Izuku's mom passed away due to his abusive dad, but Izu isn't a snitch, he is a hero. And as they say, snitches get stitches. Izu hated the environment he had to live in, so he had to end it all, but.. Nope, not spoiling anymore!

Test Subject
What if Izuku Midoriya never got One for All? What if he never met All Might? What if he never tried to save his childhood friend from the sludge villain? What if he never reached his hand out to that so called childhood friend? Well, then the story for Izuku Midoriya would be different. At age 4, Izuku was deemed quirkless. Once found out, his father found it unacceptable. So instead, he did the unthinkable. Selling his only son to the U.S. government to participate in an experiment. 12 years later, Izuku is back in Japan and attending U.A. for what would be his 2nd year in high school. What happens when he's in the same class as his childhood friend, Katskui Bakugo? Questions will be asked. Secrets will be spilled. Trauma will be brought back to the surface. Can Izuku and Katskui build the friendship that was lost and maybe something more? Or will Izuku's past catch up and destroy something that was never given a chance? Disclaimer: All rights of the characters are given to the creator of My Hero Academia, Kohei Horikoshi. I only own the story and plot. Disclaimer 2: There will be mature topics in this story. For example, torture, trauma, self-harm, killing, as well as death. Viewer discretion is highly advised.Complete
Good Enough?!
Izuku Midoriya had enough from life, everyone was telling him how useless he was. His mother stopped looking at him. His best friend bullies him. He had no one who cares about him or so he thought. "Thank you for saving me, you are a great hero, I won't do this again. I promise! Can you unbind the scarf now?" He chose his words carefully and gave the sleep-deprived hero the brightest fake smile he could offer. "I am really fine! You can now go and continue your hero work." "You don't look fine!" .... This is a suicidal Deku story combined with Dadzawa. A/N: Be warned mention of suicidal thought and attempts as well as cutting. I do not make any waning beforehand in the story so consider yourself warned. This is a mha fanstory and I have no idea where this is gonna go ... hope you enjoy! Please also feel free to correct my bad writing. I was inspired by an Ao3 story I read, I wish I could remember the title of it, but I don't I am sorry. Rights on the pictures go to the artist.
