team is going to find themselves in the exact same place again.
Being a hero is more than just saving people. It's also dealing with a lot of bullshit.

Summary
“I’m fine,” Izuku says and he’s telling the truth. He’s a little off-kilter, but he’s fine. He won’t have to see Katsuki again after this raid, and that’s good, great even. He doesn’t know why, but every time he sees Katsuki it’s like he’s fifteen again, deep in his head and unsure of his place in this world. Isn’t he supposed to be over this by now?
Pro Heroes Kinetic and Ground Zero take on a case together. It gets worse before it gets better.
