Summary
She’s not supposed to be here.
Not in this country, not in this world—not in this universe damn it.
Shuya’s always known that God has it out for her. But what she hadn’t known before this was that he hated her enough to literally yeet her into a fictional anime with zero context.
Well, if she’s here—might as well fuck shit up.
In which my friend asks me to throw her into My Hero Academia for her birthday. Naturally, I'm going to be obnoxious about it. Congratulations, you get a fic about a 21st century anime fan speed running BNHA while actively fighting the Plot™ that wants NOTHING but to go back to normal.

What Wakes in the Dark by SUSURRXUS

Summary
Izuku Midoriya has spent his whole life hiding what he is. Passing as a Beta, taking suppressants, slipping away every three months for his heat. He’s built his world on routine and secrecy, and it’s worked… until now.
A sudden villain attack in a neighbouring city forces U.A. into lockdown, keeping every student confined to the dorms until the threat is neutralised. Inconvenient, but manageable.
Except Izuku’s heat chooses that exact moment to start.
With nowhere to hide and his body working against him, Izuku scrambles to keep control as the walls close in, and his classmates begin to notice what he’s been concealing for years - including one very volatile blond Alpha who was never meant to find out.
And when Izuku and Katsuki wake up in the same bed, the question isn’t just what happened…
It’s what happens next.

This is a rewrite of Mina Ashido Approves of this Ship, which can still be found on my account! This version is cleaner and toned down in areas that did NOT need pages of description. Hope you enjoy this polished version as it's uploaded!

Summary
TW
The moment Izuku lets himself tip forwards over the edge of the building, the sharp wind rushing his face and curls catching in the force of falling, he knows he’d make a grave mistake.
I don’t want to die...
But he’s already made his decision; you can't come back from this. He stares wide-eyed as the ground gets closer and closer as the seconds tick on, eyes squeezing shut as he waits for impact. He awaits the consequences of his own stupid actions and then—
I don’t want to die.
—and then he opens his eyes and he’s stood peering over the edge of the building he’d just fallen from. Beside him, his shoes are tucked neatly on the ledge, backpack leaned on the ground beside them just as he’d left them. Izuku blinks owlishly, leaning forwards to stare ten stories down. Ten stories down where he’d just been a moment prior, only seconds away from hitting the ground.
He’s... back?
And that’s the first time Midoriya Izuku realizes that he does, in fact, have a Quirk.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is quirkless (way to state the obvious)
Living a hard life due to this and his admiration for heros leads to him becoming a vigilante. Underground fighting insues (? Is that how you spell it?) and he has the self preservation of a naked mole rat. He will be chaotic, especially with Nedzu and Aizawa in his corner.(Tags will change pretty often so sorry abt that)

Summary
Hero society never took off and instead of becoming the Symbol of Peace, Yagi has instead fashioned himself to be the most dangerous crime lord in Japan. No one threatens him, no one is stupid enough to try to attack him. At least, no one has ever tried and lived to tell the tale. Life is cold and stagnant, but at least things are stable.
Children, however, are not stable, and when a Quirkless boy accidentally stumbles into Yagi's territory, the very pillars of Yagi's resolve begin to crumble. Izuku is a good boy- too good. In another life, he would have made the perfect hero. But Yagi is a villain, so is he really the right one to guide him to adulthood?

Summary

Summary
Izuku hates himself. He's Quirkless. There's no way he can become a hero. He has very mixed feelings about his body. Instead of laying in bed depressed he goes out and jumps off buildings to take his mind off things. It ends about as well as you'd expect.
Himiko hates herself. She doesn't want to drink blood, but she has to, like a monster. She wanders the city, trying to find a meal that won't tip off her parents. Then a boy falls from the sky.
Sometimes when you're all alone in the world, it helps to be alone with someone else. -

Summary
Midoriya Izuku was quirkless until a scout under All for One's watch recruits him at the tender age of 5. After 9 years of training and multiple attempts at brainwashing him into obeying AFO's every order, Izuku manages to escape using a quirk that he was given 5 years prior.
With nowhere to go, he takes multiple train rides until he reaches Musutafu. From there, he finds his way to a trash-filled beach that he learned was named Takoba. Now, it's just a matter of climbing his way to a stable point in his new life, including finding a way to make money. Luckily, with near decade of training he received, what better way to make money than to take down criminals? Turns out, underground fighting rings are just as, if not more lucrative than that. -

It shouldn't be surprising that something that will fundamentally change your body will have some affects, Uraraka and others just wished it wouldn't cause so much trouble to knock them out of the class.
Or maybe it's just side-effects of the Juice™

Summary
This is a fic where Izuku and Katsuki make up before middle school and Izuku takes a different path than UA. It follows cannon events, but with my own little twists. And best friend Izuku and Katsuki stuff.
Excerpt:
W.W.A.M.D (What. Would. All. Might. Do.)?
This has been Izuku’s phrase for the past few weeks.
And he knew what he would do.
“One more chance.” He said, his voice springy with hope, “But if you’re mean again, then no more.”
Katsuki nodded. Katsuki's eyes were filled with more vulnerability that Izuku has ever seen.
“Don’t worry. I don’t plan on it. Ever.”Updates every Monday by 7:30 (KS time idk how time zones work)

"We're saying Bakugou has a domesticity kink," Ochako giggled, "Playing house gets him going if ya know what I mean."
"Wh-what?!" Izuku's face lit up like a tomato. That was a thing?
“You might have to get a new housekeeper, Deku. Once Camie asks him out, I'm sure she'll want to keep her soon-to-be househusband all to herself!" she joked, but Izuku didn't find it very funny.
Not at all.

Summary
No.1 Pro-Hero Deku just wanted a peaceful patrol. Instead, he gets cornered by a new, powerful villain, and finds himself back in a horrifyingly familiar, yet totally new time, with one chance to make things right.
OR a time travel AU because I'm obsessed with the angst and potential that is accidental time Traveller Izuku, and there really isn't enough of it on this beautiful hell hole of a website :3

It was supposed to be a prank call. A simple dare, an insensitive one that Bakugo made him do. Kaminari never expected two commission representatives to actually come and psychologically assess Midoriya. He never expected Midoriya to be taken away.
Or
Kaminari calls the the Suicidal Quirked Youth Hotline on Izuku for a dare, but as it turns out, Izuku really did need the help.
