    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku and Shigaraki Tomura are, at first glance, two completely unrelated children. One was as kind as an angel, while the other was as vindictive as a demon. One adored heroes from the bottom of his heart and the other despised them more than words can describe. One was destined to be the greatest hero of his generation, while the other was destined to be the greatest villain. Unbeknownst to them though, they are connected by blood, both of the children possessing a relation to the deceased hero Shimura Nana. As a result of this connection, both possess a quirk that allows them to destroy anything with a touch, leaving nothing but dust behind. These two do not know it yet, but their fates are soon destined to clash..... (Additional Information inside the first chapter).

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya returns to Japan after staying in California with his father and mother for the past ten years, coming back to a home that feels familiar yet foreign at the same time. Pro Heroes in the streets and skies protecting the innocent and defeating the devious Villains, that was how it always was no matter what country. But behind this modern Hero Society is a dark reflection that most prefer to keep hidden.

    In a realm crafted in the shape of this twisted reflection, terrible creatures of the dark lurk in their own society, hunting those alone in the dead of night and pulling them into their realm or waiting for those foolish enough to invade. Izuku must gather allies to put a stop to these otherworldly hunters, for even if he was born Quirkless fate has blessed him with a different power. The power of the Wild Card.

    Summary

    Now usually Shroud the hero is no fan of kids that aren't his-- they're loud, abrasive and annoying, but Mechaman was undeserving of having the most toughest kid he had ever known as a son.

    The only thing he felt when he put that bullet into his wretched ex-friend's heart was sorry for the grief that young Robert would suffer through.

    Or: AU where Shroud was another father figure/babysitter for Robert.

    Summary

    In a snap judgement, Midoriya Inko uses her quirk to save a life during surgery. She's promptly fired. The reason? Unlicensed, illegal quirk usage, cause enough to revoke her medical license and with it, her salary. At the age of ten, her son Izuku's life is flipped on its head. They move to cheap apartment in a more run-down area, sell their things, and work long hours to make ends meet.

    The world is rotten, and he begins to see the cracks. Unfair rules, chains written in ink that shackle everyone unfairly. Villains running rampant, unabated by corrupt heroes. His heroic dreams hold firm - he and his mom both promised they would always do the right thing.

    When Izuku is fifteen, he leaves work one night to see a woman being suffocated by a villain made of sludge, surrounded by explosions. Heroes watch uselessly and the crowd stands by, so he rushes in to save her. This woman, Curious, turns out to be a head lieutenant of the Meta Liberation Army, and in Izuku's heart she sees a roaring flame.

    What follows is a chain of events in which Izuku finds a new purpose beyond being a hero... Liberation.

    OR:

    What if a Quirkless Izuku joined the MLA?
