Summary
“I traded my life force for a death blow,” All Might said, and he smiled even with his teeth stained crimson. “Afterward, I had strength enough to warp back to Tokyo, where the wizards were able to sustain me. I will live, so long as I stay here.”
Dread, cold and clammy, grappled Izuku’s stomach. “Someone stole your life force and tried to kill you?”
“No, my boy,” All Might said, cupping his cheek with a phantom hand, “I saw a hero dying, and I gave it away.”

Jirou set her palms on the counter, pushed up until she was sitting on its edge. "Tell me then. What is stopping you?"
Momo bit her lip. "The words—they don't match the shape of what I feel."

Summary
Pain sharing soulmates made much more sense than quirk backlash. There was simply no correlation between her quirk use and the phantom pain that sometimes decorated her, like the colored parts on an old apple. But the solution created a new problem. Someone far away was experiencing this hurt first hand.

Summary
Momo had been thinking much the same thing, if from a different angle. Midoriya, Bakugou, and Todoroki had been the most effective fighters back in high school. In her mind they were the top three heroes in the country.
So if the three of them had been summoned by the hero commission to investigate a quirk accident on this remote island, why had her presence been requested as well?

Summary
"All Might told me not to come for you," Midoriya-kun said.
That's when Tenya noticed that his gaze was leveled not at the woman in front of them, but at the camera lense behind her.
"But you aren't the only one who can disobey your master."

Strike You Down by granny_griffin for Withstarryeyes
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia

Summary
Izuku looked up at the treetops, searching for a place to grab and pull himself up again. He could imagine the movement in his mind’s eye, but could not quite bring himself to believe that he would be able to do it. His limbs felt sluggish now that he had stopped moving, heavy like he had only just climbed out of bed.
“I don’t feel right,” Izuku blurted before he could frighten himself into staying silent. “I wonder—I don’t see anything. But maybe this is someone’s quirk.”

Summary
Mogami stepped forward, slow and deliberate, like a boat built to cut through ice. She was shorter than Izuku, so she couldn't really tower over him, but that was the feeling she gave off when she leaned forward to inspect the table.
"I got caught in the rain," Izuku said, "So—I'm trying to fix—the pages were sticking together, and—"
"Oh!" Mogami yelped, and she dropped the carton. In half a second she had grabbed it again, turned it back right side up, but most of the contents had already spilled out over the drying papers.
or, Midoriya is having a bad time and then things get worse

Summary
“You good man?” Kirishima said, setting his chopsticks down.
“Fine!” Deku gasped.
“You sure about that?” Todoroki said.
Deku sat quiet for a second. “I’m okay,” he said finally. It sounded tentative.
Uraraka put her hand on his arm. “You’d tell us if something was up, right Deku?”
Slowly, Deku nodded. Like a liar.
or, something is really wrong with Midoriya, but he refuses to tell any of his friends about it

Summary
When Katsuki entered the hospital room, Deku didn’t look up at him.
“We all think you’re the one most likely to get a response,” Iida had told him.
But they hadn’t sent him in first, because everyone had agreed the response might not be positive.

Summary
"He'll be there in four minutes," Uraraka said, "You're in a hotel room now? Are you safe?"
Izuku stared down at the desk—the notepad and the phone stand sitting there alone. He should say yes—whatever he was missing, someone had clearly set this up for him. Nothing about this looked seedy. No one was here to hurt him.
"Deku?"
"I think," Izuku said, mouth moving like molasses, "Uraraka, I think—something's wrong."
The dial tone sounded.
or, Midoriya's been kidnapped, but he's pretty sure he's not the one in danger

Summary
“Hang on,” Kacchan said, louder than he’d been talking, “You mean we should have saved him?”
There was still time—Izuku could apologize for bringing him up, for talking this way about someone who had hurt Kacchan so badly. The words wouldn’t come. Even seeing Kacchan hadn’t had the effect he’d been hoping for, hadn’t made him feel any differently.
“The hands guy?” Kacchan said, “Almost killed me twice? Kidnapped me that one time? Tried to kill All Might at the USJ?”
Izuku slipped down off the bed. “Goodnight Kacchan.”
Kacchan stopped dead in his train of thought. He didn’t say anything else as Izuku crept back out into the hall and pulled the door shut behind him.

Summary
"Have you ever beat up a classmate?" Bakugou demanded.
Hitoshi broke from his grasp, set his feet in a firm stance. "Can't say that I have. But there's a first time for everything."
"Hit me and Deku breaks the window," Bakugou said.
Hitoshi glanced to the side. Sure enough, they stood in front of a tall window. Inside, Midoriya had left the kitchen to watch them.
"Look," Bakugou said, "We're gonna pretend we made up. And then this weekend, you're gonna meet me at Ogawa Park."
or, Shinsou finds out about Midoriya’s past and decides to fight Bakugou about it
