This isn't the type of story that you would expect.

In a world filled with quirks, it's no question that happy endings are guaranteed. People will fulfill their dreams, they find their one true love, they become a symbol of justice to all. There are kind-hearted people all around, and symbols of peace are here to protect us from the little evil on this planet. Life is carefree. Joyful. Peaceful. But, that wouldn't be a very good story, would it?

This story may seem happy, but will it end that way?

Humans are selfish creatures. They will kill, invade, destroy if it was for survival, or for their own good. Feelings are manipulated, friends are torn, lovers are broken. The evil that lurks so deep in the shadows could loom over us at any moment. And they know what will destroy who you are.

Not able to save someone so close to you.

Trying to win an impossible battle.

Knowing that your happiness is the cause of someone else's despair.

Being unable to accomplish your own dream.

Despair lurks. It waits for the correct moment to catch its prey, and it will break us from the inside. Betrayal lurks. Waiting for the moment to stab you in the back. Destiny lurks. It shows you that choices will not change anything, and death is inevitable.

Is that really it?

Would you be willing to ruin your future for another's?

Would you sacrifice your destiny, for the sake of the greater good?

Will good prevail in the end?

The battle may be won, but the war may be lost.

In this story, I will take characters that we know and love so much, and change them. If Destiny or Fate had different plans for little Izuku Midoriya, would the outcome of the anime we enjoy so much be affected? I will divert him from the path he was meant to take, and watch as that one difference could affect the lives of thousands, or even millions. If Izuku Midoriya was turned into a girl, what ripples in fate could that one incident cause?

Ripples that affect the life and death of others, of relationships, of family and friends. Who once was a friend could become an enemy, and the lives of the people that were meant to live will fade away.

The main character in a story is guaranteed a happy ending, but does that mean everyone around them gets one too?

What do you want?

Do you want them to have a happy ending? Is that what you truly desire?

Or, do you wish for them to despair? For them to completely shatter?

People are fragile. On the outside, we are all the same. Human. Regular everyday people, with different interlaced paths that Fate has laid out for us. We choose who we to be, who we want to become friends with, who to love. We choose how we treat others, how we think about humanity, how we live. But, to see who we truly are-

We must break.

This is the story of Izumi Midoriya, the Greatest Hero.
