    Summary

    Wind rustled in dappled feathers. Who would've thought a Thursday night could be this quiet in the city. He looked up at the stars, or at least the ones visible through the lights beaming from the buildings stretching over the landscape. He watched them ,dusting the sky like the dapples on his wings, or the freckles on his cheeks. The cheeks that were currently marred with dark blues and yellows that extended to the brow. He didn't want to go back there. The teens days were all but filled with treating wounds that would reopen from harsh beatings and curses filled with resentment. The word "home" had lost it's definition so long ago, he felt more at home on some random rooftop than he ever did at that apartment. He looked down, feet swinging. Cold concrete under him. He let the wind sway him back and forth, playing with the feeling of weightlessness, before he leaned forward and dropped.

    or; Izuku has a barn owl mutation, has a very bad time growing up, meets some heroes and then has a bit of a better time c:

    Summary

    He wasn't expecting to see a tall, blue-haired boy kneeling over his body and panicking. Large hands grab his shoulders, propping him up a bit and shaking him violently.

    The boy even tries to find his pulse at one point, and screams when he can't find it.

    Oh, no.

    Izuku takes the entrance exam, with behind the scenes help of Nedzu, and scares the soul out of one Iida Tenya.

    Summary

    “Midoriya Izuku, is it?” The voice asks, and Izuku can feel his hypothetical soul leave his hypothetical body. Out of everything that could ever happen to him, he didn’t think this could be one of them.

    “Nezu,” he greets – and realizes how rude that probably sounds, but he can’t bring himself to say anything else, still reeling from the shock of Nezu not only seeing him but catching him stealing. He wants to die from mortification, melt into the floor in fear.

    “Would you like to explain why you’re out in the middle of the night and stealing cat food?”

    --
    in which izuku becomes a ghost-boy, acquires an army of cats, and aizawa and shinso try to steal his army with tuna.

    It was one little thing that pushed Izuku over the edge. One tiny change that brought his situation to Nezu's attention. One single visit from a hero to his middle school that changed everything.
