Summary
Midoriya Izuku was elated when All Might offered him One for All. He was crushed when All Might retracted the offer and gave it to someone else. But it's okay! Izuku's never been a quitter, so if he can't be a hero, he'll just have to save people some other way! He really doesn't mean to befriend a bunch of people in UA's hero course and impress them enough that they show Eraserhead (Izuku's favorite underground pro-hero!) his notebook. He certainly doesn't mean to be forcefully taken in as Nezu's student and end up partaking in border-line vigilantism, not necessarily in that order. And he really, definitely, one-hundred-percent, does not plan on getting One for All anyway.
But he's really glad he's finally made some good friends!

Golden boy with feet of clay,
Let me help you on your way.
A proper push will take you far -
But what a clumsy lad you are!- Stephan R. Donaldson, Lord Foul’s Bane
Or:
Inko is deemed an unfit parent, so Izuku is placed with Aizawa and his family against his will. Shinsou has some issues with that and wants him gone. They both take things a little too far. -

Summary
He can’t do it anymore. He just can’t do it. His father, his teachers, his friends- Kacchan- they're all right. He’s held on for so, so long, all for three people: himself, his soulmate, and his mother. But he's just lying to himself, isn’t he? His mother would be better off without him. Sure, she’d mourn the loss of a son, but her lover would return and she could have her life back. As for his soulmate, they clearly don’t want him. He doesn’t know why, or what he did, but they wouldn’t talk to him anymore. So all he does, at this point, is cause them a lot of pain. He doesn’t blame them for hating him, really. They obviously have their own issues. They don’t need his, too.
That only leaves living for himself. And he can’t do that. He's hurting his mom and soulmate. He's getting in his classmates’ ways and making the teachers’ jobs more difficult. No matter his dreams, he can’t be a hero, so he’ll never be able to make up for all of the suffering he’s caused by existing.
So that’s it. He’s done.

Summary
Shouto just wanted some chicken nuggets from McDonald's, but the cheap Endeavor toy sort of ruined the whole thing. So he sits there, sulking at his Happy Meal, until a nosy Izuku decides to do something about it. It doesn't take more than three play-dates for them to decide that they'll stick together, no matter what kind of shit life might (and does) throw at them.
This can be read as the start of the series (or even as a stand-alone), but the first fic is only 4k so it's up to you. :D

Summary
TodoDeku vigilante series! Mostly based on songs, but not song fics. There will be a happy ending, I promise! But we're starting this off with a lot of angst. I hope you like it!

Heroes Don't Quit by CaptainSmileyfaceJ
Fandom 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
01 May 2020
Summary
Endeavor expected great things from his golden child, and he ensured that those expectations were realized in the harshest ways possible. It sure was lucky, then, that Shouto was not that child. Endeavor had no idea what to do with him and his latent quirk, so Shouto had no expectations put on him at all. Shouto didn't feel all that lucky, though.
Midoriya Izuku, on the other hand, was faced with a crippling expectation: nothing. He would say nothing, do nothing, be nothing. In his darker moments, he would admit that it made sense. He, as a quirkless child born to a family tree that hadn't seen a quirkless person in generations, shouldn't exist. So of course everyone expected him to, essentially, not exist. It didn't seem to matter that Izuku felt differently.
And then there was Shinsou Hitoshi. Born to be a villain, tossed around foster homes, and generally considered trash by society, Hitoshi felt pressure from all kinds of crazy and contradictory expectations. His solution? To tell everybody to screw off and let him figure out his own damn life. It only sort of helped.
Fun things are bound to happen when they meet.

Summary
Izuku is five years old the first time he's saved by heroes. He's an instant fan of the woman in pink with her cheerful smile and the man with his ice powers and fine-boned features, even if they both refuse to tell him their names.
For most of his life, Izuku has been the centre of villain attacks, but he has never been injured. Every time, he's saved by bright, unknown heroes—heroes who smile at Izuku, and ruffle his hair or ply him with hugs, and seem mesmerised by how small he is.
Heroes that the rest of the world doesn't believe exists.
(Time-travelling Class 1-A AU)

Summary
Over the course of one week, Midoriya Izuku sees his childhood friend turned bully face consequences for his actions, gets appreciated for his skills, acquires a boyfriend that sits right in front of him, realizes that his grumpy homeroom teacher is actually on his side, and tells Aizawa Shouta the truth about One for All.
All of that information, however? It's happening in the background. Follow our hero: Aizawa Shouta aka Eraserhead. Over the course of the same week, Aizawa looks into his Problem Child and his many contradictions in order to not see Midoriya Izuku and Bakugou Katsuki paired together for their upcoming final exam.
During this time, Aizawa learns things he should have known from the start, talks to a lot of people, drinks so much hot chocolate, loves his husband, feeds his cat, gets a shocking six hours of sleep, reflects on his past, and learns the truth about a legend passed through underground heroics for decades.
