    Summary

    If there’s one thing Izuku never imagined happening to him after losing One For All, was to be forgotten.

    Now a professor at U.A. High, he spends his days teaching and his nights haunted by the life he left behind. He tells himself the quiet is enough, but the ache of his past—of failed dreams, lost purpose, and a failed relationship with his best friend that crumbled under the weight of their differences—refuses to fade.

    When a stranger steps out of the shadows with an offer Izuku can’t ignore, he’s thrust into a hidden world of corruption and power. Beneath the polished hero rankings and dazzling debuts lies a web of lies spun by the Hero Commission and government officials—a system built on control, manipulation, and deceit.

    As Izuku uncovers the truth, his world begins to crumble. Faced with a choice between the life he’s built and the chance to truly make a difference, Izuku must decide: will he cling to the legacy of the hero he once was, or risk everything to fight in the shadows?

    Summary

    Heroes are kind. Heroes save people. Heroes want to help people no matter what. Heroes are like All Might, smiling regardless of how a tough a fight is. Heroes, Izuku has learned, can also not be heroes at all.
    One article about a bad hero turns into four articles, then ten, then twenty and soon the whole country is reading about licensed villains playing at savior. Izuku writes them haphazardly, picking heroes whose wrong doings are masked by their fame. That is, until he meets Endeavor.

    In other words; the one where Izuku sees the fault in the hero system, makes it his mission to fix it with the help of one burnt fire-user vigilante, and eventually finds himself deeper in this mess than he originally planned.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya never got the chance to save Bakugo from the sludge villain and impress All Might. With his dream crushed, Izuku becomes bitter and angry. It also doesn't help that he faces discrimination at every turn.
    All he ever wanted was to be appreciated, so when the villains are the ones to recognize his talents rather than the heroes, well, Izuku just can't resist. He might as well help those who actually want him around.
    Mistakes were made, and now society must face a villain of their own making: Mastermind.

    This fic has a discord.

    Summary

    He’s Adonis. He’s showstopping neon. He’s smiling like he's the goddamn sun incarnate.

    “Holy shit,” Katsuki breathes.

    But there's no way. That cannot be Deku. Deku's quirkless.

    ...Right?

    Or; Izuku got One for All but went to Shiketsu instead and ends up working at the same hero agency as one very confused, very turned-on Bakugou Katsuki.
