Summary
Aizawa refuses to let his Problem Child travel back in time alone, even to fix a future where All for One was the victor. They go back with a plan that's more of a list, spend a year technically missing, and become rather effective vigilantes that fix some rather serious problems. And then it's time to be found, which seems to primarily result in lots of support and many hugs. Neither Izuku or Aizawa complain very much.

Hits the right beats in the right ways — the moves are clever, the length of back flashes and other scenes hits a satisfying rhythm, and the angst/comfort/crack balance delivers without dramatization. Immersive, believable, funny, sweet, with a fantastic blend of Izuku+Aizawa teamwork dynamic, interpersonal softness with other characters, and uncommon moves (like the plot with Touya, the plan for Shigaraki, and the stuff with the Doctor’s changes). I could enjoy another 10,000 words in this fic without feeling like it was overdone! -

Summary
fuckass hero (7:14pm): What did you do?
What he had to. Izuku did what he had to. Not that he was going to tell Eraserhead that, of all people, but for everyone else to note: he did what he had to, and nothing extra, nothing more. It wasn’t like Izuku had a track record for anything else, after all. He liked pissing off heroes. He liked stealing from villains. He liked warmth. He liked resting his head on the quilt his Mom made him. He liked not being sick—not that he had that opportunity very often. The point was: he did what he had to, and he did it well, and he didn’t dilly-dally doing jackshit in yellow-tape like cops and heroes did. Suck on that, Eraserhead.
(or: text conversations between a sick vigilante and a not-sick hero. and every now and then, whatever else happens inside of his house.)

Bookmarking this (and subscribing juuuust in case it ever gets bonus chaps) because I can’t imagine a world in which I don’t end up wanting to come back and reread this. I know this is gonna be one of the fics that sticks with me and itches at the back of my skull. I love the narrative style (the way he thinks, the way he describes, the way there isn’t any shying away from ‘difficult’ mindsets, the commitment to actually feeling it) and the design (the texts and calls are fun, and so is the pacing of the sentence and paragraph lengths). It’s giving a similar vibe to Lukewarmbeefstew’s “next to you, from a distance,” and it’s even more intense in terms of Izuku’s mindset and situation, which I’m loving. Very well written. I actually came here from Lukewarmbeefstew’s “the cat, the hero, and the disaster” because I decided to check out the agoraphobia tag after enjoying it so much in that fic— love how it was portrayed in this one.

Summary
You know the story. Bakugou is kidnapped from the Quirk Training Camp, despite Midoriya and company’s best efforts to save him. This, however, is not that story. In this universe, the League of Villains Vanguard Action Squad is after Pro Hero Eraser Head. All for One has waited 14 years for this moment; it’s finally time to turn Erasure on that sanctimonious fool, All Might.
Aizawa Shouta’s cooperation is not required.

Bookmarker's Notes
Finished this last night— so bittersweet to reach the end, because I loved it so much! So much incredible detail and characterization throughout. It made the world feel rich and alive, and like the author went above and beyond (Plus Ultra)! I loved how moments from earlier on, both the angsty and the silly, continued to thread through the entire story, because they made the entire thing feel cohesive. I wouldn’t have expecting a fic with so many chapters dedicated to therapy to be so engaging and well-written, but this is EXACTLY how this kind of concept should be executed. The way ‘sciencey’ stuff was written narratively reminds me of some of the examples of good scientific narrative writing, like Suzanne Simard’s “Finding the Mother Tree” or some of the works published in the “The Best American Science and Nature Writing” series.
I’m often skeptical of OCs in fics (only because I come to fanfic specifically to read about characters from the canon), but the side character OCs provided fresh air to some of the moments that *could* have been lacking, making room for more relational development and emotional beats in the story. Loved the nurses at Kaifuku! I also adored how some of the minor characters from BNHA got incorporated, like Hoshi and Zenko <3 I fell in love with them!
Characters I didn’t expect to see so well-written and yet so different from common depictions in fanfic include: Shouta himself, Yamada, Dr. Garaki, Hawks, La Brava, and Gentle ‘Conspiracist.’ When Hawks briefly showed up at the beginning I was blown away by how, with only brief descriptions and dialogue, his character come through in 3D. Garaki was unusually-but-extremely compelling. The changes to Gentle and La Brava’s details were inspired! I don’t know if I’ve liked any depiction of Present Mic more than the one in this fic, and Shouta’s thought processes and growth were relatable and reminded me of my own journey out of the time when my mental health was at its worst. I feel like I learned a lot about mental health and writing from reading this fic.
I spent several hours the other night telling my friend, who doesn’t read fanfic and has only finished the Spots Festival arc of BNHA all about this story, and even they thought it was supremely compelling.
I also adored all of the elements that went above and beyond just writing a narrative— the Japanese words at the beginning of every chapter and the collages added even more richness. I love it when authors do things like this! It makes it feel even more like an experience, more polished.

Summary
“As you can see, the cuffs haven’t cut off whatever illusion you’re casting. You need to tell us who you are, and what kind of quirk you’ve been hit with to make you look like that.”
“I’m… Midoriya Izuku?”
“Wrong answer. Tell us your name- Your REAL name.”
“Why do you keep saying that? I AM Midoriya Izuku!”
“You’re not.”
“And why not?”
“Because Midoriya Izuku died four months ago.”
Or:
After a world-ending Virus kills everyone Izuku loves, he’s sent to a parallel universe where he’s the only one who died. The only problem is, he isn’t the same Izuku they lost- and he might not get to stay.

Summary
When Midoriya is hit with a mental quirk, he learns why Bakugou’s anger, well and truly, is a gift.
-----
“What do you mean you ‘can’t anymore?’” Aizawa-sensei stills, leveling his gaze at Midoriya, irises seemingly glow red in the dark.
“Feelings,” It’s Midoriya’s turn to gesture at nothing. Maybe admitting this non-issue will make Aizawa-sensei leave. “I don’t have them anymore. They’re there; it’s just, I don’t know. Maybe I can’t access the complete scale.”
“What.”
“It’s weird but definitely not a concern.”
Aizawa-sensei drops his head and groans, long and loud, followed by an even longer stream of swears that would make Bakugou proud.

Bookmarker's Notes
I don’t know if I can express how complete this fic made me feel. This deconstruction of the emotional state and the connections that were drawn between aspects of Bakugo’s behavior and the ways Izuku was feeling made a strong impression on me.
My favorite example was the nickname connection, where we got to see Izuku first notice a change in referring to Bakugo as “Bakugo” instead of “Kacchan,” then saw the symptoms that talked about ways of lingering to build up security through familiarity, then remembered Bakugo’s reaction to Izuku using his name instead of the nickname of the past decade, wrapping up with these lines:
[The mean nicknames are a sign of affection. Using the term ‘shitty’ means there’s something Kacchan admires about a person. ‘Fuck off, Deku’ usually means, ‘I’m feeling a lot right now, and you’ll be a punching bag if you stay.’]
Bakugo using nicknames like Deku and Shitty Hair like tags to go “this is my relationship with them,” or “this is a safe constant” feels so right and meaningful to me.NOTES TO SELF:
- Return here for inspiration on fuller Katsuki characterization
- Return here for an example of how to compellingly weave psychological analysis with actual character interactions. This fic has characters acting and reacting in a way that is proportional to each other rather than theatrical (lacking believability and payoff). -

Summary
Hyuna takes his wrist in her hand, fingers circling around it completely, pressing hard enough to bruise.
“I’ll break it,” she threatens.
Luka laughs.
It bubbles up in his throat and spills through his lips without his consent, a stream of giggles, as tears prick at the corners of his eyes. It’s hilarious. Snap his wrist, and he’ll finally have a distraction from the pain splitting his skull. He’ll finally have something else to think about, and an excuse to miss classes for a day, and a good enough reason to have painkillers pumped into his veins until everything is completely, blissfully, numb.
“Do it,” he begs. “Hyuna, do it.”

The humor-angst ratio throughout this fic is perfect. The characterization, the humor, the flow of the plot, the reveals and the secrets and everything--
I adore everyting about this.
I love Kim Dokja's multiple identity thing he's got going on, and all of the little 'inconvenient' things that made each plot point possible. The streaming chat was so entertaining, and any Kyrgios on-screen time was to die for. Yoo Joonghyuk's character is so hard to get right to me, but you really did it, and Kim Dokja's relationships with all of the different characters feels so fleshed out. -

YJH’s perception of KDJ: “Kim Dokja was clever and ruthless and a fierce heart beating through too many walls”…
This fic broke me in a good way. I felt tears starting up for some parts, and the actual events and pacing of information are engaging to the point that I stayed awake too late and didn’t get up early enough just to read this all within the space of less than 12 hours.
Soulmate AU where streaming gamer YJH doesn’t realize he has a soulmate. ‘Fulgurations,’ projections of their daily lives, are sent to a soulmate. -

“Yes,” All for One agreed. “This will be the final resting place of All Might.”
“You,” Midoriya Izuku said and paused, thinking over the words. He sounded taken aback. “You want me to help fight All Might.”
“Of course,” All for One nodded along. “I can offer you double of whatever my counterpart is paying you currently, along with anything your little heart could desire. Of course, you would get to help out drastically—"
“Did you happen to check what world you were pulling me out of when you did this?” Midoriya Izuku interrupted and it was said in such an incredulous tone that had the situation not been as critical as it was, All Might would have laughed.
Also known as: number one hero Deku has been through a lot of things, but being thrust into an alternate reality where he’s All for One’s Successor is a first. He has to navigate this world when his alternate self is a villain who's dead-set on killing him and this version of class 1-A. All the while, his friends search desperately for a way to get him back.

Summary
(Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)
Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”
“Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”
“Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”
“I-I’m what?! W-wait!”
tl;dr
Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

I love the self-doubt, the surreal feeling, the dissociation that Kim Dokja would have to feel post-epilogue. Sometimes fics with those elements pick the reader up, let them feel the fear and instability, and just leave them to float or be tossed at the end (which is of course sometimes the feeling the reader wants). This one was so gentle— I felt like my feet were placed back on solid ground with how soft that ending was. -

With every chapter I read, I had to alternate holding back real laughter or overwhelming admiration. The characterization never felt OOC, and the humor was right on track with SingNSong’s style (the ‘Kim Dokja is Not a Car’ fable killed me each time you brought it back).
This story felt like it was made by someone putting in the time and love and work to do the research and appreciate the characters and— the care in it feels like ‘reverence,’ an appreciation for a story that has meant so much to many people, but especially to one reader. That’s exactly the way ORV makes me feel, too. I’ve seen ORV described as a love letter to the reader, and this fanfic read to me like the second part to that love letter, or a love letter responding to ORV.
