    Summary

    Izuku hasn't felt like a child since he was four. since he sat in that doctor's office and got told he was worthless.

    His life fell apart after that day as his dad left, and his father promised him everything he ever wanted. a father that gave him a quirk. too many quirks.

    He didn't see his mom after that day. Well, that's a lie. He didn't see her alive after that day.

    Izuku broke everything and everyone around him as he rebelled and ran from every problem in his measly little life. He couldn't keep on living in shadows. He needed to help people. The rush of adrenaline after was better than anything he had ever felt.

    So Izuku Midoriya, equipped with a stolen mask and stolen weapon and three stolen quirks, promised to help anyone he could in his stolen, dying and partially blinded body. not as his stolen name, but as the fox.

    Summary

    Kintsugi: The Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold. It represents the idea that broken doesn't mean unfixable. That even something shattered can be made into a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.

    Izuku knows that life will always be unfair to people like him. He knows that he can't bring his mother back from the dead or make his father love him. He knows he's destined for a life of loneliness and pain. Knows that his goal to be a quirkless hero is nearly impossible.

    Izuku knows that he's broken.

    But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
    Will Izuku let them?

    Summary

    Tap.

    The sound cracked the silence in two.

    Izuku jolted so hard the pen dropped from his hand. His heart punched against his ribs, each beat too fast, too sharp.

    Slowly, step by step, he moved to the window. His hands shook as he undid the latch and pulled it open. Cold night air spilled in.

    Empty.

    He swallowed. Forced a laugh. See? Nothing. Just you, being jumpy. Just shadows. You’re stronger than this.

    Then—

    “Midoriya..”

    The voice.

    His blood ran cold. His lungs locked.

    It wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real.
    ______________________

    The war may be over, but Izuku Midoriya can’t escape the ghosts it left behind. Nightmares, doubt, and a new villain who twists fear into reality threaten to break him all over again.

    But Bakugo refuses to let that happen.
    He’ll fight beside Izuku—against the villain, against the trauma, against the darkness itself.

    Because Deku isn’t falling alone. Not this time.

With the help of Inko Midoriya—a kind-hearted woman who helps victims of domestic violence—Rei begins to rebuild. But safety doesn’t erase trauma, and healing is far from linear.

    Summary

    “Hey, Izuku, wake the fuck up.” He pinches once more, and this time Izuku’s eyes open and stay open a little longer. He can see Izuku’s mouth move around a little, as if he’s trying to figure out how to form words before another groan escapes and he clamps his eyes shut.

    “Kacchan,” Izuku whispers. 

    Katsuki sniffs and licks his lips. “Yeah I’m here. You gotta talk to me, Deku. I gotta know what’s going on.”

    He really needs to know what kind of shape Izuku is in. “He’s awake sensei,” he calls over to the phone, knowing that Aizawa has been paying attention this whole time. “I’m checking him over.”

    Izuku starts to move then, just a short move of his torso up before it’s abruptly cancelled and a loud keen escapes his mouth. Katsuki is left kneeling there, one hand stretched out, eyes wide, as Izuku writhes in pain.

    “What the fuck, Izuku what the fuck,” he mutters, putting a hand on Izuku’s shoulder to still his body. “Talk to me. Talk to me.”

    Summary

    —“I’m sorry, can you repeat that?” Izuku sat in the doctor's office, arm wrapped up and tucked away in a sling.

    “We found an abnormal growth of cells in your frontal lobe.” —

    After the war ends Izuku Midoriya really just expects everything to continue how it was before. Yes, he knows they need to rebuild and yes he knows it won’t be as easy as he wants it to be.

    But nothing, nothing could’ve prepared him for this.

    who would’ve thought the reward for winning a war wasn’t early retirement and having so much money you don’t know what to do with it but a nightmare of a disease that’s apparently incurable even in a super-powered quirked world.

    This definitely wasn’t on Izuku’s 20xx bingo card.

    Summary

    Katsuki’s heart is beating so fast inside his chest that it might give out any minute now. He places his phone against his ear with a trembling hand, praying to a god he’s not sure he believes in that this isn’t what he thinks it is. “All Might? What is it? What the fuck is going on?”
    “Young Bakugou, please try to keep calm,” All Might’s full-of-static voice says over the phone. “But I need you to meet me at the station as soon as possible.”
    “Why? What’s happening?”
    “It seems that, on the way out of your apartment earlier tonight, Young Midoriya has been… taken.”
    “Taken? The fuck do you mean, taken? Taken where?”
    “We don’t know, my boy,” All Might laments, voice shaky and nervous. “Young Midoriya is missing. No one knows where he is.”

     

    After a fight at Katsuki's apartment has Izuku storming out alone, a cult of rich, quirkless people kidnap him. Their goal? Use Izuku’s genetics to try and recreate One For All, which they wish to bestow upon all quirkless people across the world.

    Alternatively: Katsuki and Izuku go through it.

    Summary

    After being captured by All for One and given to the Doctor, there is very little that Izuku can trust anymore. Not his body, not his loved ones, and certainly not his mind. There isn't a single aspect of himself that hasn't been violated and altered. He does his best not to let them break him, but there are some things that even he can't smile through. Eventually, he doesn't have the awareness to care anymore.

    When he is finally rescued, he's barely a shell of his former self. There's no laughter, no mumbling, no conviction, only blank stares and feeble responses. Despite what they are told, his classmates are determined to bring him back.


    “Hello all,” Mrs. Midoriya managed a small wave. “It’s nice to see you here, but I thought Izuku couldn’t have visitors other than family come through this door.”

    “He can’t.” Todoroki confirmed with a nod from the others. “That’s why we entered through a window instead.”

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.

    But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.

    Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

    Summary

    **Warning my summaries are lacking***

    When pro heroes discovered an unconscious young man during a raid, they had no idea what they were stumbling upon. A weapon, created by the Doctor through pain and trials. A soldier for the League. Even with the Doctor gone after the War, his actions held many consequences. It was up to the heroes to undo what was done, something that seemed impossible. Are our favorite heroes and hero students up to the task?

    OR

    Izuku has been made into a weapon by the Doctor. They made him into Machina—a soldier and assassin. The heroes find him and quickly realize that the Doctor has hurt him severely. It's kind of like a Winter Soldier vibe with Izuku.

    Summary

    Quirks aren't everything in this world, nor is your family status.

    Animals are treated less than humans, even though they have the capacity to feel emotions and think for themselves. They're pushed away, merely because they're not human. Nezu? Heck, he's so smart, everyone's scared of what would happen if they got on his bad side. Half the society, at the very least, still think that he's just an animal.

    Midoriya? No quirk, he's ranked even lower, less than human. At least Nezu still had a quirk.

    At least, that's what they thought.

    Warning: This fic contains depression, suicide, self harm, etc.
