History Fanfic / SecondChancesMHA

* AssholeVictim: Averted. While Mitsuki hates [[spoiler:Inko]] for abandoning Izuku, she still misses her due to their former friendship.

Synopsis: After being told he couldn't be a hero by his idol, All Might, Izuku gave up on life and attempts to commit suicide to end his pain after being rejected too many times. He survived, but ends up getting hospitalized and loses his memories. A guilt-ridden Katsuki wishes to make for all the pain he caused his former friend.

* AdaptationalJerkass: [[spoiler: Inko, of all people is this. Unlike in canon, where she loves her son unconditionally; here, she mentally abuses and derides Izuku. She forces him to be the one to pay the bills of their home and deal with the landlord, and when Mitsuki calls her to tell her that Izuku almost died, Inko callously dismisses it, saying that Izuku was a failure of a son and that the doctors at the hospital should stop wasting their time saving his life and instead donate his organs to people who may need them, much to Mitsuki's shock and horror.]]
* AssholeVictim: Averted. While Mitsuki hates [[spoiler: Inko]] for abandoning Izuku, she still missed her due to their former friendship.
* BerserkButton: FantasticRacism has become this for Katsuki. When he fought the robots at the U.A. entrance exam, he found out they were built for people with combat based Quirks and thinks that U.A. is full of Quirkists as well and that he'll be sure to have a word with them when he gets the chance.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Katsuki was downright horrified when he found out what the other students at Aldera did to Izuku's desk, claiming that he was better off dead. When they asked what they think of their "class project", Katsuki has this to say:

** [[spoiler: Inko doesn't care about her son, Izuku, at all; seeing the boy as a failure of a son and is more annoyed with the fact that he failed to himself.]]

* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: Katsuki is repeatedly hit with the realisation with how much he screwed up and that he should've stayed as Izuku's friend instead of labelling him a "Deku" as Izuku did nothing to deserve all the hate and scorn that he got.
* KidsAreCruel: When Katsuki entered his classroom at Aldera, he found out to his horror that the students left a vase of red spider lillies on Izuku's desk as well as taping several newspapers that showed the suicide rates of Quirkless people and a picture of a group of Quirkless commiting suicide. This is without getting into the several insults that they wrote, demeaning Izuku for failing to kill himself and "join the rest of his kind."

* MustMakeAmends: Katsuki really regrets how his actions lead to Izuku almost dying and realizes how much of a monster he was to him for so many years. He decides to become a hero that Izuku would be proud of and protect him from the harsh, cruel world they live in.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After Izuku nearly dies and loses his ability to walk after attempting to commit suicide, Katsuki is hit hard with how much of a BarbaricBully he was to Izuku, and regrets it even more when he finds out much Izuku has suffered from FantasticRacism from not only their classmates and teachers at Aldera, [[spoiler: but from his [[AbusiveParents own mother]] as well]].

* OhCrap: Katsuki has this when he realizes he [[LooseLips accidently mentioned]] to Izuku that he got his phone to open.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Katsuki decides to not tell Izuku about his [[UnSorcerer Quirkless]] status nor what that could mean for his future as he's afraid that Izuku will [[DespairEventHorizon relapse]] and [[DrivenToSuicide attempt to kill himself again]]. Koji, however, reveals to Izuku that he is Quirkless and that he has to be on his guard as a lot of people, including the doctors in the hospital, [[FantasticRacism see that in a negative light]].
* TokenGoodTeammate: The nurse, Koji, is the only member of the hospital staff who seems to genuinely care about Izuku's wellbeing, while all the members [[FantasticRacism believe that resources are being wasted on the Quirkless boy]].

* IShouldHaveBeenBetter: Katsuki is repeatedly with the realisation with how much he screwed up and that he should've stayed as Izuku's friend instead of labelling him a "Deku" as Izuku did nothing to deserve all the hate and scorn that he got.

-->''''Katsuki'''': I think you're all fucking sick.
