im obsessed with the idea of izukus past-quirklessness staying with him mentally and giving him a major inferiority complex/imposter syndrome. since yk, it feels disingenuous for him to leave his past behind but also hes too afraid/ashamed to mention it to anyone he met after he got OFA.
the image of izuku painting his shoes black is HEAVILY inspired from a scene in Grant me now the dignity (I'll get when I die) by Illiteration on ao3, please give it a read! i love the red shoe theory sm

When people think/write about adult quirkless deku AU where he never got ofo and never became a hero, that he'd be all rage filled and hate bakugo still.
But I feel there's a lot of missed opportunities where he's not rage-filled and hateful but just awkward and weirded out by the whole situation.
Like imagine you're Izuku, you are now a grown ass man, you are completely over Middle School and all of the events that transpired there, you don't really care about Katsuki.
But the problem is you see his face everywhere. Taking the bus to work? Bam! Childhood bully on a billboard. Trying to watch a YouTube video? Bam! Unskippable ad of your childhood bully trying to sell you cookware.
You go on a hero forum to nerd out and you see a couple posts talking about how "Hot hero Dynamite is", and you just have to remember that this is the same guy who, when you were five, you were at a sleepover together and he peed the bed and you had to help him hide the evidence and agree to never speak of it again.
The whole situation is just so unbelievably awkward. And gods forbid you ever try to talk to anyone about heroes irl.
You start talking about heroes but then they bring up Dynamite and you have to try to change the conversation to a different hero without them getting suspicious. You're doomed if you get into a conversation with someone you find out to be a super fan of his. Or worse, you call him "Kacchan" out of habit and then they look at you weird.
And you're not just going to go around telling people that you grew up with him. Cuz either they don't believe you or they just think you're weird and still salty about your childhood.
You really don't care about him anymore! You just wish he would stop popping up in your life.

we don't want izuku to be quirkless in the end blah blah blah, yeah i know. same.... but also, it could be cool.
imagine he still becomes a great hero, but quirkless? he's the first quirkless hero? and maybe that message is not one for mha to tackle, but hear me out:
what if his arc is him wanting so badly to have a quirk, getting one, learning that being a hero is inherent to himself and not attached to his quirk/abilities, giving his quirk up, AND still being a great hero? wouldn't that be awesome?!
i think that type of character trajectory is unique and interesting in and of itself. but i also know my personal experiences in life contribute to why i think it's cool. i became sick and chronically ill in my late-teens/early-twenties. i lost my health. over the past 5 years, i've regained a lot of it, but i'm not 100% better (and most likely will never be). i've had to go through the arduous process of accepting my physical limits through many iterations of functionality yet learning when i was actually being held back by mental limits/fears and how to push past those.
i relate to izuku's character on many levels: wanting so badly to have something i don't, trying so hard despite not having that thing, and getting that thing you wished so badly for seemingly out of the blue (for me, it was a medication that drastically improved my health). i also relate to his self-destructiveness in name of a goal and sense of (sometimes unwanted) martyrdom.
but i was always a little disappointed throughout the series in the fact that izuku's big problem at the beginning was just seemingly resolved by him getting his quirk from all might. does he view his quirkless self as worthy as his OFA self? we don't know. (do i view my sick self as worthy as my "healthy" self? i don't know.)
so, i just think, if izuku loses his quirk, there is more room for growth for him. in other words, he becomes more interesting. and i get it, this is a shonen manga, it's ending soon, and it's supposed to have an inspiring message (i assume). so maybe it ending with him being quirkless is not something that belongs in this category of manga/anime. but if any series can break the mold, isn't it mha?

Another Fic-Dump from my ao3 history/bookmarks:
Ascendant by Gentrychild
-Abandoned, but man what's there is really good. Izuku has AFO and tries to be a hero anyway... without making it look like he has a bazillion quirks XD
Known Variables by pocketramblr
-In the world we know, OFA is a closely guarded secret. But in this one? Not so much. All Might and his quirk are very much public knowledge, and he's used to fending off people who want to inherit his quirk. So when Izuku comes along, and asks instead if he could be a hero without a quirk at all...? Things change.
In spite of a Nail by Hayato (TheLennyBunny)
-I'll be 100% honest, don't remember this one but I have the link saved in my bookmarks so I think I enjoyed it.
Go from Here by AdelimeCaffrey
-Bakugo and Izuku's parents see the bullying earlier on, and decide to intervene
Crimson Murders by Melancholic_lotus13
-Quirkless, the unwilling Champion of the Dead, and the main target for a Murderer? Great comb
Izuku is the Law By FallingBackwards
-Izuku is young, and he is small. But that hasn't stopped him from being the leader of a crime-infested city district. (This one is in multiple parts)
Unnamed by Emmy984
-Class 1-A? I think you mean the 1-A killers...
How to Murder you Father by Gentrychild
-Pretty self explanatory. Izuku wants to kill his dad.
Refraction by ekourege
-Izuku is strange. But he can see the future, so maybe give him some leeway?
Different Demons (But they're all from Hell) by GriffinRose
-Eri was saved by Izuku. She settles into her new life. Izuku understands her a little better than anyone is comfortable with. (This is a Sequel)
The Perfect Successor by Athenya
-Izuku finds a man dying in an alley, and chooses to help him - despite knowing this man is a villain. It makes his life better and worse.
Dear Santa, Please Make Stain Stop Sending Me Fanmail by Try_Two_Mothman
-Izuku recieve mail from Stain. Unexpected, unusual mail...
[Content] by Teobot
-Basically my favorite MHA fic ever, though I wish it had continued to update the later continuations. Very good, very violent, very sweet Eri.
A Hero with the Mask of a Villain by SomethingOrElse
-Izuku doesn't get OFA, and turns to the League instead.
You either die a Villain or see yourself become a Hero by Fantasy_Freak2
-Class 1-A is an infamous tradition at UA high, a villain reform program for children who are walking a dangerous path or have already crossed the line. What happens when they actually try to become heroes?
As always, I am also here to provide Bleach fics (mainly of the Grimmichi or Uraichi variety) by request in my DMs. Or if you'd prefer to raid my Google docs of unfinished / barely started MHA fic ideas for your own profit instead, yall can hit me up for that too.

We don’t talk enough about kirideku. But like, especially if they had met during middle school. kirideku meeting in middle school and being besties.
Izuku runs into kiri and Mina when he’s running away from katsuki and the other bullies, and kiri and Mina help him/stand up for him/whatever, and they start a little chaotic trio who won’t stand for bullies.
Izuku and Mina stand up for kiri when he’s being bullied
Kiri and izuku stand up for Mina when she’s being bullied
They’re just a wonderful little group.
And Mina watches the two dorks get crushes on each other and decides to play match maker, because she’s awesome and she will make sure that her dumbass friends get all the happiness
But just Mina and kiri telling izuku that he can be a hero without a quirk, and that he’s strong and smart and manly and so much more. And they run into katsuki and the kids that follow him around, and they’re all confused and yelling at izuku, and izuku stands up for himself!!! And kiri and Mina stand up for him too, and maybe izuku switches schools, I don’t know. I just have too many feelings about this 🥹
But yeah. Kirideku meeting in middle school with Mina being the perfect goddess that she is. Thank you.

Jailhouse Rock by RayShippouUchiha
bnha | general | 7k | aideku | complete | pre relationship 
“Wouldn’t mind seeing this Midoriya for myself,” Shōta presses on undeterred. “Yes,” Sansa hisses triumphantly. “You planned this, you traitor,” Tsukauchi rounds on Sansa for a split second before he turns back towards Shōta, face carved from resolute stone. “And as for you meeting Midoriya? Absolutely not. I forbid it. He’s a menace with a RAP sheet longer than you are tall and you’re also a menace who enjoys chaos more than you’ll ever admit outright. The two of you meeting has Bad Idea™ written all over it in lights. Mainly for me.” Shōta just stares at him, deeply unimpressed.
A fic where both characters are feral gremlins and absolutely perfect for each other. Izuku never went to UA, and as an adult he has been arrested many many times (for all the right reasons). And one of these times, Shouta is at the precinct talking to Tsukauchi and he gets *curious*, to Tsukauchi's horror.
Super funny story. Izuku is a Menace and feral and confident and amazing. And Shouta is loving everything about him.

Costume design for quirkless, underground Izuku!
Did you know that dark colors actually work better for nighttime stealth than black? An all black outfit is so dark it looks like a moving shadow, where dark colors blend into the environment better~

“Izuku couldn’t be a quirkless hero, he’s no Batman he doesnt have--“
Y’all are aware that there’s superheroes who don’t have powers who also aren’t billionaires right? Superheroes who don’t have powers and aren’t billionaires and also aren’t genius gadget builders either.
There’s a dude in the Justice League who’s just really fucking good at boxing and knocking people the fuck out with his hands. There’s a dude in the Avengers who’s just good with a bow and arrow. There’s just a guy who’s a very good investigative journalist who knows martial arts. A chick who’s really good at shooting people, martial arts, and spying. Folks who use tech that they found or was given to them with no idea how to make the shit but use the shit to the best they can.
Yer not limited to just two fucking options for a person without powers being a superhero.

Quirkless Paramedic Izuku
Okay. Idea. You know how I’m some cities Paramedics are stationed in firehouses? What if in MHA there are paramedics stationed in Hero Agencies?
So like, Izuku doesn’t get OFA. He still applied to Hero Schools, but only UA even lets him try. He still saves Uraraka, bc he’s Izuku, but it’s much less flashy and dramatic so he only get like 25 Rescue Points. He gets put in Gen Ed. He fights his ass off at the Sports Festival, but is beaten by Todoroki. 2nd year, again makes it to the final round of the Sports Festival and puts up a good fight, but is beaten by a Hero Course student bc no matter how hard he trains, it’s not the same as being trained by Pro-Heroes for the job.
It’s around that time the Teachers realize that Izuku isn’t going to have his dreams crushed and settle into a mediocre desk job like most. And Izuku is angry, especially at Shinso, bc Shinso failed just like Izuku did but he still gets a chance.
It’s Aizawa who eventually points out that there are no Quirk requirements to be a Paramedic like there are for Fire Fighters, Police, Doctors, etc. and that Izuku doesn’t have to be a Pro Hero to save people with a smile (WHICH WAS HIS TRUE DREAM).
He graduates. Goes to the Paramedic academy. Deals with discrimination from his mentors and peers. Is assigned the worst areas. Is pushed into failing. But rises above every time. Eventually working his way to the coveted position of Hero Agency Paramedic just as Class 1-A is finishing their sidekick years.
When Izuku is assigned to a new Agency as one of their paramedics, he expects it to be another attempt to break him and force him out. Of course, that was their intention, but the new agency is one all of 1-A started. They expected Izuku to crack under the pressure of being the medic for 20 new heroes and any civilian casualties they cause (typically higher with new heroes). Instead they put him in the perfect environment to thrive bc some of 1-A remember him and are PUMPED to have him working with them.
