These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

Author’s summary: WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer [[SubvertedTrope Use it to make all the other tools you need.]] Izuku's quirk is not suited for hero duty, anyone else could tell him. But Izuku isn't anyone else, so instead he [[{{Determinator}} sets about making it work anyway.]]

!!This fanfic provides examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass: Izuku. [[spoiler:Without anything but a backpack with some dumbbells inside, they break four of the sludge villain’s teeth, ''tear out an eyeball'', and then hold it ransom for Bakugo’s life.]]
** Uraraka’s shaping up to be this too, if her performance in the entrance exam is anything to go by.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Izuku is much more observant (noticing that something is odd about Uraraka’s quirk during their first meeting, as well as [[spoiler:realising that All Might has an injury before meeting him]]), as a result of spending so long analysing their own quirk.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Izuku. Their quirk gives them a hefty boost in confidence compared to canon, but they still tiptoe around Bakugo and mutter when their nerves get the best of them. They also identify as [[{{Transgender}} non-binary]] as a result of their [[GenderBender quirk]] and a load of time spent on the internet looking for help with said quirk.
** Both Izuku and Inko are more secretive than {{Canon}}. Izuku hiding their quirk, and Inko hiding that [[spoiler:she already knows about their quirk]].
* CombatPragmatist: Izuku shows shades of this versus the sludge villain, when they [[spoiler:break the villain’s teeth while he’s distracted, steal an eye and hold it for ransom.]] They also quickly realise that they can [[spoiler:team up with Uraraka during the entrance exams, bolstering each other’s quirks with their own]].
* Foreshadowing: Several have been made, but exactly ''what'' they’re foreshadowing isn’t clear just yet.
* ForWantOfANail: Izuku doesn’t get One for All, [[spoiler:gives All Might a way to retain his strength as a hero]], and the entrance exam goes very differently from {{Canon}}.
* GenderBender: A rare example where Izuku begins gender-swapping from a young age, and identifies as non-binary regardless of their current form.
* {{Hammerspace}}: Izuku has a limited one, with its size relying on how well they can visualise the objects they store. Anything light enough to carry can fit in there.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every chapter title so far is a single word relating to money in some way, such as ‘Investment’, ‘Charity’ and ‘Gamble’.
* PortalCut: Izuku can choose to send only part of an object to {{Hammerspace}}, resulting in this.
* InSpiteOfANail: Izuku still grows up wanting to be a hero, meets All Might, attempts to rescue Bakugo from the sludge villain and (presumably, given that the fic hasn’t gotten that far) gets into Class 1-A at UA.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: This is what makes Izuku’s quirk so great. They don’t carry injuries or exhaustion between forms so they can fight for twice as long; they can train each form differently to give themselves more options in a fight; they can store objects in {{Hammerspace}} as they switch forms (and after some practice, at will); PortalCut objects to craft weapons; teleport (though they haven’t figured that one out quite yet) and much more - all as a side-effect to their GenderBender quirk.
* SobriquetSexSwitch: After the meeting with All Might, Izuku begins referring to their female form as Izumi. When talking about themselves in general, they still use Izuku, however.
* StationsOfTheCanon: So far, has visited three of them: the meeting with All Might, the sludge villain incident, and the UA entrance exam. All three have played out very differently from {{Canon}}.
* SuperpowerLottery: Referenced in chapter 2:
-->Izuku didn't win the quirk lottery, Inko will readily admit. But when you can take two-thousand yen, invest it and get hundreds of millions in return, the lottery doesn't seem all that important anymore. And metaphorically, that's exactly what Izuku's done.
SwissArmySuperpower: Once more, Izuku’s quirk.
*WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Ironically averted, despite the name of the fanfic.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: According to the author’s comments, they identify as non-binary themselves.
