History Fanfic / HowEatingAStrangeFruitGaveMeMyQuirk

* AchievementsInIgnorance: During their match, Hitoshi fails to brainwash Denki, and realizes it's because Denki's brain is short circuiting, leaving him in his "whey" state. While he thinks Denki did this on purpose, it was more just Denki overexerting himself as usual rather than anything planned.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Kota says he hates heroes, Izuku asks him of that means he also hates his aunt and her friends, which stuns him.
* AscendedExtra: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. In canon, Kamui Woods would eventually become a major supporting character, but only post Kamino Ward and forming the Lurkers with Edgeshot and Mt. Lady, [[spoiler:the three of them in turn being let in on the secret of One For All while aiding Izuku in hunting down All For One.]] Here, he gets more focus as one of Izuku's mentors, initially striking a minor friendship with him following Izuku saving Bakugo, and being the one to take Izuku on as an intern instead of Gran Torino. He's also given a closer connection to the Iida family via Tensei, and in turn plays a role in the Hosu arc.

* BlatantLies: When a reporter asks Izuku what's it like to have All Might as a teacher, he claims to be a Business student to get them off his back. When it works, Momo, Itsuka and Ochako make similar lies. The reporter realises she's been had only ''after'' the kids make it through UA's gate.
* CapeSnag: A rocket once snagged on All Might's cape and would have choked him if he didn't manage to tear of his cape.

* DangerousPhlebotinumInteraction: Narrowly subverted, but Izuku inheriting One For All nearly killed him due to the souls of the previous wielders facing off against the Devil of the Gum-Gum Fruit. Turns out that the devil fruits are really jealous about their wielders and don't like it at all when new powers outside of what they can obtain on their own, like Haki, get introduced.

* DelayedReaction: [[spoiler:When Tsuyu confesses to Izuku that she, Itsuka, Momo and Ochako all have a crush on him and want to date him, Izuku goes "I see" before letting out a BigWhat as it sinks in]].

* DisabilityImmunity: When Denki's in his "whey" mode, Shinsou's Brainwash Quirk can't affect him since the parts of Denki's brain necessary for Shinsou's Quirk to take hold has short-circuited.

* EvilIsPetty: {{Zig zagged|Trope}}, since he's not ''evil'', just a massive asshole. After the Sports Festival, Endeavor barges in and forces an interview ''just'' so he can delegitimize Izuku's overall win and Bakugo's beating Shoto. He not only claims Izuku only won by luck, he has the gall to say everyone in Izuku's half of the block was ''weaker'' than those in Shoto's block and had to rely on "tricks" to fight, and that Bakugo only beat Shoto via ''technicality''. When the interviewer rightfully points out Izuku's takedown of the Zero Pointer and the speed he demonstrated in the cavalry battle, Endeavor derides Izuku as being a one-trick LightningBruiser that Shoto could have easily beaten. And as the Number 2 Hero, his word carries weight, so when he says this and adds on his decision to not send an offer to Izuku, not only does Izuku's ''7,324'' intership offers drop to ''10'', but ''everyone'' in the East block has their offers drop, the only exception being Itsuka since Endeavor makes it sound like Izuku cheated her out of a win.

* ForWantOfANail: All over the place. [[ForWantOfANail/HowEatingAStrangeFruitGaveMeMyQuirk Enough to have its own page.]]

* GreenEyedEpiphany: Invoked. [[spoiler:To see if he truly likes Itsuka, Momo, Ochako and Tsuyu in that way, Izuku tries picturing them with another man. When he feels pain just from imagining it, he realises that the answer is yes]].

* HateSink: ''[[AdaptationalJerkass Hisashi Midoriya]]''. While not physically abusive like Endeavor, Hisashi is a nasty piece of work who only cared about being Izuku's father once Izuku won the Sports Festival. He tries to convince Izuku to come live with him in England while claiming he loves him, when it's apparent to everyone he's nothing more than a GlorySeeker. It's gets to the point he starts shouting that he ''owns'' Izuku, and accuses Inko of lying about him being Quirkless and cheating on him, prompting [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness the normally meek Masaru]] to palm strike him in the face and send him flying with an explosion. To solidify how much of an asshole he is, he was all set to burn the Bakugo house and everyone in it, including a bunch of teenagers and his own son, to a crisp out of anger, only being stopped by Toshinori putting the fear of god into him. Even ''that'' wasn't enough initially, as he had planned on using his influence to ruin Izuku and Inko's lives for defying him, while ''maybe'' making Inko his mistress as punishment, only giving up upon realizing the man who terrified him was ''[[BullyingADragon freaking All Might]]''.

** [[spoiler:Inko, Mitsuki and Masaru learn Toshinori is All Might in Chapter 26]].
** All Might, Rekai and Gran Torino learn about Izuku dating several girls at once in Chapter 29.
** Izuku figures out his bodyguard for the US trip is Lady Nagant in Chapter 43.
* IntimateTelecommunications: Yui sends Iida a gif of her dressed in a tied up ribbon which she takes off in an arousing way.
* JerkassRealization: [[spoiler:Endeavour thinks he may have judged Izuku too quickly and have been unfairly biased against him when he did the interview when he saw Izuku's resolve against the Hero Killer and later his combat ability against himself during the Practical End-Of-Term Exams]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Because he's only a reserve student, most of the Hero course students haven't gotten to know Hitoshi or even realize what his Quirk is. So when Mashirao, Yuga, and Fumikage lament failing to warn Hanta about his Quirk, Tenya is initially surprised the rest of the class doesn't know, before quickly realizing only he, Izuku, Ochako, and Momo actually know due to bothering to ''ask'' him. Monoma, Sen, and Kosei likewise knew, but only because Monoma figured out on his own and asked Hitoshi to be in their team for the cavalry battle.

** After a lot of discussion, the girls that are into Izuku decide to share him. Momo and Itsuka also find themselves into each other and not just Izuku. Ochako and Tsuyu are also into each other after they discuss how they feel about each other.
** Nejire reveals that she, Mirio and Yuyu are dating each other during the UA Cultural Festival.
* PowerMisidentification: Those that don't know the truth about Izuku's rubber powers assume it is an ordinary Quirk, but it's not a Quirk at all.

* ShoutOut: One of the employees at the Tokyo Disneyland is a a hero who's Quirk lets them [[Franchise/KingdomHearts summon a giant key]].

* WrongContextMagic: Izuku's rubber powers are not a Quirk. In most situations, the distinction doesn't matter, but there are rare times when it does. [[spoiler:During the End-Of-Term Exams, Monoma is unable to copy it while Aizawa is unable to erase it]]. [[spoiler:The distinction also comes into play during the Kamino Arc, where due to the rubber powers not being a Quirk, Quirk Suppressant Cuffs don't work, and with careful layering of his Devil Fruit power with the Devil's help, it can shield Izuku's actual Quirk from the effects. This allows Izuku to catch All for One by surprise]].

* AdaptationalCurves: Inko still has her figure from Izuku's early childhood in this continuity due to Izuku overcoming his quirklessness much earlier, removing a key part of her stress that caused her to overeat. Any pudge se would gain from natural aging is reduced due to All Might gifting her his version of the Total Gym.
