The Redemption Hotline (Press 1 for Sass, 2 for Snacks) by MuffinMansWife
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
28 May 2025
Tags
Summary
Izuku Midoriya sat cross-legged on the squeaky chair in the cramped basement of U.A. High, sipping cold tea from a mug that read ‘Empathy Is My Superpower’. He leaned closer to the mic, a smile in his voice.
“Oh buddy, you called the right place.”
A beat passed. Then came a wobbly laugh.
Redemption Hotline – Call #274. Caller: “GoopMaster89.” Quirk: gelatinous acid hands. Current crime level: 3 (minor theft, some light property damage, poor self-esteem). Diagnosis: society-failed-you syndrome. Prescription: sass, snacks, and a little validation.
Izuku queued up a care package order—including lavender-scented stress putty and a custom sticker that read “You’re not evil, just under-hugged”.
The hotline had started as a joke. A way to keep would-be villains from spiraling by letting them talk to someone who wasn’t going to yell or arrest them. Nobody expected anyone to actually call.
Until they did.
And then they kept calling.
or izuku is an ex-villain & genuinely wants to help people. (ft. dazawa, dramatic izuku & many many granola bars)

Summary
Maybe that was why, when he woke up in a windowless room he didn’t recognize, on a couch he didn’t recognize, in clothes he didn’t recognize, Deku didn’t panic. His first thought had been “someone must have saved me” and he felt the warmth of the blanket that covered him seep into his chest.
His second thought was “would getting kidnapped really be that bad compared to how I was living before?”
Loneliness did strange things to a person's psyche.

Summary
"A multiverse is still a universe inside of one."
- Anthony T. Hincks
For every choice we make or event that happens, there are several worlds where they simply didn't occur. These countless chain reactions prompt a domino effect of sorts, that tumbles and clatters until it spirals into something new, something extraordinary.
For Midoriya Izuku, a man born powerless, what exactly would happen if fate had been cruel and given him a quirk?
This is not the story of Deku, legacy of One for All. This is the tale of Jörmungandr, World Serpent!

Summary
Danny takes on a new moniker when he starts up business in Gotham as a human, but this time, he's not the hero. A vigilante to the core, taking risks and shots for the greater good at another's expense.
With his memories holding his left hand and his responsibilities holding his right, Gotham seems like the perfect place to hide.
Until he's got a clock over his head, ticking away to an unknown end.
i.e. Danny steals from the waynes and now have the bats on his tail, too bad for them the only one to have spotted Danny is the Red Hood himself. Maybe the halfa can trust the resident crime lord with his teeny tiny issue with the government. What's a little treason to murder, right?

Yesterday Upon The Stair by PitViperOfDoom

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.

Summary
When Hitoshi wishes for a new friend on Tatabana, he's expecting to have someone who isn't scared of him to eat lunch with at school, and maybe to play video games with him—not that he's going to eventually get tangled up with hundred-year-old Quirks and monsters; or be searching for his boyfriend in the pouring rain in the middle of the night with his boyfriend's boyfriend, praying he hasn't been killed yet.
It's worth it, though. Probably.
Or: Izuku and Hitoshi are childhood friends.

Summary
Children grow up fearing the beast below the mattress or under the stairs, crouching in cramped closets and hiding in the dark alleys. They grow up believing their parents when they are told they can’t hurt you.
Because monsters aren't real, right?
Izuku is gifted with an odd quirk of sharp claws and glowing eyes- a target for cruel words and harsh phrases. Freak. Useless.
For years, he longed for his power to one day evolve and strengthen- no longer wanting to be considered the useless freak no matter where he stood. Wanting to be more than something people sneered or raised a brow at.
Only when his quirk suddenly bursts into something of pure horror, something more than the word freak, Izuku wishes he swallowed those words.
Four year old Izuku feared the beasts bellow his mattress. He feared the monsters his mother tried to say didn’t exist.
But as Izuku aged he soon found himself no longer afraid of what didn’t exist. But he feared what stared right back at him in the bathroom mirror.- Language:

Summary
You had forgotten what you used to be like before the war. Who you were before Sans.
You resigned yourself to dying like the rest of the rotting corpses on the battlefield, glorified title of the "Judge" nothing more than another meaningless name to be forgotten. Everyone you cared about was dead and gone, and Papyrus no longer looked you in the eye. You were ready for it to end in a blaze of glory.
You hadn't anticipated being caught in the crossfires of a malfunctioning machine, bringing you to an alternate, peaceful universe with other versions of yourselves.

Shadows: The Horror Movie Heroes by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown)
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
22 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.
So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.
The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’
This fic has a discord.

Summary
All the monsters arriving though brought more and more magic to the world, and it was still traveling down the mountain in an invisible mist, and with that came trouble for the humans. Everyone was affected, but to a varying degree. You were one of the ones living around Ebbot, so it had hit you first, an illness that had been later dubbed as soul sickness. It was agony.
It was weeks later when you had awoken, and the whole world had changed, it looked almost comically large to you, what once was a small cup needed two hands and a lot of strength to hold, and that was without it being filled by liquid.
------------------
Purely self indulgent fic where reader gets shrunk down by magic and after being rescued by an adoption centre they get adopted by some skeletons looking to find someone to help their brothers out of their depression.

Soulmates were a blessing - but they could also be a curse. Izuku's was a curse, because that was just his luck. Izuku's Soulmate was a Villain, and that meant if anyone found out his life and career was over before it could even start.
Well it's a good thing Aizawa, the only person who knows, doesn't plan on telling anyone.
