Summary
There's no such thing as happily ever after. 10 years in the future, all is well. For now.
Izuku and Shouto are finally married. They head off to Greece for a magical getaway, unaware Izuku has a super fan who's starting to get a little too... Invested. Dekumania is a Crazy force.
Touya and Keigo realize they want to be parents. Just as the wants appear, they get their wish granted rather unexpectedly.
Natsuo on his way to work finds a handsome stranger washed up on the beach. Hauntingly beautiful but no memories of where he came from or how he got there. "Mura" as he is named and Natsuo grow close, fast.
Tenko has no idea who he is. Or what he can become. When your father is All Might and your older brother is Deku what else is there for you to achieve? What else is there for him to be? On top of that, he's starting to have weird feelings toward one of his very good friends...
Then things, as they usually do for this family, go horribly, horribly wrong.

Summary
A boy made of lies that were all supposed to mean something. His quirk, his past, his NAME, all carefully built to mean nothing. But it never goes according to plan. Izuku thought he had everything handled, under control. His quirk is nothing, like everyone thinks it is. His past is locked away, where it can't hurt anyone anymore. His name? Fake, obviously. Both of them.
How long can this relative peace last when a desperate vigilante bites off more than he can chew? How will run-ins with heroes, villains, and a strange girl with a penchant for knives alter the course of history?
Meanwhile, a different girl sits on a beach, an outcast from birth. A destiny approaches her, brought on by one lucky chance and a conversation with a man the shadow of what he used to be. When destiny and the public eye prove to be too much, who will be there to pick up the pieces?
And what's wrong with these quirks?
This is the beginning of something more.
----
Or, Izuku has AFO and nothing ever goes according to plan. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

Starborn Hero by NotMasonPines

Summary
In canon, Izuku turned out to be quirkless, despite both his parents having quirks: one that attracts small objects and one that breathes fire. There are so many ways for these quirks to have combined into what could’ve been Izuku’s, and so many of these potential combinations can be seen across the multiverse. In this specific one, however, Izuku Midoriya is born with a star in his stomach and plasma coursing through his veins…That’s sure to affect a few things in his life, for better and for worse.
A healthy dose of the butterfly effect, plenty of quirk theory and analysis, unconventional relationships and dilemmas, a revamped curriculum and more await Izuku and the others, in a world that seems so similar yet so different once you look closer.
(Previously ‘Quirk: Starborn’)“Izuku, promise me you’ll be just like the Sun, the brightest star in the sky. That way, when I and everyone else all over the world look up, we’ll know it’s you.”

Summary
Izuku Midoriya was 4 when he learned that not all men are created equal
Hitoshi Shinsou was 5 when he learned that not all men are created equal.
Shouto Todoroki was 6 when he learned that not all men are created equal.
Katsuki Bakugou was 7 when he learned that not all men are created equal.
Momo Yaoyorozu was 8 when she learned that not all men are created equal.
All children learn it at one point or another, but the Midoriya children are different. This fact of life hit them harder than most, but do you know what sets them apart?
They did something about it.Alternatively: The story of how Inko Midoriya ends up with 15 vigilante children, 3 young kids, 3 older kids, 2 hero kid-in-laws, a husband that lights things on fire when he sneezes, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Why Are We Here Again? by cloud_nine_and_three_quarters
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia

Summary
The brighter the light, the darker the shadows. And in a super-powered society, those shadows are dark indeed. But whilst the world desperately trained more and more heroes, making that light brighter and brighter, the prestigious hero school, UA, had another idea. Why not tackle the problem at its source?
And so was born the infamous class 1-A. Would-be criminals from all over the country were selected, and a group of twenty now roam the halls of the school, alongside the heroes of the next generation.
Last year, the entirety of Mr Aizawa’s class A graduated. But this year was different. No, he didn’t believe they would all graduate back into society like the classes before them. He believed they could become something bigger. That was why, with gritted teeth and a manic smile, Eraser Head turned to his new class of students and said:
"You aren't villains - you never were, and you never will be. But you can take that fire inside of you and put it to good use. We're in a hero school, aren't we? Well then...
"Let's be heroes."

Blank Canvas: Renaissance by jokeraddict0
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
17 May 2026

Summary
This is part 4 of my Blank Canvas AU. If you have not read the first three parts, you should do that before starting this one. ;) On to the summary!
Life has never been easy for Izuku. Every step of the way he has had to give 100% effort just to get the bare minimum. And yet, despite his many hardships, Izuku has always remained optimistic. A much needed quality after his life has once again gone to shit. A hospitalized mother and a Villain father with no home to return to, Izuku is now a ward of UA. But Izuku will not let this stop him. No person, no threat, no Quirk was going to hold him back from pursuing his dream of becoming a Hero. Izuku will fight on.
For part 4, we're going into the Overhaul arc. No clear idea of an ending. I'm still on the fence of even what I'm going to do for the Gentle fight. (Honestly it's my least favorite in canon.) But we'll see how things go.
We're not getting into more uncharted territory plot wise for me. So, my update schedule is changing. I'm only human, right? :P I'm aiming more for a monthly update if life allows. Please don't ask for when updates will come. They will happen when they can happen. Thank you.

Sleepover Curiosities by Mimisaka

Summary
After moving into the new dorms, Tooru feels a tad lonely, Mina suggests a girl's sleepover to cheer up everyone up.
Despite a somewhat tame truth or dare session, it unlocks the imaginations of the girls once they return to normal school life before they begin exploring themselves and then each other.
OR
What if Izuku was the last to join a polycule/harem.
Character heavy focus, plenty of fluff mixed in with some angst and plenty of lemons. Follows canon before diverging.

Quirk: Knife! by brightredwings

Summary
Izuku Midoriya is unlucky, to say the least and life hasn't exactly been kind. Things weren't so bad in the beginning, but once he was diagnosed quirkless, well, it all went to shit. Everyone grew to hate him, even his best friend and own father.
Was it really that impossible to become a hero without a quirk? It doesn't really matter because to Izuku, the term hero is flexible. He'll be his own hero because he's learnt from his own experience, people are selfish and the only one he can rely on is himself.
Left alone to fend for himself in the world, Izuku goes out to change things on his own terms, despite his methods being slightly illegal. Keyword, slightly. It's only illegal if he gets caught, right?

Curious cases of family bonds or lack thereof by Mirrond
Fandom 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia, 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
18 Apr 2025
Summary
Read in any order. It's less a series and more a multiverse with many repetitive elements (like OCs or plot concepts). Eventually will be composed of six parts: Cure to Evil, Ties that Bind, Dead on Arrival, All That's Left, Answering the Call, and Exiting the Stage.
Thus far Cure to Evil, Ties that Bind and Dead on Arrival are finished, Exiting the Stage is anywhere between being 50% and 66% done, and Answering the Call is on hold until I finish All That's Left.

Exiting the Stage by Mirrond
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
02 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
The Paranormal Liberation War ended years ago. The heroes won, but a horrible price. The decline that followed changed Japan into an autocratic dictatorship ruled with an iron-fist by a woman that once led the HPSC. The heroes that tried to stop that from happening are either dead, in Tartarus, or in hiding. Only a few continue their increasingly futile struggle against the government in the name of long-dead ideals, in their desperation slowly resorting to methods they once deemed unthinkable.
As their struggles continue, no one remembers about the remnants of the Paranormal Liberation Front. The names that once filled heroes and civilians with dread are slowly fading into lines in history books. That is, until something changes.
Almost ten years after the start of the first Paranormal Liberation War, a ghost from the past begins to gather others like him - those broken and forgotten - for their final performance before exiting the stage.

Summary
Nedzu expected a lot of things to happen on that day. All for One returning from death to blackmail him into enrolling his children - and almost three dozen of their friends, most of them related to various supervillains - into the UA and organizing a hyper-realistic (and publically transmitted) wargame between them and the Hero Course was certainly not on the list.
From then on, the chaos reigns supreme, and Japan is forever changed.

Ties that Bind by Mirrond

01 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
“Alright, so let me get this straight.” Eraserhead decides to take one for the team, since Mic, Emi and Midnight were just so unbelievably useless. “You, the son of the Number One Hero, were training on the beach, with one of the most prolific supervillains in the country acting as your nanny. You decided to save some runaway kid living on said beach, which led to you seeing three heroes, including Thunderbolt, the Number Three Hero, commit a blatant case of heroic brutality if not a downright murder attempt on two children. So you proceeded to intimidate them, and when it didn’t work, you… kidnapped them?”
Izuku looks down, but he honestly feels more shy due to standing in front of the people than in remorse for what he did. Then he nods.
Definitely a problem child.
