Summary
Izuku Midoriya has lived a life of torment and anguish with a Quirk that can kill with a single touch. After he killed his friend-turned-enemy Katsuki Bakugo despite trying to prove he wasn't a killer, can Izuku still become the greatest hero with that darkness within him?
Ochako Uraraka grew up poor and wanting. UA has given her so much, but she is still left wanting for something that's outside of her reach; peace. Does she have the strength to complete One For All now that All Might is gone? Can she stay true to herself while also making others' dreams into reality?
Shoto Todoroki's blood is foul. The devil on his shoulder, his abusive father, is the interim number one hero, and his oldest brother, the sociopathic arsonist Dabi, is on the warpath for revenge against the guilty and innocent alike. Can he atone for the sins of the father without burning himself to a crisp in the process?
Tenya Iida has a legacy to uphold and friends to keep safe; he's willing to push his body and spirit to the limits to see people greater than himself achieve their goals. Can he really live up to his older brother's example and reach all the people that he knows he can help, even if he's the fastest hero to ever live?

Summary
Hisashi Midoriya has come to know a dark truth about the world he lives in. His son has the potential to be the greatest hero the world has ever known, but the world is not worthy of him. The Emperor's Peace is only another kind of war, and if Hisashi wants his son to have the best life he can give him, then he needs to end that war.
That means he has to abandon his family and brand himself a Paranormal Liberation Front terrorist, which is a burden he's willing to carry if it helps him make a better tomorrow for the next generation. Hisashi's world expands as he gains a mentor, a friend, and even his own protege as he rises to power as Dragon, the man who breathes the flames of liberation!

Summary
What if Izuku Midoriya had a Quirk? What if that Quirk was a little destructive? What if someone who wanted to be a Hero could kill with a touch? How would he react? How would he move past that to achieve his goals and become the greatest Hero the world has ever seen and finally prove that it isn't the Quirk, but the Hero that makes a difference? Izuku endeavours to answer that question as he manifests a Quirk wholly different from either of his parents'.

Summary
Instead of super-strength, Izuku manifests Blackwhip at the entrance exam for UA. When he begins to have visions of an ancient evil and those who held his power before him, he begins on a path of great peril to face the Demon King once and for all.
While he learns his new powers, the Quirks of the past holders of One For All, he makes friends and enemies and gets closer to becoming the hero he's always wanted to be. Through his experiences toppling criminal organisations, villain factions and cults, and growing into the person he wants to be as he grows into a young man as well as a young hero, Izuku learns to love and be loved as he finds a place for himself in his growing family of spectres from the past and allies turned siblings-in-arms in the present.
Izuku's time at UA is turbulent. He fights demon lords, villains, gangsters, and shadows from the past, and begins to catch onto a larger escalation of conflict in the criminal underworld of the country he wishes to protect. Izuku may not have what it takes alone, even with power on par with great heroes long past and still emerging, but with his friends and mentors by his side, he can do it all. After all, it's a hero's job to turn dreams into reality.

The Liberation AU by Mr_Dex

Summary
A shadow has fallen over Japan. The Emperor, an immortal god king who wields hundreds of quirks, has brought peace with his law, but that peace is maintained by fear and violence. Superhuman society others those with no quirk, and those with powerful abilities are not spared from hardship, being conscripted into academies where they are taught to kill the Emperor's enemies indiscriminately under the guise of 'heroism', if their quirks are not stolen outright by the Emperor to add to his collection. The people live in fear of their rulers and of the so-called terrorists that oppose them, the revolutionary Paranormal Liberation Front, who fight back any way they can, even if it's a losing fight against such overwhelming power.
Everyone makes a choice when they grow up and step into the real world, including Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Ochako Uraraka. The choices they make as they navigate new adulthood and have the horrifying nature of their world thrust upon them will shake Japan to its foundations. Can the flame of hope survive in a cold, merciless world? Can the next generation grow up to be better than the one that came before, even if cruelty is all they know? Three wanna-be heroes are about to find out.

Summary
Izuku was born cursed. He has a Quirk that kills with a touch, a father that has poisoned his family name, a passive mother that does her best but can't protect him, a childhood friend who now blames him for his own psychopathic tendencies, and a goal that he feels is impossible to achieve.
Ochako feels that she was born lesser than others. Her parents can't make any money, her Quirk is perfect for a goal she can't pursue, she's got powerful forces pushing her into a decades-long conflict, UA High unearths all her insecurities, and she's in love with a boy that can't keep himself out of harm's way.
Shoto and Tenya were born into families with expectations for them. Endeavor and Ingenium, with their hellish flames and deific haste, push them toward their destinies but also hold them back, demanding that they be perfect yet forcing them to bear responsibilities too immense for any person to bear, much less children yet to find their way.
Unfortunately for the four of them, the world has many challenges for them to overcome. Unhinged former friends, serial killers, heartless arsonists, insane schoolgirls, psychopathic yakuza thugs, undying villains and more await them on their road to becoming true heroes.

Summary
Power always comes with a cost.
The stronger your quirk is, the faster your mind rots, leaving behind a bloodthirsty husk with the power of gods.
The powerless are the only ones with the power to withstand the Quirkrot.
Only the powerless can stay sane.
Only the powerless stay alive.
There are no heroes.
There are no villains.
There are only the hunted
And the Hunters.

Excellent character study. Heartbreaking yet hopeful. Shoto and Toya both feel very in-character.
