Summary
The beauty of the era of quirks wasn't the amazing abilities; it was that nobody sane would even entertain the thought that Kuroko, the most wanted vigilante in all of Japan, was Quirkless.

Summary
Izuku didn't know what he was doing when he took his hand. When he said yes. All he knew was that he was going to be a hero, no matter what anyone had said. He was going to help people.
But then it all turned out to be a lie. The one person he thought he could trust a villain that wanted to use him to kill in his stead. He thought he was going to do good, in the end all he was made for was tearing apart the lives of villains, civilians and heroes alike, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
So when he sees his chance, he takes it. And he runs as far and as fast as he could. Every chance for a future shattered by his own choices, and no chance for rest in a constant race against time.
Izuku thought he was going to be a hero.
Instead he became nothing more than a homeless kid running blind from everything he knew, just trying to do some good and hoping it might be enough to make up for every time he'd failed.
And then something changes, when a certain underground hero takes on his case.

better luck next time by nauticalwarrior

Summary
As he falls, he lets himself think about it. He lets himself think that if he wakes up, if things go back again, it means that he does have a quirk. It means he really can take a swan dive off a roof and hope for better luck in his next life. It means that all along, he’s been useless and worthless because he hasn’t died yet.
He hits the ground.
And then he opens his eyes.

Ghosting [DISCONTINUED] by HeartBandages

Summary
When Midoriya Izuku wants something, he figures out how to get it.
Maybe it's not the best coping mechanism, but being the class clown (and class vigilante, although nobody knows that yet) has proven to be the best way for a quirkless freak to get some sort of positive affirmation. Yeah, he's useless, but at least he's funny. As the vigilante Ghost, he meets Eraserhead and saves civilians during daring escapades. But as the newly-quirked Izuku, his abusive father has come back and everyone in UA seems to hate him for making jokes.
In other words; follow Izuku on his adventures through UA as he suffers in many various ways! Might include a ship after a while, but will not be romance-oriented. Read the tags for possible TWs!
!!!! //this is not my original story; a friend of mine came up with the idea and most of the plot\\ !!!!

Summary
A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!
La traduccion al espanol by MichiHolmes! Gracias!

One day, his strumming was not answered.
The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.
(He was going to die out here. Alone.)

"Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."
"Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"
"Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.
Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

Summary
“Hello, Mr. Grace,” she said, not bothering to extend her hand out to greet him, “I’m Eva Stratt with the Petrova Taskforce which, if you are not otherwise aware, operates in tandem with the United Nations."
Oh? The Petrova Taskforce? A short while before he’d fucked off to somewhere, Ryland had explained to Colt something about the Petrova Line, so it sounded distantly familiar. And incredibly not important to anything Colt would ever be involved in.
He was confused.
“Uh. Hi. You already know my name, so…”
She raised an eyebrow for half a second, then lowered it again.
“It was given to me by your brother, Dr. Ryland Grace.”
(Ryland isn't taking care of himself. Eva Stratt enlists his twin brother Colt to do it for him.)

Years ago, after his accident, Colt Seavers drove his twin brother away in a fit of grief, pain and rage.
When Ryland Grace embarks on a one-way trip into the depths of space without even saying goodbye, Colt is left behind on Earth. With a thousand questions, and enough grief and regret to fill an ocean, he has no choice but to live with it.
And perhaps uncover what Eva Stratt is hiding from him and the rest of the world.Bookmarked by IAmTheBi_inBitch

Summary
There was one universal constant as far as drifting went: twin’s had the best compatibility.
Ryland? Ryland was not a pilot. He understood the situation, the threat, the stakes, everything that was on the line. But he was not a Jaeger pilot.
He looked at Colt, he knew Colt wouldn’t ask him directly. And wasn’t that really its own sort of asking?
Or
Colt just lost his co-pilot. That didn’t mean the danger stopped.
