18 parts Complete Mature
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.

ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ It was a normal Friday, at least that's what Katsuki thought. After a villain attack, he had to stay in school longer than necessary. The sun was already setting down when he could finally get home, he didn't even have time to open the door before a pair of footsteps stopped behind him. The villain followed him. . . That night everything changed. . . What will happen when the hero falls in love with the villain? Extract 1 ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ "Chill, dude. I'm going ok?" The man left quickly, leaving him with jealous Izuku. "Who was that?" Izuku asked. "Someone who just sucks at flirting." Izuku leaned over him, whispering into his ear. "You look stunning, gorgeous." The hand that slid down his neck made his skin hot. Extract 2 ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ "I think you should pay attention to your little angel more." Izuku stopped in his tracks, his body turning to Katsuki. Everything happened in slow motion after that. Izuku's horrified expression, hand reaching for him as the pieces of the building started falling at him. Katsuki smiled, he wanted to give Izuku something before this, and he hoped the warm smile could be enough. . . . "This is the end." Extract 3 ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ "Not gonna look at me?" Fuck, stop. He can't open his eyes. If he did, and Izuku won't be there, it would be the last thing he needed to reach his breaking point. "Open your eyes." No, he doesn't want to. "Please, for me?" There was nothing else to do, as much as he loved listening to Izuku's voice, this can't go forever. Deku x Kacchan Bottom Bakugou Smut Fluff artist twitter://wengwengchim Enjoy the story! (◠‿・)-☆

//DISCONTINUED. Sorry.// ma·ni·a ˈmānēə/ noun an excessive enthusiasm or desire; an obsession ---------------------- #1 in Insane Deku 12/23/18 #1 in Bamf Izuku 2/7/19 #1 in Unhealthy Love 3/16/19 Izuku Midoriya had always been a tad bit obsessed with the thought of heroes and villains and Quirks in general. Taking notes of fighting styles, Quirk strengths, Quirk limitations. Memorizing hero catchphrases, buying collector's items; covering his walls in pictures and drawings of villains and heroes, A-listers and C-listers alike. Of course, if one looked at this behavior on the surface, it seemed completely normal. Never had Izuku let his fanboying get in the way of school work or his social life (not that he had one). No-one thought to even suspect him in the slightest when heroes started to go missing, only to be found, dead, with some body part or another missing. No-one noticed Izuku's instability and unhealthy addiction to all things with super powers. At least, not at first. ||Based on a messed up one-shot I made a while ago. Not really tho|| ||Almost immediate canon divergence. Takes place in season 1 and 2. Please no spoilers for the manga or season 3 in the comments|| ||TW: sexual elements, major character death, profanity, stalkerish tendencies, blood, gore, possible non-con, one-sided love, mental disorder, unhealthy perception of love, mania|| ||Also, Izuku comes from a relatively unloving home.||
