Summary
The Sludge Villain doesn't find Bakugo after escaping All Might, but some other random civilian. There's no series of explosions to draw All Might to the scene of the second attack. It's by pure luck that Izuku stumbles upon them. And Izuku does what he always has when he sees one person hurting another: inserts himself between the aggressor and victim. He finds this is significantly harder to do when one of the parties is a sentient slime.

Summary
Things have been good for so long that Izuku should have expected someone to take his quirk less than well. That someone being All Might hurts more than he's prepared for.

Summary
The chance of a child born to two quirked parents having no quirk at all is smaller than most believe. In fact, it's near impossible. But Hisashi Midoriya didn't always have a quirk. It's a closely guarded secret, as is the identity of the man who gave him his fire-breathing.
Hisashi tries his best to keep Inko and Izuku out of the trouble that seems to follow him. It finds them despite his efforts. Now he must take care of Izuku on his own...or enlist help in seeing his son gets to chase his dream. His son wants to be a hero, and no one's ever heard of a quirkless hero.
The world isn't always as black and white as it appears, and sometimes the labels of hero and villain blur. With his father's friends being far from the ivory end of the spectrum and his own childhood, Izuku knows that society is anything but perfect. The question is, how far is he willing to go to save those that need it?

Summary
"One man's trash is another man's treasure."
The phrase, like most things from before, was largely forgotten. All for One, however, had a fondness for old, forgotten things.
He usually applied the saying to quirks, but when The Doctor's newest subject turned out to have been thrown away by All Might? Well, All for One didn't mind applying it to a person. He had a use for the boy already, but he certainly wouldn't pass up the opportunity to show All Might exactly what he thoughtlessly discarded.

Summary
Ra's stole Tim's spleen and threw him out a window, so Tim retaliated by stealing every single asset in the league's possession and then blowing every major League of Shadow base in the world to smithereens, as one does.
Or cue the one where Tim gets his hands on all the league's material assets, and I mean ALL OF THEM.
Money, Weapons, Poisons, information, surveillance, Lazarus pits, magical artifacts, and of course the nuclear bombs that he found in the basement. All of which, now belonged to Tim.

Summary
For two days, a countdown has been visible in the sky across the world and hovering in the corner of every video-capable screen. The source is powerful, extra-terrestrial, and godly in nature. The Justice League has already found itself unable to stop whatever is coming.
In their civilian identities, Clark Kent, Tim Drake, Billy Batson, and Danny Fenton find themselves in the middle of an alien arena as the countdown hits zero. They're nowhere on Earth, but their every move is being broadcast far and wide.
Antantlous is the Tantalan god of Judgement and Entertainment. His newest contestants will be judged. And, of course, along the way, they will also entertain.
Featuring: the contestants living together in captivity; Clark trying to be team dad; Billy You're-Not-My-Dad Batson; Tim being hyper competent; and Danny just wanting to turn back time a couple of months, is that too much to ask?
