    Summary

    “It’s already a fucking miracle you’re not in juvie while being charged with murder—” Izuku flinches “—you can’t afford to slip up.” Mr. Aizawa’s tone is harsh as they slow, his dark eyes resting heavily on him. “Do you understand?”

    Izuku nods, whispering a small, “Sorry.”

    Mr. Aizawa glares at him, tugging him along, like he doesn’t believe him. “Stop being sorry and just follow the rules.”

    Izuku isn’t going to juvie. They said he’s different – doesn’t matter that he’s killed someone, the police is worried about a quirkless child being around other ‘troubled’ kids.

    Now this Mr. Aizawa is stuck with him until his trial, and Izuku’s completely, a hundred percent certain that the man absolutely hates him.

    Unbeknownst to them, someone is watching from the shadows...

    Summary

    Shouta knew he had to get this kid on his side. This boy is the key to escaping the place. He has access to the laboratory. If he could convince him, maybe he could find a way to help him out. “Midoriya.” He leaned forward, gently pressing his head against the glass separating them. “I need you to help me.”

    The boy blinked up at him in confusion. “What? But we’ll both get in trouble. You’ll be more hurt than I would be!” He protested as if the grown man’s safety was more important than his.

    “I’m a pro hero, kid,” Shouta quickly silenced him as he spoke. “It’s my job to help those in need. I can handle myself, but I’m not leaving you behind. You’re coming with me whether you like it or not. I will drag your ass if it comes to it.”

     

    OR, After Shouta Aizawa rescues his student during a villain attack, he is captured and finds himself in a cell underground. Izuku Midoriya, a random kid he met, is the only one who can help him escape.

    Summary

    Power always comes with a cost.

    The stronger your quirk is, the faster your mind rots, leaving behind a bloodthirsty husk with the power of gods.

    The powerless are the only ones with the power to withstand the Quirkrot.

    Only the powerless can stay sane.

    Only the powerless stay alive.

    There are no heroes.

    There are no villains.

    There are only the hunted

    And the Hunters.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya was an enigma, by all means. A walking contradiction: constantly fidgeting with a look no child should have, but a fearless hero (if not suicidal) with a tendency to dive headfirst into danger if it meant saving a single person.

    For it is the legacy he inherited from All Might, alongside the Quirk "One For All."

    *

    Instead of the Sludge Villain incident taking place, a large-scale disaster rocks Musutafu down to its very core. All Might attempts to save as many as he could but never makes it out of the disaster.

    One of the many people he saved, Izuku Midoriya makes it out, now armed with the very power that his idol once had and a legacy to uphold.

    No pressure, right?

    Summary

    Vigilantism was on the rise, and at the forefront of this resurgence were the Ghosts. The most feared vigilante group across Japan, entire criminal organizations wiped out overnight with the villains neatly delivered to the police in the morning. These red-gloved criminals were impossible to track, disappeared right in front of you, and worst of all, did the heroes' job for them. It was a bad look, and the Commission wanted them off the map before they became national news.

    Aizawa was only trying to help out his friend, he didn't want the headache.

    Until that headache proved to very clearly be a child, and suddenly the headache was all he could focus on.

     

    They went by many names; Kenji, Ghost, Kid, Fuji if they were feeling independent. They were a ghost in more ways than one, and they liked it that way. They had a curse, a curse they promised they would see to the end.

    But when they lose everything and begin to spiral down a dark path, will they turn to the outstretched hand of an underground hero? A hero they wanted nothing more than to hate?

    Can Aizawa show this kid there is more to life than death?

     

    Or:

    Aizawa sees a traumatized vigilante and says “mine.”

    Summary

    Izuku and Bakugou escape a murderous Academy that trained them as spies—and five years later, fate throws them back together.

    -----

    Izuku’s training kicked in; his body reacted faster than his mind did.
    He raised the gun with narrowed eyes, ready to pull the trigger.

    But the stranger moved faster than Izuku ever did.

    He slammed the freckled one into the wall. Izuku gasped as his arm was twisted behind his back, sharp pain lancing through his shoulder as he cried out. But the stranger wasn’t done yet; he rammed his knee into the back of Izuku’s thigh, pinning him against the wall roughly.
     

    Izuku glanced behind his back as he gripped his gun tighter in his hands with gritted teeth-

    But the stranger twisted his arm even harder- pain shot through Izuku’s body as he held back a scream- and dropped the gun in the process.

    Izuku felt the hot breath behind his ear; the stranger’s voice was deep and full with uncontrolled anger. “Five years missing and this is how you greet me?”
     
    The boy froze.

    “Try pulling that gun on me again, and I swear, I'll blow your damn arm off.”

    Summary

    The one once known as Izuku Midoriya a kind, soft-hearted soul had long since vanished. In his place remained only the hollow shell of a desperate boy, clinging to echoes of what he used to be.

    He could no longer be called human. Izuku Midoriya had become something else entirely a stain, an anomaly. Consumed by his own greed, his soul withered, corrupted beyond recognition. Slowly, it tore him apart from within, leaving behind nothing but ruin where a hero's heart once stood.

    The thing inside him made hollow promises, unfulfilled and fading with time. Yet, the greed it left behind consumed him, leaving him craving its presence. Without it, he is incomplete… a shattered puzzle with pieces forever missing.

    They are forever one.

    Summary

    No one has know where Izuku Midoriya has been for the past year. Not that he could blame them, being that he was in another world. A world of old and new gods, a world of cruelty and danger, a world of fear and hunger. But now, freed from the endless festival he wound up trapped in, Izuku returns to the modern world of quirks and heroes, carrying more than a few scars home with him.

    Note: No knowledge of fear & Hunger is needed to read this, as I'll be going through everything the way a new player would experience the second game, which doesn't require knowledge of the first.

    Summary

    Once Upon A Time: There was a powerless boy with an impossible dream. It was a dream of heroism, of hope, of humanity, of care, and of peace.

    This dream only earned the boy the mocking laughter and ridicule of his peers, yet he still held out hope that he would be able to be a hero.

    Then, one day, as he was faced with his daily torment at the hands of someone he once called friend… he was able to be a hero. Just for an instant, just long enough to push his tormentor out of the way, and just long enough to know that he had done something good before he fell into that black and purple mist.

    Unfortunately… no good deed goes unpunished and the punishment the boy faced was one of utmost cruelty, especially for one who held a dream like his.

    Now, as the boy stands upon feet that will never feel the world under him and he picks up the pieces of his shattered dream with hands of metal that cannot feel anything beyond the warm, red ichor that drenched their predecessors, Izuku Midoriya must reckon with what comes next, who he will become, and how he can move forward when he does not believe he has the right to do so.

    Summary

    Justice is slower than fire. And it burns colder.

    In a post-war Fire Nation clinging to old power in new clothes, a widow demands justice for her husband’s death. Her accusation? Lord Ryoku—noble, untouchable, the face of everything Zuko’s court pretends is past.

    But the court is still a battlefield. The nobles close ranks. The law twists. Truth drowns in procedure. And Zuko stands at the center, the crown heavier than ever, forced to decide whether justice is something the Fire Nation can afford—or something it cannot survive.

    A political thriller in five parts. No bending battles. No easy victories. Just law, legacy, and the slow, suffocating weight of leadership.

    Sometimes the only thing that burns faster than lies... is silence.

    Summary

    Izuku learned at a very young age that love is conditional. Love is a reward for following the rules, love is reserved for those who are worthy of it, for those who are loveable.
    Izuku was not loveable, well at least not according to anyone he'd ever met.
    All he ever wanted to do was help people, to be someone worthy of loving but at 12 years old he's left with nothing and no one. Living on the streets he has to make his own way in life and maybe help some of the people in this community he's found himself in.
    Follow his journey as Izuku skirts the line of the law saving people and maybe even finding someone who thinks he's worth loving.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku is One for All. One for All is Midoriya Izuku.

    He barely remembers that last battle, barely remembers when All for One had forced another quirk into his genetic code. He'd stopped aging once it was passed on. Now, centuries in the future, All for One breaks the promise holding Izuku's life together. Izuku has seen heroes rise and fall for ages at a time, all claiming to act in his name.

    Too many lives have been lost for his flawed legacy. It's time to end this, once and for all.

    Summary

    Izuku may have been the luckiest man alive. He had a family. Friends who loved him. Teachers he trusted. The best Quirk in the world.

    And even when it all came crushing down, his only regret was not having enough time to tell them how important they were to him. He wished for more.

    Was he regretting that wish now? Yes.

    Would he give up? No.

    Would this be the last one? He wasn’t betting on it.

    Being stuck in a debilitating time loop tends to make things irritating.
