Summary
Izuku Midoriya disappeared on the night of the encounter with the Sludge villain.
A week later, he was declared dead, and all search efforts ceased—a usual fate for a quirkless nobody.
Several weeks after that, his case was reopened due to the appearance of a new vigilante in Musutafu. A vigilante with an astonishing ability to vanish without a trace. What sets this one apart from the majority of vigilantes is that he's only fourteen years old and doesn't hide his face. No, Izuku Midoriya was starting to become known for his nocturnal activities in the city. The question was... Where did this quirk come from? Or where was he most of the time when he wasn't breaking the rules? Or why wasn't he hiding his identity? Or why did he refuse to go back home and also declined Eraser Head's help?
Izuku Midoriya was a complete enigma. And like any good mystery, he had to carefully guard his secrets. Because once the truth was known, his entire life would shatter forever.
Or perhaps it already had, and Izuku simply wasn't ready to admit it.
Or, in the end, maybe Izuku did possess a quirk with an unusual activation. Izuku is a ghost who dedicates himself to fixing others' lives but not his own.

Summary
The Sludge Villain doesn't find Bakugo after escaping All Might, but some other random civilian. There's no series of explosions to draw All Might to the scene of the second attack. It's by pure luck that Izuku stumbles upon them. And Izuku does what he always has when he sees one person hurting another: inserts himself between the aggressor and victim. He finds this is significantly harder to do when one of the parties is a sentient slime.

How is it possible that this concept was crafted into such a great story? I love their dynamic and it just blows my mind that the author could have come up with this and managed to execute it so well.

Complicated Creation by Elemental
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
09 Sep 2020
Tags
Summary
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

Summary
“I think there’s a reason they placed it in here, Sho.” Z’ashi whispered back. “We have nothing to offer them by keeping us, and the only reason they haven’t thrown us out of the airlock is because we're live meat. We’re the meal, aren’t we?”
“We don’t know that.” Shota’s voice could cut steel. “From what they saw, the Terran’s didn’t eat the remains of the captured prisoners. They had developed living spaces and were a tier 4 society. They may not condone the consumption of higher life forms.”
“When you’re as hungry as I am, my love, everything becomes a lower life form.”
Or, my spin on the mha human's are space orcs trope. How much crazier would it be if humans had quirks?
Title inspired by The Amazing Devil's 'The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace.'

Summary
“Deku’s not as cool as All Might, though,” Midoriya said. “All Might is the best of the best. There’s no competition.”
“Deku is cool, too,” Ikki said defensively. Just like that, all traces of tears were gone as he recognised just who it was in front of him: a fellow fanboy.
(Or: Midoriya has a bad habit of interacting with hero fans without letting them that he's Deku, the current Number One.)

Absolutely amazing crossover. Don't expect a lot of interaction with Venom/Eddie (though when they do show up it's a blast) but do expect all the weirdness and some really interesting dialogue. This is very well written too

We're Longing for Daylight by AKelaNakamura

Summary
Based on Tumblr Prompt: Detailed inside.
Gotham is well used to Rogue attacks. There's always something blowing up or getting robbed or a Bat dropping from nowhere and kicking someone's teeth out. Gotham has adapted to this way of life. Of Rogues and Bats and Birds. Of gas attacks and fate decided by a flip of a coin. But there's something different about this latest attack. People across Gotham--from regular citizens to Rogues--are falling asleep. And not waking up. This rash of unexplained comas has left the city in shambles. There's no cause, no reason, and no answers.
With every Gotham vigilante working around the clock to try and find a cure, everyone is stretched thin. When the sickness hits one of their own, Jason decides he's had enough. He's going to find the cause for this and he's going to fix it. He's got a single thin lead and he's going to make it count. No matter what it costs him.
No one messes with his family. No one messes with his brothers.

The Legendary Quirk Thief by Phlinting
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
23 Sep 2024
Tags
Summary
All men are not created equal… except that an illness is sweeping the streets of South Musutafu and the permanent loss of a victim's quirk seems to be the first symptom.
Perhaps the stories of the Legendary Quirk Thief were really just early signs of a pandemic that could potentially drain the world of quirks. In a world already heavily dependent on people's unique skills for everything from construction to medicine and every industry in between the permanent loss of quirks could be catastrophic.
As the world scrambles to identify and stop whatever is coming, one small boy is just glad to get his best friend back—even if it means their chances of being heroes together are all but extinguished. Maybe being quirkless won't be so bad when everyone around him is exactly the same.
But when UA offers placements in the hero course for quirkless students they may accidentally uncover the true nature of the pandemic and find a cause that no one ever really imagined possible.

Bookmarker's Notes
A really interesting way to tackle the story. It reads almost like a zombie outbreak story, minus the zombies. While the fic could technically be considered unfinished based on the author's note at the end, it makes for an excellent part one and wraps up well enough that part 2 is not strictly required, though I'll be looking forward to it, as this was a great read.

Excellent Villain/AfO Izuku fic. More feel good than angst. Some Villain!Izuku fics get real dark, but this isn't one of those.
