Summary
“That was a bold claim you made earlier, Todoroki,” Eraserhead says. In the silence, his voice is like a gunshot. “Are you really going to surpass every hero that has come before you? What about your classmates? Will you surpass them, too?”
Katsuki grins. “Of course.”

The son pays for the sins of the father. Always.

Summary
“Every fuckin’ time you speak, I lose brain cells.” Bakugo snaps at Kaminari—whose grin immediately turns less genuine and more scared.
But Eijirou, in all his sleep deprived and exhausted state, just ends up… not taking this verbal warning seriously and mumbles out “And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly…” past sharp teeth.
If looks could kill, you did not want to be Eijirou Kirishima.

Summary
“I want to see my mom,” Bakugou says. “And my dad. And Izuku.”
“Is Izuku your friend?”
Bakugou gives a distracted nod, eyebrows furrowing. “Yeah. He’s tiny.” And he slices his hand through the air a couple feet off the ground, like he’s showing just how tiny Midoriya is. “And he cries a lot. I always have to save his stupid ass because he’s fucking useless.”
And there it is, Shouta thinks. The cursing.

“Bakugou,” the child says, staring up at Shouta. “My name is Bakugou Katsuki.”

Summary
Is a twisted bond really so twisted when it once felt like everything? What is happiness, anyways? What kind of hero can Katsuki even be in this sort of society?
Or,
“I mean to say…well, do you see Izuku as a person?” Shouto Todoroki had asked him, "I think you see him as a symbol to strive towards. To chase."
…And promptly turned the next 4 years of Katsuki Bakugou's life upside down.
"What kind of hero are you without Izuku Midoriya?"
And just what is heroism, anyways?
OR—Izuku insists he has everything he wants. Katsuki can’t say the same about himself. So, he’s going to find his birds and make them sing, even if he has to force them, dammit!

Summary
Shouto didn't know much about his twin sister. She was an Edgeshot fan, had a raging collection of manga, and liked Natsuo the best.
She also wasn't supposed to be at U.A., but he sure as hell wasn't telling their father about it.

Summary
“How much English do you know?”
Izuku joined him on the floor. “Basic phrases, some verb conjugations. I could probably introduce myself and ask a few questions.”
Katsuki flashed him a smug look. “So nothing important.”
Izuku suppressed the urge to smack the back of Katsuki’s head, thinking resolutely of his Pros and Cons list.
***
Katsuki is fluent in English. Izuku wants in. Unfortunately for all parties involved, learning a language takes a bucket of time, a spoonful of consistency, a gratuitous pinch of motivation and several large helpings of persistence. Too bad they forgot the communication.
Alternate title: how creative can Bakugou get with his insults before they turn into terms of endearment?

Summary
Midoriya’s quirk isn’t what anyone is expecting. That's not to say it’s bad, quite the opposite, it’s just that things are put in a different perspective when you regularly die. Midoriya still dreams of becoming a hero, and when he does- well no one was expecting this.
Aizawa needs a vacation. All Might doesn’t know how to handle his suicidal successor.
Bakugou is the only student that isn’t absolutely terrified of this cheerful yet surprisingly deadly hero in training.And Midoriya? Well, he’s a little bitch with no regard for personal safety, and someone decided to give him an enhanced strength quirk on top of it.
AKA Midoriya has an immortality quirk and no one knows how to handle it, including Midoriya himself. Might as well fake it till he makes it. What’s the worst that can happen?

Summary
Todoroki Shoto will be a hero.
...But not just yet. Right now, Todoroki Shoto is a bitter, pessimistic, hurt teenager who doesn't want help, friends or hinderances of any kind getting in the way of his misguided goals.
Thankfully, there will soon be people in his life who will be more than happy to drag him into a place of happiness, safety, and acceptance - kicking and screaming the whole way, if they have to. All he has to do is survive his first meeting with them and all the incredible changes that will come after.
This is Todoroki Shoto's Hero Academia.
(Semi-canon compliant up to a point and told from Todoroki Shoto's POV.)
