"What happens on Earth, stays on Earth and you cannot take those feelings with you so hope that they all disperse."
Ezra Thomas, a quiet yet compelling African-American teen, has always carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. Raised by a strong, single mother after his father walked out on them when Ezra was just a baby, he learned early on that life wasn't easy. His introverted, enigmatic nature made him a target for bullying, but deep down, Ezra possessed something no one else could see - an untapped quirk with unimaginable potential.
"Under Pressure" is a tale of self-discovery, perseverance, and the strength to rise above one's circumstances. Ezra's journey to become a hero is just beginning, and the challenges ahead will push him to his limits. But with each surge of power and every hard-earned victory, Ezra inches closer to finding out just how strong he is.

Bnhaxreader/oc Your pathetic life comes to an end just to start with a new and rebranded one, into your favorite show! My Hero Academia! Your new identity: Akane Sato! And accompanied with a game system! What a corny story set up! You do not know how that happened, neither do you care as much anymore. However, you pace through the story thinking that it's all a dream, a never-ending dream! Well, not for long. You started noticing the dark corners of the room. There is a lot to unfold. What happens when an omniscient and ominous "being" controls your life? Warning! This story contains extremely triggering topics and unhealthy depictions of relationships, so stay away if you do not like it. Or don't. I don't care. I do not support any of the unhealthy dynamics, it's just hot in fiction. If you or somebody you know is experiencing similar conditions, get help. Reach out to your trusted ones or the police. Do not be afraid. ©kohei horikoshi;mha

Cafe Arcane
After the death of his father, Izuku's mother remarries Toshinori Yagi-better known as All Might. What was supposed to be a new family becomes a lifelong curse. His stepfather's shadow looms over him, and his younger half-sibling, adored by everyone, only deepens his isolation. Despite years of training and study, society still brands him as weak-"the powerless stepson of the Symbol of Peace." When his dream of heroism is crushed by All Might himself, Izuku leaves everything behind to live with his paternal grandparents in the countryside. There, he uncovers a forgotten world-one of spirits, yokai, and ancient magic hidden beneath Japan's soil. Years later, Izuku returns as a man forged in the supernatural. He opens a quiet bookstore-café by day, but by night he acts as an Arcane Guardian-a hero who deals with curses, malevolent spirits, and the darkness society refuses to see. UA, now a university for elite hero studies, soon takes notice of the mysterious new "magical hero" making waves in the underground. And fate, as always, draws Izuku back toward the people who once broke him.

Redline (My Hero Academia OC Story)
"The people who put a perfect victory over consequences are the coolest Heroes!" In a society both blessed and cursed with the phenomenon known as Quirk's, the world everyone knew would be shaped into lifting Hero culture above all, and igniting the comic book dreams everyone had as children. Becoming a Hero. Kaiseki Shindou is one of these blessed, possessing a Quirk many would dream to have. And one he intends to use to become the coolest Hero... in spite of his moral and personal shortcomings. But the path he dreams to follow isn't as blessed as he hopes. After all, Quirk's do not choose who to bless. Their only fairness is in it's randomness of who gets what power, and they do not care of morals and circumstances. This paves the journey for the Kinetic Hero with Villains... and Monsters... -------------------- This book is a rewrite of a previous Male Reader Insert I once did. But although it will tell a similar story, I hope to write a far more improved narrative based on what I've learned, with a more in depth main character. If you're coming from that old book, welcome back, and sorry for the wait. Do let me know your thoughts if you have any, and I hope you enjoy!
Underestimated (MHA x Male Reader)
A MHA x Reader Insert story. You were born with a very unique quirk. A quirk with a lot of mystery. What it lacked in power, it more than made up for in resourcefulness. As a child, this quirk helped you make friends and kept you the center of attention. Unfortunately, people never saw what it was really capable of. So, after reaching junior high, it was viewed as useless. You were told repeatedly that you could never be a Hero. But you're not a quitter. You will prove them wrong. NOTE: Much of this fanfic is written from a first person perspective of the Reader Character. This is for the sake of immersion. You may or may not enjoy that perspective. Thanks. I do not own My Hero Academia, it's characters, or any of the images in the chapters. 8/27/23 #2 in mha #2 in malereader 4/23/24 #1 in class1a 5/13/24 #1 in boku 6/29/24 #2 in quirk 9/9/24 #1 in malereader 12/23/24 #3 in anime 12/28/24 #1 in mhaxreader 1/14/25 #1 in insert 12/18/25 #1 in bnha
