Summary
Midoriya Izuku is having a terrible day. He’s told to take a swan dive off of a roof, nearly suffocated by a villain, told he couldn’t be a hero by his favorite hero of all people - and all of that’s before he gets kidnapped by a giant, tentacled ship flying through the sky and has a worm put into his brain alongside a hero who tried to save him.
What in the hell is a quirkless kid supposed to do in this situation? The only thing he can, he supposes - try his best.
OR: A Baldur's Gate 3/My Hero Academia crossover wherein Midoriya and Aizawa are taken by the Mind Flayer ship as it attempts to flee the githyanki and both wind up in the middle of a plot concocted by an evil, terrifying cult. Midoriya wants to help, Aizawa wants Midoriya to stop running headfirst into danger, and everyone who meets them wants to know what the hell an All Might is.

Summary
After the Shie Hassaikai's involvement at Kamino Ward, things have changed drastic ways. All for One is dead, and someone must fill the void he left behind. While people scramble to grab power in the vacuum, something is brewing where most heroes do not tread: heroes are working with yakuza, the yakuza are making moves unheard of since the rise of All Might, and ahead, the enemy known as the Hero Public Safety Commission awaits them both.
The Caretaker of the Shie Hassaikai will certainly have a lot he must care for in the days to come.

Summary
After the sludge villain incident, Midoriya Izuku is charged with vigilantism. To serve his probation after a legal case rigged against him, he’s ordered to live away from his mother for a year and attend Shujin Academy out in Tokyo. In his first few days in Tokyo, Izuku makes his first real friend, comes to live with a guardian who’s determined to earn his trust, is asked to a personal meeting with the Number One Hero… and awakens the power of Persona on top of it all. He’ll take this power and be a hero on his own terms - even if being a hero means being called a vigilante or a thief.
(A Persona 5 Royal/My Hero Academia crossover)

Summary
Some of the kids would definitely be harder to help than others, and she likely would have to prioritize and address the problems as they came up, but she had every confidence that she could solve most if not all of the immediate issues she came across.
Let it be known that Ms. Joke never backed down from a challenge.
-----------
The lives of Class 1-A and those around them changed the day Midoriya Izuku was expelled. But now, at a different school and with a different outlook, perhaps they can begin to heal.
A look into how Ketsubutsu - and Ms. Joke in particular - changes each person’s life for the better.

What Isn't Being Said by daylightbreaks

Summary
The Hero Public Safety Commission implements a new publicity stunt meant to drum up some good PR. Heroes and civilians will get anonymously paired up as pen pals for a few months. Fans get to talk to heroes, and the HPSC gets to say their heroes are down-to-earth and involved with the people. It’s a win-win. All Might doesn’t need the publicity, but he feels like it’s a good opportunity nonetheless, so he enrolls in the event.
Problem is, All Might’s pen pal writes some pretty concerning stuff. He’s sure the kid is being bullied. And even worse… the ‘anonymous’ person on the other side begins to sound a lot like a certain successor of his. He’s going to get to the bottom of this. And if he finds out somebody’s hurt a single hair on his student’s head? Well… he’s the number one hero for a reason.
(AKA: the dadmight-centric Aldera Faces Consequences fic I’ve always wanted to write.)

Summary
“Taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you’re more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.” - Bette Greene
In another world, Chisaki Kai is a ruthless, cruel man who stops at nothing to rid the world of quirks. In this one, however, he draws lines: one being Eri. He cares for her, treats her like his own daughter. And for his precious daughter, he needs somebody to help care for her, somebody who isn’t one of the Eight Bullets or a member of the Yakuza.
Enter one Midoriya Izuku: quirkless, protective, and the perfect candidate to be her babysitter. Now if only Chisaki could just stop worrying about the boy, too, that would be great. (No, Chronostasis, he does not have ‘paternal instincts,’ thank you very much!)
Or: Midoriya Izuku (accidentally) turns the Yakuza into the

Summary
“Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.” - Javik, Mass Effect 3
When Midoriya Izuku’s mother dies in a villain attack, he feels as though there’s nothing in his life left worth living for. After his mother’s funeral, a wormhole opens up in front of him. Izuku walks in, uncaring of where it takes him or what it might do to him. He just wants to get away from a life that has nothing left for him.
Conversely, during a mission one Commander Jane Shepard ends up in a lab where a scientist has been studying alternate realities, branching timelines. Shepard soon realizes the scientist was successful with one of their prototypes, and she’s shocked when a depressed, injured and underweight teenager walks right out of the unstable wormhole. What is she supposed to do with a kid?
This is the story of how Midoriya Izuku became the hero the Milky Way galaxy never knew it needed - and the son Commander Shepard never knew she’d have.

This is how the existence of soulmarks forever changes Izuku and the world around him.

Summary
Izuku prayed Yagi was alright. He had to be. Izuku didn’t think he would be the same without him there. He was All Might. He was Yagi Toshinori. He was his mentor. He was the man who Izuku trusted more than anybody in the entire world. And that, that one thing above all else, was the most important to Izuku, because how could he go on knowing that the person who made him feel the safest was gone?
He felt more useless than ever right now, not knowing where his mentor was.

Yagi Toshinori goes missing four months before the U.A entrance exam. Midoriya Izuku will stop at nothing to get back his beloved mentor.

Summary
His mother’s smile wasn’t unnatural by any means. In fact, if he didn’t know better, Shouto might’ve thought this was his mother. But here he was, standing outside of the Todoroki manor when he should’ve been in the U.A dorms, with his mother, who should’ve been in the hospital, standing beside him. And… he was cold. Despite the two halves of his quirk usually regulating his body temperature unless he was actively using one half over the other, he was just… cold. Both halves of him.
“How did I get here?” Shouto asked his not-mother. Was this a dream?

Summary
No, the shadows sound sad, empty in a way he cannot comprehend. You are only a child, but you are fading. You are broken. You hurt, and hurt, and hurt, and you do not stop. The good feels so far away, does it not? I cannot change your mind so easily. I cannot stop you. If you are ready… I welcome you with open arms.
Izuku is thankful. Grateful. Nothing else has ever welcomed him so wholly.

All of man is equal in the end, and sometimes, death can be kind.
