Summary
Fourteen-year-old him was an idiot. He should've never joined the League of Villains. He wanted to fix society, not end it. How the hell was he supposed to know that Shigaraki would release an army of Nomu across Japan and kickstart the Nomu apocalypse?!
But it happened, and now his friends are all dead (no thanks to him), and the only way to fix this mess is to turn back the hands of time to where this all began. Which means he has to go to UA and get into the Hero Course. The Quirkless, ex-villain, has to become a Hero to save the world.
. . . Yeah, this isn't gonna turn out well.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya’s father is a Hou-ou — a Japanese phoenix.
For some reason, this means yokai have a standing invitation to pester Izuku with their existence. Birds assemble choirs for his birthday. If there’s no cedar leaf under the welcome mat, the amazake babaa that lives two apartments over will be knocking on their door by evening. His yokai-purifying excursions get mistaken for vigilantism far too often.
(What’s going on with All Might? Is Principle Nedzu a yokai? Tokoyami, could you please get Dark Shadow to stop calling me ‘my Lord’?)

Summary
Shouta Aizawa just expelled an entire class of students that had no potential, and was on his way home for a well earned break when he gets bumped into on the street and ends up as a cat. It takes a few days, but eventually he finds himself in the home of Izuku Midoriya, who just wants to help the cat that looked half starved. He did not sign up for a weirdly intelligent cat that has a quirk that can erase other quirks.
Shouta determines that the kid has potential, and he's not going to let it go to waste. Even if All Might was also trying to make the boy into his successor.

Summary
Quirks are everything. In the decades since their arrival, they've become so ingrained in society that having a quirk is equated with being human.
So, what happens when someone is quirkless? Are they viewed as less than those have one? Not fully deserving to be called human?
What happens when someone has more than one quirk, against the natural order of things? Are they viewed as monsters? Inhuman for an entirely different reason?
And, most importantly.
What happens when someone is born with a quirk that gives them the power to decide who falls into what category?

Summary
Children grow up fearing the beast below the mattress or under the stairs, crouching in cramped closets and hiding in the dark alleys. They grow up believing their parents when they are told they can’t hurt you.
Because monsters aren't real, right?
Izuku is gifted with an odd quirk of sharp claws and glowing eyes- a target for cruel words and harsh phrases. Freak. Useless.
For years, he longed for his power to one day evolve and strengthen- no longer wanting to be considered the useless freak no matter where he stood. Wanting to be more than something people sneered or raised a brow at.
Only when his quirk suddenly bursts into something of pure horror, something more than the word freak, Izuku wishes he swallowed those words.
Four year old Izuku feared the beasts bellow his mattress. He feared the monsters his mother tried to say didn’t exist.
But as Izuku aged he soon found himself no longer afraid of what didn’t exist. But he feared what stared right back at him in the bathroom mirror. -

Summary
"So why should I be the one to go?! You’re the teacher! The Hero!! What good could someone like me do?!”
“Izuku.” The man’s voice was harsh, and made the younger man’s eyes focus on his friend. His eyes softened. “It must be you. You’re not who you were back then. You aren’t useless. Remember this: You are a Hero. And the world is counting on you—even if nobody realizes it. Here. When the time comes... give this to him. You'll know he trusts you when he calls you 'Problem Child.'" He smiled fondly, handing Izuku a pair of rings on a chain.
~~~~~~~
When the world ends, their only hope is to send one Quirkless man back in time. Back in his 14-year-old body, will Midoriya Izuku be able to save the world that shunned him all his life? And will he finally be able to become a hero this go around?
Good thing he had time as a vigilante to practice.
