Summary
The morning air in the Heights Alliance dorms didn’t smell like “heroism”; it smelled like burnt toast, high-grade engine oil, and industrial-strength hairspray. Thick with the domestic hum of twenty lives pressed against one another. These were the top students in the country; elite heroes-to-be who had faced down villains and death, yet were still teenagers who fought over the last of the milk and left damp towels on the bathroom floor.
.
.
.Between midnight study sessions, sweat-slick training grounds, and the suffocating closeness of dorm life, Katsuki Bakugo is pushing himself toward perfection hard enough to break skin. But when an HPSC representative takes a unusual interest in Izuku Midoriya, what starts as suspicion turns into something sharper as Class 1-A begins confronting the machinery underneath hero society—and the terrifying cost of being valuable.
Ft: Dadzawa, Class 1-A dorm chaos, study motivation, and some good ol' fashioned systemic corruption

Summary
“I want,” Bakugou says, “you to wake the fuck up. Make teachers look out for their kids. Don’t put up with any kind of violence—this should be a fucking safe space for kids. And the little shit-stains who think they’re above the rules because they’ve got a fancy quirk? You deal with them, too. Quirk usage is illegal. Physical assault is illegal. And yet I saw all that and more when I was here—I did all of that and more when I was here.”
The principal stares at him. “You’re saying you wanted us to give you detention?”
Detention. Like that would have done anything.
“I’m saying,” Bakugou says through gritted teeth, “that you should’ve expelled me.”
Or: how Bakugou became an anti-bullying advocate.

Summary
Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.
Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.
(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).
COMPLETE.

Summary
About a week after that, All Might asked Izuku if he was aiming for the hero course at UA. The question was so sudden that Izuku nearly dropped a microwave on his toes.
The truth was, if All Might had asked him that a week ago, there would have only been one possible answer to that question. All Might had gone to UA, UA was the best, so Izuku was going to go there too, if he could. But things were a little different, now that he was going to receive All Might’s Quirk.
“No,” he said, decisively.
All Might looked caught off guard, which was a very rare expression on him. “No?” he echoed, like he couldn’t believe it.
A laugh bubbled out of Izuku’s throat. He honestly couldn’t believe it either. “No,” he repeated.
___
Or, All Might tells Izuku about All for One before he gives him One for All, and everything changes.
