Summary
Izuku Midoriya has never really considered himself brave.
Sure, he gets into situations and makes it back out, and he charges into fights he really has no business interfering in, but that’s just basic human decency, half the time. A mix of desperation and god knows what else.
Izuku doesn’t think he’s particularly brave.
Every night, he wakes up with a wild heart and gasping breath and he has to bite down hard to stop himself from screaming.
Someone who’s brave wouldn’t be so damned scared all the time. Someone brave would stand up to fight instead of running away. Someone who’s brave wouldn’t still be caught up in old memories and nightmares.
Midoriya Izuku isn’t very brave.Ex-vigilante Izuku deals with the Overhaul Arc with his friends and family! He's dealing with some shit, but what can you do when you're quirkless and have been semi-regularly breaking the law and dealing with bloodthirsty supervillains?

Summary
Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”
The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.
or,
Izuku tries to pretend eveything is okay even though his homelife is crumbling around him, there's an insanely powerful Quirk that's not entirely his coursing through his veins, he suddenly knows his childhood hero, All Might, and to top it all off, he seems to have befriend a pastel blue-haired ghost that has way too much insider knowledge on Izuku's new homeroom teacher, and English teacher. He's really just trying to survive Yuuei...

Summary
Todoroki Shouto falls in love with Midoriya Izuku. Romance and matters of the heart don't exactly come naturally to him, though--so he takes it one step at a time.

But what is Izuku ready for?

Izuku stands there in the water for a moment, wondering vaguely when he’s going to come out of this strange dream. He seems to have arms and legs, which doesn’t make any sense. His fingers are moving too, so he knows this isn’t real.
Right?
Izuku is kidnapped by Overhaul the day he and Mirio try to save Eri. Ten days later he's rescued by Hawks and brought back to UA. This event changes everything.

Summary
Keith was asleep when the wristband on his blade suit lit up for the first time in weeks, letting him know he was receiving a video call. The faint lilac glow and gentle buzz had woken Keith up immediately, being used to waking up from a deep sleep to pick up a call from the castle whenever he could to talk to his friends. He couldn’t believe it. He thought Kolivan had told everyone that he and Krolia were MIA and probably presumed dead too, and that’s why they hadn’t called. Or more likely they had been calling and Space Signal didn’t extend to Quantum Abysses (Abyssi? What was the plural of Abyss, Keith wondered).
“Krolia!” He yelled, startling himself from his thoughts and her from her watch so badly that she hit her head on the cave’s wall.
“Keith! What has happened?” She panted, eyes frantic.
“They’re calling! They’re calling, we must’ve gotten a signal or they must have- wait I have to pick up before I lose them!” Keith taps his wrist and Lance’s face pops up on the holloscreen.
______________Basically, I didn't like that Keith and Krolia were completely isolated on the space whale for two years so I fixed it and I made it Klance because that's what I do.

Complicated Creation by Elemental

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
In the hero community, it’s common for popular heroes to have merchandise for sale. Amongst these items are a few staples: t-shirts, figurines, and, of course, replicas of their costumes. This is where Deku, a well-known YouTuber, comes into play. Deku’s Hero Analysis is a series where the host, Deku, dresses up in official pro hero costumes, then does an analysis of each hero and reviews some of their merchandise. Joining him is Hito-nyan, the sarcastic cameraman who never shows his face and loves to push Deku’s buttons.
And watching them is pro hero Todoroki Shouto, who absolutely, without a doubt, does not have a crush on Deku.
Except actually he does, which is fine, because it turns out they have a friend in common and getting to meet the adorable YouTube star is more likely to happen than he ever would have dreamed.Series

Watch Your Heroes Fall by b00mgh
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
01 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
News anchors are stationed nearby, blue fire rages over buildings, but the only ash in the air is from the thousands of flyers that drift from city rooftops to the ground.
On top of a bus stands Midoriya Izuku. His unremarkable green hair seems wild in the harsh light of Dabi’s flames. He’s flanked on either side by Shinsou Hitoshi and Yaoyorozu Momo, and in formation around them is the League of Villains.
People run screaming from the display, and news anchors know better than to get too close to the action when the League of Villains is involved– they’ve been known to injure and even kill bystanders on a whim.
The linchpin of the new group seems to be Midoriya Izuku, and as he laughs in an unhinged way and raves about the injustice of hero society, nobody is interested in what he’s saying so much as the fact that he is saying it. He’s gone off the deep end.
The pamphlets that litter the ground and begin to circulate online (even as the hero commission tries to censor them) read with just one line of text in red writing against a black background:
"Watch Your Heroes Fall"Izuku always wanted to be a hero, until he saw what being a hero meant. So he found a better way to help others.

Long Night in the Valley by Marsalias

Tags
Summary
On paper, the Hero Commission's plan to investigate Midoriya Izuku under the guise of a training course for combating mental quirks is solid; foolproof, even. If Midoriya turns out to be innocent, they can pass everything off as part of the training exercise, assuming he remembered any of it. Otherwise, they could beg forgiveness after the traitor was securely imprisoned in Tartarus.
The paper plan failed to take into account the feral ghosts living in Midoriya Izuku's head, or his equally feral living friends.
Time to bring on the chaos.

Summary
About a week after that, All Might asked Izuku if he was aiming for the hero course at UA. The question was so sudden that Izuku nearly dropped a microwave on his toes.
The truth was, if All Might had asked him that a week ago, there would have only been one possible answer to that question. All Might had gone to UA, UA was the best, so Izuku was going to go there too, if he could. But things were a little different, now that he was going to receive All Might’s Quirk.
“No,” he said, decisively.
All Might looked caught off guard, which was a very rare expression on him. “No?” he echoed, like he couldn’t believe it.
A laugh bubbled out of Izuku’s throat. He honestly couldn’t believe it either. “No,” he repeated.
___
Or, All Might tells Izuku about All for One before he gives him One for All, and everything changes.

We Didn't Break Then (So Don't Falter Now) by Otaku6337

Summary
Izuku and Aizawa survived the USJ timeloop. (They died so many times, killed and saved and failed over and over, and they'll forever be able to feel the blood on their hands-) They didn't break.But one success doesn't stop reality from returning, and the rest of their story is piling up in front of them, demanding to be faced. And what are heroes to do but to keep fighting?
So they'll keep on moving, and they won't break now.
~
"Thank you, Shouta." It's a deliberate word choice, just like it was when they left the USJ and when they left the Midoriya apartment, as it is deliberate how Izuku reaches out, palm-up and fingers splayed, bloodstains and a single rose-gold shimmer laid bare.
And Aizawa slips his own callouses and bloodstains against it, not-now rust flaking away between their warmth, and they squeeze thrice, just like in their death throes and promises and quiet grief. Like this, with this, things will be alright. Together, they'll make sure of it.~
