eRr0r! (Vigilante Izuku Midoriya Story)
It's not bad to dream......just make sure it is realistic. Izuku always wanted to be a hero, but in a world where 80% of the population have 'quirks' no one believes it is possible due to being apart of the unfortunate 20%. If he can't be a hero then become a vigilante. Wait! All Might just offered his quirk! Wait! I got into UA! Maybe I can become a hero........ but I'm already a vigilante....... Welp, I guess i'll have to keep it a secret then. No one will suspect me. Original Izuku but is secretly a vigilante. Hope you enjoy (∩^o^)⊃━☆Complete

"Come Into My Office. Yes, The Restroom."
All Midoriya Izuku wanted to do was to do good in school―U.A. General Studies, at that―and keep up with his part-time job, but all these weird hero students keep popping up―is that a depressed villain sitting in the corner booth? If a few cases of missing pets and items came up, he can deal with that, but listening to a villain share his tragic anime backstory isn't in his job description. Cover picture done by my friend.

No matter how many heroes fail at the task, or how many people tell him it's unreasonable to expect to find Izuku alive, or the death date on the gravestone with nothing beneath it, he knows he's right. He knows his best friend is still out there, still alive, still waiting. ******** Somewhere deep in the underground, the League of Villains is scrounging together forces. Misery, one of the current most prolific, unidentified villains in the underground, supposed second hand of the League, has an exciting year planned.

Midoriya became the number one hero and the new symbol of peace, while also finding a way to make things work with his long time girlfriend (now fiance) Uraraka. However, they always say there's a calm before the storm and one day, while Midoriya was sent off to another town for some investigation, his life takes an unexpected turn when pro hero Uravity is attacked by a new group of villains and loses her life. Now having to face the crushing reality of his fiance's death and keeping on a bright smile as the number one pro, Midoriya is losing it.

Below the Surface | SPY AU
If there's one thing Izuku never imagined becoming after losing One For All, was to be forgotten. Now a professor at U.A. High, he spends his days teaching and his nights haunted by the life he left behind. He tells himself the quiet is enough, but the ache of his past-of failed dreams, lost purpose, and a failed relationship with his best friend that crumbled under the weight of their differences-refuses to fade. When a stranger steps out of the shadows with an offer Izuku can't ignore, he's thrust into a hidden world of corruption and power. Beneath the polished hero rankings and dazzling debuts lies a web of lies spun by the Hero Commission and government officials-a system built on control, manipulation, and sacrifice. As Izuku uncovers the truth, his world begins to crumble. Faced with a choice between the life he's built and the chance to truly make a difference, Izuku must decide: will he cling to the legacy of the hero he once was, or risk everything to fight in the shadows?
Compulsion
Midoriya Izuku has been set back further than any other point in his life. If All-Might says he cant be a Hero, what chance does he have? He has to give up and move forward. No matter the pain... An extensive knowledge of Heroes and their world has its uses elsewhere. However, can he truly abandon that need to be a Hero? Can he deny himself that? Or will he give to his compulsion? Yes, I understand the Cover is a bit pretentious. It's almost midnight, give me a break.
