What if Izuku's life had always been hard?
He wasn't quirkless, no this isn't some slightly diffrent cannon type of story. Instead this is a world with no quirks (which to be fair is slightly diffrent than canon, but still!) and Izuku had a decent childhood, once you ignore the bullying and Inko.
Inko was an amazing mother, the few times Izuku had actually seen her thoughout his life. The woman was knocked up at fourteen and soon kicked out by her parents which meant she had to get a job if she was going to raise her child, with little time for much else but to rest Inko worked tirelessly and never found a way to continue her education, she dropped out of school early into her pregnancy and worked.
So with little qualifications, there was little she could do, so Izuku had to raise himself with some guidance of his mother through notes, luckily he knew how to read, Inko had been there somewhat throughout his early years, as for his father? There was no sign nor mention of him, and until he was old enough for Inko to comfortably let him leave the house alone, at the age of six, he didn't even really know what a father was.
So this is Izuku's story, before meeting Aizawa, and after.
