#i hc that quirklessness is common if your parents’ quirks don’t blend well

Thinking of an AU I came up with that I call Quirkless Club.

If 20% of the population is quirkless, where are all the other quirkless people? In this AU they'd actually get some representation.

At his middle school, Izuku attends a club for quirkless people, which functions kind of similarly to an LBGT+ club IRL. None of them really want to be a hero the same way Izuku does (so they're mostly just ignored by their classmates rather than teased like Izuku is), but they tentatively support his aspirations.

When Izuku gets OFA and is accepted into UA, his club members are the first people at his middle school who he tells about his new quirk. They don't kick him out like he thought they would, though - in fact, they heartily support him. (They all would like there to be a hero who knows what it's like to be quirkless. There's a strong disconnect between quirkless culture & hero culture.)

Even after he starts UA, he remains in contact with them. They help him figure out Full Cowl early (all that bone breaking in canon kinda squicks me out) and they help him manage a social media presence after the sports festival.

Years in the future, the public is wondering why the hero Deku's agency is full of quirkless people, who all claim to have known him for years.
