"Shifting Dreams" is a story about Kuroshi, a reserved and introspective hero-in-training at U.A. High School who possesses the ability to shapeshift into almost anything. While his power is impressive, it comes with challenges, particularly the toll it takes on his stamina and the need for precise control. The narrative explores Kuroshi's struggles with his quirk, his quiet moments of solace in his feline form, and the relationships that keep him grounded-like the bond with his pet cat, Kuro, and the lighthearted yet supportive friendship with Kaminari.
As the story progresses, Kuroshi's admiration for Aizawa grows, and a cryptic message from his teacher hints at an opportunity to prove himself. Through intense training sessions with Aizawa, Kuroshi begins to confront the limitations of his quirk, learning that control and self-trust are as essential as raw power. The tale weaves moments of vulnerability, quiet determination, and camaraderie as Kuroshi pushes himself to master his abilities and uncover his potential.
"Shifting Dreams" is a heartfelt exploration of personal growth, resilience, and the quiet strength found in both solitude and connection.

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.

My Quirkless Hero (an mha alternate story)
(New Chapters once or twice during the week.) Izuku has dreamt his entire life on being a superhero, a common goal for many who have superpowers known as quirks but difficult for people like Izuku. In a world where 80% of the population has a quirk, Izuku Midoriya wasn't born with one, but that wont stop him from entering into the UA, one of the most prestigious superhero schools. For years, the quirkless have been banned from joining any form of superhero school, and Izuku has been one of the first few to have been admitted into the hero course without a quirk. With his keen intellect in machinery and being a passionate builder since he was young, Izuku hopes to use these traits of his to become the first quirkless hero, hoping to fully show the world that truly anyone can be a hero. BEST RANKINGS: 1# In Izuocha! (These characters don't belong to me, and instead belong to the original author Kohei Horikoshi who created my hero academia. I'm simply trying to write a what if story on how my hero academia would have looked like if Horikoshi had done a quirkless Midoriya story instead, which was his original take on the story! It's also meant to be a revision on the original manga, improving some things or extending certain arcs or characters. If I use any images or artwork, all credits go towards the original artists. Now sit back, and enjoy the story!)
No Love, Just InSaNiTy (Book 1)
Izuku Midoriya was bullied and looked upon as a waste of space for the majority of his life. It only got worse when everyone found out that he was quirkless. From then on the kind-hearted soul started to turn dark. He was given a chance to redeem himself and with this chance he plans to make Bakugo suffer the same way he made him suffer. This is basically a "what if" story of what would have happened if Izuku had never talked to All Might. This story progresses kind of slowly so it's going to be a bit long. Will contain themes like suicide, depression, gore, etc. Read at your own risk!!! Nothing belongs to me except the plot. So enjoy~Complete

(Y/n) (L/n), known to the public as the provisional hero Archer, has been invited to U.A. High through the Hero Exchange Program!

Between sparring matches with Bakugo that leave her breathless, Kaminari's antics that leave her laughing until her sides hurt, and Kirishima's steady, encouraging presence, she quickly realizes being a hero isn't just about quirk power-it's about friendship, trust... and maybe even a little romance. Can Archer find her place in Class 1-A, survive the chaos, and maybe steal a few hearts along the way? One thing's for sure: at U.A. High, boredom is strictly forbidden. *My Hero Academia does not belong to me and neither does the artwork (unless stated otherwise), just the plot and OCs* * I will put warnings over any chapters that may include triggers such as but not limited to Self-harm, violence, uncomfortable situations, and sexual situations.* #1 BakuKamiKiri - November 2025
