Which is better: small shapes of big ones? Which one will Maki choose? What will be the cost?
Maki Zenin, the black sheep of her family, makes the monumental decision to enroll at U.A. high and become a pro hero, despite being quirkless, to prove her arrogant family wrong. To prove that you don't need quirks to be strong. To prove that she isn't a "failure" or a "disgrace". To prove she can be just as strong as everyone else. However, Maki knows her journey won't be simple and she will have to overcome many obstacles to achieve her dream. Some obstacles won't be what she expects and may have consequences that she never could've imagined; they could change everything for her. What path will she ultimately choose? What will be the cost?

The Silent Affinity (All Might x Reader)
From a distant continent, a transfer student set her sights on becoming a hero in Japan. With a powerful quirk that remains unexplained, she embarks on an exciting journey to secure a spot in UA. Prospering to become the Greatest Hero in History Age Difference: 8-Canon difference Disclaimer: This story may contain triggers such as family problems and abuse. 🍋 scenes may occur in later chapters and will be clearly marked. The story will also include wholesome moments and character growth. It will take time for the story to build up cuz really it's a slow process. (Slow Burn) 🌜I've recently reworked an older story I wrote a while back. Some parts of it may seem familiar if you've read it before, but I've been steadily building up the characters and story at my own pace. I believe that taking time to develop meaningful moments with the main character (you) helps create a more immersive and engaging experience.🌛 (Universe 1) None of these characters or even the name "My Hero Academia"-MHA doesn't belong to me like everyone should know they belong to Kohei Horikoshi

Underestimated (MHA x Male Reader)
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.

And further, it doesn't take long for roles of "Heroes" and "Villains" to rise up as well. But... Who coins one as a "hero" or a "villain"...? The person themselves...? Or the people around them...?

His only light in this darkness being his mother, is willing to do whatever it takes to keep that smile she treasures so much to never leave the boy's face. But... Being a human at the end of the day, she can only do so much. Follow Kageyama through his journey to becoming one of the greatest heroes in the entirety of Japan. What awaits him on this journey? Friends? Love? Hardships? That's for you to find out.

Love In Reverse.
My Hero Academia AU. Zatanna Zatara, a boy with a very unique quirk. By speaking backwards he is able to perform magic. Accompanying him is his best friend Uraraka, they've been together since they were kids who could barely walk. Their dreams were the same- to become heros and help people. Although Uraraka did it for money to help her parents her persue of this dream was admirable and Zatanna respected her for it. Zatanna wanted to make his father proud, his dad was quirkless but he did some things even more heroically than some heros did. Zatanna wanted to attend U.A and make a name for himself and help everyone he could. But one thing he didn't see coming was making amazing friends along the way and a large number of Villians attacks no one should ever experience. He surprised himself too... When he looked into the eyes of a certain blue haired boy who towered over him. "How do you manage to talk backwards so easily?" Denki asked with his head tilted slightly. "Maybe backwards is my native tongue." Zatanna replied smoothly. Denki just raised a questioning eyebrow and shrugged, "Fair enough!" You both laughed as you nudged his shoulder. Mha content belongs to its rightful owner. This concept with Zatanna in Mha was not my idea. I'm just doing it my own way Zatanna is a male in this story, and this is a Iida love story cause my good boy deserves more love 💙. Started: June 27, 2021 Finished: August 08, 2021Complete

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!"

His dream school? UA High. The same school his idol and favorite hero, All Might had graduated from. But unbeknownst to him, he belongs to a family of villains.

*NEW VERSION BEING MADE!* Izuku midoriya. A kid who just wanted to be a hero. Unfortunately, nature must hate him. In this topsy turvy world, women are the only people who have powers, called quirks. And well, he wasn't one. He was bullied, he was made fun of, he was slightly depressed, and he lost all hope after being told he couldn't be a hero by his favorite heroine, All mighty. However, he still did get into the UA School, the school for heroines, just not as a heroine, obviously. He was just there cause there was no other school that would take him.

I'm No Hero (My Hero Academia Fanfic)
When U.A. High opened its doors for the first time, everyone wanted to go there. With the entire staff being made of top heroes, both retired ones and ones still working, it was basically guaranteed going there meant becoming a top hero. It's also a place that could attract a lot of villains. The only person that wasn't interested in it was me. I know in today's society, it was almost unheard of to not want to be a hero. I just had to make that mistake in applying to the school. Why would I apply to a school I didn't want to go to? Because my family expected me to be the next top hero. But I'm no hero. Status: Complete. Disclaimer: I do not own the world of My Hero Academia. I only own the story concept and the characters (as no characters from the show show up. Sorry, but this story takes place before then). Warning: strong language, violence (though, not to the scale that the show gets), scary sequences. The amazing cover was made by the wonderful @Jun_Penguin_. The beautiful Sakura Sakai Banner, Kaito Oba, Raiden Yamamoto, and Tami Smith banners were made by the talented @sun_jin The Ollie Davis banner was by me.Complete
