    Summary

    “I guess getting to the root of things, I—“

    “We!” Hizashi cut in, earning an annoyed look from Aizawa to which he simply grinned cheekily.

    “We,” Aizawa began again with an eye roll before turning his attention fully back to Midoriya. “Would like to extend an offer.”

    He could visibly see the wheels turning in Izuku’s head, the realization dawning over his face. “What—“

    “Midoriya Izuku, would you like to officially join our pack?”

    Summary

    Nedzu tilted his head. “According to our records, despite someone attempting to do everything they could to detach you from this fact, you are, in fact, the child of a legal Hero.”

    Aizawa sucked in a hissed breath as Yagi’s attention snapped to Midoriya…Midoriya who seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.

    Yagi’s voice wavered. “Young Midoriya…”

    “Do you understand what this means, Midoriya?” Nedzu asked calmly, folding his paws in front of him.

    Midoriya did not answer.

    Aizawa decided to speak for him. “You are a Legacy.”

    Summary

    About a week after that, All Might asked Izuku if he was aiming for the hero course at UA. The question was so sudden that Izuku nearly dropped a microwave on his toes.

    The truth was, if All Might had asked him that a week ago, there would have only been one possible answer to that question. All Might had gone to UA, UA was the best, so Izuku was going to go there too, if he could. But things were a little different, now that he was going to receive All Might’s Quirk.

    “No,” he said, decisively.

    All Might looked caught off guard, which was a very rare expression on him. “No?” he echoed, like he couldn’t believe it.

    A laugh bubbled out of Izuku’s throat. He honestly couldn’t believe it either. “No,” he repeated.

    ___

    Or, All Might tells Izuku about All for One before he gives him One for All, and everything changes.

    Summary

    ...recorded in front of a live studio audience.

    (This isn’t the worst thing in the world to happen, he thinks. Though maybe that says something about him and his life. How being concussed and kidnapped by the League of Villains ranks pretty low on his list of weird shit he’s been through. He’d have to mention that to his therapist, see what she says.

    Regardless, he’s strapped down and listening to the same old evil monologues. Anxiety medication + confidence-building exercises + head wound = (1) Very Tired Izuku and (1) Very Roasted League of Villains.)
