Summary: Midoriya Izuka's journey to becoming the Number One Hero somehow led to her being the unofficial (?) ruler of the world. Hey, she's not complaining about the peace, she's just extremely confused as to how she got here. (Bakugou Katsuki would like to add that he knows exactly how they got here, Deku is just in extreme denial.)

AN: I'm keeping this as an omake because idk I think All Might would probably have judged her on more than her cuteness, no matter how cute Izuka might be. The serious consequences of his quirk (blowing up limbs? Targets painted on your back? hello?) probably wouldn't allow for anything else, and while he might be goofy and sort of clueless sometimes, All Might has spent a large amount of his life being a protector of society/ Symbol of Peace, and there's no way he wouldn't think through whether his successor is a good fit or not. Anyways, I really wanted to write this kind of thing anyways, so… Omake it is! (even though the whole point is that Izuka is literally too cute for words and wins everyone over with just a smile… and this is a crack fic… )
On the inheritance of One for All
"D-Do you think I can become a hero just like you even though my quirk isn't...exactly... suited for combat? Everyone other than Kacchan always tells me that I should just stay on the backlines, and even though I know where they're coming from… I want to be like you, saving everyone with a smile, bringing relief just by being there!"
All Might sighed. Honestly, he didn't want to crush his fan's dream, but he couldn't bear the thought of being the one to lead some innocent kid to their death.
"I'm quite flattered kid, but I don't know if you can ever be a combat hero -" All Might turned his head to look at Izuka in that moment, and it was his undoing. His words hadn't yet registered in her mind, so her face still had an impossibly bright and hopeful smile that somehow radiated sunlight. He spat out blood and unintentionally turned back into his normal form, having lost concentration on maintaining his hero form.
"I take it back everything I said. I also happen to have a solution! How do you feel about getting a second quirk?!"
"W-w-w-whAT DO YOU MEAN SECOND QUIRK AND WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU OHMYGODIKILLEDALLMIGHT-"
His phone rang in his pocket, and he reached for it absently with one hand, using his other to cover Izuka's mouth, ignoring her rapidly flailing limbs and wide eyes with a practiced ease.
"Give me a second, sorry." He answered the phone too filled with cheer from finding a successor to bother to look at the caller ID. Meanwhile, Izuka stood in front of him, comically frozen due because All Might was touching her and DID NO ONE ELSE REALIZE THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS?
"Hello, this is Yagi Toshinori speaking, how may I-"
"YOU CANNOT GIVE ONE FOR ALL TO SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN TO BE THE CUTEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN -" Just as cheerfully as he had answered the phone, he hung up, removing his hand from Izuka's mouth. Nighteye had always been too much of a worrywart, anyways.
In which All Might has found the perfect successor, Izuka is flabbergasted, and Nighteye is so done. (Later, Katsuki would gleefully rub his hands together at the thought of finally not being the only one the world screwed over due to said flabbergasted girl.)
AN: also I only realized afterwards what "touching her" might imply and I swear it was with the purest of meanings fanfiction has corrupted me and I'm so sorry
