Summary
One arrest made, and suddenly the whole world knows about the abuse going on in the Todoroki household.
Shouta doesn’t understand how he missed it.
He missed other problems, too, mistaking them for teenage antics. Class 1-A needs a far closer scrutiny. And maybe Shouta needs help – fortunately, Hizashi is always there for him.
Shouta gave Bakugou a tired glare, like a quiet admonition of ‘did you just try to get into a shouting match with Present Mic? are you stupid?’

Summary
About a week after that, All Might asked Izuku if he was aiming for the hero course at UA. The question was so sudden that Izuku nearly dropped a microwave on his toes.
The truth was, if All Might had asked him that a week ago, there would have only been one possible answer to that question. All Might had gone to UA, UA was the best, so Izuku was going to go there too, if he could. But things were a little different, now that he was going to receive All Might’s Quirk.
“No,” he said, decisively.
All Might looked caught off guard, which was a very rare expression on him. “No?” he echoed, like he couldn’t believe it.
A laugh bubbled out of Izuku’s throat. He honestly couldn’t believe it either. “No,” he repeated.
___
Or, All Might tells Izuku about All for One before he gives him One for All, and everything changes.

Summary
Quirkless, young adult Midoriya Izuku has a problem. Namely, he has a crush on his purple haired, tired-looking neighbor. They keep running into each other and the guy is actually pretty nice under that deadpan facade, has a sense of humor, doesn't seem to judge anyone for their quirk status, and is constantly spoiling any cat in the building that finds him. (He's also a shameless flirt.)
But Izuku has concerns. About the strange bruises and bloodied knuckles. About the weapons he's seen when stopping by for a cup of sugar. About the shady-looking figures he's accidentally spotted his neighbor meeting with. About the fact that right after the news reported a big crime bust, his neighbor came home beat all to hell and looking haunted.
Izuku has a problem. Namely, he has a crush on his neighbor, who he's pretty sure is secretly a villain. And he has no idea what to do with that.
(or: Adult!ShinZuku AU where Shinsou is an underground, undercover pro hero trying to find a lead on a case that may or may not involve the socially awkward guy living next door. Misunderstandings abound.)

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.
(This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

Summary
The Todoroki family, historically, is kind of the worst at being in the same house together. Natsuo's track record of storming out of the house after two days max is well known. But this winter break's supposed to be different, with Enji out of town for most of it, so Natsuo gives it another shot out of the goodness of his heart. What's the worst that could happen?
If worst comes to worst, he'll just leave again.

Summary
The diner on the corner by the 7 Eleven stays open after midnight and caters to an unusual crowd.
Hitoshi is just curious how his favorite human waiter went this long without noticing anything strange.
***
Hitoshi traced the heart engraved onto the tabletop with a bitten-to-shit nail. He didn't care who had crawled out of their crypt for the night or who was wandering the city after the witching hour. Right now, it wasn't his job to care, and he hadn't come here to mingle. He came here for coffee. Dark roast. Cream, no sugar. Waffles a la mode on a bad night. And—
“Hey, stranger.”
He jerked upright.
And the only human awake in this corner of Musutafu, apparently.

Summary
“Let me get this straight,” the boy watched him, green eyes guarded. “There was someone in your house tonight.”
The boy’s mask slipped for a moment, clearly not expecting that. “Um, yes?”
“They were probably dangerous. I mean, they had a weapon,” Shouta said sternly.
“Yeah…” the boy gave Shouta a confused look.
“And you, no offense, are an unarmed, uncoordinated child,” Shouta pointed out.
The boy’s nose crinkled, slightly offended. “Yeah, I guess,” he admitted bitterly.
“So what possessed you to shout ‘come at me, little bitch?’” Shouta asked, exasperated.
