Summary: The one where Izuku has a quirk but doesn't aspire to be a hero. He ends up one anyway.
Midoriya Izuku was born with the singing voice that was bright and clear.
Izuku, like all children wanted to grow up to be a hero. But then his mother took him to a musical, and his goals changed. A hero was wonderful and awe inspiring, but a singer, and IDOL brought smiles to the people who heard them. And idol could sweep people away into a new world, where the heroes were brief and fleeting. This he believed, and he knew it was even truer than the hairs on his head after he met #2 Hero, Endeavor, face to face when he was eleven. The Flame Hero made a less than stellar impression. Heroes could tarnish. They could be faked. But Idols. Idols were obviously flawed, they were human, and where the comfort of a hero was limited, the comfort of an idol was forever. Izuku wanted to be an Idol. Then he met Yagi-san, the man his mother was dating. And when they learned that Yagi-san was All Might, and Izuku sang to keep him awake while Recovery Girl worked on him, they found out that his quirk has a lot of... ahem... Interesting.... effects on people and their quirks .
"You have an excellent quirk. You would make a fine hero."
"That's flattering, but I don't want to be a hero. I just want to make people smile when I sing."
"You can do that as a hero also."
"As what? A singing hero? No offense, but singing doesn't a hero make."
"Heroes are not all flashy quirks. It's a shame that is what society these days is on the flashy things. But I will make a deal with you. I'll recommend you for UA. Just take the entrance exam. You don't have to stay in the Heroics Department if you don't want to even if you pass. You can transfer out at the end of the semester. I will support your choice."
".... Fine. One semester."
"One semester."
Yamada Hizashi was practically in love with one of his best friend's students. Kid had a singing voice like an angel. It also had a tendency to enhance the power of a quirk. He wanted to mentor the kid, hone that voice into something glorious. But All Might hovered over the kid like a giant overprotective papa bear. And Shota had somehow gotten it into his head that Hizashi had less than pure intentions toward the kid. He didn't! He just wanted to hone the kid's voice. He wanted to make that kid's voice RING out loud and clear. It didn't matter that the kid's voice could topple villains or enhance the strength and potency of a quirk. Hizashi wanted to hone the kid's voice and hear him SING.
Once upon a time there was a boy who wanted to be a Hero.
As he grew older, he wanted to be an Idol.
Yuuei saw no reason why he couldn't be both.
