    Summary

    It’s always stressful for Izuku when he enters a new home. He wishes it wasn’t. He wishes it was as senseless as returning to the Center, back to rusted cots and mildew bathrooms. But every time he steps into a new home, his emotions return, flaring up to remind him that he is still, unfortunately, alive.
    ---
    Izuku Midoriya is strange. He talks more than Shouta expects but with an uneven smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. He’s eager to please, desperate to stay out of trouble, but something about his fake smile makes Shouta feel like he’s being laughed at.

     

    OR Quirkless orphan Izuku is placed under Shouta's care temporarily while the world tries its best to kill them both.

    Summary

    At age twelve, Midoriya Izuku learned three truths: not all men are created equal, no one must see that they get to him, and if the world will only see him as a stupid and useless Deku, he will prove. Them. Wrong.

    After his mother’s death, murdered in cold blood due to having a quirkless child, Izuku disappears into the shadows. Alone, he becomes the analytical vigilante Green Quill, exposing corrupt heroes and plotting the downfall of the Hero Commission. Every hero, every system, every piece on the board is a potential pawn—or a threat.

    The game is far from over, and every move carries consequences. In a world built on rules, will a single rook be enough to bring the Commission down? Or will Izuku be checkmated?
