The cat is in the closed box, with a 50% chance of being alive and a 50% chance of being dead. According to the principle of uncertainty in quantum physics, he is alive and dead until someone opens the box. Izuku doesn't want to open the box. OR Izuku didn't return home after school. Two months later he was found roaming a deserted road with white hair, psychogenic amnesia and a quirk out of control. Nothing is the same after that. [This is a translation of my own fanfic, O Gato de Schrödinger.]

{Part 1 of the It's Okay As Long As I Have You Series} What if Izuku was kidnapped by villains the day he found out he was quirkless? What if, years later, he gets rescued by none other than Pro Hero Eraserhead, also known as Shota Aizawa? Would Izuku be able to recover from the years of torture and abuse he went through, or will what he experienced always haunt him? Will update a few times a week! Will put warnings whenever something triggering is mentioned (a great portion of the fic will have mentions so read with caution!!). Aizawa's age will be changed for the purpose of the fic! Manga Spoilers!

Deku is quirkless but also kind of really not. His quirk has death activation, and when re wakes up after dying, his quirk remolds itself to relate to how he died. He keeps each quirk as he dies. The more he dies, the more powerful he is. The more painful the death, the more emotionless he becomes. Quirk exhaustion comes in the form of emotional loss. Only natural reactions and natural responses will remain after 300 deaths. That number came a lot sooner than it should have. Or alternatively: Izu loves his dad, his dad would burn the world for him, All Might is absolutely screwed, karma's a bitch and Izuku's quirk might actually take over the world unintentionally. Note: Image art is not mine, I just snatched it until I can create my own.

This is not my story in any way. This was created for offline reading purposes only. I claim no credit. This story is created by Hawkeye221b on archive of our own ao3. Izuku Midoryia has always wanted to be a Hero, even before the villain attack that took his eyesight. After that attack, he has to cope with a quirk that not only holds the key to his future success, but also his new form of "sight". (basically a fic where I thought "hey, what if Izuku had a quirk that controlled all 4 elements like in Avatar, but was blind and used his earth bending quirk to "see" like Toph did? Dadzawa and Dad might will come later, I promise) #1 in dekuhasaquirk #1 in blinddeku #1 in offlinereading #4 in bakunoheroacademia

Masks. They symbolize humanity, no one is seen without one and no one goes out barefaced. In fact, its illegal to do so. Your mask shows your rank in society. Of course, with this rule, you wouldn't recognize someone without their mask on because you have never seen their face. Levi Ackerman, he is an official for a high ranking office. His duty is to punish those with no masks, the rebels, those who have broken their masks for another. Eren Jeager - Rebel #673 #34 in fanfiction, Thurs, June 22, 2017 --Holy macaroni!

It should be raining. It should rain every day. But today the sun shone brightly down upon the cold grey stone. The black-clad man rested a calloused hand on the grave as tears fell from his cheeks. Bloodshot black eyes gazed upon the name with a heavy sorrow, his right eye framed by a scar he'd received months ago. Yes, Aizawa Shouta thought that it should rain every day. Because his sun was forever gone. He bit back a chocked sob. "Till tomorrow... Hizashi"

Found on ao3 by Lomonaaeren , I'm just sharing it with you lovely people!!
