But when he finds a green-haired brat crying in the ashes of a ruined apartment—claws out, eyes glowing with grief—he makes the worst mistake of his life: he doesn’t walk away.Izuku Midoriya is dangerous, unstable, and far too much like him. Heroes would call them monsters. Maybe they’re right.
But monsters… need family too.

Summary
Katsuki isn't one for hangouts. He'd rather sit at home and read his romance mangas, or go to the gym. But when he begrudgingly agrees to accompany Kirishima to the annual smoke and chill, he's in for a shocking (and very attractive) surprise.

Summary
An expanded look into the life of Izuku Midoriya the devil child who everyone loves to hate.
Or rather, Izuku has a Fallen Angel quirk allowing him to manipulate darkness at will and looks like a devil with those sharp teeth, slit-pupiled glowing eyes, pointed ears and black leathery burnt wings. When being kind doesn't work against his bullies, Izuku learns to manipulate others via flirting. And maybe gets a little too good at it. While he's at it, maybe he'll prove people wrong. Someone with a villainous quirk can be a hero. Along the way, he'll make real friends, maybe break some hearts, and scare someone to death.
An expansion of my one-shot, Daisy.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.
So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.
The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’
This fic has a discord.

Summary
Izuku was desperate and people do stupid things when they're desperate. Summoning a demon and bargaining for a quirk classified as a stupid thing. But hey, at least it worked. Kinda. He just really wished his freeloader would shut up.
