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
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.’
This fic has a discord.

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.

Summary
“Your first kiss usually isn’t anything special.” Something in his chest tightens, mostly because the idea of Princess Zelda herself whining for a kiss is proving to be far too stimulating a notion. “It’s really just something to get over with. Really, no one’s first kiss is a good one.”
“Oh.” Zelda goes quiet, curiosity muted and replaced with a scintillating silence that promises something more. Link lowers his guard down, and his shoulders have only just settled a smidge before her soft request has tension knotting in them once again.
“So,” she drones, fingers mindlessly clamping around the stray scorpion grass along her thighs, “if it isn’t anything special…might you be willing to kiss me, then?”

Summary
“Did you catch him, Endeavor?” Izuku asks as he stares up, up, up at the behemoth of a man. Cold, blue eyes turn to him, his hard expression never changing. No one says anything for a moment.
“I will,” Endeavor says finally. “Someday, I will find that man.”
Izuku accepts the promise with a nod. He has no tears left and wouldn’t have squandered them on Midoriya Hisashi if he did, so he simply bows deeply to the hero.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me, Izuku. It is my duty. He has disgraced the Todoroki clan for the last time. We will not allow this villain to sully our family name any further.”
Izuku straightens, confusion clear on his face.
“You don’t know why I am here, do you?” Endeavor asks, “Midoriya Hisashi was born Todoroki Hisashi, my younger brother. You are my nephew.”
