    Summary

    Tseng and Rufus meet as teenagers. Over a period of several months their relationship slowly evolves. There's some fun to be had and some harm done along the way. This fic is set about 15 years before the time period of the Remake. I've chosen not to use archive warnings or too many tags, so please read the end notes. I've finished writing this fic and will be adding new chapters on a regular basis.

    Summary

    Izuku has plans for everything.

    He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

    For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

    Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

    (Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)

    Summary

    “Was that your Quirk?” Shouto says, after a long pause.

    Midoriya laughs, light and easy. “If it’s a Quirk, then I’m not a magician, am I?”

    In which Shouto is facing his own fear, and coincidentally stumbles into a stranger. A really weird dude, honestly, but mostly well-meaning. Probably.

    Summary

    Out on a mission, Cor Leonis finds a teenager, lost and sick and partway to becoming an MT. Against the advice of all and sundry, he brings him back to Insomnia. There's not a lot of love lost for MTs in the Citadel, but some of its inhabitants may still be young enough to put aside their prejudices.
