Summary
He was twenty when the last ember burned away.
He remembered it so clearly, it could have been yesterday. Waking alone in his apartment, staring up at the ceiling for a long time trying to reach it again. Trying to recall what they’d told him in his head, what those long dead faces looked like.
It was so empty. It was nostalgic; he hadn’t felt this way in years.
But it felt familiar, like walking into his childhood home. He hadn’t visited in a while.
It wasn’t new. It wasn’t sad. It was just there. The last nail in the coffin.
He remembered sobbing for hours. He called into his classes, didn’t go to campus for a week. Everyone thought he’d caught a late-season case of the flu.
He’d called Kacchan that morning, but he hadn't answered. Izuku didn’t actually tell him the truth for another month.
or, a more bitter version of chapter 430

Summary
(Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)
Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”
“Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”
“Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”
“I-I’m what?! W-wait!”
tl;dr
Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

Summary
Izuku has plans for everything.
He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.
For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.
Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.
(Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)
