   Summary

   Midoriya Izuku wasn’t fragile, he had just been run over by a train and gotten up again. Sure, he was quirkless (was he even?), but not fragile. Not having a quirk didn’t mean he was fragile or useless or worthless. All it meant was that he had been handed an opportunity that no one else could have known he had.
   If no one had ever tried to kill him, Izuku wouldn’t know that he couldn’t die.

   (excerpt is from chapter 4 but is a good indication of the themes)
   Sorry about the short chapters at the beginning. I considered putting them all together but eventually decided against it.
