    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya was always told he was worthless. A boy without a Quirk, without a future, without a place to belong.

    But someone saw value in him.

    Not as a hero. Not as a person. But as something to be owned, shaped, and broken.

    Pain became familiar. Fear became routine. The world outside blurred into something distant, something that no longer felt real.

    But then—he was taken back.

    Not freed. Not truly. Because the body heals, but the mind does not forget so easily. Because even in safety, the echoes of hands that once held him down still linger. Because how do you return to a world that left you behind?

    Yet, in the midst of it all, hands reach for him. A family not by blood, but by choice. People who do not expect him to heal overnight—only to keep breathing, keep going, keep living.

    And maybe, just maybe, that will be enough.

    Summary

    _____
    The next Monday, Izuku was bracing himself for the day. It was supposed to be his first day assisting in Shouta’s Foundational Heroics class and he was nervous. Actually, screw nervous, he was frayed. Every nerve ending in his body was on fire. He shouldn’t be this nervous, but he knew that all of the students would have questions for him. Nedzu had kept him busy on Saturday and on Sunday he crashed so hard after another quirk experiment that he slept the whole day and night. Shouta had to force him out of bed this morning against his will.

    Summary

    Izuku has plans for everything.

    He plans out what to say to the cashier when ordering coffee, he plans out his homework before even opening his textbook. He has a whole ten-year plan for how he’s going to get into UA’s hero course and get his hero license fully quirkless. He plans for every wild, unlikely scenario he can think of because his anxiety gets so bad if he doesn’t go through every possible outcome, every way his life could landslide into disaster–– but Izuku never planned for this.

    For once, he doesn’t have a plan and he doesn’t have time to think of one. All he can see is Yagi-san’s lined, kind face looking resigned as he stares down the villain in his shop. Yagi-san, who is the closest thing to a father figure Izuku has ever had.

    Izuku doesn’t think. He just moves.

    (Or: Izuku saves the number one hero, gets a hero license way earlier than anyone wanted, realizes that maybe hero society isn’t as great as he thought it was, and everything just kind of falls apart from there.)
