The look on Yaoyorozu's face after she lost to Tokoyami was all too familiar to Midoriya. (Also on AO3 and Fanfiction.net)

To smile, bring hope to the world. To bring hope to the world, make them smile. Their dreams. Different, yet so very much the same. No one was born equal into this world. Izuku was always reminded of that. Kyouka always reminded herself, whether she wanted to or not. But, differences weren't what mattered; that's what they learned from one another. It wasn't who they were equal to. It was what they equaled to together. (Formerly Titled An Insecure Violet) (No, you're not allowed to post my stories to crappy text-to-speech fanfic YouTube channels)

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!

"I will give all of you a topic about a form of discrimination. You'll do your research and pick whatever aspect of the problem that speaks to you and make some sort of artwork about it. Painting, drawings, a photo, a collage, it doesn't matter! Be creative! As long as the piece represents what that problem means to you!" Or things hit the fan when both Midoriya and Bakugou are assigned to make an art piece about quirkless dicrimination... (This is the first time I actually drew the cover of one of my stories myself but it's mostly based off of a manga panel so small steps haha)

Namura Yuji was a normal 15 year old with a pretty crappy quirk. He's quite the trouble maker; a delinquent at school with questionable marks and friends. He starts running drugs for extra cash and runs into trouble when a group of scientists try to steal his delivery of Trigger (a drug that enhances the users quirk temporarily) off him. They release some sort of monster on him and to get away he injects himself with the drug, enhancing his own quirk. Except it isn't temporary, it sticks around. So now he's got a way better, not crappy quirk. Becoming a teenage vigilante is the logical next step, of course. Meeting Eraserhead was purely an accident and anything past that was just bad luck. (obviously I don't own bnha. I feel like all my stories center around U.A and school life so I wanted to shake things up with a character that doesn't enter U.A at all. I also wanted to work with a quirk that looks pretty unassuming at first.)

Birds are free. They fly, they build their nests where they want, nothing to tie them down like school or heroes. Except this bird, who isn't exactly a bird. Shiori's quirk caused him a lot of trouble and even got him kicked out of his last home but at U.A it seems the fact he can turn into a human is more problematic. (I do not own BNHA or any of its character, the art is mine though (you can probably tell from the terrible quality). Have fun with the story!)

Yep. We're giving this a shot. May 12, 2021-#1 in Ryuko

First time I'm actually going to try and write a real story. Even if it is a FanFic. ----- I see Kacchan's palm rush towards me, I close my eyes awaiting the inevitable explosion.

Oliver Storm is just your average American teenager. Well, unless you count the fact that he's actually White Lightning, sidekick to the notorious superhero Captain Impossible. But after a faulty save that leaves Captain Impossible dead, Oliver is left to be his city's savior in spandex. And following in the footsteps of Washington DC's favorite super isn't as easy as you'd think, especially when the culprit behind his death is closer than he thought. With Oliver starting his junior year in high school, things become more complicated. Trying to balance saving the world and school can be hard enough, but throw in his overprotective mother and a villain by the name of Delinquent who Oliver can't shake, being a hero by day is going to be impossible. As Oliver starts to unravel the truth behind Captain Impossible's death, he finds that maybe not all villains are bad. And maybe Delinquent and Oliver have more in common than they thought. *companion novel to Damsel in Distress series*
