Izuku Midoriya never got the chance to save Bakugo from the sludge villain and impress All Might. With his dream crushed, Izuku becomes bitter and angry. It also doesn't help that he faces discrimination at every turn.
All he ever wanted was to be appreciated, so when the villains are the ones to recognize his talents rather than the heroes, well, Izuku just can't resist. He might as well help those who actually want him around.
Mistakes were made, and now society must face a villain of their own making: Mastermind.
Wow wow wow. I listened to the podfic (audiobook) version of this book (narrated by RuneLore on Ao3). I do t usually like Villain AU’s but this one knocked it out of the park. I love Cloud’s writing in general honestly
