Midoriya Izuku can be described as a painfully average individual.

Plain Looking.

Dull quirk

And Lack of social skills.

In the ever-changing world, he was a constant-the unchangeable.

But what happens when the constant is changed, how will this affect the variables?

Or:

To abandon his painful past, Midoriya Izuku lives the life of a background character (reluctantly). What happens when he's tired of it?



 I don't own the cover art!!!!

Note: this is an aot x BNHA crossover, it might not seem like it initially. But, yeah it delves a bit into aot later on especially since Izuku has a titan.

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.
