Summary
When a violent turf war breaks out between rival villain gangs, a civilian is caught in the crossfire and killed, and the Number One Hero Endeavor is called to quell the fighting and restore peace.
Shouto has been trapped working for his father since graduating high school, his life and career firmly under Endeavor's control. Determined to keep his masterpiece from striking out on his own, Endeavor gives him an assignment that will keep him as far from the public eye as possible: bodyguarding Midoriya Izuku, the sole witness to the murder.

Summary
Izuku doesn't ever tell anybody about Bakugou's bullying. That silence shapes both of their futures and the redemption arc set up for Bakugou in canon. So here's a closer look at that silence, eventually breaking it, and Izuku's own frustration with it.
(Also there's parallels with Todoroki and Endeavour, #quality)

Summary
“What was the question? Something about their quirk?”
Izuku’s shoulders dropped slightly.
“I asked them if someone without a quirk could become a hero.”
Stendhal-san snorted. Izuku’s shoulders nearly covered his ears. He knew, he heard it from All Might already, he didn’t need to have Stendhal-san repeat it, too-
“Obviously,” Stendhal-san said, leaning back on his arms. “Quirks are merely tools; plenty of heroes have perfect quirks and not an ounce of heroism in their blood. You’re already more of a hero than numbers 2 through 10, combined.”
Izuku could feel the tears slipping down his cheeks, sobbing at the words he had been yearning to hear for so long.
“Did they- did they not say that?” Stendhal-san asked, startled by Izuku’s reaction.
***
Or, in other words: the five times Izuku learned something about Stendhal-san, and the one time he got to use everything he knew.

Whumptober Prompts: Disorientation, Concussion, Hypothermia, Carrying, Secondary Drowning
An off-campus trip to a training facility for cold-weather rescues leads to a villain attack that causes Midoriya to need some rescuing of his own.
~Or~
Aizawa should really consider not letting his kids off campus at all. It never goes well. He has enough nightmares about their past excursions gone-wrong. And dragging a half-frozen kid out of a frozen lake is definitely something that will haunt him forever.

Your honour, may I request a new client? by Angelsan005
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
22 Apr 2026

Summary
Midoriya works at a criminal law firm as a defending attorney in Musutafu, Japan. He’s a humble guy but despite his quirklessness he’d say he’s managed to secure a pretty reputable image for himself among detectives and lawyers alike.
However, his newest client proves to be his biggest challenge yet, and someone needs to tell him it would be much easier to get the guy acquitted if he could just stop trying to escape jail before his court trial!
Shinsou didn’t mean to get caught. But now that he had been, he decided to take advantage of the naïve and way too optimistic lawyer that was appointed to him for his case. With a man on the inside, the amount of real criminals that the insomniac could take down was endless.
OR
The ‘Lawyer Midoriya’ & ‘Vigilante Shinsou’ duo act no one asked for.

no solution but to let the pieces fall where they fall by SpiritusRex

Summary
On Izuku's desk in the UA teacher's office sits a small desk organizer, a cheap thing made partly of synthesized wood and partly of plastic, with a few drawers for papers and office supplies. In it, Izuku keeps extra pens, paperclips, his current journal, and printed copies of every invitation to join someone's agency that he's received since getting his suit.
Every one of his friends with their own agency has sent him one. Open hands extended towards him, ready to lift him up into the world he's so late arriving to. The only friend he doesn't have an actual physical and official written invitation from is Katsuki, who always springs it on him verbally when Izuku is least ready for it, as if trying to startle Izuku into accepting.
That doesn't make the offer less real to Izuku, though. In fact, it's probably the only one that he finds himself fighting off thoughts of the most. The only one he ever feels genuinely tempted—despite his efforts not to be—to accept.
After his triumphant return to hero work, Izuku's friends notice that he has rejected any and every offer he's gotten to join an agency.
They decide a bit of an intervention is in order.

Summary
So Katsuki is confident that there isn't that much that he doesn't know about Deku, and he puts the thought of maybe I don't know Deku very well anymore firmly out of his mind, out of even the realm of possibility.
This kind of minor personal bullshit isn't important to becoming the Number 1 Hero. Really, the fact that Katsuki even let himself think about it at all is ridiculous. Those are braincells and seconds he'll never get back.
He doesn't care about Deku enough to even want to know him better.
(At least, that's what he tells himself. Again and again, furiously, with his molars grinding together and his own glare piercing him through the mirror, forcing himself to believe it.)
Katsuki isn't very practiced at accepting when he was wrong about something, so of course there's an adjustment period after realizing he was wrong about Deku.

Summary
“Would you like to make a bet?”
It’s delivered in the same polite, measured tone Todoroki uses for almost everything, which only makes the offer more unsettling.
“Uh.”
If it will make him go away, Hitoshi might consider it.
__
Todoroki bets Shinsou that he won’t last a week in Class 2A without making at least one friend. He’s pretty confident he’ll get the money.
Too bad Midoriya only knows how to make friends by hurting himself.

Summary
Aizawa Shouta was tired.
Crouched on the edge of the roof as he was, he observed the streets below him silently. He was coming to the end of his patrol, and if everything remained as it was, he'd be able to catch a decent nap before having to report in to the school for another round of proctoring.
Which, of course, is when he saw the kid being chased down the alley.
***
Or Izuku is your average 21st-century kid. Being sucked through a time-traveling portal and dropped in the middle of a fantasy world with supervillains was not his idea for a good start to the new school year. Good thing he has everyone's favorite underground hero keeping an eye on him. With a hero by his side, how much trouble could he possibly get into while trying to find his way back home?

Summary
Attempting to break the ice, Aizawa casually asked, "So, you're a hero fan I take it?"
He'd expected an easy 'yes', something they could build the bones of a conversation off, but the kid's face darkened.
It was like someone had flipped an invisible switch. Like Midoriya was expecting to be attacked, or worse.
"No, I hate them." The boy's lips curled into a grimace, his hand trembling where it was clenching into a tight fist. Any tighter, and Aizawa wouldn't be surprised if his palm started dripping blood. "I hate heroes."
Or, four times Midoriya didn't tell the truth―and one time he did. Featuring Adopted Izuku and Parental Aizawa shenanigans.

Summary
Shouta had planned the off-campus patrols to be a safe and reliable method of building trust between students, and a way to crack his two problem children open and figure out what makes them so incredibly determined to oppose each other at every turn.
He just hadn’t planned cracking them open to be literal.
Or, Shouta goes digging into Midoriya and Bakugou’s past, and a collapsing building and a villain with a fear quirk gives him more than he bargained for.

Summary
“Deku, what the fuck,” It’s almost indistinguishable from his usual tone, but Izuku doesn’t miss the way his voice is shaking a bit. It takes him by surprise to see his childhood friend look so distraught over this.
Izuku grabs for the counter to help himself up while maintaining his gaze. “Kacchan,” he says again. He thinks he must look pathetic. He doesn’t know what else to say. ‘Help me, Kacchan’? ‘Go away’?
His mouth stays open, as if it were stuck like this, just gaping. “Kacchan,” he repeats, but now he sounds desperate, because he is. “I think I’m dying.”
Izuku is hit by a quirk that stops him from sleeping, his friends are worried and Aizawa needs a break.- Language:

Summary
“It’s okay to be scared,” Eraserhead says. “I’d be scared too, if I didn’t know where I was or how I got there.”
The tears Izuku managed to hold back earlier fill his eyes again, and he bites hard at his lip. He’s seven now; he has to be brave. “I’m okay,” he says softly. “Th-thank you for saving me.”
Those strange, dark eyes soften a little. “It’s my job,” he says simply.
Still. Izuku never got to thank him, the first time.
Izuku gets hit by a quirk that de-ages him to seven years old, and relearns what it means to be taken care of.

Summary
Hitoshi has a thing about voices.
Part of it's because of his Quirk, probably. He's always listening for that reply. It's the opening, the chink in a person's armor that lets his own voice slip in and hijack their brain. But part of it is that most people are wary around him, so when someone does talk, particularly to him, it stands out.

Summary
It was not better in the morning.
If anything, it was almost worse. All Izuku found himself thinking as he got ready for class was how much he did not want to go. His classmates all hate him and they want nothing to do with him. He doesn’t deserve to be at UA, he shouldn’t be here at all-
He’s more anxious than he was on the first day of school, and it’s getting progressively harder to hide.
OR: Izuku has a bad day, but for once it's not his fault.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku just needed a break. It'd been so long since he'd had one, and it was supposed to be a stress-free day. But then he'd been walking through the mall and had seen the little girl, crying and lost. He'd helped her, because that's what heroes did.
He didn't expect for a frightened child to use her Quirk on him, a first for the both of them. At first, it's an innocent Seismic Quirk...
And then Izuku goes to bed.
