    Summary

    “What was the question? Something about their quirk?”

    Izuku’s shoulders dropped slightly.

    “I asked them if someone without a quirk could become a hero.”

    Stendhal-san snorted. Izuku’s shoulders nearly covered his ears. He knew, he heard it from All Might already, he didn’t need to have Stendhal-san repeat it, too-

    “Obviously,” Stendhal-san said, leaning back on his arms. “Quirks are merely tools; plenty of heroes have perfect quirks and not an ounce of heroism in their blood. You’re already more of a hero than numbers 2 through 10, combined.”

    Izuku could feel the tears slipping down his cheeks, sobbing at the words he had been yearning to hear for so long.

    “Did they- did they not say that?” Stendhal-san asked, startled by Izuku’s reaction.

    ***

    Or, in other words: the five times Izuku learned something about Stendhal-san, and the one time he got to use everything he knew.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.

    So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.

    The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’

    Summary

    After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn’t quite sure there’s anything left for him to live for, but...he can’t exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can’t technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He’ll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he’d be born with a quirk in the next life.

    Summary

    He tells Saihara that there are two kinds of smiles: Duchenne and non-Duchenne. A Duchenne smile is the real one. It's the one where the muscles in your cheeks contract and form the wrinkles around your eyes. Wrinkles, look for the wrinkles. If you see the crow's feet, if the eyes are scrunched up, it's real.
