Izuku's quirk is Decay. A quirk fit for a villain. Yet his eyes are on UA. Izuku is an orphan, one of the lowest members of Japanese Society. A throw-away child no one wants or pretends to care for. Yet he aims high. He will show everyone what a real hero is, even if he is seen as something for something he didn't choose. We are dust and shadows. Word Count: 35K

• ON HIATUS • Midoriya Izuku attracted trouble. It was just a fact of life - the sky was blue, the grass was green, and Izuku constantly found himself in an absurd number of deadly situations. He was okay with that. Mortal peril was an average Tuesday afternoon for a Pro Hero like him. Being kidnapped was practically a holiday. Saving civilians as a building collapsed around him was easier than facing his worried mum afterwards. He had dealt with All Might's disappointed dad stare and only cried for two hours afterwards. A serial killing villain with an unknown Quirk would be no problem! ...but even Izuku had to admit that being sent back in time to his first day at UA wasn't on the agenda. Still, there was no-one more spitefully determined than him - he was going to make the most of it. Yeah, good luck, heroes and villains alike! Deku was here to cause mischief and love his friends! ~ [Includes a couple of other Ticked Off mini-fics ("Clockwise" and "Summoners") because I don't wanna clutter up my profile by making new books] [Also posted on Ao3 under the same title and username!]
