"what's wrong Kacchan?
Your quirk not working the way you want it to..?"


Izuku Midoriya, an "average" teen. You'd expect nothing to be wrong with him, growing up training to be a hero. Ever since he was 4 he had been put into hero training so why would he hate something he strived to be his whole life?
Right?

But...

What if...
He actually didnt want to be a hero?
What if things didn't go the way his boss wanted.

What if...

He was a glitch in the system?

Falling (Depressed Deku Fanfic) (COMPLETE) by WholeLotOfDeku
17 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.

Mastermind: Strategist For Hire

43 parts Complete Mature

Izuku Midoriya never got the chance to save Bakugo from the sludge villain and impress All Might. With his dream crushed, Izuku becomes bitter and angry. It also doesn't help that he faces discrimination at every turn. All he ever wanted was to be appreciated, so when the villains are the ones to recognize his talents rather than the heroes, well, Izuku just can't resist. He might as well help those who actually want him around. Mistakes were made, and now society must face a villain of their own making: Mastermind. ------------------------------------------ This fic is part of an AO3 series called [For The Want Of A Nail] written by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown). This is the second story on the series. I've seen the first and third parts being published on this site but I couldn't find the second one so I'm posting it instead.
