If there's one thing Izuku never imagined becoming after losing One For All, was to be forgotten.
Now a professor at U.A. High, he spends his days teaching and his nights haunted by the life he left behind. He tells himself the quiet is enough, but the ache of his past-of failed dreams, lost purpose, and a failed relationship with his best friend that crumbled under the weight of their differences-refuses to fade.
When a stranger steps out of the shadows with an offer Izuku can't ignore, he's thrust into a hidden world of corruption and power. Beneath the polished hero rankings and dazzling debuts lies a web of lies spun by the Hero Commission and government officials-a system built on control, manipulation, and sacrifice.
As Izuku uncovers the truth, his world begins to crumble. Faced with a choice between the life he's built and the chance to truly make a difference, Izuku must decide: will he cling to the legacy of the hero he once was, or risk everything to fight in the shadows?

After Everything --- BakuDeku
In the aftermath of the war against All For One, UA Academy's heroes return to their lives-except for one. 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. Having a hard time figuring himself out, he cuts contact with his ex-classmates, and isn't seen or heard from for the rest of Class 1-A's school years. Katsuki Bakugou, now a renowned pro hero ranked #11 worldwide, returns to Japan after having spent 4 years in America, carrying the burden of guilt for lives lost during the war. When he's called back to UA to speak before the incoming freshmen, Bakugou's reunion with Izuku is anything but expected. 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.

vigil
The war is over, but peace has no place for Izuku Midoriya. Expelled from U.A. and branded a fugitive, he drifts through Musutafu's shadows, surviving on paranoia, shifting safehouses, and the fragile comfort of a stray cat named Kumo. To the world, he is a ghost-until one night, green lightning cuts across the skyline and his secret is exposed. Now hunted by a clandestine organization with designs on quirks themselves, Izuku is forced to fight not only for survival but for the civilians who still whisper his name as "hero." While his former classmates struggle to uncover the truth and the teachers of U.A. close in, Izuku faces a choice: keep running, or step back onto the stage as a hero-alone, scarred, and tempered by war. But in Musutafu's dark alleys and silent boardrooms, new plans are already in motion. And Izuku Midoriya may not just be the hunted. He may be the key.
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.
Snowfall and Rabbit Ears
In a world that worships strength but fears what it doesn't understand, Izuku Midoriya-once a bright-eyed student of U.A. High-now haunts the shadows of hero society. Branded unstable after a tragic accident that claimed lives, his dreams were frozen by fear, bureaucracy, and betrayal. With white hair, frost-touched skin, and rabbit ears that mark his mutation for all to see, he moves through the cracks of the city like a ghost. Neither hero nor villain. Just a name whispered by civilians in need... and screamed by the monsters who face him. They call him Frost Rabbit. They curse him as Cryo-Blizzard. Haunted by his past, burdened by the cold he can't turn off, Izuku walks a lonely path as a vigilante-saving the forgotten, punishing the wicked, and hiding the hurt that never leaves. But when a case of mutant-child trafficking drags up old wounds and threatens to unravel his fragile control, Izuku will be forced to confront not only the limits of his power, but the cost of being born different in a world that fears difference. Pain is constant. Silence is survival. But the frost still lingers.
