History Fanfic / VerdantRevolution

** Setsuna calls herself Troth instead of Lizardy.

* AbusiveParents: As is the case in canon, Endeavor is guilty of this with his treatment of his children. Additionally, the parents of [[spoiler:Himiko Toga end up getting arrested for child abuse among other charges due to their treatment of Himiko]].

* ArtificialLimbs: In chapter 34, it is revealed that Izuku has been providing prototype versions of these to amputee patients at the hospital he works at. In the next chapter, [[spoiler:Ururaka]] decides that [[spoiler:she]] wants to get prosthetic [[spoiler:legs]] in order to return to U.A.

* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:Izuku]] becomes this to [[spoiler:Dabi]] before hiring him on as head of security for Moonlit Industries.

-> '''Izuku''': “I don’t lie. Manipulate, redirect, twist, and on occasion, I’ll outright not answer. But I don’t lie. So do not ask a question that you don’t want the answer to.”

–> [[spoiler:'''Ururaka''': "Why can't I feel my legs?!"]]

–> [[spoiler:'''Izuku''': “Oh, I’m going to kill him. That motherfucker dosed me.”]]

* WhatTheHellHero: A common theme in this fic is that heroes often don't take the time to really analyze a situation before intervening, making things worse in many cases. Of particular note is the reaction to All Might [[spoiler:giving Izuku One For All without his knowledge or consent, which is a blunder so bad Gran Torino gives All Might a severe beating for it]].

* CurbStompBattle: Handed out by Izuku to basically anyone foolish enough to attack him.

* FlatWhat: Izuku gives one of these the first time Hatsume mentions making babies.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Frequently happens when Izuku gets really pissed.

* HoldingOutForAHero: Discussed at length.
* HomeBase: Moonlit Industries serves as this for Izuku and Mei, as well as [[spoiler:Dabi and Himiko]].
* KnightInSourArmor: Izuku, full stop.
* MadScientist: Mei Hatsume, naturally. Izuku also qualifies, though he specializes in the biological disciplines whereas Mei is the expert on mechanical engineering.
* OhCrap: Happens with a fair degree of regularity, usually when Izuku decides to drop the mask.
->[[spoiler:Izuku]] gave him a wide smile now. [[spoiler:Dabi]] felt another chill run down his spine. There was a predator in this alley, and it wasn’t him.

* SecretKeeper [[spoiler:Mei]] has become this for Izuku.
* ShoutOut: Several so far:

* SuperStrength: Izuku has this, though not from a quirk. It's a result of [[spoiler:genetic modifications he recieved while in the other world.]]
* TearsOfJoy: Jiro shows these when Izuku and Mei make her a device that protects her [[SuperHearing quirk]] from [[SensoryOverload being overwhelmed]]. The fact that they care enough to help her out like this brings the tears.

** Izuku puts [[spoiler:Mei and Jiro]] through this in preparation for the U.A. entrance exam.

* WhatTheHellHero: A common theme in this fic is that heroes often don't take the time to really analyze a situation before intervening, making things worse in many cases. Of particular note is the reaction to All Might [[spoiler:giving Izuku One For All without his knowledge or consent]].

* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler:All For One is this when he and Kurogiri drop into Moonlit Industries to pay Izuku a visit]].
-> '''[[spoiler:All For One]]''' “I see that you know who I am, young man. I must say that I am surprised you would be so blunt with me.” The large man had taken one of the seats across from Izuku and crossed his hands on his left leg after laying it across his right. “But we can still have some decorum, no?”
* AgeLift: As in many other fics, U.A. is a university here instead of a high school.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Izuku does this at the police station after the robber from the coffee shop is arrested. He looks at a case board in [[spoiler:Naomasa's]] office and just about immediately deduces that the three cases being treated as separate incidents are all connected. This is also our first glance into what [[spoiler:Stain is up to]].
* BadassBoast: Izuku, naturally. A notable example from chapter 19 when he gives one to [[spoiler:''All For One'']] of all people:
-> “Let me make something clear for you right now, though. I have no interest in the feud you have going with the number one for some reason. I don’t even particularly care why. But if you come after ''one of my own''? I will make your life a living hell. I don’t have the qualms that normal heroes have. I will hunt and kill anyone and everyone that chooses to associate with you. I wonder. How will you explain to [[spoiler:Tomura]] in Hell why his last moments were him ''choking on his own blood''. Make an appointment like a normal person, and come with a proper business deal. For now however, last warning before I get impolite. ''Get out of my office''.”

* BerserkButton: There are a couple of things that will cause Izuku to drop the pretenses of just being a talented teenager. One of them is [[spoiler:child abuse, such as that perpetrated against Himiko Toga by her parents]]. Another is [[spoiler:attempting to rape a friend of his after being warned off of stalking said friend]].

-> '''Nezu''': “Oh, and Midoriya?” Midoriya looked up at him, clearly desperate to be left alone to get started. “The pages are double-sided.” Midoriya’s eyes went wide, and he snarled an inhuman sound before his head whipped down and he started writing faster than any of the other three could even keep up with.

* BadassBoast: Izuku, naturally. A notable example from chapter 19 when he gives one to [[spoiler:''One For All'']] of all people:

* SharpTeeth: Nezu is shown to have a mouth full of fangs in chapter 14.

He's still going to be a hero, but he also decides to start turning society on its head by pointing out the flaws beneath the shiny surface.
