    Summary

    A bell chimes as a battered, broken, and dirty Izuku walks in the door. He pointedly ignores shocked stares from the two customers in the aisles, observes the cashier with a phone cable in his mouth, and marches straight to the first aid section. The selection is less than ideal, but he’s made use of far less before. He mindlessly sweeps items into his arms, and waltzes up to the register.

     

     

     

     

    Izuku has no home: He finds solace in places that he will inevitably leave.

    Izuku gets injured, saved by Aizawa and crew, and goes to places his mind conjures up (plus a gas station!)

    Summary

    Even in a world where Midoriya Izuku does develop a quirk, life is not kind.

    Somehow, ineffably, he still finds his way to being a hero, even when his body fails him. Even if it's the last thing he does.

    (where quirks are not always kind, and the author ruminates on the idea that trauma can be a list of smaller things that grow into something bigger and all the more willing to swallow someone whole. But it’ll be okay, eventually, because Izuku’s got Mirio by his side, and Mirio has got him).

    Summary

    "It wasn't fair of them," All For One whispers to him. "To put this on you."

    A large hand still cradles his skull and Izuku wonders when he stopped crying at things.

     

    -

    HEED TAGS - entirely focuses on Izuku killing himself and the shortly before and after conversations he has with afo and yoichi.

    Summary

    Izuku knows he will burn fast, but he wants desperately to burn brightly.
    To give something to the world before he runs out of fuel.

    But some dreams should stay dreams, and Izuku really should have learned to be more careful with his heart.

    (A notebook can be a damnable thing, I suppose. And traitor is an ugly, ugly word.)

    Summary

    Wherein the grief comes from how 1) no one noticed. 2) no one asked them to stay.

    Or: red shoes tell many stories, and this one is probably the worst of them.

    Or: All for One stays dead, Tenko is quirkless, Izuku is quirkless, and this is how we die.
