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.

Shadows and Sparks
KatsukiBakugoxOc Her quirk terrifies her. His temper terrifies everyone. Somehow, they terrify each other - in all the right ways. "I'm... scared of my own power." "...Tch. You don't have to be. Not when I'm here." "...Even if I hurt you?" "...Then I'll take it. But don't ever hide from me again." Akiro Kuroyami has spent her life haunted by the shadows of her own quirk, terrified of hurting the people she cares about. At U.A., she hides behind silence and relies on her fists instead of her cursed power - until she's forced to train alongside Bakugo Katsuki. What begins with harsh words and explosive clashes slowly grows into something neither expected: a bond where fire meets shadow, anger meets gentleness, and two broken souls learn that strength isn't just about fighting - it's about finding someone who believes in you.
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
Before the Light
Izuku Midoriya always believed that if he worked hard enough, endured long enough, and stayed kind despite the pain, things would get better. But the bullying at Aldera Junior High never stopped-it only got worse. Not even his acceptance into U.A. High under Principal Nezu's elite scholar program could silence the cruelty of classmates who refused to see his worth. Desperate to escape, Izuku finds solace in an online role-playing game, where his only peace lies in the late-night conversations with a mysterious friend: BlastKing. Neither of them knows the other's real identity-or the past they unknowingly share. But when Izuku's pain overwhelms him and the darkness nearly takes him, BlastKing breaks through more than just the screen-he breaks into Izuku's real world. And standing there is Katsuki Bakugo, the very person who once tore him down... and who now might be the only one who can help him heal. In a story about hidden scars, silent strength, and the kind of love that chooses to stay, Before the Light explores what it means to be seen, to be saved, and to save yourself.
Izuku And His Laws (Rewrite)
*Izuku Midoriya was born with Archikinesis-a quirk that defied all expectations. Each dawn brought a different fundamental force under his command: fire, gravity, time, space itself. His power shifted with the sunrise, making him unpredictable and misunderstood.* *At his old school, this ever-changing ability made him a target. Bullied relentlessly by his childhood friend Katsuki Bakugo, Izuku endured years of torment until he finally reached his breaking point. When the cruelty became too much to bear, he and his mother made a fresh start in Musutafu, closer to his dream school: U.A. High.* *Now Izuku trains relentlessly to master each law that comes his way. Guided by a mysterious wheel of power that manifests behind him-a visual representation of his quirk's true potential-he transforms what others saw as weakness into ultimate strength. Through martial arts, strategic thinking, and an unshakeable will to help others, he forges his own path to heroism.* *In a world that values consistency and predictability, Izuku will prove that adaptability is the greatest power of all. He won't just follow the traditional rules of heroism.* *He'll rewrite them, one law at a time.* --- "All of My Hero Academia belongs to Horikoshi, while everything else is my own. this is my first fanfic, so thank you & enjoy!"![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
