"I'm not a hero, that's for sure."
***
Midoriya Izuku gave up on the dream of being a hero long ago. No Quirk. No power. No chance. Instead, he resigned himself to a life of quiet solitude, far from the battles that shaped the world.
Or so he thought.
Fate, however, had other plans. No matter how far he ran, how deeply he buried his past, the call of destiny was relentless. Because some people aren't born to be heroes-they are forged in the fire of necessity.
And he was born for one purpose.
To give the world...
Peace.

The Fall Of Hope > Villain Deku AU <
In a world where heroes are the law-and execution is their justice-being quirkless isn't just a disadvantage. It's a death sentence. Izuku Midoriya once believed in heroes. He studied their moves, dreamed of saving lives, and clung to the hope that one day, he'd prove the world wrong. But hope is fragile... and the world is cruel. Betrayed by his idol. Beaten by his peers. Abused at home. When society's "protectors" make it legal to kill dissenters, Izuku becomes their perfect target. And when the people he loved most turn their backs, he runs-bleeding, broken, and ready to disappear. That's when he meets Shigaraki. Offered food, shelter, and something more dangerous than a quirk-purpose-Izuku is reborn as Null, a shadow in the dark with a vendetta against the very society he once worshiped. With the League of Villains at his side, he will expose the rot beneath the hero's smile, dismantle their false justice, and watch the world that rejected him burn. In this brutal reimagining of My Hero Academia, alliances are fragile, morality is a weapon, and the line between hero and villain no longer exists. The question isn't whether Izuku will get his revenge- It's whether anything will be left once he does.
Don't let go
Izuku always wondered where he went wrong in his life. He wondered what he did wrong to deserve everything he got. After a intern messed up telling his parents he didn't have a quirk. Izuku feared for the worse when he went home. For good reasons too. Izuku becoming more emotionally and mentally unstable over the years. No one noticing his pain or noticing his hidden demons. Even after several attempts at ending everything... The whispers in his ears not stopping..Yet for some reason he still fought to become a hero. Even when everyone put him down over and over. Until he finally changed his goals, his dreams and his life. Making him to re-decide and to change everything. So instead of a hero. He became the villain. This is his story. Will everyone help him in his time of need? Will they help him go back and save him. Or will they just.. Let him go.? A/n I don't own the anime nor image you guys see. Also don't own majority of the characters within the story.. I wish I did... Yet I do own some original character in here...Complete
Izuku And His Laws (Rewrite)
*Izuku Midoriya was born with Archikinesis-a quirk that defied all expectations. Each dawn brought a different fundamental force under his command: fire, gravity, time, space itself. His power shifted with the sunrise, making him unpredictable and misunderstood.* *At his old school, this ever-changing ability made him a target. Bullied relentlessly by his childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo, Izuku endured years of torment until he finally reached his breaking point. When the cruelty became too much to bear, he and his mother made a fresh start in Musutafu, closer to his dream school: U.A. High.* *Now Izuku trains relentlessly to master each law that comes his way. Guided by a mysterious wheel of power that manifests behind him-a visual representation of his quirk's true potential-he transforms what others saw as weakness into ultimate strength. Through martial arts, strategic thinking, and an unshakeable will to help others, he forges his own path to heroism.* *In a world that values consistency and predictability, Izuku will prove that adaptability is the greatest power of all. He won't just follow the traditional rules of heroism.* *He'll rewrite them, one law at a time.* --- "All of My Hero Academia belongs to Horikoshi, while everything else is my own. this is my first fanfic, so thank you & enjoy!"
When darkness embraces the light - Mha Fanfiction
Izuku Midoriya was always told he was worthless. A boy without a Quirk, without a future, without a place to belong. But someone saw value in him. Not as a hero. Not as a person. But as something to be owned, shaped, and broken. Pain became familiar. Fear became routine. The world outside blurred into something distant, something that no longer felt real. But then-he was taken back. Not freed. Not truly. Because the body heals, but the mind does not forget so easily. Because even in safety, the echoes of hands that once held him down still linger. Because how do you return to a world that left you behind? Yet, in the midst of it all, hands reach for him. A family not by blood, but by choice. People who do not expect him to heal overnight-only to keep breathing, keep going, keep living. And maybe, just maybe, that will be enough. Uploading on Saturday (currently on a short hiatus)
Shattered
Izuku Midoriya was born in a world where people have a power called quirk. Sadly he was born without one. He HAD a dream of becoming a hero. Once a childhood dream, now a traumatizing memory. Every time he thought of becoming a hero he would see all those bad memories, -Him being bullied -Him getting abuse -Teachers just stand by watching not bother to move a finger to help. To him, his school was hell. The only thing left to protect him from this cruel world is his mother, but what if that gone too? Alright, new fanfic, just stumbled upon this idea. Take note that my English is not that good so if there any error in my writing please ignore it.Complete
The Fire That Made Me (Izuocha) (Collaboration with : @UmmeZainab4)
Izuku Midoriya was born with a combination of his mother's small telekinesis and his dad's fire breathing quirks, and merged into a very powerful pyrokinesis. But it's more complicated, it's connected to his emotions, if he got to excited in any way, his whole body will catch on fire. People around him are scared of him and ridicule him for it. Even Bakugou doesn't want to be around him. He just decides to distance himself from everyone, until in the 1st grade a certain bobbed haired gravity girl greets him. This is my first fanfic. I'm not confident in my my writing ability. So if you have something to say about my writing ability, shut it. I do not own My Hero Academia or its characters. I'm just borrowing these characters for entertaining purposes.Complete
Falling (Depressed Deku Fanfic) (COMPLETE)
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.
