AU where Midoriya Izuku pursues a fashion degree after Heroics school because he won't DARE half-ass All Might fashion merch production once Yagi had made it known that he's thinking of passing the Mighty Agency down to him.
...But from the POV of outsiders.
Uni freshie: "Midoriya Izuku doing fashion school? Did he write 'fashion trend' on his shirt and call it a day?!"
Uni Deku stan: "He made an entire All Might-based collection for his thesis."
Uni freshie: "Wh-what? Ha. He probably stapled capes together and called it a mighty collage."
Uni Deku stan: "HE WOVE, DYED, HAND-EMBROIDERED EIGHT GOWNS, AND SAVED THE WORLD IN BETWEEN, YOU UNGRATEFUL BUFFOON—"
Uni freshie: "...Why is there a long line?"
Uni student 1: "Last year, someone convinced Deku to do individual fashion analysis and give fashion advice. The sign-ups always open on Fridays.
Uni student 1: "He's also the top of his class you know."
Uni freshie: "I'm gonna drop out."
Uni freshie: "HE CAN STRUT IN 5-INCH HEELS?!"
Uni student 1: "And 7-inch, and 8-inch. He does tests on heel samples for hero costume pitches made by his fellow students... Why are you so shocked? His balance is amazing! You must've watched how he did acrobatics on the Symbol of Fear, right?"
