Summary
With only one, small city remaining as civilization in Japan, the last of the UA heroes come together to enact their last remaining plan for success. Deku is elected as the one to be sent back in time to save the future, to stop a world overrun with Noumu and an overpowered, vengeful Shigaraki. He is, however, sent back a bit too far - 6 years too far infact.
OR
The one where the world is fucked, Izuku becomes a 3 year old and everyone becomes a hero.

Summary
"So why should I be the one to go?! You’re the teacher! The Hero!! What good could someone like me do?!”
“Izuku.” The man’s voice was harsh, and made the younger man’s eyes focus on his friend. His eyes softened. “It must be you. You’re not who you were back then. You aren’t useless. Remember this: You are a Hero. And the world is counting on you—even if nobody realizes it. Here. When the time comes... give this to him. You'll know he trusts you when he calls you 'Problem Child.'" He smiled fondly, handing Izuku a pair of rings on a chain.
~~~~~~~
When the world ends, their only hope is to send one Quirkless man back in time. Back in his 14-year-old body, will Midoriya Izuku be able to save the world that shunned him all his life? And will he finally be able to become a hero this go around?
Good thing he had time as a vigilante to practice.

Summary
All of his life, Izuku Midoriya was told he was useless. Worthless. Quirkless. Bakugou had even carved that word into his skin, never to be forgotten. A living reminder on his skin. Society had taught him that he couldn’t be a Hero. Now, here he sat, at the precipice of The End. The end of the world, that is. Around him, everything burned and nothing but carnage was left in his wake.
And it’s here, that he realizes this is not the path he wanted. This was All for One’s dream. But it was too late to change the fate of this world... far too late. He had already devoured this world.
If only he could go back in time.
Izuku looked to the sky, hoping to see the blue sky for one last time. He ignored the stinging tears in his eyes as he took in the black, cloudy sky. So much ash and smoke polluted it.
All of this was his fault. Izuku choked on blood.
"ł₣ ɎØɄ ₵ØɄⱠĐ ₩ł₴Ⱨ ₣ØⱤ ₳₦Ɏ₮Ⱨł₦₲, ₩Ⱨ₳₮ ₩ØɄⱠĐ ł₮ ฿Ɇ?"
He reached up to the sky, not even flinching as a strange voice -- no, it was familiar. His voice? -- whispered in his mind. Slightly distorted.
“I wish I could’ve changed it all. I wish I could go back, and fix all of this,”

Summary
Aizawa refuses to let his Problem Child travel back in time alone, even to fix a future where All for One was the victor. They go back with a plan that's more of a list, spend a year technically missing, and become rather effective vigilantes that fix some rather serious problems. And then it's time to be found, which seems to primarily result in lots of support and many hugs. Neither Izuku or Aizawa complain very much.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku dies at eighteen, in a desperate, final, battle against the League of Villains. The war has not been won; he is merely another name in a long, long list of casualties.
It is a bitter, meaningless end— except it is not.
He wakes up again, somehow, six years in the past. It is a new world, a new life. Another chance.
Izuku has already failed his world once; he refuses to fail it again. So he does the only logical thing— and joins the League of Villains at the age of twelve years old.

Summary
Fourteen-year-old him was an idiot. He should've never joined the League of Villains. He wanted to fix society, not end it. How the hell was he supposed to know that Shigaraki would release an army of Nomu across Japan and kickstart the Nomu apocalypse?!
But it happened, and now his friends are all dead (no thanks to him), and the only way to fix this mess is to turn back the hands of time to where this all began. Which means he has to go to UA and get into the Hero Course. The Quirkless, ex-villain, has to become a Hero to save the world.
. . . Yeah, this isn't gonna turn out well.
