[On Hiatus]

Izuku Midoriya's life is a mess, his parents are MIA, he's living on his own, his only source of income is the odd jobs he does for his landlord, and surviving his last year of middle school may just be one of the hardest things he has ever had to do. To top it all off he is Musutafu's newest vigilante ,Calamity, and he is currently being sought out by every hero and police in the area. Life isn't cutting him any breaks, and it doesn't seem like it's going to start to anytime soon, so Izuku is forced to stumble his way through dealing with his own problems, while simultaneously saving the city from dangers it doesn't even know exist, and trying to get into the hero course of his dream school.

The lives of the Class 1-A students and teachers couldn't always be considered much better. 

Teachers stressed over how to efficiently keep their students safe, while still fighting of the imminent danger lurking in the shadows of the city.

A student has to grapple with accepting themselves as who they are, while trying to fix past mistakes, trying to mend past relationships, and diging deep into themselves to learn what they truly stand for. 

Another student has to come to terms with their own self-pity, forcing them to take a good hard look at their past, who they were back then, and then their future, and who they want to be.

Another has to take a good hard look at their outlook on life as a whole, forcing them to drop the illusion that this will be as easy as it's made out to be, and keeping the rest of the class entertained as they frantically searched for ways to right past wrongs even if they'd already done enough to gain everyones trust. 

Finally, traitor. The word hangs over the head of one student, constantly haunting their thoughts, and when they can no longer live in the outside world, they choose to live in their own head, but what happens when they can't do that either?

Hidden in the Silence: Vulnerability  by WolfSlayer2550
12 parts Ongoing Mature
Shinsou always wanted to be a hero despite being told he has a villain Quirk throughout his life. Now he's been in the Hero Course for two months, and feels that hope weakening, knowing he's the reason Kaminari and Sero's friendship is ruined. Bakugo doesn't make him feel any better with his unexplained hatred of him-but if Shinsou's being honest, he doesn't like him either. Not when he knows Bakugo told Midoriya to go take a swan-dive off of the roof of a building to get a Quirk in middle school. Things worsen when an American transfer joins class 1-A and comes to the same conclusion everyone does about him in one day -because Shinsou proved her right. As emptiness swallows him whole like a casket shutting out the light, he considers that maybe Bakugo had a point on how to get a Quirk to become a hero. What he doesn't consider, is that Bakugo would not only stop him, but the two would be stuck together by All Might's word because of Shinsou's very decision. In which Shinsou Hitoshi is a selective mute who hates burdening others trying to become a hero, and gives up after failing to get a different Quirk via a swan-dive. Or, a deeper bisection on how Quirks put expectations on their metahuman wielders, especially those who get viewed as villains for a power they didn't ask to be born with. That explodes into a tale of two men learning to love each other and themselves :) THIS IS NOT A CHARACTER X READER/SELF-INSERT. Warnings: Suicide attempt and thoughts. Violence, emo teenagers, and gore Making out scenes Suggestive language Bullying and harassment PTSD trauma Bakugo. Just Bakugo. This was based off of a roleplay I did years ago. Due to this, a self-insert is in the story that helps move the plot and cannot be removed in the first 11 chapters because of that. She disappears after Act 1. This is a story mainly about Shinsou Hitoshi.

Izuku Midoriya is a good kid. A great kid, in fact. He's saved two little kids from big time villains, defeated Hero Killer Stain, and survived two villain attacks in only his first year at UA, the top hero school in the country. You wouldn't expect him to have three part-time jobs, an impossibly sick mother, and to live in a dingy gang infested neighborhood, working himself to the bone just for dinner. You wouldn't expect him to make money by doing street performances with a break dancing group, or winning bets with the many gangs in the neighborhood. You certainly wouldn't expect the hero-in-training to commit petty theft to provide for the four other poor families that live on his street. But it's all true. He lives in a poor neighborhood where no one has a decent job and there isn't a single hero, not even an underground one. The kids there have only been to the city once or twice, and none of them have parents. One girl does, and was left there willingly. They regularly have to fight off the vermin trying to take their food, and consider a single dollar a fortune. This is Izuku's home. and, if his teacher doesn't find out what's going on soon and save him, it may be his deathbed. I mean, is it really his fault a piece of the ceiling crashed onto his legs and completely shattered them? Disclaimer: I do not own Boku No Hero Academia. All characters belong to Kohei Horikoshi, I own nothing but the plot and mentioned OC'S. NOW COMPLETED. Started- 10/23/2020 Completed- 02/28/2021

"... Ka.. cchan..?" "Yes.. That's right, De- Izuku.." It was unfamiliar to him. Or was it? He does not recall such name. But he can say it in such ease.. like it was a word that naturally belonged in his mouth. But, that doesn't make sense at all! He was troubled, no matter how much he recall, he couldn't think of any moments that he uttered such name before.. Nor does he remember any moments that his master mentioned such No! He does not remember that. He doesn't know that name. He doesn't know him! He knitted his eyebrows in frustration and his expression became a mixture of confusion and agitation. "... who..?" ~~~~~ "A child that fate seems to hate." Pain was inflicted to the frail body of the poor boy in order to be the "perfect weapon". Life became achromatic in his eyes as it lacks meaning to him. It is only filled with nothing but pain and suffering. Will his view change after he get's out of this hellhole? How will the world react when they finally found the once bright little boy all grown-up but.. numb..? Will the child finally taste the life that was stolen from him? (Release will be random:D) (Everything written here are UNPLANNED, most are just passing thoughts put together to fit the story. This means that even I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how the story is gonna go.) (Ps- cover and title is temporary, I'm still working on the cover and looking for better title lol)389
