"What happens on Earth, stays on Earth and you cannot take those feelings with you so hope that they all disperse."
Ezra Thomas, a quiet yet compelling African-American teen, has always carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. Raised by a strong, single mother after his father walked out on them when Ezra was just a baby, he learned early on that life wasn't easy. His introverted, enigmatic nature made him a target for bullying, but deep down, Ezra possessed something no one else could see - an untapped quirk with unimaginable potential.
"Under Pressure" is a tale of self-discovery, perseverance, and the strength to rise above one's circumstances. Ezra's journey to become a hero is just beginning, and the challenges ahead will push him to his limits. But with each surge of power and every hard-earned victory, Ezra inches closer to finding out just how strong he is.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. (OC/Reader x Aizawa)
Y/N L/N is a 23 year old semi-retired pro-hero, after waking up after a fight and having her quirk mysteriously disappear. She finds a job listing for a teacher at U.A., and decides to apply, not predicting the level of assholery one of her co-workers, Eraserhead, would have. She has to try and figure out how to keep on doing what she loves without her quirk, whilst also juggling a bunch of crazy damn kids. This is a story about love, our tragedies and traumas, and how our experiences shape us as people. How we get past our experiences, and what we learn from them. And how those experiences never define us as people.

Redline (My Hero Academia OC Story)
"The people who put a perfect victory over consequences are the coolest Heroes!" In a society both blessed and cursed with the phenomenon known as Quirk's, the world everyone knew would be shaped into lifting Hero culture above all, and igniting the comic book dreams everyone had as children. Becoming a Hero. Kaiseki Shindou is one of these blessed, possessing a Quirk many would dream to have. And one he intends to use to become the coolest Hero... in spite of his moral and personal shortcomings. But the path he dreams to follow isn't as blessed as he hopes. After all, Quirk's do not choose who to bless. Their only fairness is in it's randomness of who gets what power, and they do not care of morals and circumstances. This paves the journey for the Kinetic Hero with Villains... and Monsters... -------------------- This book is a rewrite of a previous Male Reader Insert I once did. But although it will tell a similar story, I hope to write a far more improved narrative based on what I've learned, with a more in depth main character. If you're coming from that old book, welcome back, and sorry for the wait. Do let me know your thoughts if you have any, and I hope you enjoy!
