What's worse than having an overpowering enemy in front of you? It's when that enemy takes shape in the very person you trusted most. It's when that enemy is bathed in light and right under your nose, but you still couldn't catch them.
It's when you had the chance to fight back, but never saw it, and then all you are is a puppet to their schemes.

"Checkmate, a game position in chess in which the king is compromised and can no longer escape." He chuckled as he looked at the arrangement before him. A battle map, but to him and his partner, it was just another game of chess. Strategies and traps, taking out small insignificant pieces until the enemies realize how much they lost.  

Giving them a crack of hope to take out their own king, only to fall into one last trap.

"Checkmate."
...
"Dang it! I wanted to say that! You're always saying it, let me do it for once!"
"Haha, if you want to so much, just say it first."
"Moron!"

Aftermath of My Trauma *ShinKami* by NerdyWordy56
34 parts Complete
Kaminari has survived many encounters with villains, including kidnapping, threats of death, home invasion, rescue missions, attacking other villains for safety reasons, explosions, food fights, home invasion again, and kidnapping again! Saying he's been through a lot was an understatement but finally, everything has calmed down. He's out living his life however he chooses now although he's still in touch with him 'kidnapped crew'. Everything was coming together, and it was only getting better when he happened to walk into a cat cafe with a very good looking purple hair man working behind the counter. But he's not out of the woods yet it would seem, and he never meant to drag the beautiful man into his traumatic life either. -------- This is a continuation of my TodoDeku fanfic called Twisted Love. You can read this alone but you might be confused at first but I'll explain everything that needs explanation eventually. It'll just take a bit so you'll be confused about a few things for a while but you'll still understand their relationship! I DO MAJORLY SUGGEST READING THE FIRST ONE THOUGH! This is kind of a villain AU if you squint. It's got fluffy and it's a bit angsty (actually a lot angsty!!!) But uh, if you don't like my story, you don't gotta read it but I will suggest giving it a try because I suck at Summaries so my summary is not the best but I promise the story is! Ps: my readers nickname for you guys is Assholes (in the most affectionately way possible in your minds) I will not hesitate to put in anything that I feel fits this story so that means cursing (Bakuogo will be in the story so of course that's gonna be here) and maybe implied Smut but I usually don't feel comfortable writing that so probably no description. Please feel free to comment any questions this is an open environment where EVERYONE is welcomed and NO ONE is judged! Hope you enjoy! ------- Started: March 1st, 2021 Finished: October 17th, 2021
Falling (Depressed Deku Fanfic) (COMPLETE) by WholeLotOfDeku
18 parts Complete Mature
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.

Shinso x Male!Reader by _Dadzawa_

Change My Mind Shinso x Male!Villain!Reader Over 20,000 Words. ---- "What's someone like you doing in dark alleyways?" A hidden purple haired hero called. I didn't need to look to know who it was. "Shinso Hitoshi, quirk brainwashing. Your past wasn't pretty and you're a role model to your fans, your quirk was seen as a threat to others but you didn't let it define who you are." I said, he chuckled. "Fan?" He asked me, I shrugged. "I need to know info on my enemies," I told him simply, he sounded hurt. "We don't have to be enemies, You're working for a dangerous person and I just want allies in this new society." He explained. "You'll need to do a lot more than fancy words to gain my trust," I said back, knowing my job could be at risk. "Give me time and I'll convince you," He told me, I sighed. "You can try, but cross a boundary and you're done." I warned, he stepped in front to look at me. "Done deal." He finished. ---- Your quirk: Seduction. When you set the intention and activate the quirk, the only way for you to deactivate it is by clearing the intention in your head or being kissed on the back of your neck, the limbic system in your brain connects to your quirk, It's the system that is responsible for people's emotions. When you touch the target it sends the intention command through your nervous system transferring the wave of your quirk to the target. Your quirk puts the target under the strong power of love and obsession. ---- Warning: Y/n x Shinso vs Shoto for some moments, not the whole book!! Shinso and you don't meet for a while but the chapters before are important!!

Meeting your idols is always a disappointment. Understanding that the people we look up to the most don't wish for our happiness, chose to turn a blind eye on our situation. Must be painful. I'm sorry you had to go through all of this. But you see... I wouldn't say you're worthless. This is far from worthless if you ask me. I'd like you to think about some things. You say you're invisible, rejected. And I wouldn't put it past society to actually make you feel like that. But you're not. This is a golden mine, a diamond in the rough. People just won't recognize your talent because of who you are. Or what you're not. - The tale of how Midoriya Izuku, whose only dream was to be a hero, ended up a villain. Who said that a 'villain' couldn't help? Most people usually forget who requires help. And Izuku will be a hero to them, because no one else will. cover is the fanart of @seilo.art on instragram, full credit to him for it the world and almost all of the characters expect two are the work of Horikoshi, the rightful owner of My Hero Academia
