The Hero of Orario
Izuku stood on the edge of the battlefield. Shigaraki Tomura had been taken over by All for One as the villain had used a Quirk to blast Izuku out of the Vestige World. Izuku now lay on the ground with his arms disintegrated up to his upper wrists. All for One managed to use on of his many quirks in order to attack Izuku whilst he was down and a white light is all Izuku could see. On the other side of what he believed to be Heaven or Hell; he finds himself in the care of a twin-tailed girl with black hair itself. She was worried over him as she had managed to heal his arms back all the way somehow. He later finds out that All for One killed him and now has to live his life in this world, called Gekai.

My Hero Academia: When All Hell Breaks Loose
Midoriya Izuku is not your wimpy loser that every anime tries to portray. Instead, he is the most straight-forward, over-dramatic teen you will come across. Oh, he is also quirkless and wants a reason to flip off all the heroes for telling him he can not be a hero, so he is going to be a hero to spite them! (Quirkless!Deku) I don't own anything of My Hero Academia. Warnings: Suicide References, Dark Humor, Blood and Gore, Anxiety AttacksComplete
Butterfly effect 🦋
With a quirk that was as villainous as his father Stain, this kids future was sealed the moment people see his quirk. Izuku Midoriya had a quirk he was proud of, one that resembled his fathers. In fact, Izuku could also control blood but the blood he controlled would transform in butterflies. Something he really found pretty. Too bad that this kid had no one to rely on other than his father his whole life. One needed to say Stain was quite the effective father. He loved Izuku very much. However, every story in life has their turning point, and that was when Midoriya's father was captured or he himself was brought to stay with Aizawa. Now let's see how things will turn out to be. A/N: This is a mha fanstory hope you enjoy! Please also feel free to correct my bad writing. Rights on the pictures go to the artist. I do not own mha, rights to the owner.Complete
