Summary
“Midoriya, what is this?”
Aizawa was holding a piece of notebook paper that had been folded in quarters and tucked in the middle of a notebook. Izuku didn’t recognize it immediately, but when he got a glimpse of the sloppy handwriting, the blood drained from his face.
“Oh my god. I’m so sorry, that shouldn’t be in there. I’m so glad you found it, I can’t imagine if Eri saw…”
“Is this what I think it is?”
Izuku swallowed around the lump in his throat.
Aizawa had found his high school suicide note.
When looking through Izuku's old analysis notebooks from high school, Aizawa finds the suicide note Izuku wrote in his second year at UA. He insists it's all in the past, but re-reading the note sparks some reflection for Izuku. Maybe he's not as okay as he thought.

Summary
“That’s what I don’t understand!" Uraraka complains. "They went with another company just ‘cuz it was a little cheaper. You’d think that they would want to hire someone who they know will do a good job!”
“The other company won’t do a good job?” Tsuyu asks.
Uraraka rolls her eyes. “The other company contracts quirkless people. Can you believe that?”
Izuku's mouth goes dry. he feels like a wave has just washed over him. His ears feel muffled, his skin clammy.
He keeps his mouth shut.

Summary
Hunger starts small.
Kai feels it fluttering beneath his ribs, like a bird rattling against a cage. It flares and dies now and again, calling him back to that aching feeling. At first, it's nothing to note. He'll just stuff his face with whatever until it leaves.
But after a while, it takes a little more to placate. After a while, it takes too much. After a while, it takes everything.
After a while, it's all that's left. And nothing in the 16 realms can satiate it.
Except one thing.
And he hates it.
Or:
Killing the omukade turned out to leave quite the hefty consequence. Now holding it's curse, Kai finds that on some nights, only something specific can whet his appetite.
Who knew elemental masters could be so... crunchy.

Cole wakes up, hungover, in bed with some guy. He can hardly remember what happened the night before. Not entirely out of the ordinary.
What is out of the ordinary is that the guy in bed with him turns out to be Kai- And last Cole checked, Kai was VERY straight.

Summary
When the Ninja head into Kai and Nya's old village Kai keeps his head down to not be recognized (Unlike Nya, who never interacted with the village) but when at a pub and in need of a distraction, Kai has to step in and delve back into his old past times that he had hoped would stay in his past.
Or!
Kai used to be in a band at a pub. He hasn't talked about it but now they're at said pub, and in need of a distraction, what better distraction than himself? He wasn’t really ready to give a performance though (He still aced it despite that!)
(The ninja, except for Kai, don't actually remember that Kai and Nya lived there/They only remember the blacksmith and not the town or its name since it's kinda apart.)

Summary
He doesn’t know when Joker appeared, or rather more honestly: he doesn’t remember when Joker became someone different from him.
It scares him, sometimes, to have a part of himself feel so close and yet so far away; he scrambles onto the pieces that connect him and Joker and try to find a middle ground, as if there is an explanation for the vast differences that separates the real world him and the Metaverse him.
(or alternatively: Akira Kurusu tries to put the puzzle pieces of himself together and learns that coping mechanisms aren't always healthy.)

Summary
After the Merge shatters Ninjago into fractured worlds, the ninja are thrown to opposite ends of a realm they barely recognize. Kai crawls out of the Land of Monsters—starved, scarred, and changed. He carries new instincts, for some reason new appendages, and memories he refuses to speak aloud. And worst of all? Creatures from the Land of Monsters are leaking into the new world through cracks in reality… and they seem to be hunting Kai specifically.
Determined to find his family before the monsters do, Kai travels across the broken world while hiding the truth of what he survived. But secrets weigh heavy, especially when the team reunites piece by piece and start noticing the tremors beneath his smile.
Slow-burn Lava.
Very slow burn.(Also Jay has his memories because I want happy Jaya and refuse to believe he lost them)
*THIS ENTIRE FIC IS BASICALLY AN AU AND WONT FOCUS ON THE ACTUAL EVENTS OF AFTER THE MERGE!!!!! It also wont be 100% accurate to anything really! I basically just took the characters and did whatever. * Please read chapter notes before continuing!

Summary
Trapped in what feels like hell, Izuku reaches out a hand. Luckily, the person on the other end was paying attention.
---
A young Izuku is an unwilling part of the Shie Hissakai; a quirkless lab rat to further Chisaki's experimentation. His one secret, one he keeps close to his heart, is the little radio and flip phone he's managed to hide from his captors thus far. Put Your Hands Up Radio is a biweekly distraction that makes him feel like he can hang on just a little longer, a way to indulge in his passion for heroes that doesn't end with someone getting hurt.
One night he calls in, just to talk, setting him and some unwitting bystanders down a path none of them expected.

Summary
As soon as Izuku entered the room, the boy’s head snapped up.
Izuku took a step back.
A face he saw every morning in the mirror stared back at him, eyes glittering with delight. The left one was red.
“Oh, hello.”This was a bad idea.
Or: Izuku finds out UA is holding a villain under lock and key. Specifically, they’re holding him, a version of him from an alternate universe in which he never became a hero, but something far darker. Curiosity gets the better of him. He ends up regretting it.

Summary
“How terrible,” a passerby tuts, “hopefully he gets help.”
“Gross. At least have the decency to hang out in front of an alley and not in front of a business, brat,” another spat at him.
“A hero will come by to help you, I know it. Just stay strong, kid,” someone tried to assure him.
With each comment, Izuku drew further within himself. With each comment, Izuku’s hope of being saved was stamped out that much more. With each comment, Izuku wished he had been reduced to ashes like his parents.
He ended up sitting on the sidewalk for hours, hearing the same hollow reassurances and occasional insults, waiting for someone to save him. A shadow fell over him, Izuku curled even further inwards, unwilling to look at the latest good-intentioned but ultimately unhelpful person. The seconds ticked by but still no words were said. Curious as to what this person was doing, he looked up. Instead of a cruel sneer, all he saw was an outstretched hand and a warm smile.
“Come with me, child. Let me save you.”

Summary
The monitor on his ankle was a leaded weight that was getting harder to ignore by the minute. Cole had run away from two foster homes and a group home at this point, as well as having a history of self harming and an attempt, so it was understandable that he would be sent to a high risk group home. Though, the people he talked to hadn’t called it a group home. They called it a ‘monastery.’
-
The monastery is a ‘last chance’ group home for kids with, unique sets of setbacks.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku was a strange kid. Shouta would be the first to tell people, the kid was reckless and made it his mission to break every bone in his body with the same intensity as his love of heroes. He mumbled more than he seemed to actually talk and when he did, Midoriya seemed to always want to say more, but never did.
Overall, Shouta was fine with his strangeness, recklessness could be tamed provided good teaching and training. With Izuku, it would be easier than most. The kid was dedicated to a fault, he had a strong set of morals which made him first in most things that mattered; always the first to offer a hand, always the first to cheer on others, always the first to help.
But there was something else that Shouta couldn't shake; something in the way Midoriya scanned a room before entering, the way his eyes seemed to dissect a stranger seconds after meeting them, and something about the way he always seemed seconds away from asking for help.Series

Summary
Izuku fell out of his own reality at the age of 4.
To any normal person, that would mean the end. Poof, gone, a slate wiped clean and any possibilities it once held now never to be fulfilled.
But Izuku is no normal person.-
To a kid who has spent his entire life up until now pushing forward it becomes apparent just how difficult it is to go back.
-
Born with a useless Quirk now awakened to its full potential, Izuku is forced to ask himself some things--
What is the purpose of dreams when you've already seen them all? Why are there no decent Katsudon places in The Void?What is the price of humanity?
