Absolute Deku

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.
