    Summary

    Izuku went through a lot of phases as a kid. Dinosaurs. Quantum physics. Pre-quirk ducks. Being a hero (though that one stuck). And that, combined with an active imagination and few friends had left him with more than a few fond memories of playing pretend during the summer he spent with his father while his mother gained her Villain Response Team certificate.

    At five, he’d been so lonely that he’d concocted an imaginary quirk that let him create fog and even clouds when the hot sun became too oppressive at Dad's summer estate. Sue him, he’d had a meteorology phase too.

    At twelve, he could explain the longing that defined his childhood fantasies.

    At thirteen, he desperately clung to the words his Father whispered into his ears that summer before he had become too busy for his quirkless son.

    But at fourteen, when he awoke panting with One For All crackling at his fingertips, he could not explain the low hanging fog, no clouds, that covered his bedroom.

    Summary

    "If you wanna be a hero that badly, there’s a quick way to do it. Believe that you’ll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off the roof!”

    When Katsuki’s comment comes at just the wrong time, Izuku takes his advice. But it is not the end.

    Alternatively:
    In another world where Izuku is attacked by the sludge villain on the way to school instead of after it, his dreams get crushed too soon. With nothing to save him and Katsuki’s words ringing in his ears, Izuku decides to end it all by jumping off his school’s roof. As his body cracks on the ground, Izuku does not pass on to the next world. Instead, he is left as a ghost among many others. When the slime villain escapes from jail and attacks the person Izuku can’t help but care for, he learns that there may be more to his afterlife than he thought.

    And maybe he can be a hero after all.
