Summary
If they wouldn’t give him a chance then the solution seemed simple, he’d give himself one. He’d force the world to see him, force them to recognize his hard work. He wasn’t missing a quirk, it was simply that everyone else had been given an advantage. He wasn’t broken, or useless, or incapable, and he’d prove it by outrunning all of them, he who was quirkless, he who had started in last.[UA rejects Midoriya from the hero course and he finds salvation in vigilantism.]

Pied piper was, and will forever be my favorite fanfic. I’ve been reading it for 3 years now, and it’s been there, constant. It was always the fic i’d look to when i thought of a comfort fic, always the fic i’d recommend when someone asked for a good vigilante Izuku fanfic. I’m so happy i was able to be here along this journey and read this fanfic. It’s definitely left an impact, and as I said before; Books end, But stories live on. This story will forvever be one in my heart and one I’ll cherish. I love it wholeheartedly, and I’m so happy to have been able to contribute some, even if it was just a piece of fanart on the end chapter, a bookmark of a fanfic, a kudos, commenting. Thank you for sharing this story and allowing us to all be apart of it. I won’t ever forget it. Thank you, for being my favorite author, creating my favorite fanfic, thank you for everything. Signing off the comments for the last time, Thank you. 💜
Goodbye Piper,I don't even remember when I first found this story. I think it was somewhere between chapters 25 and 35, but I can't believe how much has changed since then. This was and continues to be my favorite fic in the bnha fandom. I'm so glad that I was able to read this fic and see it completed after all this time.
Even though I've moved on from bnha, I've been holding onto this fic with everything I have. Every time I saw Blackholeca appear in my inbox it made my day. You created one of my favorite versions of Midoriya and by far my favorite OC out of any fic I've ever read. Your storytelling is unmatched and you tugged on my heartstrings every update.
I can't believe that this story has come to a close. Thank you for all you've given me in the past couple years. This one will stay in my heart forever❤️💚
So...It's over huh? 😭 I can't believe how many times this fic made me tear up. I can't believe how many times this fic made me smile at my screen like an idiot. I loved Midoriya's relationships with Reo, Shinsou, Tsukauchi and Aizawa. The social media aspects of the fic were also really well done. And can we talk about the SPACE METAPHORS?? PLEASEE. THE SPACE METAPHORSSS. God damn this was a roller coaster of FEELINGS. Thank you Blackhole for the emotional damage 💚❤️ 👍
Goodbye Piper, and thank you! I started reading at the beginning back in 2019 and it's crazy to think how much has changed in four years. I graduated high school, college, and now as I'm reading this final chapter I've moved across the country for my first big job after completing my undergrad degree. I've always found comfort in reading and escaping to different worlds and stories, but Piper was so much more than just a story. It was a constant reassuring presence that I would always look forward to, filled with so much hope and warmth from both the characters and the community that grew around Piper that was tangible to me even as more of a lurker lol. Thank you so much for making Piper and I'll keep looking out for what you'll do in the future!
