Izuku Midoriya never got the chance to save Bakugo from the sludge villain and impress All Might. With his dream crushed, Izuku becomes bitter and angry. It also doesn't help that he faces discrimination at every turn.
All he ever wanted was to be appreciated, so when the villains are the ones to recognize his talents rather than the heroes, well, Izuku just can't resist. He might as well help those who actually want him around.
Mistakes were made, and now society must face a villain of their own making: Mastermind.

No Love, Just InSaNiTy (Book 1)
Izuku Midoriya was bullied and looked upon as a waste of space for the majority of his life. It only got worse when everyone found out that he was quirkless. From then on the kind-hearted soul started to turn dark. He was given a chance to redeem himself and with this chance he plans to make Bakugo suffer the same way he made him suffer. This is basically a "what if" story of what would have happened if Izuku had never talked to All Might. This story progresses kind of slowly so it's going to be a bit long. Will contain themes like suicide, depression, gore, etc. Read at your own risk!!! Nothing belongs to me except the plot. So enjoy~Complete

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

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

But does Midoriya truly belong as a villain? It may be time for him to pick to side... COMPLETED/ August 14, 2019 !Trigger Warning! This story contains blood, violence, gore, strong language, and some sadistic stuff I guess? xD Read at your own risk! Cover image art isn't mine, however, I did do the editing for it! Also, the characters in this fanfiction aren't mine at all either! [Okay, so ships. There is Tododeku and Bakudeku in here. But to be clear, it's not a huge part of the plot so if you came here for it, you might be somewhat disappointed, which is why I'm saying it. I got rid of the tags for them cuz I didn't want to disappoint people but now people think this is a straight story somehow so I'm putting the tags back out to weed out the homophobes B)]Complete

As You Wish
DISCLAIMER: My Hero Academia doesn't belong to me but Horikoshi. This book will contain graphic depictions of violence, foul language, and abandonment [DISCONTINUED!!] Being rewritten under the title "'As you wish' snarls the desperate man" ________________ "You're playing me as a killer? As you wish" he snides bitterly, harsh glare swirling in his green pools. Toshinori flinched at the words, worry pooling in his gut. Regret weighted heavily on him, as if stones were dropped on his emancipated form. Taking the strand of green hair, he gets up from his seat, placing it in his mouth and swallowing. Izuku Midoriya watched his old mentor's retreating form, cuffed hands sitting in front of him, knuckles white and fingers curled into a fist. If they wanted a villain, they'll get one, even if he didn't do these crimes, he'll make them regret this. Turning towards the officer besides him he spoke, "I don't want visits from Inko or Toshinori" he informed numbly, voice dull and eyes fading from the glare. The only confirmation he got was a nod, then he was escorted back to his cell. Izuku swore upon himself, that they would pay. ________________ Started: Aug 16, 2020 Published: Finish:Complete

Crossing Lines in the Sand
Midoriya Izuku was many things: unassuming, ostracized, idealistic. A boy as forgettable as a crack in the sidewalk. The perfect scapegoat for anyone looking to get ahead. Despite the odds, he had spent his whole life loving, admiring, and studying heroes, hoping to find a way to rise above his circumstances. But the world isn't black and white, and admiration isn't enough to keep reality from creeping in. An ambush, a rush of emotions, and he finally reached his breaking point: a realization that'd been a long time in the making. The world turns. Convictions change, and options dwindle. Still, there's no place to hide when the ugly truths reveal themselves. And survival might be the only thing that remains. Pretending. Letting go. Running. My Hero Academia is owned by Kōhei Horikoshi. Cross-posted from Ao3 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/67176466/chapters/173481661) Art is mine, and I used Krita and Canva.
