Swan Dive Summary The Slime Villain Incident, and the events leading up to it happen one year earlier. Izuku, broken and lost in the face of All Might's words, decides to take Kacchan's advice. But a familiar Underground Hero won't let a young life end so quickly. How will a simple right-place-right time scenario change things? OR: Aizawa Shouta saves the life of Midoriya Izuku and finds himself with a new apprentice and surrounded by a quickly growing family circle. What has he gotten himself into? Heavy Dadzawa and Dadmic. Auntie Nemuri and eventual redeemed Bakugo.

Izuku doesn't cry. He is a weapon, and weapons don't weep. He won't cry until the battle, when he's falling through the air, when it settles in just how real it is that he's going to die, because yeah, the doctor warned him this would happen, but there's always been a part of Izuku that thought he'd live forever. Just like his father told him. Or, how a few heroes help Midoriya Izuku become something more than a lost vigilante. 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙮 𝙟𝙤𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙜𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙧

The beauty of the era of quirks wasn't the amazing abilities; it was that nobody sane would even entertain the thought that Kuroko, the most wanted vigilante in all of Japan, was Quirkless.

Warning- i will likely never update this again, feel free to adopt it. the only reason i'm not deleting this shit is because some people actually enjoyed it. Abandoned by his parents, Izuku Midoriya makes his own way in life alone, constantly being told he could never be a hero. And for what reason? Because he's quirkless. Something he could never hope to control. So he was an outcast. He was useless, a waste, a burden. And he was also a Vigilante. If he couldn't be a hero, he'd walk the line between good and evil. He would help others, but at what cost to himself? My Hero Academia does not belong to me, it belongs to Horikoshi. Not sure if I spelled that right, but its whatever I have no Deku ships planned, but I might post an update where you can vote on it. This is a Dadzawa, and EraserMic WILL be part of this, because I refuse to think of them with anyone else. Deku is sarcastic and we all love a sarcastic bean so, yes. I DO NOT OWN THE COVER ART. Read if you want but I don't really care.
