Blood and Belonging

From age four, quirkless Izuku Midoriya knew only rejection. A decade of Bakugo's explosive beatings, his mother's cold neglect, and classmates leaving spider lilies as suicide suggestions crushed his spirit.

At fourteen, after All Might destroys his hero dreams, Izuku nearly dies in an alley attack. Tomura Shigaraki saves him, spilling blood to protect someone society deemed worthless. In the League's hideout, Izuku experiences true acceptance for the first time.

When Shigaraki sees his analysis notebooks and learns he's quirkless, there's no mockery-just an offer to belong.

The boy who bled for others' cruelty will find his place among villains who value him. Sometimes belonging comes at the cost of blood, and Izuku is willing to pay that price.
