“The Commission has acquired a permanent quirk-erasing drug, through means which are unfortunately classified,” Mera said. “There is nothing that can change our present. We’re hoping, however, that with your cooperation there will be a world in which Touya does not grow up to help bring about the downfall of Japan.”

She didn’t want to cooperate. She was just a teacher, somebody entirely removed from the world of heroics and covert, middle-of-the-night operations. As she looked at each of the HPSC agents surrounding her, however, their eyes were cold and distant. This was just another mission to them. If she didn’t do this, they would send somebody back in her place and they would hurt her brother for crimes he hadn’t yet committed. “I’ll do it,” she said with certainty she did not feel.

-

All Fuyumi has ever wanted is the ability to change her family’s past, to take away the pain and grief that each of them has been forced to carry. WIth the assistance of the HPSC and a time travel quirk, she finally has the power to do something. She can ensure that some version of her family out there has the happy life she’s always dreamed of.

The only thing standing in her way is Touya’s quirk.

I've been working on this one for a very long time so I hope people enjoy it :)

I use an oc in the fic but don't explain much about her so a little info under the cut! not much

Her full name is Yunami Sakiko, Yunami (行並) spelled with the kanji for parallel world but reversed, and Sakiko (往去) spelled with the characters for travel and past.

She's a day shift manager at an office max or something and is working with the hpsc only because she once accidentally used her quirk on a rude customer and the commission said that if she agreed to help them with the occasional mission they wouldn't prosecute her for it

After one too many repeat injuries, UA puts a policy in place to alert parents every time their child is hurt at school. This changes nothing for Momo, until it does.

Good thing she has first aid certification.

He’s All Might, for crying out loud. The scared, angry, always hurting child he used to be has been gone longer than he existed. He fights villains with a smile, and he never, ever thinks about Shimura Nana. He thought he was doing better. He is better. So why now?

Natsuo is tired of being invisible. He’s tired of his accomplishments being ignored time and time again. What else is there to do but run away? If his family cares, they’ll come find him.

His family doesn’t find him.

Someone else does.

“Don’t tell me you pay full price for drinks in Chelsea? Cushy archivist salary treating you that well?”

“No, nothing like that. It’s just, ah. It’s been a while since I’ve been out.” And it really had been, hadn’t it? He was struggling to remember the last time he had really taken the time to properly socialize outside of work. Hm.
