A moment later All Might had leapt away into the sky, Izuku tried to speak, there was so much he wanted to ask him. But when he saw the retreating figure of All Might he felt a deep disappointment well up in his chest. Why couldn't he speak? Why couldn't he pluck up the courage to ask All Might if someone quirkless could be a hero?
-----
A new take on an old trope. A fresh pair of eyes to try and revitalize a trope not many people seem to want to write about.
Loneliness. Not just surface level, deep seeded societal rejection. This isn't just an examination of a what if. This is the story of a boy who despite being ignored and told "you don't belong" retains the desire to do good for the sake of doing good. The friends he makes along the way? Some come and go; a few stay for a while. One stays forever.

The Fire That Made Me (Izuocha) (Collaboration with : @UmmeZainab4)
Izuku Midoriya was born with a combination of his mother's small telekinesis and his dad's fire breathing quirks, and merged into a very powerful pyrokinesis. But it's more complicated, it's connected to his emotions, if he got to excited in any way, his whole body will catch on fire. People around him are scared of him and ridicule him for it. Even Bakugou doesn't want to be around him. He just decides to distance himself from everyone, until in the 1st grade a certain bobbed haired gravity girl greets him. This is my first fanfic. I'm not confident in my my writing ability. So if you have something to say about my writing ability, shut it. I do not own My Hero Academia or its characters.

Reality's Hero: Izuku Visionary Rise
"A boy who can create anything... except emotion." In a world where imagination births heroes and monsters alike, Izuku Midoriya was born different. Not quirkless - but emotionless. A rare neurological disorder called alexithymia left him unable to feel fear, joy, or even compassion. To him, heroism isn't passion - it's calculation. At age four, his quirk awakened. The world called it impossible. The Hero Commission called it dangerous. "Imagination." A power that bends the very fabric of existence - allowing Izuku to manifest anything he envisions. Steel mountains, cloned armies, erased gravity - his mind dictates reality itself. But while others would lose themselves to madness or fear, Izuku's cold logic keeps his universe intact. His lack of emotion is his shield - and his curse. Now, at U.A. High, Izuku stands apart from the hopeful heroes around him. He doesn't dream of saving people for admiration. He acts because it's efficient. Logical. Correct. Yet, as his powers evolve, so does the risk - for every thought he imagines has the potential to rewrite the world itself. And in his quiet mind, something stirs... A whisper of feeling he cannot define. A fragment of imagination that might just be - a heart.
𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 ~ MHA/Dadzawa ONESHOT
Basically, It's another story about Aizawa finding out about the bullying problems Midoriya has had/ is having. Also includes Present Mic and All Might being worried dads. _ When Midoriya finally made it into UA, He knew it would be different. He wasn't sure how much, but it had to be different! Of course, the work and how the school works would be different, but he hoped the people there would be different, too. Mostly because he had a quirk now. He wasn't useless anymore and he was definitely not quirkless anymore. In all honesty, Midoriya didn't expect all the kindness he was receiving from his peers and teachers. Surely, the teachers knew he was quirkless beforehand, right? If they knew.. then why didn't they hate him? Besides All Might, he expected them to dislike him. (Midoriya only thought All Might cared because he used to be quirkless too.. but it was better than nothing.) However, with his friends, he was happier. He didn't even know how to act around friends, but he tried.. Even if deep down Midoriya knew he couldn't trust anybody-- And he didnt trust anybody-- he still tried. Oh well, why didn't he trust them? Simple. He had the mindset that, 'If they knew he was quirkless, it would be middle school all over again.' He was protecting himself, just in case they found out. If they found out and stopped being friends with him, well it would be okay. He was prepared. He had to be. So, in the end, he didn't tell anybody about his old quirkless ways. Not that he had to tell anybody, right? He had a quirk, so it shouldn't matter anymore, right? Wrong. Who says the bullying and its effects ever go away? How would he ever be able to explain the messages he gets during the day from old classmates? How would he ever explain that it's all getting to him more than he knows it should? _ [My Hero Academia belongs to Kohei Horikoshi] I might make a second chapter, but if I don't it's still complete!Complete
The warrior that brings hope

Falling (Depressed Deku Fanfic) (COMPLETE)
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.

Everything Is Falling Apart ( But At Least I Have You)
It wasn't supposed to go like this. Izuku was supposed to achieve his dream of becoming a hero, like All Might. He was supposed to become a hero with Kacchan by his side. He was supposed to become a hero alongside all of his friends in Class 1A. But... That's not how his story went. Accused of something he didn't do, Izuku Midoriya was expelled from UA. His friends mourned the loss of his presence at UA, but there was little they could do to bring him back. After all, it had been the Hero Commission who had forced him out, and a few teenagers weren't much in face of a government agency. So they silently mourned the loss of one of the class's leaders, going about their days. Well, except for a select few who would do anything, including ignoring the highest authority they worked under, to get their friend back. *All Characters belong to Kohei Horikoshi.*Complete
