Izuku doesn't cry. He is a weapon, and weapons don't weep.
He won't cry until the battle, when he's falling through the air, when it settles in just how real it is that he's going to die, because yeah, the doctor warned him this would happen, but there's always been a part of Izuku that thought he'd live forever.
Just like his father told him.
Or, how a few heroes help Midoriya Izuku become something more than a lost vigilante.

What a Tragedy
Izuku has lived his life alone since the ripe age of four. Or at least he wishes he was completely alone. His mother leaves him to the streets to pursue better opportunities and he wanders around looking for a home. He finds one, but it's not the kind he wants. Years later he walks through a portal under the control of the LoV with the destination of the USJ where a certain dark haired hero catches sight of him. What will Aizawa do about the miserable looking green haired boy who was obviously there against his will? How long will it take to save him? And can Izuku survive long enough to see himself get saved? (I do not own My Hero Academia nor do I claim to.

More Than Just a Student (All Might and Deku)

(A slight AU, taking place after Deku and Bakugo's fight, but before Class 1-A meet The Big Three) I don't own My Hero Academia.

Asylum(mha OC Fanstory)
Numb. That's how anyone would describe her. She didn't react to pain anymore. She didn't show emotion. But she could still feel. The pain was dull, so continuous that it faded into a background hum. The words didn't elicit a reaction anymore. They had already sunk far too deep to affect her. Worthless, villain, stupid, fat, villain, ugly, useless, villain. She believed every single thing they said. She deserves the pain. She shouldn't complain. Her only purpose for living is to be a shield. The only reason she didn't take her own life was so that no one would face the same treatment. TRIGGER WARNINGS if you are sensitive to abuse, self harm, suicidal thoughts and actions, eating disorders, violence, panic attacks, and other heavy topics, please don't read. Take care of your mental health. This is my first story on Wattpad. Please don't be toxic. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Also, I don't own my hero acadamia, just my oc and the plot line. Gonna warn you, this is me fitting as much angst and trauma into a story as I can, and it will probably be over the top. Just be forewarned.Complete
You Deserve it All
Life's been cruel to Izuku Midoriya. After having to bury his wife and daughter, his only other child gets put into a quirk-induced coma that they can't wake her up from. He shuts down, ignoring the outside world, refusing to let anyone in. He's terrified of the consequences it could bring if other people entered his life. The only person he can't push away is Bakugo. No matter how hard he tries, Bakugo keeps coming back, just trying to make sure Midoriya stays alive. When Bakugo's had enough, he forces Midoriya out of his bed and tries to help him through the pain. Turns out, all he needed was a little bit of hope to bring back some of the light in his eyes. ⚠️Death of loved ones ⚠️Language ⚠️Alcohol useComplete
