Crystalized Caramel Dreams by JustAFish (JustAFoosh)

Summary

Dreams are a fragile thing. They are born and broken so easily. but what many people forget is that even when a dream is broken, even when it fades away, never to be accomplished, it does not simply vanish. It is absorbed, and the effects of that dream extend throughout the rest of a person's life.
Other dreams are not broken, or accomplished. They are uncomplete, because the one who had them could not accomplish them in their time on this world. These dreams are those the most nurtured by the world. Because those who were close with the dreamer who woke pick this dream up. It becomes their own dream, to accomplish in memory, and in the stead of the one who can no longer complete it themselves. Everyone has a dream. and one day, we will all leave an unfinished dream behind.
Izuku Midoriya will be a hero. He must. Because Katsuki Bakugou cannot.

Making a Gamble by JustAFish (JustAFoosh)

Summary

Izuku has heard whispers of The Dealer before. A mysterious figure rumored to be the one running the criminal world of Japan from the shadows. Someone with the power to give and take quirks. Depending on where those rumors stem from, The Dealer is considered something different. To Heroes, and the average citizen, The Dealer is a monster. To those with villainous quirks, or mutations, he is a broker. To the quirkless, he may as well have been a saint. Of course, this was all a myth.
At least it was. Then Izuku sees something himself, something that can be explained by anything else, and suddenly those myths hold real weight.
For all that The Dealer is a villain, as far as criminal overlords go, all one needs to do is look at Italy, and Egypt to see just how reasonable Japan’s shadow leader is. Maybe, just maybe, if he can cut a deal, the number of lives a truly useful quirk could let him save would be worth it…
Izuku was never a betting person. But excluding his own quirklessness, he did have a fair bit of luck. Perhaps it was time to push it.
