Some people are born with power. Some have to survive long enough to find it.
Izuku thought he knew what his future would be: invisible, powerless, left behind. Born without a Quirk in a world that worships strength, his dreams of becoming a hero crumbled before they could even begin.
But when a brush with death awakens a brutal new ability-a painful, relentless regeneration-Izuku is thrown back into the world he thought had closed its doors forever. Under the sharp eye of the sharpshooter hero Snipe, Izuku must learn to master a Quirk that feels more like a curse than a blessing.
And in the halls of U.A. High, where sparks fly and old rivalries burn hotter than ever, Katsuki is the one flame Izuku can't seem to outrun-or resist.
In a world that taught him he wasn't enough, Izuku will find a new way to fight.
Bleeding. Healing. Burning forward.

ꜱᴛᴀʀʙᴜʀꜱᴛ !!丨 ᴹᴴᴬ丨
"ɪ'ᴍ ʟɪᴋᴇ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ᴋɪɴᴅ ᴏꜰ ꜱᴜᴘᴇʀɴᴏᴠᴀ." Mai Itadori has always been a little too loud, a little too reckless, and maybe-just maybe-a little too determined to prove she belongs among the best.

But underneath the jokes and bravado lies a girl desperate to be seen-not as a sidekick, not as someone's shadow, but as a hero in her own right. When Mai earns her spot at U.A. High, she finds herself thrown headfirst into a whirlwind of rivalries, friendships, and more near-death experiences than she'd like to count. Between clashing with her childhood friend Katsuki, and teaming up with her best friend Izuku, forming an unlikely bond with the quiet and mysterious Iniko, her path to heroism is anything but simple.Complete
Ashes and Evergreen | DekuBaku
After the war, the dust doesn't settle - it clings. Class 1-A survived, but not without fractures. Not all scars are visible. Not all pieces find their way back. And two of its strongest - Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugou - seem to be drifting further from the people they were... and from each other. Izuku is taller now. Stronger. His presence cuts through a room. But his smile doesn't reach his eyes, and his warmth is distant - like he left part of himself behind in the rubble. He carries everything. Always has. But no one can reach him anymore, not really. And Katsuki? He burned too bright for too long. His confidence is hollow now, more armor than belief. He hides behind quiet quips, late-night walks, and an ever-present ache in his chest. The once ferocious boy is flickering out - the guilt and grief have stolen his roar. But in the spaces between broken routines, heavy silences, and cautious glances... something remains. A thread. Fragile. Real. Maybe they can find each other again. Maybe they can become someone new. Together. Or maybe, this is the end.Complete
A Hero's Heart
When All Might told Izuku Midoriya he could never be a hero, the dream that once burned bright inside him turned to ash. Rejected by the world he idolized and haunted by the cruelty of those he trusted most, Izuku vanished-only to resurface years later under the League of Villains' banner. Ruthless, sharp, and terrifyingly composed, he's everything society made him become. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. When a mission gone wrong it puts Katsuki Bakugo face to face with the boy he thought was dead, and both of them are forced to confront the ghosts that never stopped following them. Guilt, anger, and old affection bleed together as their paths intertwine once more-this time on opposite sides of the war between heroes and villains. Captivity turns into confrontation. Hatred turns into understanding. And somewhere between blades and explosions, two broken prodigies have to decide whether redemption is earned... or taken by force.![SHE BELONGS TO ME [KATSUKI BAKUGO]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/390463942-256-k107081.jpg)
SHE BELONGS TO ME [KATSUKI BAKUGO]
She was a spark that refused to fade. Born with a powerful, elemental Quirk and a fire in her chest that never dimmed, she was destined to stand out. But when tragedy struck and her parents were taken from her far too young, that spark turned into a wildfire, untamed, angry, and burning for something more. UA High was supposed to be the start of her journey to become the hero she always dreamed of being. She didn't expect it to be the place where she'd confront her grief, fight for her future, and find the missing part of her heart in the most unlikely person. He's fierce, explosive, and driven by a need to prove himself. The blonde with a temper as short as his fuse. But underneath all the fire and fury, she sees the same pain, the same hunger to be more. Together, they're chaos and chemistry. Rivals, partners, something deeper neither of them dares to name. This is the story of how she rose from the ashes, and how he helped her remember that even the strongest flames can still be warm.Complete
Two Worlds, One Destiny: A Love That Defies Time
Izuku Midoriya never expected his quiet life at U.A. to shatter when a rift opened in the middle of campus-spitting out a battle-worn, older version of Katsuki Bakugo. This wasn't the loud, hotheaded classmate he knew, but a king from another world, a man haunted by grief, carrying a single truth that shook Izuku to his core: "In my world... you were my queen. My mate. The mother of my child." Pulled between two fiery Alphas-his brash, younger Katsuki and the hardened, desperate king from another timeline-Izuku finds himself entangled in a battle that crosses worlds. A war brews, dragons roar, and an unhinged prince from the fantasy realm vows to claim what was never his... even if it destroys everything in both realities. Through blood, heartbreak, and time itself, two souls separated by fate fight for a love strong enough to rewrite destiny. And when the dust settles, one thing becomes clear: Two worlds. One bond. A love no force-not war, not death, not even time-could ever break.

Izuku Midoriya, once destined to be the greatest hero, now faces a future without his quirk and without direction. Despite his valiant sacrifices, the weight of losing his quirk leaves Izuku questioning his place in a world that no longer needs him.

Izuku, now a teacher at UA, stands before his former rival - older, scarred, and somehow more magnetic than ever. The connection between them, once buried beneath years of rivalry, now simmers with unspoken desire and unresolved emotions. What begins as an awkward reunion soon ignites into a forbidden attraction neither can deny. As they navigate their secret, stolen moments, the line between hero duty and personal desire grows increasingly blurred. In the end, they must decide if they can truly have it all-love, redemption, and a future neither thought possible. | ART NOT MINE | POST-WAR AU | TEACHER DEKU AU | SPOILERS | P.S: I'm just writing this one for fun, so it might not make too much sense.
