    Naoto Shirogane grew up under pressure. His father, Retsu, was a low-class Pro Hero who thought he deserved more. More fame, more recognition, a legacy worth broadcasting. When Naoto showed no sign of a Quirk, Retsu snapped. He called it training. Discipline. Tough love. But it was manipulation. Obsession. Abuse, dressed up as preparation for a future that never felt like his. Then, at thirteen, Naoto's Quirk awakened. Quickslot, unstable, overwhelming. One surge of power, and his mother was left injured in the fallout. Retsu didn't hesitate. He saw no frightened child. He saw a monster. That same night, Naoto was thrown out. Declared dead. Blacklisted. Erased like a glitch in his father's perfect narrative. He disappeared into Naruhata, and part of his hair whitened. But he got back up - with help from Koichi Haimawari, Kazuho Haneyama and the others He rebuilt himself through silence and discipline. Quickslot lets him summon objects from video game inventories, powerful, versatile, dangerous if left unchecked. Eraser Head had recommended him to U.A Witness to his actions and rebuilt mindset. He saw the boy, and a brilliant tactician who knew how to optimize Quirks in the blink of an eye. And years later, he finally accepted. Now he belongs to the halls of the hero academy, silently. He doesn't talk much. He doesn't aim for attention. But his white-streaked hair, his whole "edgy ghost-boy vibe", and his odd way of being sweet and caring, speak louder than he ever could. Somehow, he made friends. Not by trying. Just by being there. He's not trying to be a hero. He's trying to make sure he never becomes the villain his father made everyone, Naoto included, believe he was. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ The following is a non-profit fan-based story.

He lost his arm to Reiji Kirisaki, but later woke to find it replaced: a mysterious figure had given him a Zonai arm, a strange gift that raises more questions than answers. At the same time, buried truths about his family come to light. The Shirogane bloodline, supposetively noble was in fact rotted to the core, secretly closely tied to All For One, serving him in the shadows. After All Might's victory, Naoto's father, Retsu, abusive, violent, rotted to the core, was exposed and forced into hiding. Once Naoto was thought dead, but Retsu's downfall revealed the truth, he is alive, and now marked. At the hospital, two revelations change everything: his mother, Aashiko, returns after years away, and with her, a sister he never knew, Tsukiko, 3 years old. Innocent, untouched by Retsu's violence, she still believes her father was good. To her, Naoto is just the brother who broke her family apart. Living with them briefly, Naoto finds a fragile home. Aashiko accepts him; Tsukiko only tolerates him. But as Aizawa said, with villains aware of who he is, he has to leave, for their safety, heading to Heights Alliance, U.A.'s new dormitory system, where a new chapter begins. Before he even arrives, something unexpected happens: reaching out to stop an accident, his left hand opens a portal. A new ability, separate from Quickslot, has awakened. Where did this power come from? Why now? And what other trials wait ahead, as Naoto struggles with the dark legacy of his bloodline and the uncertain future of his own strength? ✧ Cover by me

    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.

    "Never trust a survivor until you learn what they did to survive." Thinking about trying to describe the whole story in just one sentence gives me an aneurysm, but here's what you can expect: psychological tests, found family, feminine rage, accurate mental health depiction, alternate realities, confusing twists and turns, odd goings-on, diverse characters, mystery, survival instinct, etc. All my writing is completely clean while still being intense, heavy, and plot- and character-focused. This story is my 5-year-long, work-in-progress, pride and joy. So, while I am here seeking as much constructive criticism as I can get, please handle with tact :)

    In the realm of Aegia, everyone has one chance to rise. With it comes the risk of being bound forever. Upon nearing adulthood, citizens of Aegia can choose to enroll in one of the Academies, where they are taught the ancient texts, the history of the realm, and the sacred runes handed down by the gods themselves. At the end of their time at the Academy, they face a series of tests to be sorted into two castes: 𝗔𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀, the elite rulers, advance to the top positions in their field, deciding what is built, what is destroyed, where taxes go...and who lives and dies. And 𝘀𝘆𝗹𝗿𝗮, the servants bound by magic to their Aelaris. Seen as little more than an appendage and status symbol, they spend their days following their Aelaris and living for their demands, completely devoted and content in their role. The bond is considered sacred. It prevents the Aelaris from ever harming their sylra while ensuring the sylra is happy to serve. The Rite of Ascension determines who belongs where, a process that measures worth and potential, through the power of the gods. Rian Argon-son has always believed he was destined to join the ranks of the Aelaris, working tirelessly to prove himself worthy. Meanwhile his nemesis Ileana, born into wealth and privilege, has always seen herself as a true heir to power. Their rivalry has simmered in all their time at the Academy, and now the final testing is upon them. They may be both top of their class, but ultimately the Rite of Ascension will decide everything. Both have prepared. Neither are ready. Cover by @Merlyn_Fereira

    Some roads stretch farther than the eyes can follow, and some silences speak louder than voices ever could. Arin Drosvel has always moved faster than everyone else-across tracks, through crowded hallways, past expectations. He learned early that speed could carry you forward, but not necessarily away from the shadows you hide from. In a city that hums with restless energy and muted secrets, he finds himself chasing something he doesn't fully understand: not victory, not love, not even escape-but the faint possibility of being whole. People come and go, some leaving echoes that linger, others leaving holes that nothing can fill. And sometimes, even the simplest connections can change everything-an unexpected smile, a quiet word, a glance that knows more than it should. Through these moments, through small victories and silent defeats, Arin discovers that running isn't just about how fast your legs can move, but how far your heart is willing to carry you. This is a story of motion and stillness, of art and ambition, of heartbreak that breaks open the soul and love that teaches how to survive it. It is about the weight of what we lose, the courage to let go, and the quiet hope that sometimes, the finish line is only where the next journey begins. Some losses cannot be outrun. Some dreams must be pursued at your own pace. And some people, though fleeting, leave a mark that will never fade.

    At twenty-six, Net believes he has finally built a life of his own-quiet, distant, and far away from everything that once broke him. But the shadows of his past still cling to him. When Net was nineteen, he loved a man with a devotion that nearly destroyed him. A man who wrapped care in chains, who dressed control as affection, who confused domination for love. In a house ruled by strict family expectations, Net's world had already been small. With that man, it became a cage. The pain was deep. The love was twisted. And Net, with the last strength his self-esteem could offer, ran-across an ocean, on a scholarship that felt like escape disguised as opportunity. For years, he lived quietly in a foreign land-studying, working, trying to forget. Until one day... he meets someone new.
