AU where Inko is the number one villain and AFO is a stay at home dad!
Oh my friend you made a mistake: not specifying to me who AfO is the stay at home dad of :)
1- So, Inko is the greatest supervillain of all time. Hisashi, her fire-breathing right hand, is a himbo who thinks she deserves to be a dark empress. Izuku is their son who's largely kept away from villainy: he knows about it, but he doesn't like it, and since he's quirkless, both assume he's too weak to risk getting hurt. He isn't vaulted, but he doesn't have a lot of freedom either.
2- Izuku is still smart though, and goes to a very good school with a very good library, where he can use the computers without much restriction- and he's able to research rumors about a vigilante who can take or give quirks, sought after by both villains, heroes, and the government. He's thought to be a legend, but Izuku knows he's real- his dad once tried to bring him to his mom, like twenty years ago, but he slipped away with his extra quirks and vanished.
3- Anyway, also at this very good school, others attend- including Neito Monoma, who's something of a kindred spirit. Izuku wants to be a hero, and Neito knows they won't ever be mainline, top tenners standing alone- but he doesn't see any reason why Izuku couldn't be a supporting hero if he tries. Their friendship develops, and they end up working on a science project together where they analyze quirks. Izuku knows his parents won't be home yet (and there's a chance when they return, it'll be blood splattered) so they go to Neito's home after school to keep working.
4- Neito's dad is home, and calls to ask if they want any snacks. They would love some, and Neito loudly explains the project as he gets something ready. When he comes into the room, he sees Izuku and almost drops the snacks- because AfO remembers well how Inko and Hisashi looked back when they'd almost dragged him off. He recovers, and quickly leaves the room, which Neito thinks is weird because usually his dad would love this kind of stuff. Izuku, who's seen that reaction before, keeps quiet and doesn't tell Neito that his dad is probably a villain who's terrified of Izuku's parents.
5- He does sneak back to the kitchen though when Neito goes to the bathroom, and AfO is clutching a knife the entire time. Izuku apologizes and says he doesn't want to be a villain like his parents, so AfO doesn't need to worry about his family. AfO cautiously asks him what he does want, and Izuku says to be a hero. He knows there's someone out there who can give him a quirk, but it's a long shot, and Neito thinks he's got a chance at heroics without one (if not a great chance). AfO thinks about how he doesn't particularly want his son to be a hero, thinks about his little brother, and sighs. "Heroism comes from the unlikeliest places." He says, and tells Izuku, "I don't know about finding a vigilante who can give any quirk, but i do know one hero who can. How would you like to meet All Might?"
