  Summary

  Okay so maybe everything wasn’t fine- It wasn’t his fault his childhood friend told him to take a swan dive off of a roof. It wasn’t his fault that he got attacked by a villain on his way home, and it wasn’t his fault All Might came to save him. It wasn’t his fault that All Might was a quirkest piece of shit. And it most definitely was not his fault that he activated an (apparently) dormant quirk by trying to save said childhood friend.

   

  //

  Izuku was quirkless. Sure, he now has a quirk, but will that really change anything?
