Ever since he was little, Midoriya has carried around the weight of so many things around with him: his father abandoning him at a young age, the memories of the ruthless bullying and abuse he endured from his peers, and facing the fact he was born Quirkless and he'd always be different from everyone else... however, he's also wanted to be a hero ever since he was little, and watching those fearless heroes risk their lives to protect the people, he's observed another thing: heroes don't cry.

After meeting All Might and inheriting One for All, Midoriya thought his burden would be lessened now that he's not so visibly different... but as All Might's strength deteriorated and the underbelly of villain society became visible to him, the weight of everything became so strong it threatened to crush him.

As the internal storm inside Midoriya grows, he's struggling to keep it all inside. He's been launched into a deep depression, and he destroys himself to keep anything from spilling out. However, some things can't be hidden forever, and as he spirals farther and farther downward, his self-destruction comes to a breaking point and becomes visible to everyone. 

Of course, Midoriya's friends and teachers try to support him the best he can - but in the end, it's his choice to make. To find his way out of this, he needs to choose to save himself in order to keep saving others and reach his goal of being a pro hero; and sometimes, that's the bravest, most heroic thing you can do.

Ever since Izuku Midoriya joined U.A. High School and settled in, he knew that the League of Villains were after him and his quirk: One For All. However, when the time comes when Bakugo is the target and is only seconds away from being captured, Midoriya throws himself in the chaos and ends up saving Bakugo, only at the cost of his own safety as he is captured instead. Midoriya is brought back to the League of Villains' hideout and with him there, Shigaraki plans on changing the young boy's mindset and plans to use force against him. When Midoriya isn't able to escape for three years and no one can seem to find him, he begins to lose hope and his wounds only bleed more. Even when he goes back in time with the help of a pro hero's quirk, he is diagnosed with depression and struggles to go on through life. He doesn't feel like himself. He needs someone. He needs someone so badly. But what if there isn't anybody to help Midoriya? How will Midoriya cope when someone close to him dies right in his arms? Warning! This story will contain depression, suicide talk, torture (not explained explicitly), violence, and a whole lot of angst! Also, this story won't contain any ships. So, there isn't any BakuDeku, TodoDeku, etc., it's just a depressing story with Midoriya with his friends trying to change themselves to help him and their own selves in the future.
