To Daniel Valentine it wasn't about ruling the world, or saving the people. It was all about The Rush. The Rush was there when his family wasn't, it was there to add some kind of purpose to his dull and meaningless life. The Rush wasn't something that could be found on one side of the law, it existed on all sides of everything, just waiting for the next daredevil to find it. Daniel just wished others could see it that way as well. 

Heroes and Villains alike don't know what to make of the new masked persona doing neither good nor evil but a little bit of both. He seems to do things entirely for the thrill of it. Saving people if its enough of a challenge and performing heists just to see if he can pull it off.

Daniel knows that he's always one save or one heist away from being labeled a hero or a villain. He knows it would be  much easier just to a pick side... but where's The Rush in that, he would much rather walk The Thin Line.All Rights Reserved

Changing The Future by XCamCammyX

What makes a person a hero? A good hero can be hard to find. A hero is selfless, a genuinely good person and someone gets the undivided attention of all of us and causes change. Someone willing to risk their own life to save another. Well if that's a hero. Then I'm more of a hero then they are. A third generation of ability users. What does it mean to be a hero or a villain. Black and white. What about those who are neither of them. Gray. Alice and Asher, two ability users striving to be heroes. Or are they? Watch as they meet and all their family and the worlds secrets unravel. And someone is trying to change their future for the better or the worse. Will the pressure of society become to much or will they rise above it?

A Bird's Eye View: The Villain and the Hero's Love Affair by imnotcomfortablehere

You're just a little birdie, minding your own business-flying around, dodging falling leaves, trying not to get too involved in the messes of the city below. But, oh, the drama! The masked hero and the brooding villain you've been watching for months-yeah, those two? They have a lot of secrets. The hero's perfect, obviously, saving the world and all that. But the villain? Oh, dear. By day, they wear a mask of evil and power, but you've seen what happens when the cape comes off. There's some serious darkness lurking in their private life-self-loathing, quiet pain, and way too many late-night mood swings. But don't worry, the villain's got it under control... or so they think. You thought their love story was one of those sweet "enemies-to-lovers" kind of deals, until you saw the truth from way up here. It's a mess. Betrayal. Anger. Love. Secret identities. A fight that's way more personal than you ever imagined. But hey, that's not your problem, right? You're just a bird. Except, well... Maybe you care. Maybe you're the one who's been flying around, wondering if their messy, secret love story will ever have a happy ending-or if one of them will end up on the wrong side of the city's skyscraper (literally). From your vantage point, it's a little too close for comfort, but hey-no one ever said love was easy, even for villains and heroes. Just try not to get caught in the crossfire, okay?

Azrael (Vigilante Deku) by Chimera_Regarion

Izuku Midoriya had everything a 4-year-old child could wish for. He had a family, a home and a quirk that was like no other. Thanks to a tragic and very bloody night, he was left with nothing then his own memories of a happy past and his quirk to protect himself. He quickly found out that people are looking at him because of his quirk. All the people ever wanted was his quirk and not him. Years pass, and the little green bean learned to trust no one but himself. If one was to ask him what was his quirk, he would say he was quirkless. It was only a protection measurement he found out to be necessary. After all, a quirkless life was better than a life in a laboratory. One day he was fortunately enough to meet the number 1 hero and could finally ask him the question of his life. What will however happen if the symbol of peace gives him an answer he has never though he would hear? More importantly, what will he do once he finds out he still has family out there? Will Izuku be able to find them? And what will poor Izuku think about his new family? Will they be able to save him from himself? Let's find out!

The Vengeful Vigilante #Wattys2016 by RedBaron_007

Why is there always an abundance of hero's stories, or stories of the villain being put to ruin, with little to no thought of the villain himself? Why are villains called villains? Is anyone who opposes the hero a villain? That's what it seems to be. If that's the case, then I am indeed a villain. What if the villain wants to save the day? Did you ever stop and wonder if he has the pressure of saving the world, his world, on his shoulders? What if the villain was named a villain without doing anything wrong? What if the villain, is not a villain at all, but a victim? Everyone sees me as a haunting shadow, as a living nightmare. To the outside world, I am a vengeful vigilante. My family sees me as nothing, an outcast (my living family anyway). If only they knew my past, that would explain my motives, and maybe then they would not label me a villain. -The Black Knight In the City of Gatringdon, the royal capital of Geshucoar, there is a shadow full of secrets. No one knows his real name. All they know is that he has it out for the king, and that he will not hesitate to do whatever it takes to accomplish his unknown agenda. Not even the king's Royal Guard can keep him away....

Feral (Vigilante Deku) by Chimera_Regarion

Everyone said he was untamable and not human like! His mother couldn't handle the pressure of a son that had such a unique quirk and gave him up. No one managed to cope with the wild little cinnamon roll and so he ended up in a mental hospital locked away or so they thought. Little did they all know that Izuku was sneaking out nearly every night and doing the job of a dark hero. One that worked in the shadow of the night and never been seen before. However, one day Aizawa and Nezu payed a visit to the exact same mental hospital because they got some lead about a group of villains that were after UA. What will happen if Izuku breaks out once again and throws the whole hospital into chaos while two pro-heroes were in there? Well let's find out! A/N: This is a mha fanstory hope you enjoy!

Behind a mask [Villian Deku] by wackachu

Coins { DIFFERENT NAME } by WafflePanda08

Everyone hears about heroes and villains. Heroes are the good guys! The ones who everyone admires to be. Villains are the bad ones! The ones who everyone looks down upon. Each. A side of a coin. Heads and Tails. So alike, yet so different. Now what about the grey area? The side of the coin that few choose to acknowledge? Those are vigilantes. A person who goes against the laws but saves people. They are neither a hero, nor villain. Now what happens when Y/N L/N, an immortal vigilante, is called to action by both sides?

Better Times by QuietV0ic4

Before it all started. Before life became a living hell. Before everything shattered. This was better, it was peace. You could call it heaven. I call it a delusional dream, or perhaps they would prefer me to call it ignorance. No matter what it is called, it's all I have left of a peaceful existence. If you see it as hell already, well then, maybe you shouldn't be here. For, what will come to pass is nothing like this cushiony life, no matter who I hurt while living it. This is the prequal to the real story that will come. Warning: some characters struggle with mild mental illness symptoms. There is a bit of violence and some mild swearing. -Nyxe
