Gearshift Stories

Rejecting his classmates, Izuku continues his fight against All for One alone. Using everything he had and sacrificing everything, he triumphs, but his victory is hollow. As he lays dying, something he couldn't perceive happens, and he finds himself back in time around his Quirkless diagnosis with a chance to make up for what he failed to do properly.

"We'd never get caught. We're too good for that." Gearshift thought she could outsmart them all-Autobots, Decepticons, and even the war itself. After years of working for the Decepticons then walking the line between both sides of the conflict, she did the unthinkable: she vanished. Leaving behind her friends, her life, and everything she once knew, Gearshift disappeared into the wilderness, carving out a hidden sanctuary far from the battlefield. Deep in the forests of Northern Canada, she built a new life where the war couldn't reach her. But as old allies resurface and new threats emerge, she'll soon learn the harsh truth: some bonds are hard to break-and even harder to keep. Gearshift thought she could leave the past behind, but as secrets unravel and enemies close in, she'll discover that running from the war was easy-outrunning it will be the real challenge. ~~~ ||DISCLAIMER: This story is a fanfiction building upon the ending of the Transformers Prime series.

Absolute Deku is a My Hero Academia AU where the Symbol of Peace didn't retire-he fell, suddenly and publicly, and the world never recovered. With All Might broken and his legacy turned into a debate, hero society rots from the inside: villains rise bolder, vigilantes fill the gaps, and "hero" becomes a title people argue over instead of a promise they trust. In the middle of that wreckage is Izuku Midoriya, not quirkless this time, but born with Kindlepull-a volatile blend of telekinetic attraction and flame that grows stronger with heat, powerful enough to turn debris into shields and rescue lines... dangerous enough to become disaster if fear takes the wheel. Raised in an orphanage after being abandoned by his father, Izuku becomes a small lighthouse for kids who were never supposed to shine. But the world doesn't stay small. Katsuki Bakugo is chosen as the successor to One For All and chases strength like a religion, keeping his quirkless twin sister Katsumi at arm's length to "protect" her-until that love becomes a cage. And Izumi Yagi, All Might's daughter, burns with jealousy and resolve, wielding a shard of Gear Shift and refusing to let her father's symbol die, even if she has to break herself to resurrect it. In a society starving for meaning, three forces collide-hope, strength, and unbreakable spirit-while one quirkless girl stands at the center as the heart that refuses to be forgotten. This is the story of a world without a Symbol of Peace... and the boy who becomes a symbol anyway.

In a world where quirks define heroes and villains alike, young Izuku Midoriya discovers he possesses a rare and powerful ability at the age of four. Unlike other children, his quirk doesn't manifest gently-it erupts with unstoppable force, nearly costing him his life. After a harrowing accident on the playground, Izuku learns the truth: his body isn't yet adapted to handle his own power, a quirk that allows him to manipulate the velocity of objects-and potentially the very laws of motion itself. With the guidance of a specialist, Izuku begins his careful training, learning the limits of his ability, understanding its unique mechanics, and giving it a name that captures its essence: Gearshift. As he grows, his body adapts, his control improves, and he discovers the thrill of experimentation and mastery. Alongside him is Katsuki Bakugo, a fiery rival whose competitive spirit challenges Izuku at every step. Their friendship grows from cautious concern to a dynamic partnership-the beginnings of a "wonder duo" that tests each other's limits, pushes each other to be stronger, and faces the mysteries of their powers together. As Izuku trains, he uncovers the true potential of Gearshift: the ability to manipulate inertia, acceleration, and even gravity itself. But with great power comes great responsibility, and the young hero must learn patience, control, and strategy-or risk the consequences of a quirk still learning to grow with him. Gearshift: The Rise of Izuku Midoriya is a story of discovery, determination, and the delicate balance between raw power and self-mastery-a tale of a young boy learning to control the impossible and a rivalry that will shape the hero he is destined to become.

In this story, Izuku has an older sister, Moe, aka Burnin, the pro hero, and Tatsumaki from OPM later on He might have more relatives that I will not tell you :) Izuku gets one of all, but immediately, he gets Fa Jin, and the previous users of One For All will help him by communicating how to use their quirks to allow Izuku to Archives to be the symbol of peace for the whole world I'm adding a ship for the story so I have something new to write. Young Kaina Tsutsumi x Izuku midoriya

In this story izuku will have gear shift but the OFA enhanced version dont ask how. I don't understand how gear shift works fully so if anyone knows the exact ins and outs it would be appreciated if they can leave a comment. I'm working on my writing skills so there maybe punctuation mistakes and some annoying writing tropes. Hope you enjoy and of course SPOILERS TO PEOPLE WHO ONLY WATCH THE ANIME
