Summary
Ichigo’s body is not a house. That is the problem. His body is one that has forgotten what it means to hold anything, or anyone.
When he meets Urahara’s eyes, this is the only thing he knows for sure.
I am a body without home, and so I am a boy with no obstacles to leaving. I am an unanchored chain: useless when alone.

wake up when you're ready (no body, no grave) by artofflorescence

Summary
What makes a grave is the body. Otherwise, it’s a hole in the ground. We will only call it remains when we know someone used to be there.
Jason is the grave. Contrary to popular belief, graves do not only exist below. He is what remains, and he is above.
(Eventually, Jason rises from the dead enough times that it stops feeling like it's costing all that much to die.)

Summary
Jason keeps finding ghosts of himself in other kids.
And can't really seem to escape this whole magic thing.
Or the whole dying thing.
(And time does not wait for you to get back on your feet. Or your head screwed on straight).

Summary
Wherein the grief comes from how 1) no one noticed. 2) no one asked them to stay.
Or: red shoes tell many stories, and this one is probably the worst of them.
Or: All for One stays dead, Tenko is quirkless, Izuku is quirkless, and this is how we die.

i did not think it would hurt like this (but here i am) by artofflorescence
Fandom 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
29 Sep 2021
Summary
In a universe where Midoriya Izuku and Todoroki Shouto each have their own demons, but healing does not come so easy. Or at all. Because the world was not kind to them, and they could do nothing but hurt in silence. (Closure is not so easily found when the people who hurt you are untouchable).
At least they have each other. (What else is there?)

Summary
A series of stand-alone one shots focused around Midoriya Izuku suffering, a lot. With a heavy dose of angst and major character death.

Summary
“What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”
And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.
“I want to go to college.”
And Talia had made that happen for him.
(AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

Summary
When he first meets him, a curse stuffed down his throat by his own doing and a malevolence brewing in his belly that isn’t his own, Yuuji doesn’t know what to think of Gojo Satoru.
He can't decide whether the guy is a delightful asshole in name and face, or a subtly distant person that measures up when he's needed. It's confusing, and more than a little difficult to figure out in between the chaos of learning how to be a sorcerer; learning how to live with his new skin-deep friends; learning that maybe, his truth isn't much more than a hollow one.
In learning that his odd teacher is just another one of them, just as wordless in anything that matters, and just as human when it counts. There's a person below that blindfold, and it's as surprising as it isn't to twist along in the maze, until he learns enough to find him.

Summary
The first mark Izuku gets is a slight brush of green across his temple. It’s the soft touch of a mother holding her son for the first time. Inko has one to match, the same shade of green staining the tips of her fingers. Hers is more noticeable; Izuku’s tends to blend into his hairline.
He loves it anyways. He has to. It’s the only soulmate mark he has.
(Or: how Izuku goes from just green to a rainbow, UA-style.)Series

Summary
Izuku burns.
Fire crackles beneath him, sending sparks flying past his face, and golden flames ripple across his skin. However, he lies helpless in it, unable to move or call for help. Like a discarded doll with no power over its body, his limbs remain limp, despite his mental urging. All the while, the fire burns.
However, between the gaps in the flames, colors spirals. A kaleidoscope of purple, orange, green, blue, red, and pink swirls around him, never moving past the barrier of the fire, yet moving ever closer.
"So you're the next," a voice whispers.
***
Basically a self-indulgent fic where Izuku gets all the love he deserves from DadMight and a very haunted quirk
