    Summary

    After the sludge incident, Izuku Midoriya's dream was officially crushed. However, a later experience takes the boy in a new direction. Izuku had never really contemplated being a detective, but his whole life he'd only ever wanted to help people with a smile on his face. Thanks to some luck and an entire police station, Izuku's dream is reborn.

    Summary

    Juxtapose. Verb, meaning: to place two things together in a contrasting manner. In this case, two points of divergence.

    Izuku Midoriya, an aspiring Hero with a useless Quirk, is heartbroken when his lifelong idol tells him to reconsider his options. He doesn't know what else to do but cry in the park until a husk of a man offers him ice cream. The man, named Toshinori Yagi, tells Izuku that he might still have a chance: If he worked hard and entered Yuuei's General Education program, then he could potentially transfer into the Hero Course if he won the Sports Festival.

    With a new path forward and a mentor to guide him, Izuku takes a very different road towards becoming a hero.

    A Wager of Wits by

    Summary

    In an immensely convoluted way, quirks proved that the greatest power was the human mind. People, before quirks, used to say the greatest power is thought. The human brain, a complicated organ powered by tiny pulses of electricity could beat any idiot with a couple firecrackers popping between their fingers.

    When villains, with lightning bolts at their fingertips, could be bested by a hero whose only power was to manipulate fabric, it became increasingly obvious that power lies in how you used your mind.

    Unfortunately for Izuku, he challenged the one person- man? Animal? Creature? Creature.- that’s power increased their mind.

    But, maybe, just maybe, he could win this wager.

    - -

    U.A has a rule that prevents Quirkless students from applying.

    Izuku, in an attempt to get the rule removed, ends up challenging Principal Nedzu to a wager of wits.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku is Quirkless. Well, he thought was. That was until he opened his mouth to sing.
    There is more power in Midoriya's singing than he could have ever dreamed of - a power truly worthy of a hero. But will he ever have the confidence to spread his wings and soar?

    Follow Canary on his journey to find his voice and become the hero he was always meant to be.

    ____

     

    I thought, hey you know what would be really hard to write? A story where the super power is singing - so I did it - a story mainly about learning to have confidence in yourself and those around you
