Description:

Read in any order. It's less a series and more a multiverse with many repetitive elements (like OCs or plot concepts). Eventually will be composed of six parts: Cure to Evil, Ties that Bind, Dead on Arrival, All That's Left, Answering the Call, and Exiting the Stage.

Thus far Cure to Evil, Ties that Bind and Dead on Arrival are finished, Exiting the Stage is anywhere between being 50% and 66% done, and Answering the Call is on hold until I finish All That's Left.

Notes:

Cure to Evil - Izuku is All for One's son and heir - but despite that, and despite having his father's quirk, he is still looking to be hero. Even if he'll one that the world will call a villain. And even in the times where the true heroes are so scarce, even among the pro-heroes themselves. [75% angst and 25% humour, slight crack but treated very seriously]

Ties that Bind - Izuku is All Might's biological son... who just happened to have All for One as his stepfather for most of his childhood. At least until the last duel between those two. Now, armed with the intelligence and quirk knowledge of his stepfather and the quirk and heroic spirit of his father, he seeks to be the best hero he can be. [25% angst, 75% humour, slight crack but treated very seriously].

Dead on Arrival - Izuku always dreamed of being a superhero. Something hard to achieve with a broken body, in the world where superpowers do not exist and in a country recently ravaged by war. Until he suddenly develops a genuine superpower. Dawn of Quirks is upon them, and the clock is ticking until the end of the world as they know it. [probably the most serious of all the works here except for Exiting the Stage, expect no crack here, a lot of angst... and heroism in spite of it]

All That's Left - All for One's death was supposed to help the country recover. It didn't. Instead, the country continues to decline, despite utmost attempts of the heroes to stop that from happening. As the fights between the heroes and villains ravage through the country, a group of people decides to do their best to remove themselves from it. But will they be allowed to do so? [Kind of dark, with some backstory angst, but the further you go, the better it gets]

Answering the Call - All for One decided to abandon his business and once and for all. And focus on his family. Except, his eldest son, Izuku, still wants to be a hero. So he let him hang out with children of other supervillains and other soon-to-be villains of his age. Now they all want to be heroes too. So All for One decides to do the third smartest thing after mass-brainwashing of underage villains or explaining the situation to other supervillains. He blackmails Nedzu, becomes the new vice-principal of the UA, and enrolls his son and his friends in the newly opened Villain Rehabilitation Course. [total crack treated seriously, also probably Hero Class Civil Warfare-style battle between VR and Hero Course at some point.]

Exiting the Stage - The long war between One for All and All for One found its fateful conclusion. Paranormal Liberation War ended long ago... and the world took a turn for the worse. Japan is an authoritarian state, where corrupted heroes are no longer an exception but a rule, and the government - led by the woman that once led the HPSC - rules with an iron fist. Those that tried to fight against it are now long gone, either dead or in Tartarus. Now, however, a ghost from the past begins to gather others like him - those broken and forgotten - for their final performance before exiting the stage. [Grimdark. With a looot of angst. Also it's basically Ties that Bind, except for one small change in the past that resulted in everything that could go wrong go horribly wrong]
