Izuku Midoriya smiles like nothing's broken.
But behind the flawless mask is a child with cursed power, blood-soaked legacy, and scars that no hero can see.
Born of Yakuza blood and raised by cruelty, he hides three forbidden quirks-including one that can command minds.
The Hero Commission wants to own him.
His "guardian" wants to break him.
And all he wants...
is to survive without losing what little of himself is left.
But even the brightest smile can't hide a monster forever.

Izuku Midoriya: The Hollow Hero
In a world where heroes rise to protect the innocent, one boy's dream is shattered by a brutal twist of fate. Izuku Midoriya, once a wide-eyed child idolizing All Might, is torn from his life at eight-his mother murdered before his eyes, his latent telekinesis erupting in a shockwave of despair. Abducted by the shadowy Erebus, he's forged into K-13, a weapon of unparalleled power, his spirit broken over years of torment until obedience becomes his cage. This fanfiction is a gripping tale of tragedy, redemption, and the fragile line between monster and savior-where a shattered soul must rise from the ruins to reclaim what was stolen, or doom all he once loved.

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.

Missed Family
I'm... just me, I guess. Izuku Midoriya. Green hair, freckles, quirk that doesn't always listen to me-and useless small bat wings....yeah, that's me. People don't usually look at me and see someone strong or confident, and honestly, I don't blame them. I'm not sure I see that in myself either...I mean I am useless because I can't controll my quirk at all... better hide it and live quirkless or not? But I want to be better. Not just stronger, but someone who can protect the people I care about. Someone who doesn't just survive but actually... lives. Who would have thought that my life could turn 180 degrees just because I decided to help out my one and only idol!!! A/N: This is a mha fanstory hope you enjoy!

Monster in My Mind... or not?! THEY ARE REAL!
Izuku's POV: I was quirkless, then burdened with One For All, and now haunted by a monster only I could see-until it stopped being just a hallucination. I thought I was losing my mind..... I was taken, broken, and the LOV never knew what they just help creat... Aizawa's POV: Midoriya was a scared kid hiding too much pain behind bright eyes. . . I've watched him fall, break, and rise stronger. . . He's mine to protect and who am I to not trust the kids words. I am his Sensei, his mentor and a father in one sense too.

Smiley face (Dekuverse)
It was just a ridiculous event. No one knew what happened before it happened. Shigaraki, Overhaul, Aizawa as well as some hero in training met at a crossroad and life didn't wanted it others but having Hawks chasing down a villain as well?! Oh what would make it better than for that villain to have a quirk in which they will see a certain persons personal traits in a couple of various situations? OHO Wouldn't that be totally ridiculous? Well what if the villain affected everyone and made them see what could become out of Midoriya?! HA! Well that was what happened exactly :). Follow them as they react to Midoriya's various personal characteristical traits. A/N: This is a mha fanstory hope you enjoy! Please also feel free to correct my bad writing.
