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.

You'll Never Be A Hero [Villain Deku AU]
[Completed! Highest ranking is #31 in villaindeku!! Thank you so much! :)] Perhaps it's not the best idea to pass on a quirk to someone who's dream you just crushed, they could've already started planning something. Izuku Midoriya was always a kid dedicated to his dream of becoming a hero, even if it was far, far away from reach. But after having a terrible day as is, his idol said he could never reach it because he was too weak. Well, that was the last straw for him, and from then on he gave up on his previous dream, and started a new one, one that would prove them all right, in the worst way possible. And his used to be idol was stupid enough to give him his quirk, on top of that he got another from his new leader, so now he had more power than little him ever could dream of. And with that power, he would do the worst things, and make everyone fear what he was capable of •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I present to you all, almost the plot of the My Hero Academia anime (so far in 2021), but told by Deku if he was a villain.

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

Pick a Side /Villain! Deku/ ✔
"Do you think.... That I could be a hero too? Even... without a quirk?" "Without a quirk? Not happening, kid." All his life Izuku Midoriya dreamed of becoming a hero just like his biggest inspiration, All Might. It didn't matter if he was quirkless... Right? One day, the young boy got to meet his hero. He asks the question he'd been dying to ask, but afraid of knowing the answer nevertheless. The answer crushed him. That was the day he let go of his dreams. Izuku Midoriya, the quirkless loser. That's what he'd always be. No one believed in him anymore. Not even himself. Until... The league of villains offered him acceptance. They told him that he WAS good enough. 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
ᴜ.ᴀ's ʀᴇʜᴀʙɪʟɪᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ | ᴛʜᴇ ᴠɪʟʟᴀɪɴs' ʜᴇʀᴏ
Izuku Midoriya once dreamed of becoming a hero. But after being diagnosed as quirkless, everything changed. His classmates turned their backs on him. His relatives kept their distance. Even his childhood friend left him behind. At home, the abuse was constant. At school, the bullying never stopped. To the world, Izuku wasn't just powerless-he was worthless. After one especially brutal day, something inside him broke. Standing on the edge of his school's rooftop, he nearly gave up for good. But someone intervened. Someone who saw him, and offered him a place among others who had been discarded by society. Now, Izuku faces a choice: abandon everything and become what the world always accused him of being-or return to the life that made him want to disappear. But things take an unexpected turn when he's sent to a rehabilitation program-inside U.A., the very school he once longed to attend. Surrounded by students who still believe in justice, Izuku is forced to confront the parts of himself he thought he'd buried. Is there still hope left in him to become something more-or has he already become the thing he feared most? ___________________________________________________________________ ⚠️Trigger Warnings⚠️ This story includes content that may be triggering to readers.

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

~completed.~ Izuku Midoriya. A name that has been long forgotten. Another statistic. Another reason for a 'we can't save them all' speech. He was bullied and abused all his life for something he couldn't control. Everyone thought he was quirkless, even him. But when he is attacked by the sludge villain he finds out he does have a power. A power that he will use to make the world feel the darkness he was feeling over his heart all these years. Controlling shadows. Once he finds this out he doesn't return home. He trains and gets stronger every minute. Working on his quirk. Killing Heros and receiving the name The Devil. No one knows his true intentions when he gets recruited to work for the LOV as a spy in U.A Tomura doesn't know he is being used. All The Devil wants to do... is watch the world that wronged him fall. And enjoy the world suffer with his lover by his side.
