    Summary

    Izuku was chosen for his lack of quirk. Aizawa was chosen for his quirk’s usefulness as it pertained to the mission. Both were scanned and vetted meticulously, followed for a minimum of one month (Izuku) and a maximum of three (Aizawa; it took much longer due to his pro-hero status).

    Kidnapped and subjected to experimentation, torture, and horrors beyond comprehension, Izuku and Aizawa only have each other.

    But left to the mercy of their captors, will their companionship be enough to break themselves out? Or instead, lead them to break apart in the process?

    Summary

    (Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)

    Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”

    “Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”

    “Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”

    “I-I’m what?! W-wait!”

    tl;dr

    Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

    Summary

    "D-don't go in!"

    The voice on the other end was undeniably young, and he knew instantly that this was a child, no older than 13 by the sound of it, that was on the other line. He glanced around, but he couldn't see anyone else around, even when he flared his quirk, so it was unlikely that the child was nearby. But that left the question: how did they reach him, and how were they seeing him?

    For now, he decided to play dumb, as much as he hated doing so. "What are you talking about? Who is this?"

    The child was silent, only the sound of stuttered breaths and frantic typing filling the line. After a moment, the child took a deep, shaky breath. "I k-know you're Eraser, an-nd that you're f-following Miss Joke, but it's a t-trap!"

    ---

    Izuku doesn't really have anything going for him, so why wouldn't he reach out to the leader of the infamous Underground Association-Eraser?

    Summary

    When villains become well known enough, they choose a hero to be their nemesis. This hero will get priority in all cases involving their nemesis, and have an additional responsibility to catch them. Nemesis call outs have been around as long as heroes and villains have existed, and are widely accepted as a normal part of the hero system. Mischief is the exception. Despite his power, he has never identified his chosen nemesis...

    Never, that is, until today.

    Summary

    In the depths of a vault, a boy and his guardian fight to hold on to the last fragments of their lives.

    Izuku Midoriya, torn from his home and forcibly molded by his father, All For One, lives under the weight of broken promises and silent terrors. Until the guardian arrives who will protect him and continue to hold him captive.

    Shouta Aizawa, captured by villains and forced to follow orders without will, is locked away with an nine-year-old kid, given a single mission: protect him and never let him escape.

    But in the midst of their confinement, what began as an imposed order will transform into a bond impossible to break — something even All For One won't be able to control.

    Or

    Forced to obey All For One's command, Aizawa is placed in a vault to protect and prevent any escape attempt by the son of the symbol of evil, Izuku. Unwittingly, protecting him will become something far greater than a simple order.
