* TheUnmasking: When Izuku accidentally losing full control of his quirk in the Tournament Arc, gravity is cancelled out in the entire stadium. This brings up various concerns, as not only did everyone in the stadium witness first hand Izuku's raw power, but by extension the rest of the world through broadcasting. This is seen as a problem, as Izuku's mother, All Might, [=UA=] and by extension the entire Japanese government has been trying to keep Izuku's power a secret for fear of any villain wanting to use his powers despite having grown up to defend himself. At best, he would be seen as nothing more than an asset like all other celebrities, at worst other governments would see him as a weapon of mass destruction.

He then spends the awards ceremony chained to a post, not because he had an easy victory like in the source material, but because he feels like he needs to be there for Izuku.

''Waiting is worth it'' is a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfic written by Wikikid.

Izuku, believed to be quirkless, manifests his quirk at the moment when he becomes paralyzed from the waist down, possessing incredibly powerful Telekinetic abilities. Ridden with guilt, Bakugo dedicates himself to making life easier for him. Years later, both apply for [=UA=] and their trials to become heroes have just begun.

The fanfic can be found on both Website/FanFictionDotNet [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12324855/1/Waiting-is-worth-it here]] and Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9136840/chapters/20761669 here]].

----
!!This fanfic provides examples of:
* AbledInTheAdaptation: Aside from the obvious (Izuku becoming handicapped), it is mentioned that Shota Aizawa was partially blind in his youth while Hizashi Yamada had hearing difficulties. Disabilities due to one's own quirk seem to be more common that one thinks, with [=UA=] having a program to helping their students with these problems.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While still more pragmatic than likable like his canon counterpart, Aizawa goes easy on Izuku for not having records, sympathizing with him [[spoiler:since he too was a student with physical disabilities]].
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the original series, Izuku was born quirkiness but is given "One For All" by All Might. Here, he possessed the dormant source quirk "[[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]]." All Might even considered giving "One For All" to Izuku in this continuity also, but decided that Izuku would make a great enough hero without it.

Whether he does or not depends on who’s reading.

* BodyguardCrush: Toshinori/[[spoiler:All Might]] volunteered to act as protection for the Midoriya family when villains started targeting Izuku for his powerful quirk. Overtime he and Izuku's mother Inko began dating where they would eventually marry.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: When Izuku finally recognizes Aizawa, he becomes paralyzed with terror. He knows that Aizawa's quirk is to be able to rob others of their quirks, and as someone who relies on his quirk to maintain a slim facade of normalcy (like going anywhere without his wheelchair or telekinetically cooking and cleaning around the house), this horrifying possibility nearly reduces Izuku to tears.
* DisabilitySuperpower: With his quirk, Izuku is able to float around without needing his wheelchair. Thankfully, he has the proper permit so that he could do this in public without getting arrested due to quirk regulations.
* HeWasRightThereAllAlong: Izuku's (and later Bakugo's) reactions to finding out that [[spoiler:Toshinori - the man who has been dating and later marries Izuku's mother - was in fact their idol and No. 1 hero All Might]] defies proper description ("amazed and freaked out" come to mind, though).
* HomoeroticSubtext: Bakugo's overprotectiveness over Izuku and Izuku’s emotional dependence on Bakugo in-turn has led to a lot of people - from Izuku's mother to Uraraka - to assume that the two are together. Bakugo denies it of course, and Izuku has no idea what they’re talking about.
* MistakenForTerrorist: When Izuku’s quirk first manifest (everything in the park not bolted down lifting several feet off of the ground) it is briefly mistaken for a villain attack by random park-goers.
* ParentalAbandonment: Izuku’s father [[IHaveNoSon left his son and wife when the doctor tells them that Izuku was quirkless]]. [[spoiler:Later, it is implied that he may have ''also'' had a source quirk, may have been [[DomesticAbuse abusive to Inko]] and [[ArchnemesisDad could even be a villain]]!]]
* PathOfMostResistance: Izuku is given the option to get into [=UA=] on Toshinori's recommendation, allowing him to skip the entrance exam all together. Feeling like this would be unfair to all of the other applicants, he decides to forgo this and take the exam instead. Not only does he get in anyway, but this allows him to show off his raw power.
* PsychicNosebleed: After Izuku was able to obliterate the giant robot in the entrance exam, he tries using his quirk to float himself to safety when he starts falling, only to be met with a sharp pain in his head. This strongly implies that even his abilities has a limit and can take a toll on him physically.
* SuperpowerLottery: Izuku's quirk "[[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]]" is a source quirk (a super powerful quirk mostly seen when quirks first manifested that all other similar quirks are just watered down variations of) capable of causing mass devastation if mishandled. Because of this, proper authorities have gone out of their way to keep it a secret for fear of villains who would kidnap him and use his powers for evil.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Izuku's quirk awakens when he [[spoiler:falls and breaks his back, crippling himself for life.]]
* WheelchairWoobie: Izuku. Definitely Izuku.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: When Izuku calls [[spoiler:Toshinori]] "dad" for the first time, he is so surprised by this that he suddenly [[spoiler:spits up blood onto the windshield and almost crashes the car]]. Thankfully Izuku's quirk prevents any serious damage or injuries.
