Something_About_These_Terrifies
Fics that I found uniquely terrifying, in often unconventional ways that I haven't seen often from horror media. Most of these are psychological horror.

Summary
He doesn’t know when Joker appeared, or rather more honestly: he doesn’t remember when Joker became someone different from him.
It scares him, sometimes, to have a part of himself feel so close and yet so far away; he scrambles onto the pieces that connect him and Joker and try to find a middle ground, as if there is an explanation for the vast differences that separates the real world him and the Metaverse him.
(or alternatively: Akira Kurusu tries to put the puzzle pieces of himself together and learns that coping mechanisms aren't always healthy.)

« Kai Smith…? » Jay murmured, deep in thought.
Lloyd’s eyes lit up, and Nya’s expression brightened. The atmosphere grew lighter, hope sparking between them.

Jay seemed to take a moment, studying Kai closely. His drink—forgotten—sat on the coffee table before him.
« Aren’t you supposed to be dead? »

Summary
From where he sat on the roof, Xiao could feel the thrumming energy of lively guests beneath him, enjoying their meals and their company in the late evening. Soon, weary from their travels and with full stomachs, the guests would head to their rooms and go to bed, marking the time when Xiao would have to leave. The silvery threads of the guests’ dreams filtered through the tiles of the roof, cool and silken to the touch, and Xiao hated the way they made his mouth water nauseatingly. He hated how even after thousands of years, his behavior was still conditioned to the whims of his old master.

A study of Xiao’s relationship with eating.

Summary
As soon as Izuku entered the room, the boy’s head snapped up.
Izuku took a step back.
A face he saw every morning in the mirror stared back at him, eyes glittering with delight. The left one was red.
“Oh, hello.”This was a bad idea.
Or: Izuku finds out UA is holding a villain under lock and key. Specifically, they’re holding him, a version of him from an alternate universe in which he never became a hero, but something far darker. Curiosity gets the better of him. He ends up regretting it.

Summary
The first over-night trip off campus since the training camp was supposed to be a fun break from more intense work back home. But between a bleak introduction to chaos theory, a chilly reception from the locals, and the looming threat of a villain attack, Izuku has too much on his mind to properly enjoy the fresh air. But those worries are a light breeze compared to the hurricane that accompanies what he finds on the outskirts of town.
Or rather, what finds him.
