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!"

Falling (Depressed Deku Fanfic) (COMPLETE) by WholeLotOfDeku

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.

Time Changes Us (DekuBaku) by Kilanna2016

Disclaimers I do not own nor claim to own either the characters or the world of MHA, the same is said to be true for any and all artwork, I downloaded them from google. I did do some light Photoshop work on the cover but nothing I could really brag about. Warnings ANGST, major character death and pain. This story will hurt to read and even though I am a fan and supporter of happy endings you are just going to have to read to find out how I will manage that. DEKU is going to DIE. You have all been warned. Summary; At the age of 23 the heroes Deku and Dynamight are on a mission together when feelings come out, messy and sloppy, terrible confessions later hurt and angry they turn away because of their inability to communicate with each other. It goes so far that Deku can not even bring himself to call him Kacchan any more, now calling him Bakugo much to the confusion and concern of their friends and coworkers. Everything changes though when as usual Deku doesn't think and moves, his need to save Kacchan, his Kacchan, driving any and all other thoughts from him, he dies in Bakugo's arms. Hours passed but Bakugo can't move from that spot, on his knees he just holds Deku's limp, lifeless body in his arms. Deku's last words repeating themselves over and over in his head. Tear tracks could be seen by anyone who dared to look at the broken hero in his grief. Suddenly time seems to stop, when he looks up he sees rain floating as if frozen in time, a woman shrouded in a green hood stands in front of him, most of her face covered by her hood, he could only see her mouth and chin. "Do we have a deal, Hero?" She asked her voice closer to bells than that of a woman's. "I have a condition, I can't ever see him die again. Give me his injury and let him live," Bakugo's words hung in the air and a clap of thunder rang in air when before there was none, there was now a flash of lightning above them, also frozen in place. "Deal."

maybe the life of crime wasn't for you but that didn't matter anymore. you were already in too deep. outcasted by everyone you knew and loved - there was only one person that lit up your dark life - he believes in you you were drawn to him like a fly to a flame... you ached to leave behind your errors and wrongdoings but the past can never be forgotten or forgiven. TW TW TW - mentions of blood, death, knives, manipulation, etc. i do put another TW right at the start of the chapter as well! this story also go over lots of themes - this is from a regretful villains perspective so there will be some dark moods at times! - stay safe you guys:)

Revenge- A villian deku story by J_animelover6

"What if..." "If only..." "I want a change." These are very well used and bitter phrases in my community, I myself used them far too often From a young age I knew that this world was unfair. Everything was viewed through a black and white lens. You were either a Villain: evil to the core and the scum of the Earth or a Hero: good and just and incapable of any wrong or you were a civilian: nothing, collateral damage, spare pieces in this complex game known as life. I was deemed a Villain before I was even born, because of who my father was you see, and made the dreadful mistake of dreaming to be a Hero. I was Quirkless on top of everything but still I wanted to save people, i wanted to change lives. I still do and I can do that now. But...not in the way I thought I would.

Guidance, or To Help (those in need) by orionchildofhades / shwwmf by shwwmf

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

Dear, BAKA-gou (BNHA AU) (DISCONTINUED) by Aheago_Amigo

'He must be scared of you, Midoriya! Scaredy, Cat-suki!' In this AU, we have Mean!Deku and Nice!Bakugo. It has always been like this, Bakugo being the direct target of all of Deku's sly comments. Deku has always been the one to be looked up to, even without a quirk he was by far the smartest, sportiest and most popular kid in school. Everyone adored his hero-likeness. Bakugo, on the other hand, has been the social punch-bag. His uncontrolable quirk, his anger issues, and his quick, irrational reactions, let alone his low-grades and the amount of times he has got into trouble with the teachers. Everyone hated his ambitions to become a hero. When Deku easily passed his way into UA, and Bakugo struggled to get into the suggestions list, a fire sparked within him. 'I wonder if I can become better than him...' 'I want to become better than him...' 'I can become better than him...' 'I will become better than him...' 'I NEED to become better than him...' Emotions fight with each other as new ones emerge, the suppressed ones that have never been revealed before. Desires and callings that have never been able to escape before are starting to break down the walls. A deadly secret kept by Deku that he was to carry to his early grave... All the while, a love story blooms. (BakuDeku, KatsuDeku, etc) (Maybe NSFW) (Picture isn't made by me, thanks to a person on Pinterest)

Aftermath of My Trauma *ShinKami* by NerdyWordy56

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

Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time (BakuDeku) by lyzard_fan_fics

•Rankings• #1 in bakudeku #16 in tododeku #21 in game #86 in slow burn 🧡BakuDeku💚 Class 1-A thinks it'd be a good idea to play a big game of truth or dare. Most of them are very competitive by nature, so you can only guess how extreme it gets. When Izuku pushes a little to far with his childhood friend, Bakugou, their classmates call it quits and they all head to bed. As Izuku makes his way to his dorm, Bakugou stops him. He says he'll do it, because he's not a 'fucking chicken', but only if Izuku agrees to continue the game... As the game gets more heated, so do their everyday lives. Between the seemingly constant fighting and someone with dangerous feelings towards Izuku, will the two be able to get past all of that and finally be friends... or maybe more? ************************* I let out a defeated sigh. "Fine, but you still have to compliment me ya know. That's not going to be an easy task for you." I said with a big smile. There's no way he could do. "Oi, shut up! I can totally do the dare, even if there isn't a whole lot of good stuff about you." He mumbled the last part. I gasped at him. "Rude!" I exclaimed. "Just shut up so I can think!" He growled at me. I sighed, but complied. He thought in silence for a minute or two, just looking into my eyes. I was actually afraid he'd zoned out or maybe fallen asleep with his eyes open or something. Until he finally spoke. "Your eyes... why are they so goddamn pretty?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
