The Curse of Tarragon Mountain by Cardinal_Direction

Summary
Tarragon Mountain held a reputation, one it outwardly embraced with ominous towering black slopes and a jagged summit. All season a brutal blizzard accumulates before the annual winter day when the storm descends the slopes and holes up the village for months on end in a winter wonderland. Some rumors attributed the storm to a simple hiccup in nature, others claimed the mountain held the pathway to hell where creatures of dark magic frolicked and lured the unsuspecting.
Izuku was much fonder of the fairy-tale Inko would tell him as they huddled together through the cold winter nights.
She told him of a fair and noble dragon-blood king caught in a war between good and evil. She told him of another king, jaded and evil who sought to control power through abhorrent means. Included in the fable were a prophecy, an unfinished war, and an incomplete conclusion.
The good king lay to this day within the confines of Tarragon Mountain, cursed to forever slumber until a powerful omega, just as strong and intelligent as the king himself, would release the king from his slumber, free their people, and bring everlasting peace.
It was a nice fairy-tail, but Izuku had much more to worry about than a story... right?

OR The Day Izuku got attacked by the Sludge Villain, All for One was keeping a close eye on All Might in hopes of finding his weakness. As it turns out, a green-haired child got the attention of the greatest SuperVillain and his wide array of Quirks.
What would happen if Izuku's whole story got derailed by an 'Anonymous Benefactor'?

Summary
About a week after that, All Might asked Izuku if he was aiming for the hero course at UA. The question was so sudden that Izuku nearly dropped a microwave on his toes.
The truth was, if All Might had asked him that a week ago, there would have only been one possible answer to that question. All Might had gone to UA, UA was the best, so Izuku was going to go there too, if he could. But things were a little different, now that he was going to receive All Might’s Quirk.
“No,” he said, decisively.
All Might looked caught off guard, which was a very rare expression on him. “No?” he echoed, like he couldn’t believe it.
A laugh bubbled out of Izuku’s throat. He honestly couldn’t believe it either. “No,” he repeated.
___
Or, All Might tells Izuku about All for One before he gives him One for All, and everything changes.

The Dark Below by DarthPeezy

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.
