It Takes a Child to Teach a Village by Plantsandpaints

Summary
Life doesn't always go the way you want it to. Sometimes it just throws you in a garbage can and lights the garbage can on fire and laughs as you scream in agony. And all you can do is tell yourself that it'll be okay. That you'll be okay. And sometimes you're right and you wake up the next morning to a wonderful day full of sunshine and rainbows and singing birds and you start living life in a damn Disney movie.
Other times you're wrong. The cycle just continues. Maybe Life adds lighter fluid next time. Or fills the bottom of the can with dead fish. And it's up to you to get up off your sorry ass and do something to fix your life because it is clear that you're basically alone. When there's no hero coming to save you, you're forced to save yourself. Be your own hero.
Izuku decides the best way to be a hero is to be a teacher.

Summary
"I’m only two minutes late!” Izuku protested. Had he missed the start of an important test? None of the national, standardized tests were supposed to happen this month and even being two minutes late to one of those wouldn’t elicit this sort of reaction. They were discussing their career interest forms today, but that was it. Nothing time-critical was supposed to be happening.
“Midoriya, you were reported missing a week ago. No one has seen you for eight days. The police have been combing the city for you.”
"I’m sorry. What?”
Midoriya Izuku went missing for a week and turned up in a back alleyway with skills he's never even heard of and no memory of how he came by them. He resigns himself to never learning the truth of what happened to him, but he shouldn't waste this chance should he? He could become a hero with reflexes like these.

Starborn Hero by NotMasonPines

Summary
In canon, Izuku turned out to be quirkless, despite both his parents having quirks: one that attracts small objects and one that breathes fire. There are so many ways for these quirks to have combined into what could’ve been Izuku’s, and so many of these potential combinations can be seen across the multiverse. In this specific one, however, Izuku Midoriya is born with a star in his stomach and plasma coursing through his veins…That’s sure to affect a few things in his life, for better and for worse.
A healthy dose of the butterfly effect, plenty of quirk theory and analysis, unconventional relationships and dilemmas, a revamped curriculum and more await Izuku and the others, in a world that seems so similar yet so different once you look closer.
(Previously ‘Quirk: Starborn’)“Izuku, promise me you’ll be just like the Sun, the brightest star in the sky. That way, when I and everyone else all over the world look up, we’ll know it’s you.”

For Want of Izuku's Toe Joint by Talavin

Tags
Summary
When he was four years old, the doctor showed Izuku and his mother the x-ray of the boy's foot. Since he only had one joint in his pinky toe, the doctor explained, there was a very high chance his quirk would manifest eventually. Year after year passed without any sign of it though, leaving Izuku to wonder if he could become a hero even without a quirk. Nevertheless, Izuku does possess a subtle, but extremely powerful ability - the kind that could make him the greatest hero of all time.
