Summary
Izuku was different from other kids. Nobody ever lost a chance to remind him of that. But nobody knew how deep the rift was.
He didn’t have a father. Not anymore.
He was Quirkless in a word where that word was meant for a dying breed.
He was incredibly smart, or smart enough to know that he should keep that as his official Quirk status.
He was sure that Villains didn’t deserve to live, and that the Heroes that kept the corrupt system alive weren’t any better.With a crystalline plan in his head, a vengeance burning in his heart, and enough guts to lie his way to the top, this kid will turn the world upside down.
And, perhaps, find someone worth walking with along the way.Series

Summary
Izuku Midoriya couldn’t remember much before his fifth birthday. The only memories were having a best friend, a Father who loved him, and a Mother who always played heroes and villains with him.
After his diagnoses, everything in his life changed for the worse. His best friend turned on him, his Father had left them, and his Mother was working longer hours to support them.
It wasn't until Inko Midoriya was complaining to her fellow coworker about her son's treatment at school that an opportunity of a lifetime would be presented to them.
OR
Inko Midoriya pulls six-year-old Izuku Midoriya out of Aldera after the Yaoyorozu Family finds out what Izuku is going through. Instead, they offer Izuku the chance to learn beside Momo Yaoyorozu with their private tutor and training instructors. When Izuku ends up saving a stranger from a group of men years later, he catches the eye of a certain hero, and is offered a opportunity of a lifetime. Not everything goes according to plan when he summons Smokescreen instead of the Strength Stockpile he was supposed to get.

Summary
A boy made of lies that were all supposed to mean something. His quirk, his past, his NAME, all carefully built to mean nothing. But it never goes according to plan. Izuku thought he had everything handled, under control. His quirk is nothing, like everyone thinks it is. His past is locked away, where it can't hurt anyone anymore. His name? Fake, obviously. Both of them.
How long can this relative peace last when a desperate vigilante bites off more than he can chew? How will run-ins with heroes, villains, and a strange girl with a penchant for knives alter the course of history?
Meanwhile, a different girl sits on a beach, an outcast from birth. A destiny approaches her, brought on by one lucky chance and a conversation with a man the shadow of what he used to be. When destiny and the public eye prove to be too much, who will be there to pick up the pieces?
And what's wrong with these quirks?
This is the beginning of something more.
----
Or, Izuku has AFO and nothing ever goes according to plan. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

Summary
“You don’t have hope?” She asks suddenly, voicing the question that had been ringing through her mind since she realized his meaning. “You don’t think we’ll win?”
He stares at her, brow furrowed. “Yeah… no, I mean I think we will, eventually.” His voice is tense, airy.
“But you don’t think you’re going to…” she can’t say it, not yet, “... have a career?”
He watches her closely. He’s looking for something. Those wide green eyes are watching as she comes to the realization that the prick of tears are forming in the corners of her own.
“Did you… really think that I would?”

Summary
“What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”
“No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”
The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”
He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”
After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.
He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.

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
“I want,” Bakugou says, “you to wake the fuck up. Make teachers look out for their kids. Don’t put up with any kind of violence—this should be a fucking safe space for kids. And the little shit-stains who think they’re above the rules because they’ve got a fancy quirk? You deal with them, too. Quirk usage is illegal. Physical assault is illegal. And yet I saw all that and more when I was here—I did all of that and more when I was here.”
The principal stares at him. “You’re saying you wanted us to give you detention?”
Detention. Like that would have done anything.
“I’m saying,” Bakugou says through gritted teeth, “that you should’ve expelled me.”
Or: how Bakugou became an anti-bullying advocate.

Anarchy sweeps Japan. The war with the Paranormal Liberation Front and the subsequent mass breakout from Tartarus have left the country in ruins. Izuku strikes out on his own, dodging All For One's sinister agents and doing justice where he can, separated from those at UA he cares for most.
Meanwhile, Nejire and Tamaki graduate from UA and dive into the lawless streets as pro heroes for the first time. Izuku has no intention of getting close to his fellow students again anytime soon...but his two senpais represent a grey area, and when he and Nejire intersect, she proves to be hard to shake off.
Soon, other people, acquaintances, and a confusing number of women begin making themselves known in Izuku's orbit, and while he continues to investigate an ongoing series of crimes...it becomes clear that he can't do this alone forever.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya, a student at the prestigious UA high school, accidentally stumbles upon the dark truth of the world. Now, with a life span measured in weeks (mostly due to his terminal lack of a self-preservation instinct), he must adapt to this new reality, where undead, cryptids, things that used to be human, and eldritch abominations are considered to be something normal.
All while dealing with issues as diverse as magic, accidental loss of humanity, sanity damage, fates worse than death and the fact that he seems to be a walking magnet for trouble. Including girls. Especially girls.
[how exactly did I end up writing this as a comedy is beyond me]

Summary
(Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)
Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”
“Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”
“Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”
“I-I’m what?! W-wait!”
tl;dr
Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

Summary
Quirks are everything. In the decades since their arrival, they've become so ingrained in society that having a quirk is equated with being human.
So, what happens when someone is quirkless? Are they viewed as less than those have one? Not fully deserving to be called human?
What happens when someone has more than one quirk, against the natural order of things? Are they viewed as monsters? Inhuman for an entirely different reason?
And, most importantly.
What happens when someone is born with a quirk that gives them the power to decide who falls into what category?
