(desc:) Izuku Midoriya, commonly known as Mido, Izu, Zuzu, or Egao (loosely translating to Smile).
He was diagnosed a late bloomer at the age of four and bullied for his quirk when it did arrive. He doesn't like All Might (Ass Might/Bitch Might, any other insulting nicknames) in this story.
Instead he's a fan of Eraserhead, Stain (who he sees as a "non-legal hero"), Present Mic, Midnight, Hawks, Nezu, and that was mostly it as others were fake in his eyes.
But... Zuzu didn't know what he was going through was considered abuse, bullying, or neglect. He thought that this was normal. He didn't know he was touchstarved or traumatized.
What he did know however.., was that be had a quirk, a powerful one at that, and that he would become the best person he could be.
oh yeah- did i mention that in middle school he got a part time job as a barista in a coffee shop and as a vigilante named Egao.
bc when he isn't at school, training with his "mom" (*cough* getting beat/abused by Inko *cough*)-
Izu: do you have a cold Author-San?
Me: 🤧 moving on-
Mido's ship pending, i will take requests but here are the ships i refuse to write (bc ofc):
Tododeku (i see it too often... sry, i do ship them tho-), Bakudeku (they'd be like siblings...), Izuocha (I just don't really like it- it's cute but i don't ship), Satodeku, Dekuneta (for obvious reasons), Dabideku, Aideku, Nedeku, Shiggadeku, Togadeku, Micdeku, if you don't get the point any common ship, canon ship, illegal ship (any pro hero x a minor) (an adult villain x a minor) (a minor x a younger minor ex: Deku x Eri) pls don't ask for any gross ships. ill give options on ships im willing to write and you can choose from that
What if when Izuku was a kid something huge happened. Something that seemed to pass by quickly to others but to him it stretched out for years and years?
What if Izuku had a chance, one chance to be free? What if he wanted to be a hero? And he became a vigilante? What if he's able to trick Aizawa and Nezu (and the rest of the heroes?) What if he hid everything he knew and who he was?
The LOV, AFO, UA, All Might, everyone is looking over one of his shoulders.
How long can he shake them off for?
What was he doing these days just for fun?
There are no ships in this story. Updates may be scattered and I'll try to update as often as I can.
I'll write everything and then come back and edit (maybe.)
NONE OF THESE CHARACATERS BELONG TO ME.
I own the plot for this plot specifically. This is my first fanfic that I've written.
THE ART DOESN'T BELONG TO ME EITHER.
Used to be called "WHAT YOU SEE... IT ISN'T ME"
also on ao3 - same title, probably same username <3
