All Might tell Midoriya he can't be a hero when he's quirkless. Does that stop the green bean? Nope. Finding an abandoned toddler in an alleyway wasn't on his to do list though. But no one cared enough to care if he adopted the kid or not. And if anyone thought something small like a villainous quirk was enough to put Midoriya off, then they were very, very wrong. He knew what it was like, after all.

Midoriya's quirkless. Shinsou has a "villainous" quirk. Their parents are villains, or don't really care about them. They had no friends, until they met each other by accident at preschool. They finally thought things were going to get better. Thing's just tumbled down one after another.

Owning a cafe that is frequented by many, heroes and civilians alike, isn't easy, but Midoriya didn't really mind. He had two kids to take care of, found many friends in the resident teachers and the resident explosive pomeranian. But the boy is tangled up in things that most heroes wouldn't even want to go near.

Quirks aren't everything in this world, nor is your family status. Animals with quirks are pushed away, merely because they're animals. Nezu? Heck, he's so smart, everyone's scared of what would happen if they got on his bad side. Half the society, at the very least, still think that he's just an animal. Warning: This fic contains depression, suicide, self harm, etc. Also, SHINDEKU. Chapter Titles are Starset lyrics OWO

Swan Dive Summary The Slime Villain Incident, and the events leading up to it happen one year earlier. Izuku, broken and lost in the face of All Might's words, decides to take Kacchan's advice. But a familiar Underground Hero won't let a young life end so quickly. How will a simple right-place-right time scenario change things? OR: Aizawa Shouta saves the life of Midoriya Izuku and finds himself with a new apprentice and surrounded by a quickly growing family circle. What has he gotten himself into? Heavy Dadzawa and Dadmic. Auntie Nemuri and eventual redeemed Bakugo.

What if Izuku told All might no? What if instead he went off to take lots of martial arts classes and trained himself to get into UA without a quirk? What if while all of this he also becomes a part-time vigilante just to get in some practice? Join Izuku as he tries to prove he can be a hero too, while he avoids getting caught being Verde seeing the heroes who want to arrest him are his teachers. Although, technically, he isn't breaking the law seeing he is quirkless so, yeah. I will make Eraserhead and PresentMic suffer in this because I find it funny that a vigilante they are after is RIGHT under their noses. Mature due to Bakugou's non-stop cursing. aaannnnd, because there may be violence (fighting) in this story.... it's a hero story, there is bound to be some fighting in it.
