Summary
Izuku must learn his place in a broken and cruel world. He must learn the cost of being a hero. He must learn the cost of changing the world to his own image. In a world divided by factions vying for control, oppressive governments, and sympathetic villains, Izuku must decide his place amongst the chess pieces. He'll have to decide what to make of the broken dreams and shattered faith of an indifferent world. He'll need the power to rise above the mire and muck of despair.
Thankfully, he was never quirkless.
Sometimes quirks hide until they are triggered. Izuku tasted death and found it lacking, every flavour bitter and lacking spice. In the moments between death and life, he gazed into the howling abyss and it followed him home. Everything he thought he knew about the world is a lie. There are monsters lurking in the dark below, always waiting and always watching.
They wait patiently, waiting for one to sit upon a throne of crystal madness and eternal suffering. They have waited for aeons and will wait until the end of eternity.
They wait for Izuku Midoriya.

Summary
After All Might gives Izuku a much needed reality check, he has to find a new dream. When he learns that the support course at UA offers an emphasis in Intelligence and Analytics, it sounds like the perfect new passion for him to throw himself into.
Who knew? Maybe Hero Analysis for the Future was never meant for his future as a hero, but for his future helping heroes...This fic has a discord.

Summary
Izuku has nothing—the corrupt hero system and quirkist society made sure of that. Even with a spiralling mental illness, living through excessive bullying, and gruesomely losing his right eye in an accident, the world shows him no mercy. There's a thinning line between his desire to become a hero and his desire to give up.
How much more can he take before he is pushed over the edge?
Meanwhile, Katsuki has everything—the world’s skewed view of heroism and living in a society that values quirk strength above all else makes sure of that. He gives everything he has to reaching the future that was pre-decided for him, but it’s still never enough. His privilege and talent can only protect him for so long.
The only question left is: if they are never enough on their own, how many quirks will Katsuki have to earn—and Izuku have to steal—before they can reach their goals?

Izuku is mercilessly whumped for way too long until he finally, FINALLY turns to villainy.
