2
3	A rewriting of the main series with some twists; Izuku is a girl, Izuka, and was born with a healing Quirk.
4
5	He had always pushed it to the back of his mind that he was in the wrong - especially when it came to him. He bullied him for a reason. A reason long forgotten but it was still a damn good reason to set those small sparks across his skin - to leave his existence on the smaller boy - to mark him as his…
6
7	But why had he forgotten this main detail to him?
8
9	Why had he forgotten that he was supposed to protect him… A promise long forgotten that started this whole damn trend between the two of them because in reality, she was Izuka Midoriya, a female, and not Izuku Midoriya, a male.

13	----
14	!Tropes contained in ''Hidden in Plain View''
15
16	* ADayInTheLimelight: The side series was developed to showcase moments that won't make it into the main series and feature other boys, primarily Todoroki and Kirishima, as Izuka's love interest.
17	* AffectionateNickname: Like in canon, "Deku" becomes one for Izuka.
18	** Kirishima very occasionally calls Izuka "babe."
19	* AngerBornOfWorry: Katsuki expressing his concern for Izuka is by yelling at her.
20	* BerserkButton: As noted under CrazyJealousGuy Katsuki does ''not'' like it when anyone else shows any interest in Izuka. Best shown during the Sports Festival when Neito and Shinsou both make comments about her and you get the impression that he might have actually tried killing them over it.
21	* BridalCarry: Todoroki carries Izuka this way during the USJ incident and Kirishima later holds her this way after the Cavalry Battle.
22	* BullyingADragon: Like in canon Neito decides to antagonize Katsuki during the cavalry battle but unlike in canon he also mocks him by saying that it would "be more pleasant" to speak with Izuka, aware that Bakugo does like her. That goes about as well as did in the source material for him.
23	* CannotSpitItOut: Katsuki, not even to himself for a while.
24	* CharacterDevelopment: Katsuki mellows around Izuka and humbles himself relatively quickly.
25	** Izuka is more confident and self-assured earlier than in canon, she even banters with and teases Katsuki by the USJ incident, where Izuku is still cautious around him in the manga.
26	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Izuka and Katsuki are crushing on each other big time.
27	* CombatMedic: Izuka has both One For All and a healing Quirk, she can only heal herself, however. [[spoiler: Come Chapter 11, she's able to heal others, too.]]
28	* CovertPervert: Katsuki and Kirishima both get flustered when hearing Izuka mumble about her hero costume being fanservice-y and possibly upping the amount of skin she shows; Kirishima tells her she wouldn't look bad if she did further it.
29	** In a side story, Katsuki trips and falls on Izuka, landing into MarshmallowHell in "a pair of breasts he would never admit to daydreaming about once or twice."
30	* CrazyJealousGuy: Katsuki does ''not'' react well to seeing anyone express the vaguest amount of interest in Izuka. It's usually PlayedForLaughs in the side series, however.
31	* DudeMagnet: Izuka.
32	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Katsuki's feelings for Izuka are jarringly apparent, not that he'll admit to it, or that Izuka notices.
33	--> '''Kirishima''': "It's kinda in your face obvious."
34	* FirstKiss: [[spoiler: The first side story reveals Izuka has hers with Kirishima.]]
35	* FreudianSlip: When Katsuki and Izuka see the girls in the cheerleading outfits during the Sports Festival, Izuka mentions she's glad she was able to avoid participating, Katsuki accidentally says out loud that it's a shame she isn't, as she'd be the best looking one out there.
36	* GenderFlip: Izuku is a girl named Izuka.
37	* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Inverted, Tomura becomes interested in Izuka due to her healing Quirk reversing the carnage he does with his own.
38	* JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: Katsuki.
39	* LadyLooksLikeADude: Izuka in Junior High, she had short hair, her body wasn't as developed, and she wore the boy's uniform due to a spelling mistake.
40	* LoveDodecahedron: Katsuki, Kirishima, and Todoroki all have feelings for Izuka, she returns Katsuki's feelings and has expressed interest in Kirishima in the main story.
41	* LoveInterests: Katsuki is this for Izuka in the main story, depending on the side story, it could be someone else.
42	* LuminescentBlush: Happens quite frequently with various characters, Izuka being the most common.
43	* MistakenForGay: While confused to be a boy in Junior High, Izuka was assumed to be gay by her classmates and Katsuki.
44	* NiceGuy: Kirishima, so much that readers began commenting that he worked himself to be a better love interest faster than Katsuki.
45	* ObliviousToLove: Izuka, despite how obvious it is, is unaware of Katsuki's feelings for her.
46	* PromotedToLoveInterest: Kirishima is one of Izuka's closest friends in the main story (with a developing crush on her and generous amounts of ShipTease), however, he has several side stories in the side series dedicated to if he was Izuka's love interest.
47	** Similar case for Todoroki.
48	* SecretKeeper: Katsuki bullying Izuka stemmed from a promise the two made to each other as children, however, over time, Katsuki forgot the exact details to the deal. When he asks Izuka about it, she's rightfully upset and refuses to tell him until he remembers on his own.
49	* ShipTease: Izuka has it with Katsuki, Todoroki, and Kirishima.
50	* ShipperOnDeck: A good portion of Class 1-A ships Izuka and Katsuki. Mitsuki and Inko additionally have been shipping their children since they were little.
51	* SirSwearsALot: Three guesses to who, especially done when flustered or angered.
52	* TomboyishPonytail: Izuka's main hairstyle post growing her hair out.
53	* VillainousCrush: Shigaraki develops one on Izuka after seeing her healing quirk undo the damage his quirk does. He becomes ''very'' fixated on the idea of having her with him because she won't "disappear" because of his quirk.
54	* [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Violently Protective Boyfriend]]: Katsuki.
