After an event in her early adolescence that changed the entire trajectory of her life, and in how she viewed her quirk, Hitomi Kanetsukabe was ecstatic to find she'd been admitted to UA's hero course. Her high school life was just beginning, and she'd soon discover she'd be getting more than she bargained for. New friendships, villain encounters, and much, much more. This is an OC story, where she is a part of Class 1-A as one additional student! ~ Covers events of Season 1-4 ~ This is my first work, and is cross-posted to FanFiction.net and AO3 under the same name. This fanfiction features original art! OC x Canon :) (Updates Fri. 8PM UTC)

Utsuro Kurose believes pain is something meant to be shared. Why wouldn't he? Raised as a tool in a cult based on false salvation, Utsuro learned early that other people's misery could be swallowed down, shaped into power, and used again and again, no matter how it hollowed him out. Then he escaped. And for the first time, someone offered him warmth without asking him to consume anything in return. Now at U.A. High, Utsuro trains to become a hero. Not to take pain from others, but to create a world where no one ever needs to give it to him again. ~~~ [Based upon Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia; Partially inspired by Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen]
