    Summary

    The human body, Izuku thinks, is wonderfully complex. Everything working together in perfect synchronicity, from the beating of the heart, a twitch of a finger, or peristalsis of the gut. Every level of organization brought a new layer of complexity that endlessly fascinated him.

    Life is just like the human body. Sometimes it doesn’t work the way we want it too. It hurts and aches and breaks and everyone does their best to hold themselves together through it all.

    One small change in an orderly system can have devastating effects.

    Summary

    The Underground: a network of vigilantes supported and directed by the Hero Commission to assist in maintaining the structure of Hero Society through any means necessary.

    Izuku descended into the Underground after the War, a quirkless medic with no future. Presented with a deal of a lifetime. He entered the doors of Illusion and into the laps of Heroes spilling all their secrets and wants. Strings of Hero Society plucked by the Commission while Izuku and his crew deal with criminals in forgotten areas of the city. Whatever missions the Commission throws at them just a bonus.

    There are whispers of a new threat growing in the city and, to make matters worse, Izuku finds himself with the eyes of the Number One hero on him. A slippery slope into something Izuku can't escape.

    If there’s anything Izuku has learned as a vigilante and spy, it’s that everything is not what it seems.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya’s father is a Hou-ou — a Japanese phoenix.

    For some reason, this means yokai have a standing invitation to pester Izuku with their existence. Birds assemble choirs for his birthday. If there’s no cedar leaf under the welcome mat, the amazake babaa that lives two apartments over will be knocking on their door by evening. His yokai-purifying excursions get mistaken for vigilantism far too often.

    (What’s going on with All Might? Is Principle Nedzu a yokai? Tokoyami, could you please get Dark Shadow to stop calling me ‘my Lord’?)
