more than you hoped to be

Summary:

“Taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you’re more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.” - Bette Greene

In another world, Chisaki Kai is a ruthless, cruel man who stops at nothing to rid the world of quirks. In this one, however, he draws lines: one being Eri. He cares for her, treats her like his own daughter. And for his precious daughter, he needs somebody to help care for her, somebody who isn’t one of the Eight Bullets or a member of the Yakuza.

Enter one Midoriya Izuku: quirkless, protective, and the perfect candidate to be her babysitter. Now if only Chisaki could just stop worrying about the boy, too, that would be great. (No, Chronostasis, he does not have ‘paternal instincts,’ thank you very much!)

Or: Midoriya Izuku (accidentally) turns the Yakuza into the good morally grey guys.

    Summary

    Logically, Akaguro Chizome had seen enough as the vigilante Stendhal to expect both anything and nothing at the same time. It still didn’t prepare him for when they brought in a child, though. And it certainly didn’t prepare him for when the Doctor dropped the boy off in his cell afterwards along with a first aid kit and told Chizome to take care of him.

    Or; Chizome and Izuku are taken to be test subjects for Doctor Garaki’s quirk experiments. The events that result from this are nothing like what anybody expects. Still, Izuku wants nothing more than to be a hero, even with an ex-vigilante as his new dad.
