(TW: this story has consistent mentions of DID. I do not have the disorder but I did some research. if you find something that isn't right or something is missing please feel free to comment or tell me. I dont want to offend anyone. Mentions of alcoholism, abuse, harsh language, slurs, bullying and suicide baiting will will likely come up)

As a child, Izuku Midoriya did not have the happiest life. At school, he was harshly bullied by his peers for his apparent Quirklessness. At home, his alcoholic mother ignored his existence unless it was to beat him for being useless. Fleeting voices told his that none of this was right, but he took it all with a plastic smile. For years, Izuku endured this treatment until, one day, he broke. 

Izuku wakes up in an alleyway with no memory of where he was or how he got there. Armed with only his wit, a backpack and the clothes on his back, he somehow manages to befriend the least likely of people and finds a new family at the same time.

Broken Mask

36 parts Complete

Deku got tired of hiding all of his emotions under a mask. Tired of keeping a smile on his face despite being constantly beaten up and ridiculed. He'd kept his mask up for so long that it was fragile as glass. The day it broke was a tragic one for his old "friend" and mother, but became a beautiful opportunity for him. The villains saved him. The villains were his family. The villains helped him put on a different mask. He was getting back at all the people who'd ridiculed him... or was he? I'll try to put trigger warnings on specific chapters, but here are some general triggers that will be in most/all of them: strong language(mainly just cussing), attempted suicide/suicide mention, depressed thoughts/actions Cover art: credit to BlueWolfArtista on deviantart! I will eventually try to make my own cover, but for now I'm using his. If you know that he doesn't want me to use his art, message/comment it and I will gladly take it down. I don't want to have it there if he's uncomfortable with it.
