    Summary

    Requested by an anonymous user: "I love the BNHA/2003 TMNT crossovers, but I want to see one in which Nedzu is a manipulative little shit who somehow finds himself at the Battle Nexus during Splinter's first run and goes 'Mine' and decides to make him his, whether Splinter likes it or not."

    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.

    Summary

    “So this is the evidence I’ve been waiting all week for?” The Hero’s hand grazed the alarmingly thin file.

    “This one’s extremely careful with sightings. We had to make an entire bank robbery set-up just to get a picture of the guy.”

    “So I can assume you want him in custody as soon as possible, right?”

    “So far, he’s had no real criminal offenses other than vigilantism, battery, and suspected hacking- again no proof. It’s difficult especially considering we have no idea what his quirk is.” At the last sentence, the Hero’s head shoots up from the papers.

    “What do you mean you have no idea what his quirk is?”

    Midoriya Izuku never asked for this.

    No one ever asks for anything these days.

    Whether or not they expect something they want to be handed to them, or if it’s something that they never wanted at all.

    In Midoriya’s case however, he never was handed anything he ever wanted.

    Izuku should have been a villain. Some already see him as such, and yet he found himself in this odd in-between, scraping his bloodied hands towards something lighter, grasping and clawing at any spark of redemption he thought he could have. It wasn’t much, but he was trying.

    Summary

    Izuku was tired. His bones felt heavy and he just wanted to lay down. He wanted the muzzle off his face and wanted the cuffs off his hands. The muzzle on his face rubbed the scars wrong, causing him even more pain. He hated the way his feet felt. His claws had been filed down to the quick to make it fair for the others. Izuku’s jaw hurt and all he could taste was blood. It wasn’t even his own blood and that's another thing he hated.

    He couldn’t remember how he ended up in this place, but it had been years. He knew that. He watched as the watchers got older and some even stopped showing up. His handler was gray now. Not the vibrant red that he had once been. There was a new face in the watchers.

    “Tonight's fight to the death!” The Watchers screamed, cutting off the announcer. “The Dragon against our challenger! Avone!” The cage lifted.

    Summary

    The Tenno. They have been known by many names: Devils, betrayers, abominations of the Void. Their history is one of blood and loss, as is that of all those touched by the Orokin's rule.
    But now, the Origin System is gone, destroyed by the ego of a single man, and all but one of the Tenno have perished.

    Haylee is the last. She made the deal to save as many as she could, and inherited a power she does not want. She, along with several thousand residents of the Origin System find themselves in a new world, with new powers. This is not a universe of constant war, but one of heroes and quirks and with a dark history hiding beneath the surface. It is the opportunity for a second chance in life, if they choose to take it.
    Izuku is training to inherit One For All, the quirk of the Number One hero. One day, he finds several strangers struggling on the beach, changing the course of his life forever.

    Summary

    After the sludge villain incident, Izuku’s life is blown apart.

    Beaten and exploded half to death by the person who was supposed to be his friend, he’s left bleeding in an alley- only to be picked up by the Hero Killer and dragged into the League of Villains, bound by a debt he never agreed to.

    It should’ve been the worst thing that ever happened to him.

    And maybe it was.

    But somewhere between becoming Stain’s personal informant and the League’s analyst, Izuku starts to understand something- that for the first time, he’s not completely powerless.

    Summary

    Izuku never made it in any way, but at least he had a job he didn't hate, and a hoby no one could EVER know about to keep him entertained on his down time!

    Or:

    Running right on time for his next shift, Shouta realizes someone is following him.

    Well, he can't be having with that!

    Or:

    A chance meeting, or is it fate? Destiny? Kismet? Or just two idiots meeting for the first time in a slightly unconventional way?

    Summary

    All for One is Hisashi Midoriya. I've seen lots of fics where Izuku gets a version of AFO, but what if his quirk wasn't a copy of his father's like that. Consider instead: Quirk Blueprints. Izuku is able to see someone's quirk as a blueprint/diagram. He can see all the details and the upper and lower limits and drawbacks. He can also alter it. He can't change the fundamental nature of a quirk, but he can mess with the settings.

    Summary

    Izuku took the famous UA entrance exam, and got (by his count anyway) enough points to be in a heroics class, so why is he in Gen Ed instead?

    Or:

    Nezu needs a tool, a very special tool, and he is very very sorry but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. But his one could do with a bit of help, which he provides.

    Or:

    Why on earth has Nezu listed Shouta as the single disciplinarian for a kid not just NOT in his class, but all the way on the far side of campus in gen ed?

    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 good morally grey guys.

    Summary

    Despite what some people might think, Toshinori Yagi wasn’t an idiot. He could be scatterbrained at times, but he could also be extremely perceptive when he wanted to be.

    He could see that his chosen successor had been broken and abused by a society that didn’t care for him.

    The boy looked up to him, idolized him as a Hero.

    Toshinori would do everything to live up to Izuku’s expectations. He would protect this broken child no matter what, and help him grow to become the Hero this world needed.
