    Summary

    SEQUEL!!! PLEASE READ "The Weight of Want" if you're interested in this story :) Do NOT read the description if you have not read or finished "The Weight of Want". Also, tags contain some minor spoilers so I will include warnings in the notes in the first chapter if you don't want to get those.

     

    Finally back to school after his car crash, (now) 20 year old Nikolaus Kasai is desperate to just get through his final year of high school. Unfortunately for him, Aizawa Shouta, his art professor, and him have had quite the history. Niko's learned to resent him, and Aizawa has been just as cold right back to him.

    After so much that happened between them, Niko can't help but antagonize him every chance he gets. Perhaps it's not good for his decaying mental state, but the tension between them is too much for him to resist.

    Summary

    “You did what?” Naomasa eventually rasps once he can breathe again.

    “I don’t want my boy to make the same mistakes I did,” Toshinori explains. “But he’s a great deal shyer than I was at his age. So I’ve taken it upon myself to reach out on his behalf.”

    “No,” Naomasa practically gasps, some strange mix of horror and glee in his expression. “Toshinori, tell me you’re joking. You’re trying to matchmake Izuku?”

    Naomasa doesn’t wait for Toshinori to actually answer him.

    Instead, he just breaks out into loud braying laughter, uncaring of the way everyone around them has stopped to stare.

    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

    In a world where being quirkless marks you with government-issued red shoes, Izuku Midoriya—now a rising hero with a powerful quirk—secretly becomes a symbol of hope for the quirkless. Known in underground circles as the boy who can customize your shoes and rewrite the quirk registry, Deku uses his skills to restore dignity and safety to those society overlooks. As he hacks systems and repaints shoes, a quiet rebellion begins to grow.

    When his actions are discovered by Aizawa, the truth leads not to punishment, but mentorship and protection. Other heroes, like Bakugo, start joining in, helping Deku deliver not just shoes, but a message: everyone deserves to be seen.

    A turning point comes when Deku rescues a young quirkless girl during a villain attack—her red shoes becoming a symbol of everything wrong and everything worth saving. The moment goes viral, sparking public outrage, media attention, and slow but powerful steps toward reform. As change begins to ripple through society, Deku’s quiet acts of defiance evolve into something greater: a movement.
