How does a monster *not* become a monster?
Forget inspiring hope as a hero. After years forgotten underground, Arata Shirayuki first has to survive in the light.
Aizawa pushes her to master the terrifying Praying Mantis quirk she's spent her life repressing. Class 1-A is both the impossible standard she must meet and the found family she desperately craves. Meanwhile, Bakugou detonates every wall she hides behind by force...
Until the League of Villains descends upon the forest camp, and with them, comes the mother who once loved her, left her to rot, and now wants her back.
But Arata is no longer an island of one. Shoto Todoroki has seen both the girl crippled by the cold and the mantis drenched in blood, and he stays regardless.
He's the one person Arata fights her way back to through it all-even through the worst of herself. And Shoto gladly walks back into the fire every time so that he never loses her again, carving her a place by his side that lasts.
Half doesn't cut it anymore. They need both-for another day together.

The world of heroes is loud, but for Mizuki Fukutomi, it's a cacophony she'd rather observe from a distance. With her quiet demeanor and a Quirk that makes her a valuable but reserved member of Class 1-A, she's content to stay on the sidelines. But when fate places her squarely between the explosive temper of Katsuki Bakugo and the icy resolve of Shoto Todoroki, Mizuki finds herself becoming the unexpected center of their volatile rivalry. As the League of Villains' attacks escalate, forcing the students of U.A. High to confront the harsh realities of their world, the three of them must navigate not only their deadly foes but also the complex, unspoken bonds forming between them. Mizuki might be the quiet one, but she's the catalyst for a change none of them saw coming, proving that sometimes, the most powerful force isn't the loudest, but the one that brings balance to chaos. Honestly you guys can imagine Mizuki as Y/N or Reader I don't really mind😚 (This book is really cringe. I posted/published this in 2025 when this was stuck in my drafts since 2022 afree I edited it slightly before publishing it for the first time in 2025. And I unpublished this to rewrite some of the chapters. I only managed to rewrite 4 chapter or so. But I still re-published everything since it might spark other people's interest🤷🏻♀️ Hope you love this book<3) -------- Best Ranking •#52 in mha (11/24/25) •#2 in class1-a (01/26/26) •#13 in shototodoroki (01/08/26) •#1 in todoroki (01/20/26) •#11 in mhaoc (01/20/26) •#1 in katsukibakugo (04/30/26)Complete

My Hero Academia : Shadows
In a world that rewards loud heroes, Mizuki Fujioka survives in the shadows. Inserted into canon events she was never meant to be part of, Mizuki walks a dangerous line between hero, weapon, and liability-fighting alongside Class 1-A while hiding the cost of her power. This is a canon-adjacent My Hero Academia AU that follows Mizuki from her early days at U.A. to the choices that shape her future as a Pro Hero. Expect slow-burn tension, darker themes, and moments that fit seamlessly into the original story-while quietly changing it. Ongoing. Updated every other Monday. I do NOT own any of the original MHA characters or main storyline, all credits go to Kohei Horikoshi.
The Cheshire Hero: Devine | S.Todoroki | HIATUS
"Failure is not a mark of disgrace, but the root from which wisdom and strength grow." In a world where 80% of people have quirks, Tomoko Sasaki stands out with hers-Cheshire Cat. Her "unnatural" quirk and unforgiving attitude leaves her isolated, but she refuses to hide who she is. Determined to follow her in her uncle's footsteps, Tomoko challenges society's norms, makes unlikely friends, and maybe even finds love-all while proving that she can be a hero on her own terms. --- My Hero Academia is by Kohei Horikoshi Most/all art in this fic is AI or off Pinterest (Mb gang I can't draw for shit) This story contains, violence, swearing, kidnapping, gore (maybe), Mineta though he won't be mentioned as much as the original and ALOT of sarcasm.Complete
