Summary
The beauty of the era of quirks wasn't the amazing abilities; it was that nobody sane would even entertain the thought that Kuroko, the most wanted vigilante in all of Japan, was Quirkless.

Summary
Izuku didn't know what he was doing when he took his hand. When he said yes. All he knew was that he was going to be a hero, no matter what anyone had said. He was going to help people.
But then it all turned out to be a lie. The one person he thought he could trust a villain that wanted to use him to kill in his stead. He thought he was going to do good, in the end all he was made for was tearing apart the lives of villains, civilians and heroes alike, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
So when he sees his chance, he takes it. And he runs as far and as fast as he could. Every chance for a future shattered by his own choices, and no chance for rest in a constant race against time.
Izuku thought he was going to be a hero.
Instead he became nothing more than a homeless kid running blind from everything he knew, just trying to do some good and hoping it might be enough to make up for every time he'd failed.
And then something changes, when a certain underground hero takes on his case.

better luck next time by nauticalwarrior

Summary
As he falls, he lets himself think about it. He lets himself think that if he wakes up, if things go back again, it means that he does have a quirk. It means he really can take a swan dive off a roof and hope for better luck in his next life. It means that all along, he’s been useless and worthless because he hasn’t died yet.
He hits the ground.
And then he opens his eyes.

Summary
When Midoriya Izuku wants something, he figures out how to get it.
Maybe it's not the best coping mechanism, but being the class clown (and class vigilante, although nobody knows that yet) has proven to be the best way for a quirkless freak to get some sort of positive affirmation. Yeah, he's useless, but at least he's funny. As the vigilante Ghost, he meets Eraserhead and saves civilians during daring escapades. But as the newly-quirked Izuku, his abusive father has come back and everyone in UA seems to hate him for making jokes.
In other words; follow Izuku on his adventures through UA as he suffers in many various ways! Might include a ship after a while, but will not be romance-oriented. Read the tags for possible TWs!
!!!! //this is not my original story; a friend of mine came up with the idea and most of the plot\\ !!!!

Summary
“He had a sharp nose and head with full, healthy hair, and was dressed in a white button-up shirt that looked crisp and too tight on his body, with slacks hanging low on narrow hips. There was stubble along his jaw and exhaustion beneath his eyes despite the well-kept mustache and soft blue tint of his irises, but somehow neither of those things took away from him. If anything, they added something unfairly charming. He smelled faintly of cheap cologne and cigarette smoke, and something sweeter underneath that reminded Healy vaguely of oranges.
Healy frowned when he noticed that the man’s blond hair was exactly the same shade of June’s usual beehive hairdo.”
Or
Four times Jackson Healy thought about kissing Holland March, and one time Holland March kissed him. (Plus one bonus chapter at the end)

Summary
There’s a magician living in an abandoned warehouse down on the Tricorner Docks.
Park Row has its fair share of strange tales and rumors floating through the cracks. The kids of the alley talk at length, telling ghost stories and cautionary tales. Passing advice on how to survive from one night to the next in the form of fun little parables that make the cold nights feel a little bit warmer, and maybe let them pretend that their lives are all a fun little game, just for a few moments.
The magician, at first, feels like a fable. Something that a kid saw and read just a little bit wrong and didn’t wait around to find out what was really going on. The kid who spotted the magician – a 9 year old red-head with green eyes and a smattering of freckles across his pale face – tells the tale like a myth.
A magician with golden hair and golden eyes, who clapped his hands together and rebuilt a car from scraps with a flash of light. Taking nothing in payment but a bottle of whiskey and a home-cooked meal.
(Or: The one where Edward Elric ends up in Gotham, decides Jason Todd is his, and makes it Bruce Wayne's problem.)

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

Summary
A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!
La traduccion al espanol by MichiHolmes! Gracias!

One day, his strumming was not answered.
The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.
(He was going to die out here. Alone.)

"Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."
"Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"
"Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.
Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.
