History Fanfic / BreatheInBreatheOut

* AdaptationDeviation: While the fic follows the canon as closely as possible considering the number of divergences present in it, the major divergence happens in [[WhamEpisode chapter 31]]. [[spoiler:Instead of heading towards Hosu City and fighting against the Hero Killer, like 99.99% of all fics do, the story decides to take an original route. Ryukyu, Miruko, and their interns raid a possible human trafficking operation. Arriving there, however, they find an abandoned League facility, with a flawed High-End Nomu prototype left behind. A fight happens, and when all hope seems lost, Nejire shows up and destroys the Nomu with a major blast.]] WordOfGod has declared that after the Kamino arc, there's going to be one or two more arcs (implied to be original content) before the final battle.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Shinso. Since his quirk relies heavily on IShallTauntYou tactics, getting on his opponents' nerves would inevitably make him one. However, he takes a step too far during his fight with Izuku when not only does he accuse him of getting things on life easy because of his quirk, but also insulting Ochako, Tetsutesu, and Itsuka, the very people that helped Shinso pass to the One-on-One fights by teaming with him during the Dungeon Crawl event. Izuku and his friends are justifiably pissed.

* BreakTheHaughty: A more subdued version compared to his canon counterpart, but still existent happens to Bakugo. While nicer in comparison to the version of him was at this point, Bakugo still sees himself as the absolute best, while others are simply extras. Then the Sports Festival happens, and Yui, someone he considers a second-rate knocks him out of his high horse on his first and only fight. After this, Izuku manages to [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre get him to believe in himself]] [[DareToBeBadass and get back on his feet]].

** Before the Dungeon Crawl event at the Sports Festival, Yui claims to team up with Izuku to watch out for his ass. And then... she proceeds to shamelessly stare at his butt before declaring: "Perfection" much to his embarrassment and Tokoyami as well as Dark Shadow's amusement.

* ForWantOfANail:
** Because of Izuku having a Quirk, he and Katsuki are more rivals rather than their toxic canon relationship.
** Something happened that caused Nezu to hire Lady Nagant as a teacher.
** Izuku's GravityMaster Quirk lets him stop Kurogiri from scattering the class at the USJ, resulting in the ensuing battle being more akin to a siege.
** With his showing attracting much more interest and wanting to figure out a way to control external applications of his quirk better, he interns with Miruko.
** Nagant prevents Iida's revenge quest against Stain after noticing he will intern in Hosu City. [[spoiler:Without Iida there, Stain manages to kill Native before being captured.]]

--> '''Ryukyu:''' [[LampshadeHanging You know the front door exists for a reason right?]]\\

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Miruko is the Tomboy to Ryukyu's Girly Girl amongst the Top 10. On the U.A. side, Midnight is the Girly Girl to Nagant's Tomboy, even though Nagant also has long, blue and pink hair styled in a ponytail.

** Yui with Izuku's insight goes from merely changing size of things to manipulating air to devastating effect.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Like canon, Todoroki declares Izuku as the strongest opponent from 1-A and promises to defeat him at the Sports Festival, dismissing all of his classmates. Unlike canon, however, the class does ''not'' take it lightly the way Todoroki ignores their strength, and they give '''him''' a declaration of war of their own.

** Nagant advises Kaminari to concentrate his eletricity in single spot rather than let all out at once, preventing him from succumbing to his HeroicRROD during a fight. He shows this at full efficiency during the USJ Siege, knocking out a couple of villains with electric punches.

** Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll of the Wild, Wild Pussycats, introduced during the Summer Trainning Camp arc also make an appereance during the Sports Festival, helping Cementoss during the Dungeon Crawl event.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Shinso. Since his quirk relies heavily on IShallTauntYou tactics, getting his opponents nerves would inevitably make him one. However, he takes a step too far during his fight with Izuku when not only does he accuse him of getting things on life easy because of his quirk, but also insulting Ochako, Tetsutesu and Itsuka, the very people that helped Shinso pass to the One-on-One fights by teaming with him during the Dungeon Crawl event. Izuku and his friends are justfiably pissed.

** {{Zigzagged}} with Bakugo. At first it does seems he is still the same arrogant and proud {{Jerkass}} he was in early canon, and he still holds much of his "I am going to be best in the world, and everyone else is a side-charecter" mentality that drove him for most of the start of the series. However, when it's revealed that with Izuku having a quirk, he started to not only stand up against Bakugo at school, but also surpass him in almost everything. His father's death also led to Bakugo toning down his aggressive behavior, not becoming the unhinged bully he was back in school.
** PlayedStraight with Endeavor. Since All Might revealed his condition one year prior the story start, his HeelRealization happens before the Hideout Raid arc, and he is sincerely concerned about Shoto handicapping himself by using only his right side, fearing he could have the same fate as Toya.

---> '''Izuku:''' You said that you didn’t believe me when I told you I struggled to get here. That in the end, I still gained a powerful quirk. But I did work myself off to get here. I wore myself down to the bone to get to this point. We’re more than just our quirks. Some of my friends don’t even have quirks suited for combat! So let me ask you this: Where's '''your''' effort?
** Izuku delivers another one to Todoroki (who lost to Kodai during his match) in order to make him stop handcapping himself:
---> '''Izuku:''' Todoroki, you're an idiot. Your father is right, the path you're taking would cost a lot more than just some frostbite. People could die because of you. Is that what you want? For people to die because you couldn't bear to use your own quirk?! To tell the families that lost their parents and children that you couldn't save them because you weren't willing to use your flames?!

---> '''Endeavor:''' You probably won’t believe me, but I have long let go of my ambition. So please Shoto, let go of your grudge as well. It will bring nothing but ruin to you as it did to me. Do you really want to be a hero like me? Someone that makes mistakes at the cost of the people around them, is that the kind of hero that you want to be?!
* AtrociousAlias: The name-picking exercise evolves into a competition of this, with Yui starting with "Size Queen." After her, Sero comes up "Tape Hero: Bondage Man", Kaibara with "The Drill That Will Pierce The Heavens" and [[TheComicallySerious Todoroki]] with "Frosted Hero: Snowjob", altough as it turns out, this one was prank from Kaminari and Sero.

** Class 1-B is more recurring than in canon, since Nagant and Vlad King want create a FriendlyRivalry dynamic between both classes.

* BadassAdorable: Nagant fits this criteria perfectly. Badass? She is '''THE''' best sniper in the world and one of the Top 20 Pro Heroes. Adorable? When Izuku and her were talking during an exercise, he couldn't help but think how cute she looks. Look at her picture at the charecters section.

** For Nagant is simple: Threat or harm her students and she will blow your brains out. The only reason the Nomu from the USJ did not died after she saw it almost killing Izuku was its super regeneration quirk.
** For Izuku is insult or mistreat his colleagues. When Shinso badmouths Itsuka, Uraraka and Tetsutesu during their match, Izuku lets his anger get the best of him and ends up brainwashed. After breaking free and winning their fight, Izuku subtly threatens Shinso into never again insulting any of his friends.

* BridalCarry: Yui makes Izuku carry her like a bride during their joint-training exercise.

* BrutalHonesty: Yui could give Tsu a ride for her money. She doesn't pull punches on what she says, whether is calling Todoroki a hypocrite for not using his full power, or admiting to Ryukyu and Miruko that she is dating Izuku and Momo while interning with them.
* ChickMagnet: A lot of girls his age and older are attracted to Izuku. Yui outright declared her intention to have sex with him and Tokage agrees and wants in.
* CoolTeacher: Nagant, who does her best to engage her students and ensure they know they can come to her with their problems.

* CruelToBeKind: Since they did not fought like in canon, Izuku has a different approach to make Todoroki use his fire: Punch him in the face an call him an idiot, saying that limitating his strenght, he will be putting not only himself, but innocents at risk, then delivering an ArmorPiercingQuestion (see above).

* DeadlyUpgrade: Subverted. [[spoiler:One for All's property of killing Quirked bearers is kept, ''but'', after it was transferred to Nejire, something amazing happened. Though it started out killing her, it turns out One for All and Wave Motion are highly compatible Quirks. After a very rough start, the two Quirks merged and Nejire not only recovered, it was like she was never dying in the first place]].

** All Might doesn't make a single appearance until the Sports Festival, and as a spectator at that.

** Before the Dungeon Crawl event at the Sports Festival, Yui claims to team up with Izuku to watch out for his ass. And then... she proceeds to shamelessly stare at his butt before declaring: "Perfection" much to his embarassement and Tokoyami as well as Dark Shadow's amusement.
** Setsuna joins the thirst train and stares at Izuku's six pack during their beach trip after the Sports Festival.
** During the training session with Momo, Ryukyu and Mirko, Yui makes no effort to look away from the attractive girls.
* EveryoneHasStandards: While Izuku can't deny the girls from 1-A and 1-B look attractive in their cheeleader outifts, he is livid with rage when he sees Mineta, well aware the short idiot boy was the one who put the girls on such an embarassing situation and punishes him by tossing Mineta into the teacher's booth ''at the other side of the arena.''

** With his showing attracting much more interest and wanting to figure a way to control external applications of his quirk better, he interns with Miruko.

* HumiliationConga: Bakugo goes through one at the Sports Festival. Not only does he not manage to land a single hit on Yui, but she swiftly defeats him with one of her new moves, Break Rule, a massive shockwave explosion. To rub salt on the wound, ''Yui'' is the one to declare Bakugo can't continue to fight, not even bothering to give him a second look after seeing him defeated.

* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: The Vine Nomu, aka High-End Zero.]] While the fic follows the'' My Hero Academia'' canon as closely as possible, considering the number of divergences on it, the trope namer is introduced on [[WhamEpisode Chapter 31.]] [[spoiler: Izuku, Momo, Yui, Miruko and Ryukyu head to raid a possible human trafficking operation. There, they find the High-End Zero, and this becomes one of the closest calls for the students since the USJ. The entire chapter evolves into a nightmare situation, with the five main characters barely making out of the battle alive and the High-End Zero not taking any damage despite their best efforts. It takes Nejire, the current wielder of One for All here, to kill the thing before it can finish off the heroes and students with a single strike. WordOfGod commented that if a High-End was able to almost to kill Endeavor in canon, there is no way two heroes and couple of students would stand a chance against it, even if it was a FlawedPrototype.]]

* {{Polyamory}}: It's a Izuku harem fic, so it's to be expected. Currently the polycule consists of Izuku, Yui, and Momo, while Miruko, Ochaco, Itsuka, Setsuna, Nejire, Nagant, and Kyoka are all implied to be interested in him.

* RefugeInAudacity: While signing Izuku's notebook, Miruko notices that his entry on her describes her costume as "sexy and practical." Izuku is embarassed, but then smugly says "I mean, am I wrong though"? Miruko loves it.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Miruko is the Tomboy to Ryukyu' Girly Girl amongst the Top 10. On the U.A. side, Midnight is the Girly Girl to Nagant's Tomboy, even though Nagant also has long, blue and pink hair styled on a ponytail.

* TookALevelInKindness: Bakugo's first action on the day after the Sports Festival is to bow down and apologize to his class for being such a jerk. Of course, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he gets annoyed by their stunned expressions and angrily wonders why they did not accept it immediately]], but it is a major progress, since the narration points out "I'm Sorry" does not count on Bakugo's vocabulary.
* {{Tsundere}}: Bakugo is a tsun-tsun rival/friend example. He recognizes Izuku's strength and appreciates the fact that he still watches over him after their friendship fell apart. Not that he would ever say it out loud.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Like canon, Todoroki declares Izuku as the strongest opponent from 1-A and promises to defeat him at the Sports Festival, dismissing all of his classmates. Unlike canon, however, the class does ''not'' takes it lightly the way Todoroki ignores their strength, and they give '''him''' a declaration of war of their own.
