    Summary

    cw: description of self-inflicted injury in summary

    “Hey there, listener. What’s the matter? Are you hurt?”

    His only response was another whimper, even quieter this time. The person’s breathing sounded labored.

    Now truly concerned, Hizashi pulled out his phone and prepared to turn on the flashlight. Not wanting to startle whoever was curled up in the shadows, he announced his movements. “I’m pulling out a flashlight so I can get a look at you, okay? I need to see if you’re okay.”

    When he aimed the light at the alcove, he paled and he swore his heart stopped for a moment.

    Curled up behind a dumpster in this dirty alley was a child, pale as a ghost and bleeding from two long, angry cuts on their wrists.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya never got the chance to save Bakugo from the sludge villain and impress All Might. With his dream crushed, Izuku becomes bitter and angry. It also doesn't help that he faces discrimination at every turn.
    All he ever wanted was to be appreciated, so when the villains are the ones to recognize his talents rather than the heroes, well, Izuku just can't resist. He might as well help those who actually want him around.
    Mistakes were made, and now society must face a villain of their own making: Mastermind.

    This fic has a discord.

    Summary

    “Kacchan,” Izuku says. He looks at his All Might drawing in the sand again, wiping at his eyes. “Do your parents play games with their friends?”

    “Yeah. What do you think they’re doing while I’m stuck having to play with you?”

    Izuku thinks the words should make him upset, but they don’t. He’s too busy digging his nails into his legs, thinking about the room, to be upset about anything Kacchan is saying.

    “At the end of the game, do … Do you ever go into a room with them? With your parents’ friends and ... do stuff?”

    When he turns around, Kacchan is staring at him with a twisted expression.

    “What are you talking about?”

    Izuku Midoriya always seems to have tears in his eyes.

    Or: Izuku has been drowning his entire life. And when he begins to sink, his family (class 1-A, that is) is there to keep him afloat.

    Summary

    Too many quirkless people kill themselves daily without anyone caring, without anyone even knowing their names.

    Izuku's death wouldn't be the same.
