A MHA x Reader Insert story. You were born with a very unique quirk. A quirk with a lot of mystery. What it lacked in power, it more than made up for in resourcefulness. As a child, this quirk helped you make friends and kept you the center of attention. Unfortunately, people never saw what it was really capable of. So, after reaching junior high, it was viewed as useless. You were told repeatedly that you could never be a Hero. But you're not a quitter. You will prove them wrong.
NOTE: Much of this fanfic is written from a first person perspective of the Reader Character. This is for the sake of immersion. You may or may not enjoy that perspective. Thanks.
I do not own My Hero Academia, it's characters, or any of the images in the chapters.

Flight of the Butterflies (Bakugo X Black Disabled Fem Reader)
How can someone so fragile, be so strong? °☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆°☆° Disclaimer: This book will mention adult themes such as racial slurs, sexual assault/abuse, drug use, gore, harmful themes and gun violence. OC's featured Teka and Yoshino Todoroki created by @ackerbangbang on Instagram and Twitter. Updates 5 chapters at a time, when is random. I do not own any of the MHA/BNHA characters, credit goes to Horikoshi. Barely follows original plot. The characters I own are a few, plus quirks I've come up with inside this empty head. You are free to use the quirks I've made in this story in your own if you are looking for inspiration. I own none of the images unless I say so. They're cropped off of Google pinterest, and some other places, which I forgot. Cover art is an edited photo I made. That's all, go ahead and enjoy.

Screw You Kacchan
Izuku quit dreaming of becoming a pro hero after three times of being denied. He decided to screw it, and just be normal. He has part time jobs, he recently graduated, he has a car, a nice apartment. And the support from his mom. That is all he needs. What he doesn't need is his childhood bully showing up in his Pro Hero costume outside his door. Or outside the window to his jobs. Or anywhere near him to be honest. But Izuku can't catch a break as Bakugo keeps asking him to become a hero. "Come on. You can become a hero." Bakugo said moving to stand in front of Izuku. "No, bitch. Now move over so I can clean up this spot. Also, fuck you." Izuku retorted with a broom in his hand This is kind of like crack treated seriously. So don't take it too seriously at times.Complete
New Hope - MHA x Male reader
Y/n is a normal kid. Well somewhat normal. As he lives in a world where everyone has powers named 'quirks'. His quirk is one of a kind, and scientists and the hero commission knows it. As his quirk is strong as the other kids in their training facility. But they know that he needs an education, so why not put him in a prestigious high school called UA high? What could go wrong with that? . . . . Ok so listen, i (somewhat) love mha. Also i love genshin impact but hate what the state of the game is at right now. So why not pull a character from the game into mha? That's it, that's the premise of the entire thing. Also the character is *drum roll sounds* Arlecchino! So her lore and powers will be somewhat intertwined with your character! Anyway BYE! -?/??/25 mhastories - 2 -5/7/25- 1a - #2 -8/24/25- Bad writing - #1 (^I put this as a joke)

After graduating high school they noticed that they hadn't changed a bit from how they looked as a First year. After that they noticed they stopped aging. That was when they realized that that was their quirk. Though as they go to high school once again this class seems different from previous ones they've met. There was just something about them that's made y/n think that their quirk wasn't a curse. Maybe instead it was a blessing that they lived long enough to meet them. There will be sensitive topics talked about like suicide and self-harm. 01/20/2021 - 01/20/2022 gender neutral reader Highest Ranks #1 in Timeless #1 in Immortal #1 in Immortality #1 in mha #2 in mhafanfic ©Kohei Horikoshi ©-CRASHINGTHEMODEComplete
||An Unexpected Turn Of Events|| (If MHA/BNHA had a GC with (Y/n))
Back story... (Y/n) (L/n), a sixteen year old girl who dreamt of becoming a hero all of the time. She was born in Japan and lived there for 3 years only. When she was 3, her family moved to America because of her father's job. They stayed there for 3 years and came back to Japan due to (Y/n)'s grandfather's death. (Y/n)'s grandfather was a Pro-Hero in Japan. One of the best, in fact. He was in the top 20 Pro-Heroes. His Hero name was 'Manipulator' and his Quirk was Mind Manipulation. (Y/n) admired him a lot so when she heard that her family was going back to Japan, she wanted to tell him all about her Quirk. But sadly, when they got there, she was told that her grandfather died. They didn't stay there for long though, after their visit to Japan, they went back to America. Then 9 years later, (Y/n)'s parents decided to go back in Japan. To finally live there. (Y/n) was excited, thinking she'll not be homeschooled anymore because she was homeschooled all her life ever since her father's father's death. But due to strict parents, she continued homeschooling. 1 year later, she was bored. As always. So she decided to have a little fun around, only for her fate to turn around... !

Just don't look at me /// k.bakugou x OC
"What's it like? To have such a powerful quirk that with a snap of your fingers, you could conquer Japan, if not the entire world? You could be the most powerful villain in the world! Why don't you take advantage of that?" "That's not what heroes do." He looked at me, puzzled. "Heroes often die too, but that's the risk of the job you chose!" he shouted and fired the first shot. ------- Hi everyone! After looong 3 year break. I've decided to get back to writing, this will be a translation of my most viewed fanfic (My Hero Academia one, obvi) which I previously wrote in Czech back in 2019 (when I was actually 16), it was really sloppy writing and to be honest, I think I can capture emotions better in English, so get yourself something good to eat, and let's get into business! - Kaori Also, It's Bakugou x OC slow-burn, I have a place in my heart for that maniac even after all these years. how sweet ------Complete
