After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn't quite sure there's anything left for him to live for, but...he can't exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can't technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He'll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he's at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he'd be born with a quirk in the next life. NOT MY STORY!

Quirks aren't everything in this world, nor is your family status. Animals with quirks are pushed away, merely because they're animals. Nezu? Heck, he's so smart, everyone's scared of what would happen if they got on his bad side. Half the society, at the very least, still think that he's just an animal. Warning: This fic contains depression, suicide, self harm, etc. Also, SHINDEKU. Chapter Titles are Starset lyrics OWO

Izuku, a sweet little boy who wishes to be a hero and... Blah blah blah. You already know all of that, why should I repeat myself? Izuku's mom passed away due to his abusive dad, but Izu isn't a snitch, he is a hero. And as they say, snitches get stitches. Izu hated the environment he had to live in, so he had to end it all, but.. Nope, not spoiling anymore!
