In a world where Quirks appear by age four, manifesting mine at twenty-four felt like a dangerous glitch in the system. Unable to control this sudden power, I was a walking liability. Luckily, Tsukauchi called in a massive favor with Principal Nezu to get me the protection and training I desperately needed. The catch? I'm way too old to enroll as a student at U.A. High. So, on paper, I'm the brand-new teaching assistant to the strict, chronically sleep-deprived underground hero, Shota Aizawa. Working under him was supposed to be purely professional-a temporary fix to get my abilities under control. But between the grueling late-night training sessions and his intense, watchful eyes, the lines are rapidly blurring. There is a heavy, undeniable tension building between us that neither of us wants to address, yet neither can ignore. But Aizawa isn't the only one watching me. There's someone else lingering in the shadows. A dangerous, intoxicating presence who knows exactly how to get under my skin and into my head. Caught between the hero trying to keep me safe and a darkness trying to pull me in, learning to control my Quirk is suddenly the least of my problems.

Ishida Star is 16, in her second year at UA, trying to juggle her many secrets with becoming a hero. Her new homeroom teacher helps her unlock the potential of her "villainous" quirk, which allows her to transfer her pain to others; but how far is too far? Is it really self-destructive if she's helping people? A fic about found family, learning to value yourself, and what happens when you get pushed too far. Pressure doesn't always make diamonds. TW: SELF-HARM, SELF-DESTRUCTIVE ACTS THIS IS *NOT* AN X READER! This is very different to my other works in that this is *NOT* an x Aizawa fic. He is a main character however.

You were just another student at U.A.-until he looked at you differently. Eraserhead was supposed to be off-limits, but late nights, stolen glances, and shared secrets made that impossible. The tension is electric, the rules are strict, and the desire? Completely forbidden. What happens when a quiet obsession turns into something much deeper... and far more dangerous? A slow-burn, strangers-to-lovers arc • Intense emotional development • Steamy, highly detailed smut • Suspenseful missions and real hero drama • A version where Aizawa doesn't face charges, only consequences of the heart 18+ | MATURE THEMES | READ AT YOUR OWN RISK Finished 7/1/25

Y/N is a Quirkless delinquent hell-bent on becoming a hero, and changing the way society sees Quirkless people; re-writing the very rules and imagery that a "hero" is meant to have, and proving those assholes wrong. Moving to Japan from England was enough of a setback; forcing her to begin Japanese Highschool at 19, after spending three years repeating her middle school to learn Japanese. Now, she's finally at U.A., and her journey has just begun. What she didn't have in mind, was her homeless-looking, strangely hot homeroom teacher deciding to make her his personal project to train up. DISCLAIMER: I was 18 when I started writing this. Looking back at this at 24, an age gap of 19/20 and 31 is BAAAAD. Very bad. I thought at that age I knew everything and was oh so very mature. I was not. I don't want to glorify age-gap relationships, however this book means so much to me in terms of the themes I wrote about so I don't want to delete it. Just please understand going into this that age gap relationships in REAL LIFE are not usually good. This is fiction :) TW: THEMES OF- Self Harm Suicide Depression If you do not feel comfortable reading about these themes, please do not read this. COMPLETE.
