New fic rec!
Yuuei Survival Guide
by Lowlywriter
Izuku can see ghosts! He makes friends with one named Oboro when he starts at UA. This is probably my favorite of the ‘Izuku sees ghosts’ au’s.
I don’t think its been hinted yet if this is a fic where Kurogiri is or is not also Oboro, so I guess we’ll see. Luckily the author usually updates realitivly often, which is always a plus!
This fic also has Dadzawa and Dadmic, which instantly makes it ten times better. Sorry Inko, but you’re a bad mother in this one, too.
Theres maybe a liiitttttle bit of All Might bashing? If you squint. I imagine it’s just there because it’s seems difficult to make a fic where Izuku both has All Might as a mentor and yet gets put in Aizawa’s custody instead, without bashing All Might at least a little. He still comes off as being in character though, so there’s that.
I’m really anticipating when Izuku finally comes clean to Aizawa and Hizashi about seeing ghosts, and of course specifically Oboro…
⚠️ Nothing major I can think of to warn for, except ghosts maybe. Oh wait also homelessness, child neglect, and abandonment, that too.
Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Writing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”
The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.
or,
Izuku tries to pretend eveything is okay even though his homelife is crumbling around him, there’s an insanely powerful Quirk that’s not entirely his coursing through his veins, he suddenly knows his childhood hero, All Might, and to top it all off, he seems to have befriend a pastel blue-haired ghost that has way too much insider knowledge on Izuku’s new homeroom teacher, and English teacher. He’s really just trying to survive Yuuei…
This one is only a chapter long and makes no promises about updates, but the premise is so great and honestly even after only a chapter it’s competing for my favorite ghost quirk Izuku, so I’m recing it, five stars. And sense they’re both ghost quirk Izuku I’m tacking it onto my previous ghost fic rec.
Sometime Before Dawn
Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Writing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⚠️Warning for death, grief, and just a lil bit of gore.⚠️
Izuku’s got a secret.
He’s a quirkless UA gen-ed student by day and professional consultant for the dead by night. He writes his chem homework before breaking into houses, finding lost rings, uncovering long-buried family secrets— anything to help the ghosts he can see on a daily basis peacefully pass on. All for a price, of course.
He’s doing fine all on his own. He stays under the radar, hidden in the shadows, content with leaving the rest of the world alone if it means going about his own business.
But when something breaks into his school and pro hero Eraserhead is presumed dead, Izuku is the only one who can see him, much less help. He’s thrust straight into the path of a villain who can bend the rules of life and death itself, uncertain of who he can trust, evading capture from both the bad— and the good— guys. All while being followed around by a sleep-deprived ghost, of course.
