Worse Than Useless, Better Than Nothing by hedonistic_saint

Summary
Beaten, bitter, and finally broken, Midoriya Izuku decides to run away (again) and make his own way in the world. He'll become a better hero than those fakes! Even if it's technically illegal...
He’s got a habit of biting off more than he can chew, but that’s okay as long as he’s doing some good in the world! Good thing there are a handful of people who are desperate to keep him alive.
Izuku’s got a lot to learn a lot about family, community, and what exactly makes someone 'good' or 'bad.' This world's not all black and white after all. And when most of the people in power are worse than useless, sometimes the best you can hope for is to be better than nothing.

Summary
Will didn't expect to spill his coffee on a random stranger some random Monday morning, much like Nico didn't expect to get stuck talking about the worst topic ever for his English Senior Thesis-- love. Maybe, though, this stranger spilling coffee and ruining his copy of Pride and Prejudice is a good thing, and maybe he'll even come out of it with a different perspective on love. Nico di Angelo was nothing if stubborn, and some random blond with azure blue eyes couldn't possibly sway his perception of love that easily. Right?
Not necessarily enemies, but mutual dislike to lovers slow burn with parallels and references to Pride and Prejudice, as well as based on Forever Winter by Taylor Swift. Ratings may change in the future depending on what I deem necessary, and tags will be updated with each chapter. Enjoy <3

Summary
"He would become the greatest son he could be. He would never disappoint her and not make her do more work than she had to. He would be perfect.
This would prove to be rather difficult"
Izuku wants to make his mother proud, he wants his family back. That this is an impossible endeavor is meaningless to him, he will do everything it takes. If he has to learn how to be a hero without a quirk so be it.
That doesn't mean that the pain he has been through hurts any less though. Will it destroy him? Will there be anyone left to pick up the pieces?

Pied Piper by Blackholeca

Summary
If they wouldn’t give him a chance then the solution seemed simple, he’d give himself one. He’d force the world to see him, force them to recognize his hard work. He wasn’t missing a quirk, it was simply that everyone else had been given an advantage. He wasn’t broken, or useless, or incapable, and he’d prove it by outrunning all of them, he who was quirkless, he who had started in last.
[UA rejects Midoriya from the hero course and he finds salvation in vigilantism.]

Summary
Despite what everyone around him believed, Izuku did have a quirk.
A quirk which convinced people he was quirkless.
Yeah.
So when he was offered the chance to inherit All Might’s quirk, Izuku believed that he could finally be the hero that he'd always wanted to be.
Nothing in Izuku's life could be that simple.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya lives two lives. By day, a sleep-deprived, scholarship science student in Tokyo. By night, the city’s masked myth. No license. No fame. Just webs, bruises, and a promise to save someone before it’s too late. He was Spider-Man.
Katsuki Bakugo transferred mid-semester. Now he sits across the lecture hall, eyes still sharp, voice still cracked thunder. Still blunt. Still heartbreakingly beautiful.
Now working for Ground Zero Security, Tokyo’s elite enforcers who hunt vigilantes like Izuku.
His heart? Screwed.

Summary
Katsuki never thought he’d be the kind of guy to spend any amount of time in a bar. His parents hardly drank, and he never enjoyed it much when he tried it in high school or his early college days. He didn’t like the taste, and he hated not being in control of his own mind and body. Besides, that shit was terrible for your health, and he was trying to keep to a strict student-athlete regiment. He couldn’t keep his 4.0, set multiple records on the swim team, and go hang out with a bunch of inebriated slackers every weekend night. Why would he even want to?
Stupid fucking Midoriya Izuku, that’s why.

Summary
Izuku is sick and tired of being belittled and considered weak.
He made it into UA!
Quirkless!
But as teachers and students continued to gossip about his so-called weaknesses, he grew tired.
He didn’t want to believe that UA would be just like every other school, but the truth was right there in front of him.
He only had one job left to do.
Prove them wrong.
(Edit: Ignore the graveyard server link, it doesnt exist. IDK if the pen strokes one does, but thats the writers cove now and I don't own it <3)
I also ended up in the hospital when I was writing this... oh well

Summary
Izuku is in the Support Course, perfectly happy having given up his dream of being a Hero long ago. It’s just not possible for him with the nature of his quirk. As long as he continues to manage his quirk, life should be easy sailing. . . right? The teachers of UA think otherwise and become particularly concerned when he and Hatsume help in a training course. All his life, Izuku has kept moving foward. It's how he survived. But if he wants to keep moving forward, he will have to finally face his past.

Summary
He was not an idiot, and soon enough, he noticed it too. When Mina broke up with Kiri, Katsuki was the first one at his side. He stayed in the redhead’s room for hours, consoling him and giving him a shoulder to cry on. He canceled training with Izuku to get Kirishima back on his feet. He pushed back their dates to cook dinner for him. He disregarded Izuku’s texts to spend time with him.
And Izuku, tragically, understood.
As the first petal tumbled from his busted lips after returning from patrol one March evening in their third year, he understood perfectly.

Summary
“Congratulations on getting nine out of ten questions correct! Without further ado, let’s move on to the last question..” Hanazawa paused for dramatic effect as the lights dimmed and the spotlights overhead honed in on their podiums.
“What is … your hero partner’s type?”
A brief silence.
“‘Type?’” Izuku questioned at the same time as Kacchan.
“Yes, type,” the host laughed. “Like, who would they date? What are they into?”
The blood drained from Izuku’s face and he shot a panicked look at Kacchan. The blond didn’t seem to be faring any better, his gaze zeroed in on Hanazawa as if he could will her to change the question to something else.
Izuku... didn't know the answer to that.
--
In order to increase their popularity rankings as up and coming pro heroes, Izuku and Katsuki participate in the most popular late night talk show for hero duos - ‘Heroes Rising!’. They’re killing it, obviously, because they know each other from inside and out. Until one question stumps the two of them: “What is your hero partner’s type?”

“Is it morally reprehensible to ask out a guy you hit with your car?” Katsuki blurts as all four of them just stare at him.
After a long pause of silence, Kaminari says, “Is he cute?”
“Duh,” Katsuki answers, thinking back to all those stupid freckles and smiles. Then he thinks about ‘pretty boy’. “And possibly interested.”

Summary
Izuku's life is going amazingly well, with his Twitch channel where he streams himself playing video games and discussing the nerdiest things imaginable hitting 3 million followers, his best friend as his roommate, and his other close friends as tight-knit as they've been since high school. The only possible road bump is his viewer's continuous demands to know who "Kacchan" is - thanks to Katsuki often coming into his room during streams and Izuku's repeated attempts to pull him into video game competitions - and, more importantly, if they're dating. Which is crazy.
