Summary
We all know how the story of my hero academia unfolded, and Midoriya Izuku's explanation for his sudden power development... But what if he truly was a late bloomer and developed a quirk that awoke in a situation eerily similar to what happened in the first episode? What if with the emergence of this power also came a slight change in what Midoriya believed made a good hero? What if his goal was to become... the fastest hero alive?

Summary
Izuku inherited his parents’ quirks, but he swore he’d never use his fire.
He knows first hand how—bright, burning, scorching, painful, terrifying, destructive—it is, after all, and Izuku promised (promised his crying mother, promised his burning self, promised the laughing memory of his father) that he’d become a hero who stops that kind of despair.
Even if he has to burn his own wings to do so.
But when someone with the exact same problems, fears, and pain shows up... Izuku can't help but try to heal them. And in doing so, he himself may be healed too.

Summary
He was… f a l l i n g.
In one moment,
Midoriya IzukuMikumo had been fighting alongside Kacchan and the blond’s friends in the streets in front of Tatooin Station. He had agreed to leave his new home on the beach behind and go with them to join the resistance against Lord All For One.In the next, Mikumo was blinking stars from his eyes as people milled around in the streets in front of Tatooin Station. He had miscalculated and was now far from any home he had known. Far from his own time, as he would soon find out.
Shooting stars are only just the beginning, a new start. Brilliant streaks in the sky before burning up into stardust. He’s already witnessed many. Maybe this time will be kinder?
Well… he could only wish upon a star.

Summary
46 chromosomes, 23 pairs. They're miniscule things, and yet, they constitute who someone is as a person. Whether they'll be tall, short, have blue eyes or green, brown hair or blond. But... What else do they decide? Quirks? Thoughts? Emotions?
There are so many questions to ask, and Izumi Midoriya, a girl with bright green eyes and dark green hair, thinks that she doesn't quite want to know the answers. Can she be good if all that she comes from is bad?
Shouta Aizawa has a chance encounter with a young vigilante who, for better or for worse, seems to have more potential in her pinkie finger than his entire class at Yuuei. Of course, she turns out to be a problem child who refuses to accept help for anything, and insists that she isn't worth wasting his time on. He's set on proving her wrong.
However, things start to become confusing the more Aizawa runs into her-just what is her Quirk, and why does she insist it's evil? Shouta doesn't know, but he's certain of one thing: he refuses to let her potential go to waste. Everything would just go so much smoother if she wasn't doing gymnastics using the line between 'legal' and 'illegal' as a balance beam.

Summary
Izuku’s quirk is Rebirth. Every death resets his life—but not his memories. Now alive again, he’s plotting a quiet rescue, a bit of chaos, and possibly a brighter future.
Or!
He’s been a hero, a vigilante, a sidekick, and a nobody. Reborn once more, Izuku decides to rewrite the rules—starting with saving a lab rat named Nezu.
