What does it mean to be a symbol? To inspire those around you? To raise so far above everyone around you that they barely recognize you as human?
Should they?
Izuku can barely recognize himself as human, what hope does anyone else have.

Monsters Like Us
The street light flickered, and for a moment, something seemed to surface in those shrouded green eyes. Something raw, something terrifying. The rain pounded down on the pavement as their eyes met, one pair empty, one pair filled with an endless black fury. Izuku felt something shatter in his chest as his built up emotions broke loose of their confinement and scattered outwardly in a great and sudden wave. "Why should I apologise for being a monster!?" He screamed at the other party, who flinched sharply. "Why should I!?" Rain poured down his face, mixing in with the tears falling from his eyes. He screamed to the broken sky. "Has anyone, ever apologised for turning me into one!?" ~ What does it mean to be a hero? The question lingered in Izuku Midoriya's mind, persistent as a ghoul hellbent on taking its revenge. He would think, to be a hero means to oppose the villain. But what is a villain if not the result of a forgotten rescue or someone the hero forgot to save? What is a villain if their reasons, in this economy, didn't have some connection to a long forgotten case ending in tragedy? Izuku used to convince himself otherwise, choosing to drown in a river of denial than face his own obscured truth head on. He sat, buried up to his neck in memories replaying over and over in his mind like a warning. He ignored the searing in his neck and the pain in his head as he recalled his own origin story, dressing the wolf up as a lamb and releasing it into the flock as though attempting to forget that the wolf had ever been there in the first place. And he thought, what did it mean to be a hero? Even after years of pondering, Izuku still didn't know. Because despite everything he tried to bury, in the end he was always going to become the villain of the story. ~ All rights to the picture artists I do not own anything but the plot of this story, all rights to the MHA artist and author <3 (Ps, might be some BKDK elements but no overall romance)
Guidance, or To Help (those in need) by orionchildofhades / 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 AcademiaComplete
The Fire I Began
TRIGGER WARNING: self-harm, suicidal thoughts, symptoms of PTSD As a child, Izuku Midoriya thought he was Quirkless. That is, until he discovered his luck was far worse- he did have a Quirk. One that granted him the ability to steal other Quirks. Desperate to prove to his classmates, to their parents, and to the world that he's not the villain his Quirk suggests he is, he dreams of becoming a Pro Hero. If only his Quirk just wasn't so villainous. That might make the process a bit easier.Complete
SYMBOL
Quirks, the evolutionary advancement of human evolution. The next step in human history to become better than what they were before but that was just hopeful wishing. Since the dawn of quirks, humans started losing their humanity. They valued quirks as if they are what determines where people stand in society and if you don't have a quirk you'd live a life full of torment, torture and just plain cruelty. A boy was born in a corrupted world and he was unfortunate enough to be born quirkless. He has seen the horrors of how humans treat the less fortunate, those who are quirkless, who have weak quirks, mutation quirks and quirks that are considered villainous. He wanted to change the outlook of how society became, so he planned on becoming something that could change the world. He would become a SYMBOL (Something messed with my book and wiped my description and tags so I had to re-do it) A/N: I really don't know how to write a description.

You Can Be a Hero Too
"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.

And he was born for one purpose. To give the world... Peace. *** "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect the ones I love. Even if it means becoming the very thing I once feared."
