Top Izuku X Bottom Katsuki
Izuku Midoriya is far from the quirkless boy everyone thinks he is. Born into a life tangled with secrets and shadows, he's determined to carve his own path - even if it means defying the man who made him this way. At U.A. High, it is the survival of the fittest. And somewhere between power, danger, and unexpected connections, he might just discover how complicated friendship, rivalry... and something more can be.

Falling (Depressed Deku Fanfic) (COMPLETE)
Ever since Izuku Midoriya joined U.A. High School and settled in, he knew that the League of Villains were after him and his quirk: One For All. However, when the time comes when Bakugo is the target and is only seconds away from being captured, Midoriya throws himself in the chaos and ends up saving Bakugo, only at the cost of his own safety as he is captured instead. Midoriya is brought back to the League of Villains' hideout and with him there, Shigaraki plans on changing the young boy's mindset and plans to use force against him. When Midoriya isn't able to escape for three years and no one can seem to find him, he begins to lose hope and his wounds only bleed more. Even when he goes back in time with the help of a pro hero's quirk, he is diagnosed with depression and struggles to go on through life. He doesn't feel like himself. He needs someone. He needs someone so badly. But what if there isn't anybody to help Midoriya? How will Midoriya cope when someone close to him dies right in his arms? Warning! This story will contain depression, suicide talk, torture (not explained explicitly), violence, and a whole lot of angst! Also, this story won't contain any ships. So, there isn't any BakuDeku, TodoDeku, etc., it's just a depressing story with Midoriya with his friends trying to change themselves to help him and their own selves in the future.

More Than Just a Student (All Might and Deku)
Deep down, Toshinori had seen Midoriya as more than just his student or his successor for One for All. To him, he had seen him like the son he never had or even wanted. But, it had to take Midoriya being involved in a life or death situation for him to finally admit it to himself. (A slight AU, taking place after Deku and Bakugo's fight, but before Class 1-A meet The Big Three) I don't own My Hero Academia. That belongs to Kohei Horikoshi (manga) and Studio Bones (anime)Complete
Damnit, I like Deku!
Bakugou slowly comes to the realization that he likes Midoriya and has for a long time, but feels conflicted because of how much he's hurt Midoriya. Midoriya has accepted the fact he's liked Bakugou for a long time, but what happens when a little girl from the future gets stuck, interrupting the natural progression of the timeline? There's pranks, an angry Bakugou, a nervous Midoriya, all of class 1-A plus some teachers, hints of side ships, and nothing too traumatic! What more could you want? I don't own any of the characters used in this story. Except a few OCs. This is a long story so if you want a short one you'll have to look somewhere else lol. Started: Dec 18, 2019.

Katsuki Bakugo walked through the ashes of what used to be-a society built on hope, now cracked and crumbling beneath his feet. Cities lay in ruins. The Hero Commission was nothing more than a ghost of its former self. And between all this devastation was a silence he could no longer escape. Izuku Midoriya, the boy who once saved him, stood just out of reach, not because of distance, but because Bakugo couldn't find the strength to touch him. Izuku didn't ask for his forgiveness. He only wanted to be close, to be near the person who had hurt him most. But Bakugo was afraid. Afraid that even a single touch would shatter the fragile bridge they'd somehow started to build. ------ Please vote and comment on the story, it makes my week. English isn't my first language.

🖤 "What Hurts More, Him or Me?"
🖤 "What Hurts More, Him or Me?" In a world where pro heroes shine bright under the spotlight, shadows still creep behind closed doors. Years after graduating from U.A., Midoriya Izuku has claimed the No.1 hero title-standing tall with a smile the world adores, and a boyfriend the world praises. But behind the glamour of the hero life hides bruises, secrets, and whispers he's too scared to speak aloud. Enter Bakugo Katsuki-No.2 hero, all rage and grit and unresolved feelings. He thought he buried his love for Deku long ago, but when a hero gala reunion throws them into the same orbit again, Katsuki starts noticing the cracks Deku's been hiding behind fake laughs and perfectly tailored suits. When secrets bleed through smiles and one rough touch too many finally pushes Katsuki over the edge, he's left with only one choice: Save the one person he swore he'd never love again... Or watch him fall apart in silence. Title: 🖤 "What Hurts More, Him or Me?"
