(Y/N) was no different than most kids his age. He liked to spend time with his friends on the playground. He had an overactive imagination. He admired heroes, and he wanted to be one.

Then again, (Y/N) was pretty different in other ways. He was a bit more intelligent than most of the others, and a little less athletic. He was a bit less social, spending more time studying than most of his friends did. Oh, and he couldn't be a hero.

He had no Quirk, after all.

His body of flesh was powerless. So... why not replace it with something else?

Stopwatch (Momo x Male Reader) (Fluff) by FittingDrum72

I do not own any of the art in the story. I've noticed I've got a prominent amount of female readers (or people who wish for Y/N to be female) so while this book is geared towards a male reader, it will be mostly applicable to women as well, except for specific scenes where bodily description is needed. Y/N has applied to UA high school. With a unique and powerful quirk when used correctly, will he become a great hero and protect the ones he holds close to him? This is written in British English, so there will be 'u's in words, I probably won't contract as many words, and I might use some dialect that's a bit unknown, so sorry about that. You gotta read the character overview to understand his quirk and background. Constructive criticism and help is very welcome, suggestions as well. Set in the BNHA universe @GFanatiiK is the best please check him out If you own any of the art I use for the pics, just tell me and I'll take them down. I don't claim to own any of them and all rights go to their respective owners (please don't sue me xd)

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. (OC/Reader x Aizawa) by wyattwatts

Y/N L/N is a 23 year old semi-retired pro-hero, after waking up after a fight and having her quirk mysteriously disappear. She finds a job listing for a teacher at U.A., and decides to apply, not predicting the level of assholery one of her co-workers, Eraserhead, would have. She has to try and figure out how to keep on doing what she loves without her quirk, whilst also juggling a bunch of crazy damn kids. This is a story about love, our tragedies and traumas, and how our experiences shape us as people. How we get past our experiences, and what we learn from them. And how those experiences never define us as people. TW: SELF-HARM DEPRESSION ANXIETY PANIC ATTACKS 18+ NSFW SEXUAL CONTENT Slowburn + Enemies to Lovers Updated every Tuesday. This is kinda oc kinda reader because I can't make up my mind on her name.

Through the Memories We Hold Dearly (A BNHA Male reader X Mina story) (Book 1) by Epsonea_482

Having a quirk was considered normal in society. In fact, it was welcomed. 80% of the entire population had some sort of uncanny ability, whether it was strong or weak, it didn't matter. However, what happens when you are born in that 20%? The 20% of those who possess no power whatsoever and are classed as quirkless, frowned upon and don't get the fame like the rest of the population. What happens when your timid nature meets its opposite in the form of a peculiar, pink-skinned girl? And can someone truly be quirkless for life? As the title suggests, this is a Male reader X Mina story. I do not own any pictures or characters used, you are yourself. Started: 3/4/19 Completed: 23/7/19

Underestimated (MHA x Male Reader) by Some_Emo_Guy

A MHA x Reader Insert story. You were born with a very unique quirk. A quirk with a lot of mystery. What it lacked in power, it more than made up for in resourcefulness. As a child, this quirk helped you make friends and kept you the center of attention. Unfortunately, people never saw what it was really capable of. So, after reaching junior high, it was viewed as useless. You were told repeatedly that you could never be a Hero. But you're not a quitter. You will prove them wrong. NOTE: This fanfic is mostly written from a first person perspective of the Reader Character. This is for the sake of immersion. You may or may not enjoy that perspective. Thanks. I do not own My Hero Academia, it's characters, or any of the images in the chapters. 8/27/23 #2 in mha #2 in malereader 4/23/24 #1 in class1a 5/13/24 #1 in boku 6/29/24 #2 in quirk 9/9/24 #1 in malereader 12/23/24 #3 in anime 12/28/24 #1 in mhaxreader 1/14/25 #1 in insert
