Perfect Reset

shansome

Summary:

Midoriya Izuku's quirk: Perfect Recall. The ability to relive any part of his past with all five senses isn't exactly the most powerful of quirks. Despite that, Izuku's going to become a hero. Even if he has to essentially fight quirkless.

But then one long, long, day, he meets her. And everything changes.

Or: If Uraraka had a second quirk, one that lets her rewind the entire world back to a specific point. The only catch? Her own memory gets reset along with everyone else-everyone, that is, but a single boy with a weak quirk.

Oh Worm?

by Nation_Ustria A quirk accident causes sixteen-year-old hero student Midoriya Izuku and nineteen-year-old veteran vigilante/superhero Tim Drake to swap bodies across universes. The Bats notice this immediately, and proceed to adopt the traumatized sunshine child and rope him into their chaos. All of UA's students and faculty, meanwhile, are scrambling to figure out how in the world an apparently amnesiac Midoriya is managing to be twenty times as terrifying chaotic problem-attracting as he'd been before. Or, in which Izuku is finally healing flourishing under the attention of an entire family of quirkless(!!!) heroes, and Tim is shamelessly trolling many, many people and has found a new best friend-slash-business partner in UA's principal.

Katsuki muttered, his wide eyes reflecting the horror before him. For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Beside him, Kirishima's face had gone pale, his thumb raised instinctively toward the window, to see how big the cloud was. "That's... that's just smoke, right?

But he couldn't tear his eyes away from the window, couldn't ignore the gnawing feeling in his gut."   War never changes. Thats what they say.

I Shot Cupid (I swear I’m not even that psychotic) by JoWithTheFlow

bnha | teen | 11k | monodeku | complete | anonymous confession

Izuku slid his thumb underneath the top of the note and quickly popped it open before he chickened out. If he chickened out, Iida would remind him of the note’s existence (because there was no way Iida wouldn’t do that) and then it would be awkward because Izuku would have to explain he hadn’t forgotten, he was just avoiding it. And Izuku was already awkward enough as it was without adding to it. Izuku read the inside of the note. He blinked. He blinked again. “Midoriya-kun?” Iida asked. “Is everything alright? Your face looks—” Numbly, Izuku showed him the note. There was a moment of silence, and then there were two moments of silence, and then Iida said, “It is unsigned.” Izuku flipped the note back around, looking at it again as if he expected the words to have changed in the time Iida had been reading it. Honestly, Izuku would have been less shocked if they had, because, well… I like you.

Ok, hear me out, Monoma and Izuku would be unstoppable, okay? So this is the most awkward Izuku story in the most delicious way. Izuku receives an anonymous note telling him "I like you". It was left on his locker and it's not signed, and Izuku simply cannot believe it was for him, he thinks he is undatable (which his friends are so cool about disproving him of the idea). Meanwhile Monoma, with whom he had become friends, simply reverted to his old ways, and worse, and Izuku is not sure what's going on. (it's not like he has a crush on Monoma and doesn't know how to deal). Amazing everything! Super fun and funny!

It didn’t take them long at all to reach Powerloader’s desk, especially not with Mei still pushing him in her excitement. Powerloader simply sighed and looked at them as they approached, “Should I be concerned about what you two are cooking up?” “No!” Izuku said at the same time that Mei shouted, “Yes!”

Power Loader should always be concerned (chp. 17)

Granted, it would have been harder growing up in society without at least something, so he didn’t mind that his quirk was different from his mom’s telekinesis and his dad’s fire breathing. His quirk was nothing like All Might’s, as it was not a physical quirk at all. It was nothing much in comparison to Kacchan’s, his explosions being able to handle pretty much every hero situation he would have. But he wasn’t sad about that, was he? After all, he could find some way to be a hero with his type of quirk. There has to be some hero that works in the field with a quirk like his. …hopefully. OR An Alternate Universe where Izuku saves Tenko Shimura, and goes to change everything.

this is my fic! check it out if u want to!

Izuku and Katsuki receive unexpected visitors as they continue their new routine.

Visits that end up ruining their plans twice.

And apparently Izuku is more obvious than they thought. Especially for Shoto.

[doodlegirl1998]

Hi. So I was thinking about Izu and his love interests and how some ladies (plus Shig) fit the bill.

Mei? Cool design. Has passion for her craft and has show to care for Izu (she is the one to upgrade his costume)

Melissa? Cool design too. Quirkless and badass and have great chemistry with Izu, love the clips of them together.

Shig?😏 the canon (forehead kiss and skimo kiss)

Nejire? Great design. They had a cute moment (Zuzu is not a perv. He is a real gentleman) and while it was one scene and many HCs her as gay or queer...this ship has potential(or had to) she is a strong student who has a powerful quirk and she and Izu could bond over this( I know how we dont know much about her life but still...I think they could be a cute ship)

Toga? Great design, srsly I love her design. She did ask him out ....in the middle of the war and has almost to no interaction to him but I feel this ship could work in aus.

Also Toga now knows what he considers a dream date...and while the internet mocks him. I found sweet.

So yeah those ladies (plus Shig😏) are winning against Ochako. Hell, Lady Nagant (yes too old for him) has a more positive interaction with him and Fox Lady too.

Ochako...not winning here. 😞😔

Hi @mikeellee 👋

To be honest all those ships could work, as you noted, Hori even added Shigadeku crumbs, both in their parallels and in the artwork with how close he draws them. (Just like he did with Togachacko.) Shig has gotten closer to getting a kiss from Izu than Ochaco! Who is the love interest here? If I didn't read the series, with how Hori draws them together, I would think it's Shig. Come on Hori!

Now to address the other ships you mentioned:

IzuMei - It would be a cute ship as you mentioned. She's quirky and unafraid to express it. I feel like being with Mei would help Izu gain confidence. Whereas I think being with Izuku would help Mei socialise with others.

IzuMelissa - It's been a while since I've seen the movie but I also thought they were cute together. Plus her being quirkless as well gives them a common ground.

IzuNejire - Not a ship I had thought of for Izuku but I respect your opinion there.

IzuToga - A ship that has a tonne of potential and under a different writer (who fleshed Toga out more as a tragic villain battling her blood urges rather than flip flopping between this and blood yandere) this could have really flourished.

The shame is IzuOcha had a tonne of potential to be awesome but Hori squanders it. Here's what I would change;

1) Have her inspire Izuku's hero name 'Dekiru' - It would be the beginning of a sweet deep moment between them.

2) Don't have her call Izuku plain. I found this to be a strange thing for Hori to have Izu's future love interest say particularly as her character design is more 'ordinary' and Izuku's appearance hasn't changed between now and then so why does she suddenly find him physically attractive?

3) Give her story focus rather than all the ungodly focus on Bkg. As well as build up her parallels with Toga. Build on why she thinks she can't express her feelings; a fear of losing his friendship? Something inspired by Aizawa's poor teaching? Just give this girl anything, Hori.

4) Have her stand up against Bkg's plan to have 1A vs Izuku. I hated this moment in MHA so much. If Ochaco needed to have a BAMF moment where she stood up to someone for Izuku it should have been against Bkg not the civilians rightfully worried about their safety but Hori wastes her and this ships potential...
