    Summary

    Toshinori reaches a hand, the one that is shattered beyond repair and drenched in blood. He gives a smile to the boy. He can feel blood smeared across his teeth. He can't imagine his smile is any reassurance, but Toshinori is dying and desperate. A piss-poor smile is all he can give.

    A piss-poor smile, and an earth-shattering quirk.

    'I have a healing quirk,' he lies, begging the boy with his eyes. Please, say yes. Please accept my DNA. 'It only works on others. Let me h-help you? I won't last.' Toshinori's words come more and more haltingly. He can feel cold darkness encroaching on his limbs already. He tilts his hand, just slightly, just enough to renew his offer to the boy. 'At-At least… Not long enough… For help to arrive in time.'

    *

    Yagi Toshinori gets caught in a building collapse in his powered-down form. As he lays dying and without a successor, he offers his quirk to a young boy who is trapped alongside him.

    All Might never makes it out of the building. But Midoriya Izuku does.

    With no parent and a new limb-breaking quirk, he becomes a ward of UA.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya has been told his entire life that he was useless and that the world would be a better place without him. When you hear something for so long, you begin to believe it. After Izuku hits his breaking point he finally decides to go through with it...or at least he tries.

    I have a tiktok if you wanna go check it out. My user is @saavaageauthor and there you will find Desperately Departing content, non-canon (and canon) angst, and more!

    Summary

    Kintsugi: The Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It represents the idea that broken doesn't mean unfixable. That even something shattered can be made into a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.

    Izuku knows that life will always be unfair to people like him. He knows that he can't bring his mother back from the dead or make his father love him. He knows he's destined for a life of loneliness and pain. Knows that his goal to be a quirkless hero is nearly impossible.

    Izuku knows that he's broken.

    But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
    Will Izuku let them?

    Summary

    Izuku stands by what he said earlier. He was not some self-righteous vigilante that was traipsing around the southside late at night, making friends with villains and being hunted down by heroes.

    He was an almost-vigilante.

    Duh.

    OR: Izuku is a very oblivious analytical genius, Nedzu takes notice, and canon gets shot out back, repeatedly.

    Summary

    “Do you ever get tired of it?” Touya asked. “Eating shit food out of dumpsters and bathing in public bathrooms?”

    “I do,” Izuku answered, honestly. “But I’m free this way.”

    “What if you could be free and have a roof over your head too?”

    Izuku gave him an amused look. “I can’t. I’m eight years old and, technically, don’t exist. It’s not as if I could get a job to pay rent.”

    “I could though,” Touya said, voice oddly strained as he made the offer. “If you wanted. To live like that, instead.”

    Wherein Izuku has All for One, uses it to help whoever he can, and stumbles across a family along the way.
