    Summary

    (Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)

    Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”

    “Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”

    “Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”

    “I-I’m what?! W-wait!”

    tl;dr

    Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

    Summary

    What would you do for an All Might action figure?
    Midoriya never thought he would be challenged with that question, but as he gripped the box of a new, limited series “Thin-Might” action figure, he could feel that question echoing throughout his head.
    Especially since Kaminari looked like he was not willing to let go either.

    or

    Kaminari learned not to challenge Midoriya to a battle of stubborn determination when All Might merch is on the line.
    A shame the Class A women rigged the bet in Midoriya's favor.

    Summary

    After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn’t quite sure there’s anything left for him to live for, but...he can’t exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can’t technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He’ll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he’d be born with a quirk in the next life.

    This fic has a discord.

    Summary

    Shouto had been expecting it to be Uraraka.

    He’d prepared himself for it—the moment he became friends with Midoriya, aflame in a stadium all those years ago, he’d accepted that he was second best, and that he was never going to be anything more than that. It wasn’t like it was hard for him to accept, or like he blamed Midoriya—Uraraka was bright. She was friendly, and warm, and kind—she would help him unconditionally, she always smiled, and she was, all in all, a good match for him. These were all things that Shouto did not have, and he knew that. He’d come to terms with it.

    He’d been prepared to always be second-best.

    But this—this was not Uraraka.


    Or, Shouto learns about the unpredictability of love through heartbreak, laughter, and a little bit of time.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya never got the chance to save Bakugo from the sludge villain and impress All Might. With his dream crushed, Izuku becomes bitter and angry. It also doesn't help that he faces discrimination at every turn.
    All he ever wanted was to be appreciated, so when the villains are the ones to recognize his talents rather than the heroes, well, Izuku just can't resist. He might as well help those who actually want him around.
    Mistakes were made, and now society must face a villain of their own making: Mastermind.
