    Summary

    If Aizawa-sensei is right (he is) and Izuku can be a hero without a quirk, then maybe there are a few other people who could also be heroes if given a chance. So Izuku uses his analysis skills and his intern connections (family) to develop Plan R: Reform. Aizawa helps, but is a little busy with Plan R: Revenge. Don't worry, he has his own allies (family) to make sure no one hurts his Problem Child again.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.

    Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.

    Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

    Summary

    Aizawa Shouta hasn’t seen or heard anything of Shirakumo Oboro in over a decade, mostly by design, but he’s thought of him every day since his death.

    And then he watches Shirakumo Izuku, younger brother of Shirakumo Oboro, take down the zero-pointer, and he knows he’s already identified one problem child of the year.
