    Summary

    After the encounter with All Might sucks the hope out of Izuku, he finds himself in another situation with a villain. This time, though, it’s at night and it isn’t All Might who saves the day, but a slippery guy who welcomes Izuku’s help. He fills the spot of admiration that All Might had had in Izuku’s heart. Izuku doesn’t let the fact that the guy doesn’t have a hero’s license bother him.

    OR

    Izuku befriends a vigilante and gets ingrained into a world that’s all ‘gray area’. At some point he even finds himself interacting with people who have stepped over the line into the ‘villains’ side. Izuku might spend a little time over the line too. Or a significant amount of time. Depends on who you ask.
    During the same time, Bakugou wonders who his teacher, Eraserhead, must be chasing to give him so much grief.

    Summary

    Expendable. That's all you were, all you'd ever be. Stuck in the depths of the Hadal Blacksite you've come to admit it to yourself. Just another Expendable, seeking a freedom that was never promised. You know of others in similiar plight. The experiments, that funky fish-looking dude with the snark and his static friend who often radio'd in whenever you were buying supplies.

    "It's either us or them."
    "You're just someone trying to persist in the unimagineable circumstances they placed you in."
    "Surviving doesn't make you a bad person."

    You'd heard Sebastian's softer words of comfort to Painter. Ofcourse they were only surviving, but so were you. Freedom was a precious thing you both sought, but they would never extend their trust to someone working for Urbanshade.
    So, despite the unimaginable circumstances, you seek to change that. To stray from the script.

    And you know, to avoid getting murked by Sebastian at every little inconvenience.

    Or,

    Player seeks to gain Sebastian & Painter's trust (and sometimes fails miserably).

    Summary

    “Take a nap wherever you feel is comfortable,” Nedzu has said, and he meant it quite literally (at least that’s how Izuku took it).

    tldr; Izuku has a quirk that makes sleep unnecessary but still need to take naps. But he doesn't nap in just any normal location. Cue a him in odd locations along with whatever chaos comes with it. Chaos that may or may not include villains, creation of a cryptid, new friends, and of course comfort.

    Don't worry, this is not abandoned! Slow updates

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya wasn't like other children. He tended to focus more diligently on academics than his peers, usually being first with his hand in the air when teachers asked questions. Not that they usually picked him despite being the top student in class. He also had a mumbling habit and tended to stare at people while scribbling in notebooks. It was unsettling and didn't earn him any friends. But the most troubling and off-putting part about him was that he had died when he was seven.
