Just how bad could it be if one small change was added to Izuku Midoriya? 

When suffocated by the Sludge Villain years ago, an impairment of the area in his brain that produces 5% of the body's serotonin* occurred. He's placed on medication to ease the symptoms of his condition, Serotonin Deficiency, though not much comes from it. Energy-depleting side effects, overwhelming amounts of pressure, and shortening limits gnaw away at his potential and mental health. 

Though, that's not the only thing that aims to turn everything upside down. One day, a man puts a package in Inko's hands, requesting it to be given to her son. Once the contents and the sender become a reoccurring mystery, questions and questions pile up, and life begins draining like sand through Izuku's fingers. Head aching and hope running dry, it's only a matter of time before things quickly cross the line, and turning back is no longer an option.


*Serotonin is a chemical responsible for controlling mood, attention, sleep, and pain. (5% of which produced in your brain.)

Two Sides Of A Coin | Tododeku Villain AU ✓ by yeetermcskeeterbitch
38 parts Complete
Out patrolling with his father, Shoto Todoroki sees someone towering over the ledge of a broad building. Believing the boy will jump, Shoto scrambles to save him. That's when he encounters Midoriya for the first time. The young boy is reckless and arrogant, but something about him easily reels Shoto in. As they start talking, Midoriya abruptly ends their conversation, leaving his notebook behind. Mere hours later, Shoto tries to return the notebook, and meets Izuku instead. He's Midoriya's identical; there's no way Midoriya and Izuku are different people, right? Wrong. The more Shoto learns about the different personalities inhabiting Izuku Midoriya's body, the harder he seems to fall for the troubled villain/ anxious sweetheart. Midoriya works for the League of Villains, but something about the whole situation screams deceit. Is Midoriya truly evil? Can Izuku do the right thing, and push past his cowardice to serve the greater good? And can Shoto break free of his past, and start participating in life instead of watching from the sidelines? Two Sides of a Coin is a Tododeku Villain AU If your a homophobe or something, then just f*ck off. It's a boyxboy anime fanfic. Don't hate, just move on. Note Worthy: -playlist in the last chapter -i don't own any of the characters; they're all from MHA -cursing -touches on depression a bit: minor trigger warning maybe? -nothing too inappropriate, just a tad steamy (I'll give a heads up for people avoiding that kind of thing) -kiribaku tinee tiny bit -bakubitch -badass villain fights *punches air* -def doesn't follow plot of show/manga -honestly not enough Aizawa :( -complete

Ever since Izuku Midoriya joined U.A. High School and settled in, he knew that the League of Villains were after him and his quirk: One For All. However, when the time comes when Bakugo is the target and is only seconds away from being captured, Midoriya throws himself in the chaos and ends up saving Bakugo, only at the cost of his own safety as he is captured instead. Midoriya is brought back to the League of Villains' hideout and with him there, Shigaraki plans on changing the young boy's mindset and plans to use force against him. When Midoriya isn't able to escape for three years and no one can seem to find him, he begins to lose hope and his wounds only bleed more. Even when he goes back in time with the help of a pro hero's quirk, he is diagnosed with depression and struggles to go on through life. He doesn't feel like himself. He needs someone. He needs someone so badly. But what if there isn't anybody to help Midoriya? How will Midoriya cope when someone close to him dies right in his arms? Warning! This story will contain depression, suicide talk, torture (not explained explicitly), violence, and a whole lot of angst! Also, this story won't contain any ships. So, there isn't any BakuDeku, TodoDeku, etc., it's just a depressing story with Midoriya with his friends trying to change themselves to help him and their own selves in the future.

WARNING: Viewer discretion advised. This story contains descriptions of murder, suicide, sex, and other mature content. Spoilers also ahead. ~~ What if Deku wasn't born quirkless? What if the reason for Katsuki's hurtful words had to do with the dark past Inko desperately tried to keep hidden from the outside world? What if becoming a hero wasn't the answer after all? ~~ My eyes widen. "I've decided. Young man, you will inherit my quirk." I let out a sigh of relief, laying down on the ground as my anxiety fades. I'm overwhelmed with joy, tears streaming down my face as my body is overcome with brutal exhaustion. I don't plan on using this power to become a hero, but All Might doesn't need to know that. I can't think of being a hero, or anything else for now. I need to get stronger, even stronger than my father. Wait for me mom, Kacchan, I'm coming. ~~ After that night, things only became harder for Izuku. The mental pressure was too much, to the extent that it took an unhealthy turn. Izuku could barely handle the pressure of having no one to rely on, torn between becoming a hero and being taught how to assassinate by the killer of heroes. It wasn't long before his sanity began to split. ~~ "It's okay. Honestly, you're the first person I've met who doesn't think my quirk is more suited to become a villain.." Shinsou said. After spending so much time with villains, I no longer thought of the word the same. "If you ask villains their story, you'll probably think they'd make pretty good protagonists. We always see things from the hero's perspective but we rarely ask how the villain ended up the way they are. The heroes are the real villains if you ask any villain, and even villains can be a hero to someone." ~~ I killed someone. I know he deserved it, yet I still couldn't look down at my own hands the same. Dried blood covered the bandages I wore around my wrists when I train with Stain. I had no choice but to accept it. I became a hero killer.

68 parts Complete

That day, they didn't know what they had lost. Izuku Yagi was born quirkless. His sister, Izumi Yagi, on the other hand, had an extremely powerful quirk that could match One For All―her father's quirk. While his parents praised Izumi, Izuku was mindlessly neglected and shoved aside like he was nonexistent. After several years of physical and psychological abuse, neglect, and rejection, he finally was fed up. ℹ️ Extra Information ℹ️ -Cover is mine. -With point-of-view changes, the time can also change; although, I try to make it apparent whenever the time has been changed. -Please point out any mistakes or plot holes you find because I want this to be as good and accurate as humanly possible (however, with some plot holes-if it's been too long-I might not be able to fix the issue) -If you're wondering why I'm re-uploading everything, it's because I edit any mistakes I notice (albeit, incredibly slowly 😅).
