Characters/Pairings:Harry Potter/Percy Weasley, Hermione Granger/Ron Weasley, Sirius Black/Severus Snape, Remus Lupin/Nymphadora Tonks

Summary: Harry Potter had a plan...it wasn't a very good plan, but at least it was simple.

Step 1: Don't die from the insanely difficult ritual

Step 2: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible before getting killed and/or arrested

As it goes, it was really simple...until it became clear he wasn't traveling back in time alone. Now the whole plan has to change.

Step 1: Don't die from the ritual

Step 2: Kill off current Dark Lord

Step 3: Establish following to become new Dark Lord

Step 4: Overthrow Ministry

Step 5: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible

Step 6: Keep boyfriend alive and not mad at him

It was a work in progress, but plans hadn't worked out well for Harry in the past regardless. Oh well, it's not like he could make things worse...

Summary: Izuku Midoriya was ten years old when Kacchan went just a little too far. The teacher didn't stop him. His classmates didn't stop him. Izuku himself didn't stop him. After all, who cared about a quirkless, useless boy?

Well, his mother did. And even against all odds, Inko was dead set on giving her son the justice he deserved. Luckily, she found some helpful pro heroes on the way.

Fanfic Rec: Watch Your Heroes Fall

Rating: Not rated

Archive warning: No archive warnings apply

Category:M/M, F/F

Characters/Pairings: Shoto Todoroki/Izuku Midoriya, Asui Tsuyu/Toga Himiko/Uraraka Ochako, Jirou Kyouka/Yaoyorozu Momo, Kaminari Denki/Shinsou Hitoshi, Bakugou Katsuki/Kirishima Eijirou, Aizawa Shout/Yamada Hizashi

Summary: News anchors are stationed nearby, blue fire rages over buildings, but the only ash in the air is from the thousands of flyers that drift from city rooftops to the ground.

On top of a bus stands Midoriya Izuku. His unremarkable green hair seems wild in the harsh light of Dabi’s flames. He’s flanked on either side by Shinsou Hitoshi and Yaoyorozu Momo, and in formation around them is the League of Villains.

People run screaming from the display, and news anchors know better than to get too close to the action when the League of Villains is involved– they’ve been known to injure and even kill bystanders on a whim.

The linchpin of the new group seems to be Midoriya Izuku, and as he laughs in an unhinged way and raves about the injustice of hero society, nobody is interested in what he’s saying so much as the fact that he is saying it. He’s gone off the deep end.

The pamphlets that litter the ground and begin to circulate online (even as the hero commission tries to censor them) read with just one line of text in red writing against a black background:

"Watch Your Heroes Fall"

Izuku always wanted to be a hero, until he saw what being a hero meant. So he found a better way to help others.

Summary: Shota thought discovering their ‘Nightwalker’ to be a kid was bad enough. Not to mention how the said kid is literally Quirkless, meaning the law cannot touch him.

“I don’t wanna be a Hero. It’s too troublesome”

And then this?

Maybe it’s not too late to ask Nezu for a raise this year…

.

.

Or, being a good citizen and stopping an illegal back-alley transaction resulted in him getting some High-Ranking Villain’s attention. He didn’t even raise a hand at those A-holes. Just glaring at them hard enough, they turned tail.

This second-chance of life is so not worth it. What a drag…

Characters/Pairings: Gran Torino/Shuuzenji Chiyo | Recovery Girl, Jirou Kyouka/Kaminari Denki/Shinsou Hitoshi

Summary: Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.

So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.

The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.

Summary: "Kid, you ain't got no quirk, no muscle, and no battle sense. There's no way you'll be a hero like the big man. But that's fine. Cause instead of dressing you up in star-spangled underpants, I'm gonna make you fuckin' mean."

It's not All Might who saves Izuku from the slime villain, but rather a certain cotton tailed heroine. She has a much different approach then the #1, and decides that the trembling beanstalk of a kid has enough guts to go pro. Ft. Confident! Izuku, Parental! Mirko, and enough sass to make my eyes bleed.

Summary: ‘If I promise to stop getting stuff in my hair, will you braid it again?’ Link asked ‘like, more often?’ hopefulness was laced in his eyes.

Revali slowly turned to stare hard at Link, dots slowly connecting in his mind. “If you’ve been purposefully dirtying yourself because of that, I’m going to throw you out a window”.

Link’s guilty chuckle was not a good answer.

And that’s why Revali was trying to throw Link out the window when Teba arrived to ask where the basin was. No Teba, Revali hasn’t snapped and proclaimed war on the hylians, just the one. No Teba, Revali’s not going to kill him as soon as you turn your head. Yes Teba, the hylian was asking for it.
