BakuDeku - Midoriya Izuku found himself quirkless and quickly at the non-existent mercy of his classmates as he entered middle school. Every day he survived, he was beating the odds, even as the bruises teased at his nerves through his skin, taunting him long after his tormentors' fists had last made physical contact. When he found the fighting ring, he expected to just become a living punching bag, really. He didn't expect people to look past his quirklessness and take him under their wing, essentially training their own competition. He didn't expect to get good at it, and he didn't expect to be noticed when he did.
When Izuku and Katsuki got accepted into UA, the class cheered for Katsuki and jeered at Izuku for daring to pretend to be in the same league as someone like Katsuki, even when Izuku only managed to make it into general studies. So, Katsuki went to UA, and Izuku quietly said, "thanks for the opportunity, but no thanks," and switched to an advanced online schooling option.
It was just the rule of the world, and rules were rules.
Some things couldn't be helped.
Besides...
He had a feeling UA would ask too many questions about the constant bruising blooming so beautifully across his face that Aldera staff had so pointedly ignored. And even if UA didn't ask questions about the bruises and abrasions on his face, they definitely would about the ones across his busted knuckles.
In the Pit, Midoriya Izuku didn't exist. In the Pit, he was Viper.
In the Pit, Viper was a quirkless fighter who still faced prejudice and bias, but everyone fought quirkless in the Pit, so at least it was a level playing field.
In the real world, Midoriya Izuku put on a smile and explained his bruises away on him being quirkless and finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In the Pit, Viper fought back viciously quick and calculating, earning every bruise and giving back just as many.
And sometimes he even won.

My Pulse, Your Track | BakuDeku
1. Go out with friends. 2. Enter an illegal racing arena. 3. Get separated from said friends. 4. Witness a hoverboard defy gravity like it's nothing. 5. Catch feelings for the green-haired champion who dominates the tracks and rides like he owns physics. This is a list of things you don't do in one night, in that specific order. Bakugou Katsuki does them all. In one night. In that specific order. He's not supposed to be here. He doesn't 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to be here. Doesn't belong in places like this, where neon bleeds into smoke and engines scream louder than thoughts. He was all but dragged by four unrelenting individuals. And he thinks the night can't go any more off-course. But Midoriya "Usagi" Izuku is fast---he flies like he's got nothing left to lose and everything to win---and when he sees him, riding like gravity's a choice, Katsuki forgets every reason he came. And every reason he should've left. _ Midoriya Izuku is a name the underground chants like gospel. He rides like the city's burning behind him. He wins like it's finish first or die. And yeah, he's good at a lot of things: tech, speed, strategy, defying gravity on a board he built with his own hands in middle school. For these reasons and then some, he owns the track. But nothing prepares him for the sharp-eyed stranger in the crowd who watches him like everyone around is frozen in time, him the only one in motion. All red eyes and tension and something sharp beneath that snarl. Or for when his rhythm almost stutters. Just once, barely a second. Barely something anyone else would notice. But it might as well be considered a natural disaster because Midoriya Izuku's rhythm never stutters. Neither of them is looking for a distraction. Especially not each other. But the city doesn't care what they want. The engines don't stop burning for their comfort. And fate? She's got a sick sense of humor. And, well, who doesn't laugh at a sick joke every once in a while?
A Familiar Voice
HIATUS What if Izuku Midoryia never met All Might, Never gained One For All, Never made it into UA, Lost hope to become a hero, even worse (in his opinion) lost all contact with his childhood tormentor/Crush 'Katsuki Bakugou'? What if Inko died, And aizawa found Izuku and took him in? Izuku grew up being bullied for wanting to be a hero, Why? Well because he's quirkless, which means he has no power at all and that makes the strong believe it's fun to bully him. Finally it's the end of Middle school Izuku is no longer left out and makes friends... Not the right ones though. He decided not to apply to his childhood dream school 'UA', so when his mother 'Inko Midoryia' told him they were moving to a town a little further away he was fine with it. At his new school believe it or not he was one of the strongest kids there, it was a school for only quirkless kids of course. He started working out and got a lot stronger, he would sometimes sneak out with his friends and workout out with them. As said before his friends wasn't the nice bubbly kids you think he would have, in fact their not even close. Izuku changed from middle school and started drinking and smoking, he also tended to get in fights with random people for looking at him wrong. Clearly different from when he was growing up. But when he's alone he just lays in his room wondering what it's be like if he still aimed for UA, if he would have friends that was like his old personality, would he still be around bakugou, would he have even been accepted to UA? ⚠️WARNINGS⚠️ -BakuDeku -Sorta badass deku -underage smoking/drinking -dead inko -dadzawa -slightly sad katsuki -gaynessComplete
Yes, I am Signing About You (TodoBaku)
Katsuki Bakugou was almost completely deaf. He could barely hear his own explosions anymore, but that didn't stop him from trying to become a pro hero. He couldn't wait to prove everyone wrong when they said he couldn't be a hero because of his hearing loss. He manages to pass the UA entrance exams and gets accepted, along with his childhood friend, Midoriya. They're placed in class 1-A with the luck that the home room teacher actually knows asl. The transition from middle school to high school isn't the smoothest. Navigating through high school and the pro hero world is hard for someone with all five senses, let alone someone who couldn't hear. Katsuki stumbles... a lot. When Midoriya catches him staring at the duel haired boy in their class during training, he's quick to tease him for it. They sign quickly, Katsuki's movements for aggressive than normal. They gain the attention of Shoto Todoroki, who in turn, stares back. It was obvious that they were signing about him, but he had no clue what they were saying. Katsuki catches on to the staring and signs at him, even though he can't understand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katsuki turns to the taller boy, clearly in a pissed off mood. "Yes, I am signing about you." He signs at him, knowing that he won't understand him anyway. Midoriya's laugh was heard through the training ground as he saw what his friend signed. Shoto looked at him, completely lost. "He says that yes, he is signing about you." He translated. Understanding takes over Shoto's features as Katsuki realizes what Midoriya must have just done. "Deku!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Updated on Wednesday and the weekends) TodoBaku anyone??Complete![Villain's Origins || A Twist in Time [Boku no Hero Academia Villain Au Book 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/283780444-256-k605671.jpg)
Villain's Origins || A Twist in Time [Boku no Hero Academia Villain Au Book 1]
WARNING: Viewer discretion advised. This story contains descriptions of murder, suicide, sex, and other mature content. Spoilers also ahead. ~~ What if Deku wasn't born quirkless? What if the reason for Katsuki's hurtful words had to do with the dark past Inko desperately tried to keep hidden from the outside world? What if becoming a hero wasn't the answer after all? ~~ My eyes widen. "I've decided. Young man, you will inherit my quirk." I let out a sigh of relief, laying down on the ground as my anxiety fades. I'm overwhelmed with joy, tears streaming down my face as my body is overcome with brutal exhaustion. I don't plan on using this power to become a hero, but All Might doesn't need to know that. I can't think of being a hero, or anything else for now. I need to get stronger, even stronger than my father. Wait for me mom, Kacchan, I'm coming. ~~ After that night, things only became harder for Izuku. The mental pressure was too much, to the extent that it took an unhealthy turn. Izuku could barely handle the pressure of having no one to rely on, torn between becoming a hero and being taught how to assassinate by the killer of heroes. It wasn't long before his sanity began to split. ~~ "It's okay. Honestly, you're the first person I've met who doesn't think my quirk is more suited to become a villain.." Shinsou said. After spending so much time with villains, I no longer thought of the word the same. "If you ask villains their story, you'll probably think they'd make pretty good protagonists. We always see things from the hero's perspective but we rarely ask how the villain ended up the way they are. The heroes are the real villains if you ask any villain, and even villains can be a hero to someone." ~~ I killed someone. I know he deserved it, yet I still couldn't look down at my own hands the same. Dried blood covered the bandages I wore around my wrists when I train with Stain. I had no choice but to accept it. I became a hero killer.Complete![Missing Piece |DKBK AU| [ENG]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/340176109-256-k456250.jpg)
Missing Piece |DKBK AU| [ENG]
One single factor could completely change what we all know. I mean, it's an alternative universe for a reason. Izuku Midoriya never had the OFA, never was at the UA, and saw Katsuki Bakugo for the last time when they graduated middle school. Each one took their path, lived, learned and worked for their own goals; there isn't that much of a story behind that lapse of time. Or is it? Katsuki Bakugo made plenty of mistakes in the past, even though he didn't even got to see them at the time. It will all answer itself as soon as Izuku reappears; however, accepting it can be more difficult than he even thought it might. Life is a constant change, and if you're truly willing to receive that with an open heart... It may be something nice. Or.., it may be not. (AU) Quirkless Izuku. Characters do not belong to me. The cover, animations in the fic and the plot itself are entirely mine. ⚠️ This fanfic has mature content, proceed with caution and under your own responsibility.Complete
From Vigilante to Hero (Vigilante Izuku Fanfic) (Discontinue & being rewritten)
Izuku Midoriya was born with multiple quirks but couldn't actively use them because his body couldn't handle them plus he couldn't tell anyone or he would be targeted by many villains if word got out that he had multiple quirks. His mother and the quirk doctor were the only ones who knew this besides Izuku. Not only that but because none of his quirks would activate until later he couldn't prove to have one thus he was labeled as quirkless by his peers and school. Understanding the danger of having multiple quirks Izuku just pretends to be quirkless but trains hard taking up dance, martial arts, and gymnastics training his body for when he awakens his quirks. When he is 12 his mother died protecting him from a villain. Seeing his mother's death with his own eyes led to him awakening his quirks and his grandfather takes guardianship of him. After his mother's death Izuku chooses to become a vigilante who saves all those he can. After a few years later Izuku is 15 and in his last year in middle school. Everyone still believes him to be a quirkless loser but in truth, Izuku holds many secrets. Izuku wasn't planning on going to the UA Hero course instead he plan to go into their Support Course. However, things don't always go as planned when one day while walking to school Izuku saves a child from being hit by a car not knowing Nezu was watching the entire time. Later when doing a drop to give a certain underground hero information he is caught. After that he is taken in for interrogation, told he will be going into the UA hero course, and even gets adopted by Nedzu. However, just cause he force to enter UA doesn't mean he will stop doing his vigilante work.Complete
My Blond Soulmates
Izuku Midoriya had always had the short end of the stick, wether it went from tripping in public or he's quark or lack of quark he always got the short end of it. So you can imagine he's surprise when he finds out he has 2 soulmates when he was expecting none at all. But of course one of them just had to be he's childhood bully/friend, when he found that out he went to great lengths to make sure he never found out, and when he found he's other soulmate he didn't believe that he'd want him due to all the bulling he went threw, so he didn't tell him ether Over the years as he grew up he started to take a liking to inventing! Just like he's father, Hisashi. So instead of trying for the hero course he gose for the support course, which he gets in with flying colors!

UA's youngest teacher
As you may or may not have deduced from the title and story image you probably know that this is about Izuku who managed to become a teacher at UA, the most famous school for hero's in Japan. Amazing right? One would think. About a year ago, if you had told Izuku that he would be teaching at UA. He probably wouldn't have believed you, hell he still didn't. Because let's be honest, what was a 15 year old, quirkless, trauma filled, emotionally unstable boy doing being a teacher to a bunch of teenagers his age and older? No idea? Neither did he. Izuku knew he was unlucky to some extent, from not having a quirk to his best friend leaving him. But now? Honestly he didn't know if these last few months were his good or bad luck playing. Ok, he was now in UA, maybe not the way he had expected, but it counted. But was it really good luck if he no longer wanted to be a hero? He had thrown out that dream, after all, why save a society that was already ruined? Light can't live without darkness, so it's not like stopping some villains would help way to much when they both had to exist at the end anyway. Look, he saw sense, All Might wasn't God, he wasn't always right. He was sure if he tried hard enough he could be a hero. Hell, he knew for sure, but that knowledge didn't help him now. So he did not, in fact, know wether meeting principal Nezu and him being half forced into a teacher position was quite good. His will to be a teacher was not high, and his will to live was lower. He wouldn't chase after death though, that was death's job, not his. Instead he would watch and wait to see what would happen to the people around him, maybe pitching in and helping when he felt like it. (AN: Idk how this will go so wish me luck. As surprising as it is MHA and all its characters do not belong to me! All and any masterpieces of art used are not mine, credits go to the artworks respectful owners.

Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo have known each other for as long as they can remember, united by a shared dream: to form a band together.

Violent Love (Izujiro) (Sociopathic Izuku x Depressed Jiro)
(First off Izuku isn't totally a sociopath just think of it like Karma Akabane's Sociopathacy. He just has the tendencies like low empathy, charisma, lack of inhibition and love for violence. But he love his classmates and the fact on becoming a hero. He also is a pretty fun character.) Izuku Midoriya is a late bloomer for his quirk. But they're is a reason for that. His quirk came out to be quirks he was born with two which is why he was a late bloomer and on top of that they are both mutations.

After that he started acting differently in school. That when it manifested. It started when his childhood friend turned bully Katsuki Bakugo was talking shit about him and Izuku slammed a bottle over his head and stabbed the bottle on the wall through Bakugo's sleeve.
