Summary
Izuku Midoriya used to want to be a hero. It seems a distant dream, now, after everything that he's done—after everything that he's been made to do. But it's still there. It's a dim, flickering flame, burning lower by the day.
He doesn't have time to concern himself with that though, these days he's too focused on staying alive to think too much about what he can never have.
Then All Might takes a job teaching at UA, and the universe says hey you know what would be fun? What if we fucked Izuku over even more than we already have? and thus, Izuku ends up in the General Education class of UA with strict instructions to report everything he can, because, thank fucking no one, he just can't catch a goddamn break.
AKA Hisashi Midoriya is a member of one of the most notorious underground supervillain organizations, and Izuku is being forced to help them (even though, trust him, he'd really rather not). Too bad that they don't predict that Izuku's going to get adopted by half the faculty when they send him to spy on the prestigious hero academy.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku goes missing as a child. No villain is ever held accountable, no one ever brings his mother any answers. For ten years, the only people who remember the quiet, Quirkless boy are Inko and Bakugo Katsuki. They both feel his loss in different, inexplicable ways.
Eraserhead's been on the hunt for an elusive villain only known by the press as 'Ghost'. No fingerprints, blood, or evidence of any kind can ever be found at the scene of the crimes. All of the villain's cases inevitably run cold.
Izuku wishes he'd been born Quirkless after all. Maybe then, he could've believed in heroes. Maybe then, he could've turned into someone good.

Summary
The letters were slanted to the right, unlike his own handwriting. His eyes widened. All Might left him a note.
“I’m sorry to make my stay so brief. Had you been conscious, I would have stayed to chat. Your notes are very detailed and you seem to understand even the minute points of my and my colleagues quirks. It is quite an impressive feat. I’m sure some of them would use your ideas. I wish you good luck on your journey to becoming a hero!”
Midoriya was shaking in his seat. All might believed in him. Maybe he really could do this. Maybe he could be a hero. And yet…
There was no way Midoriya could pass a test meant for flashy hero quirks. It was like a race through a pitch black cave without a light while everyone else had industrial grade spotlights.
----------
Midoriya decides to say screw you to all the haters and joins General Education in order to become the first Quirkless Hero.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya has endured a decade of abuse, ridicule, and social ostracization due to his status as 'Quirkless'. Even his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugou, has tossed him aside and made it a mission to drill his uselessness home. But despite his obstacles and the derision of his peers, Izuku will never give up on his dream of being a hero, and will never feel shame for being called Quirkless.
Because it's easier than acknowledging that he has a Quirk at all.

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic is a great read for fans of Izuku with a quirk that basically makes him an eldritch abomination.
If you're not a fan of angst or reading about characters going through a very tough emotional time, then this is NOT the fic for you. But otherwise I think it's really good. -
