History Fanfic / GreenTeaRescue

* CompositeCharacter: In this fic, Toga's first vicitm Saito is merged with [[spoiler:Mustard]].

** Ochako arrives late at Izuku's house the day after the Festival, and when he asks about it she mentions she had to take care of something. Izuku replies that the next time she should call since he wouldn't mind giving him a hand, making her wobble. [[spoiler:Given that the previous chapter ended with Ochako waking up in the middle of an EroticDream with Izuku, it's quite obvious [[ADateWithRosiePalms what]] kept her busy.]]

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Toga doesn't really care about appearances or who sees her undressed, emphasized in Chapter 29 when she talks with Iida with no pants on and makes it clear she was going to have ADateWithRosiePalms whether he liked it or not.

* NotHelpingYourCase: [[spoiler:Saito's grudge against Toga is understandable, but he doesn't do himself any favors when he confronts her in Chapter 37 by outright saying her parents should have killed her when she was born, [[SuicideDare telling her to commit suicide if she wants to make up for her crimes]] (earning him the ire of Midoriya), trying to kill her in front of a crowd of reporters and causing a panic instead when he gasses Midoriya. If anything, Saito only makes himself look like the real villain, with [[EvenEvilHasStandards Chitose even lampshading that Saito had gone too far and went out of control with his last action.]]]]

* TheyDo: Preemptively. The story ''begins'' with Izuku and Ochako as a married couple with children, so we do know they will hook up.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Related to this, while Ochako is described as "chubby" in the manga (chubby by Japanese standards, at least), thanks to undergoing the same training as Izuku, she develops a more fit figure with noticeable muscles.
** In canon, Mineta's perverted antics are PlayedForLaughs, and Mineta himself is treated like a minor nuisance at worst. Not so much here. When the girls find out about Mineta wanting to spy on their locker room through a hole while they get changed, they react as you would expect, and the situation is treated seriously.

* AwesomeByAnalysis:

** Izuku and Ochako again on Bakugo, this time about the latter learning about One for All. Izuku states that Bakugo's growing obsession is best curtailed by telling him the truth, but Ochako counters with the facts that Izuku is not responsible for Bakugo and that the latter has done nothing to prove he can be trusted.

* VoiceForTheVoiceless: Uraraka postures as one for Izuku to her rival, Himiko, during the Sports Festival. Uraraka insists that Himiko's very forward behavior towards Izuku is sexual harassment and needs to stop; when Himiko responds that Izuku has never given any indication that he wants her to stop and she would comply if he asked, Uraraka declares that "I know how he feels. I know what he thinks. Just because Deku hasn't said anything doesn't change a thing. I'm here because it's my responsibility to look after him. I promised I would, even if that means I have to protect him from you." Toga then [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructs]] Uraraka's claim by furiously pointing out that this means, logically, that Uraraka knew about [[spoiler:Izuku's self-sacrificing plan at the USJ before he enacted it and chose to leave him to die and let herself be saved at his expense]], [[WhatTheHellHero calling out the hypocrisy of claiming to be protecting Izuku if this is true.]] Himiko then finishes with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech regarding how Uraraka has neither the knowledge or power to speak for or protect Izuku like she claims.

** Izuku snaps at Recovery Girl and his mentors when they lecture the boy for injuring himself again when fighting Stain and the Hosu Nomus. As Izuku correctly points out, the alternative to hurting himself, in pretty much every case, was letting someone to die, and in all those cases the pro heroes, the ones supposed to deal with this kind of situation, were either incompetent (The Sludge Villain incident), absent/delayed (All Might at the USJ), or among the people Izuku had to save (Aizawa and Thirteen at the USJ, Native at Hosu).

* AbusiveParents:
** Himiko's parents. After learning that her Quirk requires drinking blood, they had Himiko attend a Quirk Suppression "specialist" so she will act "normal", even though there are government programs to help those with strange dietary requirements, all for the sake of their reputation, which eventually leads to the psychotic break that caused her to attack Saito and made her to go on the run. When U.A. comes to request custodianship of Himiko, they think it's to keep her contained and sign off without a care, but when her past comes to light they state their intention to take her out of U.A. - and send her to [[TheAlcatraz Tartarus]].

** Izuku, after asking Ochako if she would like to go for a walk along the beach, is reminded by her that she is wearing her tights so she can not just take off her shoes to walking in the surf. She jokingly asks if she should take them off too. Izuku then remembers that ShesGotLegs and unintentionally imagines her peeling the tights off. He quickly delivers a SlapYourselfAwake to himself to make himself stop - much to Ochako's confusion.

* ShesGotLegs: When Ochako asks Izuku (half-sarcastically) if she should peel off her tights to walk on the beach, Izuku looks down and ''reconfirms'' that, yes, Ochako has very nice legs. It does seem to be one of the things he likes in girls, as he notes once that Himiko has very healthy legs and Chapter 26 contains a SuspiciouslySpecificDenial about him regularly looking at Ochako's legs.

* AngerBornOfWorry: Once Izuku recovers from [[spoiler:almost getting killed by the Nomu]], Ochako gives him a massive WhatTheHellHero rant, ArmorPiercingSlap included.

* ArmorPiercingSlap:
** Did Ochako have to slap Bakugou to use her Quirk on him? No. But, hey, if she has the chance to get away with it...
** Ochako does this again to Izuku after the USJ attack when he nearly gets himself killed when he tried to protect All Might (who was close to his time limit) from Shigaraki and the Nomu.

''Green Tea Rescue'' ([[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18469372 Ao3 Story Link]] [[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2529409 Ao3 Series link]], [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13261016/1/Green-Tea-Rescue FF link]]) by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/589016/ss3dj ss3dj]] is a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfic with two key differences from canon: the first one is that, unlike canon, Izuku is born with a Quirk, [[MindOverMatter the ability to telekinetically move small objects]]. However, this Quirk is so weak Izuku is functionally Quirkless and is treated as such.

* CriticalResearchFailure: InUniverse, the prologue shows that many books have been written about Izuku and Ochako's adventures and origins. According to Eri, none of them are even close to the truth (though Izuku finds them funny for that very reason).
--> '''Eri''': Man, some of these are so stupid. Whoever wrote them needs to learn how to fact check.\\
'''Toshi''': That's why Daddy likes them. He likes to point the stuff that's wrong.

* AmazonianBeauty: Even if she's still shorter than Izuku and most of the rest of the class, both Mina and Himiko have used the term amazon to describe Ochako. Jirou has even pointed out Ochako's abs, much to her [[MuscleAngst embarrassment]]. Later Ochako would pick Izuku up out of bed and load him into a wheelchair to take him to their award ceremony, though she was a little confused why Katsuki was wondering why she didn't use her Quirk to help movie him. She would dismiss this idea since he's not heavy to her.

*** Although with the Spin off story [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/34055170 Green Tea And Strawberry Jam]] the author has acknowledged that the triangle becoming a OneTrueThreesome was possible under the right set of circumstances.

** Izuku being born with a Quirk is an obvious point of divergence from canon, but the "Inko Midoriya Origins" arc subverts it: [[spoiler:While not confirmed, it's strongly implied that All for One giving Fa Jin to Inko might have played a role in Izuku not being born Quirkless here]].

** Toga again, this time after she learns that the Hero Commission chose ''not'' to reveal Stain's Quirk to the Pro Heroes chasing him just because they want to send someone from the Top Ten to do it.

*** This also gets pressed twice during the fight against Stain: the first time (after he sees her fighting Stain hand in hand) causes him to summon One for All for the first time and rips apart the entire street to throw it all at Stain, the second time [[spoiler:(as he sees her getting choked by the winged Nomu)]] he up and [[spoiler:manifests an UpToEleven version of Hisashi's Fire Breath that is strong enough to ''incinerate'' the monster]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** The year before joining U.A., Izuku and Ochako are trained by All Might. This gives them a MASSIVE advantage over most of their classmates, who mostly trained on their own. During the Heroes vs Villains exercise, Todoroki noticed that Izuku and Ochako are way too good and immediately guesses a Pro Hero had a hand in their training.
*** Related to this, while Ochako is described as "chubby" in the manga (chubby by Japanese standards, at least), thanks to undergoing the same training as Izuku, she develops a more fit figure with noticeable muscles.
** One day, Izuku and Ochako decided to continue their training despite the storm that was forming above them. The next day, they woke up with a cold and some fever.
** For most of her life, Toga always felt she was unwanted and has a very harsh life. Her parents disowned her, and she basically lived on the streets, begging and stealing to survive. The best she got was Stain ''tolerating'' her presence at best before he finally ditched her. So when Izuku saves her from a bunch of would-be rapists and shows genuine concern for her well-being, Toga immediately develops a mad crush on him and tries to find a way to be with him on a permanent basis.
** The fake cities UA uses as training battlegrounds have lots of vacant buildings. Said buildings are prime spots for rats and other vermin to use as nests.
** Shinso grew up with most people telling him that his Quirk is evil and befitting a villain. This made him very reluctant to use his Quirk on other people, despite, or maybe because he wants to prove he can be a hero. Even after Himiko and Momo pointing out that heroes are expected to use their Quirks on their opponents and that there are far worse Quirks than his, he's still hesitant to brainwash others.

** Despite the deal U.A. made with Toga, they're aware of the girl's very turbulent past, and thus they force her to go to therapy sessions in order to help her achieve a better state of mind. She's also on a very tight leash, having to report when she's going out, where she's going, etc., and too many mishaps will see her on a one-way ticket back to jail.
** Mental problems cannot be healed easily, much less in a couple of weeks. When the story focuses on Toga during the USJ attack, she is shown struggling to keep her blood thirst at bay, and even then she is not successful.
** Ochako and Bakugou combine their Quirks to turn the boat they are in into a flying boat. The maneuver is successful, but everyone has to hold onto anything they can find to avoid falling off, and they realize too late that they have no means to stop the boat before it crashes.
** As Aizawa makes All Might painfully realize, if you take a boy with almost no sense of self-worth and praise him for putting himself in danger to save others, the result is somebody who will jump recklessly into dangerous situations without thinking if he will come out of them alive.
*** Related to this, Aizawa claims that he won't expel Izuku even if he wanted to because he knows that Izuku will simply go vigilante, which will result in him being arrested or killed. After the battle with Stain, Aizawa and the rest of Izuku's mentors also acknowledge that lecturing Izuku on his reckless behavior is useless because the only times Izuku (a nice, kind boy who doesn't want to disobey or disappoint them) exhibits this self-destructive behavior is because someone's life is in danger and Izuku really has no options but going all the way or let someone get killed.
** Regardless of her attempt to go heroic, Toga still did terrible things in the past, [[spoiler:and Saito - the boy she attacked and whose blood she sucked, the trigger that led to her running away - not only remembers her but goes into a HeroicBSOD when he sees her on-screen during the Sports Festival.]]
** Even if she was rescued earlier than in canon, Eri suffered a lot due to Overhaul's experiments on her - and she has bad dreams about him. Relatedly, her instinctive idea of drawing Overhaul helps her cope a little, something that is sometimes prescribed in RealLife to deal with traumas.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Toga's hero costume is a cross between her canon villain costume and Stain's. It also shows off she is a complete KnifeNut, but despite [[TerrorHero her frightening appearance]], she's still on the side of good.

** Denki has this reaction when he's matched against [[KnifeNut Himiko's]] team during the Battle Trial arc, fearing that he's going to get stabbed (and Kyoka definitely ''not'' reassuring him).

* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: In Chapter 40, Himiko calls Izuku in the middle of the night and accidentally interrupts his EroticDream with Ochako. When she attempts to tease him about it, Izuku accidentally thinks about it and moans over the phone, leaving her flabbergasted and causes him finishes to call abruptly.

* OneTrueThreesome: Himiko is attempting to set up one of these between her, Ochako, and Izuku as she has a crush on both of them.

Now with a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/GreenTeaRescue character page]] under construction. Please move all the character tropes there.

** Hisashi Midoriya, of the neglectful kind. The only time he really took an interest in Izuku was after he got his Quirk, and when Izuku was unable to show great improvement in its use he just dropped it. A few weeks later, he left for his overseas job and has barely come back. Now, all he cares about is how what Izuku may do affects his image: he was surprised when he learned Izuku got into the Hero Course, told Inko to make sure Izuku would not do anything that would reflect badly on him, and when he calls after the USJ incident, it is only to ask if he got his injuries interfering with the heroes' rescue and threatening to pull him out of U.A. if he does something that embarrasses him. When learning this, Ochako realizes that now she hates someone even more than [[ArchEnemy Bakugou]].

** The second [[ForWantOfANail divergence]] is Ochako moving to Musutafu and meeting Izuku a year before the U.A. Entrance Exam.
** Shinso made his first appearance during the Sports Festival arc. Here, he shows up as early as the Entrance Exam.
** Toga made her debut towards the end of the Stain arc. Here, she appears even before Izuku even takes the Entrance Exam.

** Eri makes a sudden appearance at the end of Chapter 16, which takes place the day after the USJ Incident. In canon, Eri did not show up until the Internship Arc.
** Mei Hatsume made her debut in canon during the 2nd round of the sports festival. Here, she ends up making her introduction (among other things) sometime before the festival even begins.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In canon, Toga is a SerialKiller driven by unfettered bloodlust, and a loyal member of the League of Villains. Here, she's a U.A. student who genuinely wants to rein in her more violent impulses.
* AdaptationalJerkass: As detailed in AbusiveParents, Hisashi Midoriya gets this treatment here, and made even more apparent in chapter 23, where he mentally refers to Inko as both a bitch and a "worthless sow."

* AlmightyMom: All Might mentions that there are very few people he finds more terrifying than Inko Midoriya. She also stuns Endeavor during the parents-teachers conference when she explodes with rage at Himiko's parents.
--> '''All Might''': Young Midoriya, are you sure your mother wasn't a professional hero? I've been in rooms with ''trained interrogators'' that didn't scare me as much as that woman!

* AmbiguouslyBi: [[spoiler:Ochako. When Toga kisses her in Chapter 34, Ochako doesn't seem to mind much and even begins to kiss back before Miruko interrupts them. She's later shown gawking at Toga in a dress in Chapter 36, hinting that she finds Toga attractive.]]

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Hisashi Midoriya seems to be unable to see relationships in terms other than connections to further your own career. He thinks Izuku befriended Iida and Todoroki because of their ties to rich and popular Pro Heroes, and can't understand why would he waste his time befriending a girl from a blue collar family like Ochako.

* HateSink: Despite having only a single onscreen appearance by the time Izuku explains to Ochako why he doesn't live with him and Inko anymore, those two scenes were enough to cement Hisashi Midoriya as the most hated character of the fic (see AbusiveParents above for details). Every further appearance only makes it clearer that Izuku is far better having him away from home.

** Hisashi Midoriya will do anything to improve his standing in the world at the expense of Izuku and Inko. The only concern he had for Izuku after USJ was whether or not his injuries interfered with the pro heroes' rescue operations, and thus reflected badly on Hisashi. Even when Izuku showed signs of having a Quirk, all he cared about was for Izuku to become strong so he could later boast about it. [[spoiler:When he finds out about Izuku's progress in the Sports Festival, his first thought is that Inko hid Izuku's power from him to humiliate him to the Meta Liberation Army.]]

** Hisashi Midoriya takes the cake, though. Being a neglectful parent would be bad enough, but his internal monologue reveals he thinks little of Izuku beyond his Quirk and he's rather hateful towards Inko as well, calling her a "fat sow" who dared to go behind his back and hide Izuku's potential.

* KnifeNut: As per canon, this is Toga's main weapon, and [[WalkingArsenal she's got a lot of them]]. Those knives are sharp enough to dismember people in one slash.

* LegacyCharacter: Variation; when the fic cuts back to the present in Chapter 16, one of Eri's comments shows that Toga inherited the "R-Rated Heroine" tagline from Midnight.

* MagneticHero: Played with. Izuku spent most of his life having no friends, with Ochako being his OnlyFriend during the last year of Middle School. However, he does manage to make quite a lot of friends in his first week in U.A., much to his surprise. Shinso does mention that Izuku has a tendency to make friends by helping people who are in danger, as it happened with him, Iida, Toga, and Tsuyu.

* MoralityChain: Izuku is the main reason behind Toga wanting to be a hero and become a better person.

* NeverMyFault: Hisashi effectively abandoned his wife and child after presuming Izuku's Quirk to be weak and useless. When his superiors [[spoiler:at the MLA]] question him on why he didn't inform them of his powerful son, he blames Inko for not informing him and goes on an internal blue streak about how she's ugly, stupid, and has "humiliated" him, holding her entirely responsible for his lack of familiarity with their son despite the fact that it's his own fault he knows next to nothing about his family anymore.

* ObliviousToLove: Izuku is so naïve that he thinks Toga's obvious interest in him is just her being friendly, and he also misses the very obvious hints about Ochako being in love with him. Midnight almost trips over herself in shock when she sees for herself how oblivious Izuku is, and All Might has to hold back from laughing as he sees the two of them "flirt".

* PsychicNosebleed: Happens to Izuku if he overuses his Quirk, or pushes it to lift something heavier than his current limits.
* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: Izuku has been a victim of this for most of his life. The reason behind his Quirk being so weak was Bakugou's constant bullying destroying his self-esteem, as well as lack of use and too much pressure from his father. All Might realizes this and tricks Izuku into using his Quirk on items much heavier than they look in order to break his mental blocks.

* TookTheWifesName: Hisashi Midoriya is mentioned as having taken his wife's family name because his previous one had too much baggage. [[spoiler:Given how he is still heavily involved in the Meta Liberation Army, he likely changed it to avoid attention.]]
