Fics like I Think I Can Manage

Based on a prompt from FreckledSunflowers: Quirkless Izuku never went to UA and never became a hero. After graduating from a mediocre high school he ends up moving to Fukuoka where he has a crappy job and his apartment is even worse but it does happen to be right under one of Hawks’ favorite flight paths to and from his agency so he gets to see the hero fly overhead at least once a day. Then one day a villain fight occurs and he ends up rescuing one of Hawks’ sidekicks, The Jet Black Hero, helping him take down a villain. (I don't stick to the prompt exactly but I sure am having fun :D) (In preparation for updates resuming, fic is currently being re-edited. Updates hopefully resume February 2026)
