    Summary

    The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough.

    Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?

     

    Or,

     

    In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.

    ...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.

     

    [gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]

    Summary

    After his internship with Gran Torino and the Stain Incident, Izuku is stuck with one lingering thought: he can’t be another All Might. Gran had said his admiration was a shackle but what did it mean to not emulate All Might? Who was Izuku anyway if you stripped the All Might from him? Could little quirkless Izuku really be a hero? There’s only one thing to do really. If he needs help with being himself, then he’ll go to the one person who has never bowed to society’s expectations of her: the R-Rated Hero, Midnight!

    It’s painfully obvious to Nemuri that Izuku Midoriya is about as awkward and anxiety riddled as possible but she’s never backed down from a challenge before. And if this bone-breaking nervous wreck needs a little self-confidence, well then she’ll just have to build him up one brick at a time.

    Sometimes just a little confidence can change the whole world.

    Summary

    Yagi shifted side to side uncomfortably, apparently organizing his thoughts. “Is this something I don’t want to know about, Nedzu?"

    The principal allowed his grin to stretch all the way to his ears. “Really, it is only supplies for my office, Yagi. It is not a scheme to take over the world.” Not yet, anyway.

     

    The time has come to push the big, glowing, red button at the edge of Nedzu’s desk.

    Summary

    As the watchers began to disperse, Mei continued staring at the greenette’s hands as he absently shuffled his deck again and again. Abruptly Midoriya’s head swiveled and his piercing gaze locked onto hers as if laser-guided. She watched him like a curious classmate. He watched her like an osprey, his predatory gaze forced to pierce through the glare of the sun and the churn of choppy water to find her. Midoriya cocked his head in that peculiar way of his and she shivered, understanding the cold fear of a trout that catches a hint of a raptor’s shadow dancing across the surface of a shallow stream. There was no way someone that scary could be quirkless.

    Hatsume Mei takes a long, winding path to the conclusion that her classmate is an eldritch horror.

    Although technically a sequel, this story should make sense on its own, or as much sense as it is intended to make, anyway.

    Summary

    Finding the first article was an accident. Izuku had been researching local history for a school project, digging through a digitized library microfilm archive. “Child Missing in Ikeda Lake Park: Kase Family Appeal to Kidnappers.” Sixty seven years ago… more than half a century.

    Two such stories near Ikeda Lake could be a coincidence, especially given the long time between them. Three was a… very strange coincidence. Four was a pattern.

    Izuku's acquaintance went missing in Ikeda Lake Park. She wasn't the only one.
