Summary
“Izuku? Do you…remember who I am?”
The teen nodded.
“Can I help you?”
“I-” His voice cracked. “Please…please don’t touch me.”
“Okay. I won’t. I promise. Do you want to wrap the- uhm, the baby?”
“No. I mean...yes, but-” Izuku shuddered out a breath. “It’s dead.”
Izuku had never seen his teacher like this. Head bowed, a silent rage burning just under his usual smokey scent. The fingers gripping his outstretched capture scarf had gone white from how tight they’d become. He swallowed back something that tried to fight its way to the surface and took an extended breath.
____
OR: Izuku was kidnapped during a work study patrol, and held captive for four months as a forcibly bitched Omega in an adoption scheme. Recovery might not be straight forward, but he finds a way to get through it, with some help, and the hope that the children he was forced to have might live a better life.

Summary
“I’ve received a very important letter. I will say I was apprehensive at first, but once we verified its origins, your mother and I were overjoyed with the offer.”
Offer? Izuku was confused. What offer could someone make to have the both of them act like…real parents; kind parents?
“Enji Todoroki, The number one pro hero, has offered a fantastic package for the honor of the arrangement between his youngest son, Shouto, and you.”
“Sir?” Izuku asked, his voice cracking in confusion.
“You’re such a stupid little thing, aren’t you? Good thing he doesn't want your brain, just your quirkless womb.”
Izuku choked on his own bloody spit.
_____
OR: Izuku is quirkless, and hated for it. But his parents find use for the genetic mutation that runs in his family, making him intersex. Endeavor plans to use this to continue his masterpiece, Shouto is just as trapped in this as Izuku is.
LOTS OF TRIGGER WARNINGS IN THIS ONE!!

Bookmarker's Notes
Easily one of my top 10 fics, and for a damn good reason. The author recreates what you know about mha while perfectly filling up any holes left by the original anime. Reading a finished fix and seeing the arc from beginning to end is just amazing.
Note: this fic has a lot of dark themes, but never did it leave me feeling worse. Takes the "it gets worse before it gets better" tag seriously, but it DOES get better.

Summary
“I’m gonna ask you a personal question,” Shinsou said one night over dinner. They’d started having meals together more often now. Now that Izuku didn’t go out of his way to eat when he knew Shinsou wouldn’t be in the kitchen.
“You know,” Izuku said, taking another bite, “usually people start that sentence with ‘Can I.’”
“What’s the point of that? You don’t know what it is yet. Once you’ve heard it you can decide if you want to answer or not.”
“Fair enough,” Izuku mumbled around his mouthful.
“What’s the deal with your alignment?”
Midoriya Izuku told his landlord he didn't want an alpha roommate, but she placed Shinsou Hitoshi with him anyway. It's a disaster, sure, but Shinsou might just be the push Izuku needed to think about who he wants to be.Series

Bookmarker's Notes
This work is honestly amazing. I've never seen an omegaverse fic that wasn't either a bit cringy or way too sexual for my liking. This was the perfect amount of romance and domestic fic, and seeing Izuku struggle with his alignment portrayed with trans and intersex themes was so interesting.
Not to mention the author is extremely literate, which can be a refreshing experience if you've been scrolling a03 too long. Being able to draw in readers who don't usually go for this type of fiction, as well as keep them engaged? Now that's a talent.

I Never Called Your Name by LitaCakes

Summary
It was an accident.
Really.
The first time was genuinely an accident. Izuku had never meant to kill one of his friends.
But no one had believed him when he said it was his fault. How could it be? He was quirkless. Izuku was barely seven years old. No one believed that when he said Hibiki Nara’s name, calling him from across the playground, the boy dropped dead instantly.
_____
OR: Izuku is a Dullahan, a headless horseman, with all the powers of one. But no one believed him, and he became a vigilante. For better or worse, he tries to keep going, because unfortunately, he cannot die, either.

Bookmarker's Notes
Reading all three chapters felt like such an accomplishment, especially since it was unfinished when I started it.
I have to say, the fic comes off extremely cynically. It's not a bad thing, though usually it gets to me. This author, however, has the skill to pull me into their little Halloween world and make me lose my mind over a practically immortal character.
I would like to note that nearly immortal or physically op characters don't tend to hold my interest. And yet, you persisted. The fic felt like a physical blow to my chest.
(Note: It's illegal to read this during the day. Midnight storm/fall evening read only.)

when life gives you lemons (you overachieve like the chaos god you are) by asthmaticbee

Summary
"Uuh, so... hi! I'm Midoriya Izuku and I'm going to be teaching you Quirk Analysis!"
"What the fuck, Deku?"
Or, how one innocently overachieving chaos gremlin nonchalantly gets a university degree, teaching license and job offer before high school and causes Eraserhead's alcoholism.
(the last part might be exaggerated)

Fucking hilarious. The way that I felt ELATED every time Izuku did something of significance says something about the authors writing.
