A quick snack for the Midoriyas note
So here's the thing. Midoriya Izuku and his mother, Midoriya Inko, are not human. They're what popular culture would call Vampires.
Bloodstained Heroes of Humanity
is a My Hero Academia fanfic by Unoutan.
Midoriya Izuku was born a vampire to his also vampire mother Midoriya Inko. He and his mother live alongside humanity as Izuku grows up and attends school with the help of Inko's friend, Sumi.
Unfortunately unlike the majority of humanity, vampires don't get powers until they reach their 100th birthday if they're lucky much to Izuku's heartbreak. Regardless of the human kids' cruelty to him, Izuku believes that he can become a hero!
