Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_19b6f396	comment	Alternate Timeline: When Izuku and Destro prepare to send Destro back to his own time, Destro asks Izuku to come with him to the past to save him from being killed by the PLF. Because they were standing in the permissive paradox field, Izuku's indecision creates several realities: Timeline A: The base timeline, where Izuku strongly considers going with Destro, but eventually decides not to, feeling that he needs to see his own war through to the end, even if it's a bad one, and that no one has the right to play god by rewriting history. Destro accepts his decision and they part amicably, both wishing each other luck with their respective struggles. Destro disappears and Izuku runs as the roof of the lab begins to collapse. He eventually makes it back home and reunites with his friends and family. Timeline B: Izuku hesitates to take Destro's offer, feeling that he needs to ensure a Stable Time Loop is maintained and not wanting to abandon his friends and family, but Destro tells him to Screw Destiny and that he deserves better than to die at the PLF's hands, and that his friends would understand needing to survive. Convinced, Izuku frees Arashiro from her snowglobe prison, and he and Destro disappear together, which causes two divergent points compared to Timeline A: In the past, Izuku becomes General Fossa of the MLA, and with his help, the MLA wins the war and manage to build a world of liberation and equality, where people are free to use their Quirks in public, and no one is discriminated against for their Quirk, or lack of one. In this world that Fossa's actions created, a present-day Izuku receives a letter from his past self. In the timeline that Izuku left behind, the PLF war still ends, but everyone thinks that Izuku had died when the Citadel collapsed. Ten years later, it's implied that the hero system no longer exists and Katsuki has become a cop. He meets Arashiro, Izuku's old squad mate in the PLF, and they mourn their friend together.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_1cc527d7	comment	Asskicking Leads to Leadership: The more powerful a person's Quirk, the higher the rank they get in the Paranormal Liberation Front's military hierarchy. Izuku hates this part about them as it is a perfect representation of their toxic Quirk Supremacist beliefs since they don't consider anything else about a person when determining rank unlike the original Meta Liberation Army, specifically discussing the original Destro as an aversion since he was in charge not because of his powerful Meta Ability, but because he was a master orator, a naturally gifted strategist, and a good delegator.

Among other things, they conveniently forget to report that one of the original Meta Liberation Army generals condemns them.

Here, she has been radicalised and supports an outright terrorist hate group. While the Stain in canon was a Hero Killer, he still had some very valid complaints about the corrupt and broken hero system that idolized flashy heroes. In this story, Stain is similarly radicalized as Lady Nagant and joins the PLF, becoming Shigaraki's bodyguard.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: In canon, the Meta Liberation Army are barely mentioned, mostly serving as a platform to introduce the neo-MLA (later the Paranormal Liberation Front), and explain Re-Destro's motivations, and the only named member of the army was its leader, Destro. In this story, Destro and his Generals are the topic of much discussion and speculation, and Izuku having dreams about them gives a lot of insight into their personalities, goals, ideals, and actions. This is especially important because of the role two of the generals directly play in Izuku's life; All for One gave him Tripswitch's Quirk, and it was the former general Switcher who was responsible for his disappearance.

Although their teachers and other Pro Heroes try to protect them from it, it doesn't stop them from being frontline fighters and witnessing the many horrors of war, being forced to take lives, and having some amongst them dying. Katsuki tells Izuku in Chapter 89 that everyone in Class 1-A, save Todoroki and Shinsou, have been forced to kill, and that none of them are the same people they used to be.

A variation. Because of his dreams of the various MLA generals and having multiple memories that don't belong to him in his head, Izuku starts undergoing an identity crisis, wondering if he's even the real "Izuku Midoriya" or if he's actually an amnesiac Switcher or Bit Weasel in disguise. This comes in surprisingly handy when he and False Flag infiltrate the Shie Hassaikai base to dose the villains with quirk-repressing drugs. When Shin Nemoto uses his quirk to ask for Izuku's full, legal name, he's able to honestly answer with "Not sure", then throws Nemoto of his scent by using Bit Weasel's civilian name and claiming to possibly be a foreigner. This allows him to maintain his cover, and the infiltration and sabotage go successfully.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_2ae29c0d	comment	The Dreaded: Eraserhead terrifies the Paranormal Liberation Front soldiers. Their Quirk Supremacist beliefs result in them wrapping their entire identity and self-worth with their Quirk, which means that to them, Eraserhead who has the power to negate their Quirks has the power to destroy a huge part of their identity and what gives them their worth. War Dog, the triple-S ranked vigilante/villain that's made it her life's mission to brutally take down dangerous villains and corrupt officials, is this to every single person who sees her and lives to tell the tale. Considering that she's a extremely fast, extremely strong, bloodthirsty werewolf who can deal Wound That Will Not Heal and whose bite turns her victims into People Puppets, it's not surprising. Even Nagant has an Oh, Crap! moment when she sees that the werewolf has joined the heroes in the war against the PLF.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_3496b29a	comment	Heart Is an Awesome Power: Tripswitch had the ability to put anything, both living and non-living, into snow globes, and Izuku is later given this quirk by All For One. Some of the quirk's requirements (the user needing to be holding on to glass pieces or pebbles in order to form the snowglobe, physical contact with the target, and needing to focus on intensely possessive feelings) made it difficult to use in combat, but its true worth shines in espionage-related applications, allowing the user and accomplices to smuggle anyone or anything past security who wouldn't know what to look for. It's also very useful for transporting critically injured patients to a hospital since it prevents their injuries from worsening until they can receive medical care.

This is why Izuku destroying the Nomu lab is a huge blow to them.

He kept taking unusable dirt roads because his instincts told him to, even when the roads slow him down, and at one point his arm starts hurting for seemingly no reason. It turns out that what he thought were his instincts guiding him was actually a tenuous psychic link to War Dog, established when she first bit him, leading him to her, and his arm was aching because his scar was reacting to her presence. War Dog goes on to kill Stain to protect Izuku.

However, ultimately the worst villains and threats to peace have been wiped out or arrested, those remaining are able to reach an accord with the Chain and negotiate a peace treaty, and Izuku managed to reunite with his friends and family and finally has the closure he's been looking for since his disappearance, deciding to spend some time running Black Forest with Switcher.

Because Izuku is never even offered One for All, Nighteye has no reason to be hostile to Izuku and their relationship is a lot better, with Nighteye even bonding with him over their shared experience of receiving terrifying visions that they don't understand.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_8e20979	comment	Wham Episode: Chapter 43: When Izuku is brainwashed and knocked out by Shinso in the joint training, he recovers a memory of the day he was kidnapped... only to realize that it wasn't a kidnapping at all. His possessor outright asked him for his permission to use him in their mission, and he agreed because his suicidal depression made him value his own life so little that he didn't mind the idea of dying for a good cause. Izuku wakes up shocked and horrified by this. Chapter 50 is a big one. Izuku discovers, through Monoma's Copy quirk, that he's had a quirk all this time. More specifically, he has Tripswitch's original quirk, taken from her by All For One and given to Hirano Niko, and the whole reason his possessor was hunting for All For One in the first place. Chapter 54: Nedzu, Aizawa, and Tsukauchi finally find out that Izuku's Quirk originally belonged to Tripswitch and that Izuku has the MLA leaders' memories in his head when the four confront All For One in Tartarus. As Izuku is being escorted out, he runs into the neo-MLA group, which includes Dabi, attempting to break certain villains out of prison. Continuing from this in Chapter 55, Izuku fights to stay alive and prevent the villains from freeing prisoners. He succeeds in killing Moonfish and the heroes and guards stop the PLF from reaching All For One, but Hawks is freed and escapes with the villains, and Nedzu notes that things are going to escalate from here. Chapter 64 deals with the Battle of Gunga Mountain. By the end, Tokoyami, Dabi, and Hawks have been killed, the latter dying with a cryptic message to Izuku, Katsuki is badly injured, and Izuku is taken by the HPSC, clearly to be disappeared into a black site. Chapter 66, Izuku changes his appearance with the Face Fixer's help and successfully infiltrates the PLF when they start recruiting from the prison he was held in. Chapter 80 is a doozy. Izuku frees Dark Shadow and the other Nomus for them to rampage, providing cover for Izuku to set a fire to the labs. The end result is that the Paranormal Liberation Front lost the lab, many personnel, including Re-Destro, die, and the PLF overall suffer a huge strategic loss. Chapter 83 manages to be a huge wham. It turns out the machine Garaki was working on is a Time Travel machine, and he and Shigaraki were trying to bring All for One back. Izuku manages to stop them, and instead brings Destro to his time. Chapter 84 continues from the last, where Destro and Shigaraki have an epic showdown, ending with the leader of the MLA killing the leader of the PLF once and for all.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Katsuki mentions that during his internship with Best Jeanist, he spent a lot of time reading a history book about the MLA, and Best Jeanist had commented that some of the details in the book, like the description of General Fractal's quirk, was wrong (Fractal is actually quirkless). This insider knowledge comes from the fact that Best Jeanist was formerly a resident of the Rebel Isles, the country founded by former general Switcher. One of the key pieces foreshadowing Hawks faked his murder of Best Jeanist is his cryptic message to Izuku that he is sorry, but not for everything Izuku thinks he did. One of Izuku's inherited memories shows Destro briefly disappearing seemingly into thin air during a trip to a bowling alley. That's because Izuku used Shigaraki's Time Travel device to pull Destro into his time. It's brought up at least once that some undercover heroes have covers so deep that most people think they're actually outright villains. War Dog turns out to be one such deep cover Hero.

The grief of coming back to life without his partner and the guilt of getting him killed in the first place, not to mention the horror of undergoing the Nomu experiments and Shigaraki taunting him about Tokoyami's and Izuku's (assumed in the latter's case) deaths, drives the sentient Quirk mad, and by the time Izuku finds him in the labs for failed Nomu, all he wants is to make those who took his Fumikage from him pay. After Izuku frees him, Dark Shadow rampages across the PLF stronghold in a complete Unstoppable Rage, killing any soldiers he can find and causing untold amounts of damage. It culminates when he kills Re-Destro and faces off with Shigaraki, telling the PLF leader that he's not the only vengeful ghost who'll come for the villain's head. Dark Shadow dies at Shigaraki's hands, but not before managing to severely damage the PLF's stronghold and their cause.

He is born Quirkless, which relegates him to being marginalised if not outright abused. Then his disappearance happened and the guilt causes the people around him to treat him better and an actual hero tells him that he too can become one. Then Stain tries to kill him. And then, he gets saved by False Flag. He then gets accused of sympathising with the Paranormal Liberation Front and wrongfully imprisoned, which turns into the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the PLF when they attack the prison and look for recruits. But as a lone agent, he is limited in what he can do and even attacked by his side who believes him dead. But then, he manages to re-establish contact through False Flag, who helps him do a lot more damage than he already was to the PLF. Nagant discovers that he's a spy, but he manages to kill her and dispose of her body before she could take him in. In the Citadel (the PLF's base), Izuku witnesses horrifying nomufication experiments being done to those captured by the PLF, but he's able to free the "failed" Nomu and have them rampage across the Citadel, dealing a huge blow to the PLF. He's then faced with the terrifying prospect of Shigaraki and Garaki bringing All for One back to life using a time-travel device but is able to hijack the process to bring back Destro instead. After Destro kills Shigaraki, Izuku is outed as a spy and traitor, hunted down by the PLF, and almost killed by Stain, but War Dog shows up just in time and saves him.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_eb81c601	comment	Big Damn Heroes: Both Best Jeanist and War Dog pull this during the Battle of U.A, with their timely intervention stopping Shigaraki and Nagant respectively from murdering the heroes that were holding them back and changing the tide of the battle. In Chapter 86, War Dog pulls this again, saving Izuku from Stain and ending the Hero Killer once and for all.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_ec0ce986	comment	Spotting the Thread: Arashiro Haruka sniffs out Izuku as a spy because she decided to join him at the theatre and he wasn't there, so when he later lied about it to their superior, she became suspicious.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_ecf76ce6	comment	Decapitated Army: Downplayed. While Shigaraki's death at Destro's hands went a long way in destabilizing the PLF forces and eventually bringing the war to an end, it wouldn't have been possible, or at least would have been much harder, without Destro himself telling the PLF soldiers that he disapproves of their choices, causing many of them to switch sides, and Magne taking over the remains of the PLF and declaring a ceasefire with the Chain, even arresting those who tried to continue the war, like Toga.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_f1d6144a	comment	War Is Hell: When Japan descends into a Civil War, the story makes sure to show what a terrible experience it is for pretty much everyone involved, especially children. Izuku and Katsuki discuss how it traumatised and changed them and their classmates.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_f2c895f	comment	Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: One of Izuku's dreams of the MLA shows Switcher and Bit Weasel discussing this. While both of them believe that their cause is justified and that they wouldn't be able to live with themselves if they stopped fighting, they acknowledge that the line between "revolutionary" and "traitor" is very blurry.

Sorting out her true allegiance in the middle of the Meta Liberation War was a bit of a headache for intelligence operatives on all sides.

Switchblade (Fanfic) / int_fff371b4	comment	Death Seeker: Izuku discovers that he used to be suicidally depressed before his disappearance, to the point where he was seriously considering taking Katsuki's "advice". It's why he was so willing to let his possessor use him for their mission because he felt like he had nothing to lose and this way he'd at least have a "death worthy of respect" should their mission fail. He's horrified to discover this about himself in the present day, calling himself stupid for ever wanting to throw his life away.
