For the ask game, please! Gray and Donald used to be childhood friends but Gray moved away. They meet in canon, Donald is convinced that Gray is pretending not to know him, while Gray doesn't recognize his smol childhood friend in the tall fully-body-tattooed spikey-haired gang leader that is messing his school life.

Oooo a fun one.

Donald and Gray grew up in the same orphanage after a tragic parent killing plague left many orphans. They both had trouble fitting in with the other kids, and Donald was sickly so Gray always protected him. One day Donald stole some food for them to eat and they got caught. Gray got blamed too even though he didn't know the food was stolen. Both were sent to separate juvenile delinquent facilities, and because they had no phone access they lost touch.

After getting out of the juvenile delinquent center, Donald changed his name to avoid his criminal past. He briefly checked up on Gray but didn't make contact. Gray was Donald's first love, and Donald has this dream of showing up before him as a successful man who can take care of him from now on. This is also because Donald feels horribly guilty about getting Gray sent to juvie and fears to see him again unless he has something to offer.

Donald is very upset when he realizes that Gray is not acknowledging him. (Because this is confirmation of all his worst fears that Gray blames him. Because deep down he thinks Gray should blame him, Donald fails to take into account how much he's physically changed and how he's using a different name now.) Donald arranges things like math competitions as gifts for Gray to win him back.

Meanwhile Gray has been spending years desperately searching for his childhood friend. Gray's childhood friend was very weak and fragile. Gray is very worried about him. He's recruited the gang to help him out on his search. Everyone believes that Gray's long-lost friend is a shy, nerdy frail bishounen.

Donald starts dropping hints about their past around Gray and Gray misinterprets that Donald is threatening his sweet, weak childhood friend. Gray nearly kills Donald before he reveals the truth. +1 Gray shows up at the final battle armed with childhood pictures of Donald as a sickly skinny boy with braces. Gray also threatens to reveal Donald's embarrassing childhood stories. Donald decides he doesn't need Eunjang in the Union after all and apologizes to Eugene.

For the ask game:

Izuku is caught in a situation where he must pretend to be one of the many villains on the location.

1 - Okay hear me out. This is a Suspected Traitor Izuku where the HPSC threw Izuku into Tartarus when the rest of UA was distracted by something else. Before Nedzu, All Might and everyone in class A got the time to march on Tartarus to free Izuku, Izuku's red sneakers unfortunately touched the ground of Tartarus, triggering his hidden chaos-magnet quirk and the biggest and bloodiest prison break out that ever happened ensued. The bridge was blown up, though, so all the prisoners are trapped in there.

2 - Since Izuku very much wants to live, he doesn't admit that he is an (innocent) hero student. But since he happens to be an angel-faced teenager on an island full of villains, said villains are starting to walk towards him. "Are you really a villain?" they ask. "Absolutely!" Izuku answers. "A terrible villain who definitely deserves to be here." "... We don't believe you," say the villains.

3 - The vestiges, in a fit of parental protectiveness, yells "YEET!" and Izuku activates all of their quirks at once. People immediately freak out because of the multiple quirks. Izuku, inspired by his sheer will to survive, declares that he is All for One.

"That's not possible! He's too young!"

"Yeah, I got deaged in a quirk accident. It can happens to anyone."

"He has a point! I recognize those curls!"

"And I recognize those freckles!"

"Hey, Small for One! What does it feel like to get your ass beat in live television by a half dead Symbol of Peace! He looks so pathetic! I am actually embarrassed for-"

*cue Izuku beating the crap out of that villain because no one insults All Might in front of him. Between the death aura and the sheer brutality, everyone is convinced that he is indeed AFO*

4 - Izuku becomes a medical miracle because during this whole thing, his blood pressure is so high he should be dead. Nagant guessed that he wasn't AFO. Stain and Chisaki are both aware he is a villain student. He has to maintain peace and keeps the guards alive. AFO, who should be around here, is nowhere to be seen and since Chisaki is now quirkless, there is a supervillain loose in the prison, and no one knows what he looks like.

5 - There is an hostage negotiation where All Might is called as the negotiator even if he keeps telling people that he is the last person who should talk to AFO. He picks up the phone anyway. His boy, who is absolutely chewing the scenery at this point, is the one speaking. All Might immediately also becomes a medical marvel as his blood pressure reaches heights never reached before in the history of humanity.

+1 - While the heroes are distracted with the whole Tartarus situation and trying to get Izuku out, Inko has made her way to the HPSC president. She has a slipper in hand. Not even Hawks could save the President now and to be honest, he didn't even try.

I hope you have fun with this 5+ headcanon ask, an AU where Izuku is born with your Life Drain quirk.

1 - Inko almost dies while delivering Izuku so his quirk is discovered quickly. The hospital starts to make noise about isolating the baby somewhere so he doesn't endanger anyone in the nursery but Hisashi calmly advise them to be quiet and keeps his son with him, thank you very much.

2 - Life Drain allows Izuku to drain people of their energy in order to heal/be stronger. If he is injured, with a lot of effort, he can hold on using his quirk, but he will have to heal. It also affects everything/everyone close to him, which makes wonders for his social life. In order to appease people's worries, he wears gloves. It's one giant bluff because he doesn't need to touch people to use his quirk. (However, touching someone is the only way for him to drain a specific target.) He can't redirect the flow of energy and heal someone. It's a quirk perfectly suited to keep him and only him alive.

3 - Izuku isn't bullied because one simply does not bully someone who could put you on a tee-shirt. People do avoid him, though. The only exception to both of those statements is Katsuki, who takes offense in how Izuku does his best to appear harmless and "one of the good ones", calling him a hypocrite on several occasions. There is also the fact no one in his class is comfortable with the idea of him being a hero because they think his power makes him a liability in the field.

4 - The Sludge villain doesn't make it in this AU because from the moment he starts to push down Izuku's internal organ, Life Drain goes "WHEEE!" and All Might shows up to see a panicked teenager pushing down the body of a dead sludge villain in the sewers. That's one hell of a first impression but All Might reminds him that he did that in self defense as he was about to be killed, accepts not to reveal what happened to the Sludge, and keeps an eye on him to make sure he gets psychological help. I don't think it's an AU where Izuku gets OFA because Life Drain is already way too powerful on its own.

5 - In this AU, I would be more interested in showing the bias that come with dangerous or scary quirks. Yes, every quirk is supposedly accepted but people with "villainous" quirk kinda have to put on the persona and make sure not to be perceived as threatening in order not to worry "the others". Also, obviously, I would terrify people with those moments where Izuku shows the depths of his anger.

+ 1 - The Todoroki/Midoriya match would be so humbling because Todoroki would take one step on the ring then drops to the ground, suddenly exhausted.

+ 2 - You know All for One is living his best life with his son who has a quirk that makes him easily ostracized but also... Izuku can't die. It's like an in-built vault!

You know who would be absolutely PISSED as ALL HELL about this whole traitor debacle? STAIN. He literally pierced a lung saving this kid’s life bc the fakers around him were too incompetent to act, and NOW, this boy, the one who he’d declared to be worthy of growing up into a hero, was being attacked and betrayed by the “heroes” around him who had once again failed to protect him, and now he might not even become a hero at all. He’s just sitting in his cell foaming at the mouth at this mess.

Stain astral projects from Tartarus and into UA through sheer rage and yells at society from here. 

UA finally accepts that they fucked up because what’s left to do when you have the ghost of an (alive) serial killer screaming at you?

Dead on main au where

1. Danny wears a 1/2 face mask as a ghost to make sure his parents don’t find out who he is

2. The decision to start wearing the mask was a spontaneous thing that happened at school and he stole the mask from his high school’s theater department

3. Danny moves to Gotham as soon as he turns 18 on a scholarship but it doesn’t include dorm fees.

4. Danny hides out in an abandoned theater (the attic is surprisingly well insulated!!!!) and spends most of his time there as a ghost because he can’t anywhere else in Gotham.

5. An injured Red hood limps his way into one of his favorite old hideouts (the theater obviously), and promptly passes out from blood loss with the hazy image of a masked glowing spector as the last thing he sees.

6. He wakes up enough to hear soft reassurances of safety and feel cool hands carry him with no noticeable strain.

7. Jason comes to in a giant nest of blankets with his wound neatly stitched up, a killer headache, and a sticky note wishing him well/ promising the writer didn’t leak under the helmet (a fact Jason is well aware of considering his head is very much unexploded)

8. Jason tries to leave but he passes out again and is honestly too tired to try again when he comes back around. So he just…falls asleep.

9. Jason wakes up again to warm food on an old silver tray and an empty room, not knowing Danny is watching him from the corner to make sure he doesn’t fall again. Not that Danny wouldn’t catch him again, but he’d prefer it didn’t happen at all.

In short, Danny plays elusive nurse to the dangerous red hood while Jason sees a literal ghost that lives in an abandoned theater wearing a phantom of the opera mask and decides he’s found a keeper. Clearly he appreciates the drama.
