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

As a child, Izuku Midoriya decided it would be better if he were Quirkless than to have a power that scared everyone. Now a teenager and looking to enter U.A, he finds himself as the protege of All Might and a student of the best heroes in the nation- but there's no running from a part of you, and he's learning the hard way that you have to accept all of yourself to be a real hero. Having been partners in crime with Izuku ever since they were children, Katsuki Bakugo is more than a little surprised when his timid friend makes it into U.A with him. He's knows they're going places with the best heroes in the world to guide them, but Katsuki also knows that his best friend is heading into a world prepared to reject his very being- and he's more than willing to pulverize it. However, Katsuki is coming to realize he can't blast his way through all of their problems, some of which are deadly. As they both struggle to overcome their problems and support their surrogate brothers, Izuku and Katsuki somehow find themselves leading their class into the world of heroes- and desperately trying to protect a little girl called Eri, the first person they saved as a team.

• ON HIATUS/OCCASIONAL UPDATES • Midoriya Izuku attracted trouble. It was just a fact of life - the sky was blue, the grass was green, and Izuku constantly found himself in an absurd number of deadly situations. He was okay with that. Mortal peril was an average Tuesday afternoon for a Pro Hero like him. Being kidnapped was practically a holiday. Saving civilians as a building collapsed around him was easier than facing his worried mum afterwards. He had dealt with All Might's disappointed dad stare and only cried for two hours afterwards. A serial killing villain with an unknown Quirk would be no problem! ...but even Izuku had to admit that being sent back in time to his first day at UA wasn't on the agenda. Still, there was no-one more spitefully determined than him - he was going to make the most of it. Yeah, good luck, heroes and villains alike! Deku was here to cause mischief and love his friends! ~ [Includes a couple of other Ticked Off mini-fics ("Clockwise" and "Summoners") because I don't wanna clutter up my profile by making new books] [Also posted on Ao3 under the same title and username!]
