Summary
A week or so ago, they’d been lying back to back in bed, in the dark, and Wolfwood had told Milly that he wished he could be more like her. When she asked what he meant, he opened his mouth and the word pretty came out instead of the word good, and then Wolfwood’s chest had squeezed so tightly he couldn’t say anything else.

Shadows: The Horror Movie Heroes by Clouds (myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown)

Summary
Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.
So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.
The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’
This fic has a discord.

Internet Sensation || Vigilante Midoriya [ DISCONTINUED ] by imeengoldberg
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia, mha, BnHA

Summary
"Even if I don't have a quirk, can I bee a hero?"
Silence...
"Without a quirk?" ... "If you want to help others, then you could also become a police officer, or a nurse." And he may have been right, maybe he couldn't be a hero without a quirk, but that entirely depends on your definition of a hero.
Is it the legal definition? A person employed under agencies to deal with villains? Or is it the noun? A person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities?
The media eats the Vigilante Valor's story up. His name literally meant brave, and he showed that bravery. He even recorded it and posted it online, the crazy bastard. Obviously, the media loves a young bad boy with a good heart and a mysterious identity, and it doesn't take long for him to become internet-famous.

Izuku knows that he's broken.
But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?

Summary
CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN.
Ad Astra Per Aspera
Latin
Translation: To the stars through hardship.~~~~
"Do you t-think I can be a hero too?" Izuku asked, tears prickling the corners of his eyes as his world continued to shatter around him. The video of All Might was playing on the computer screen, white noise in the universe, the only words that mattered to him waiting to come out of his mother's mouth.Inko looked at her son, remembering his determination, his passion and intelligence, the tears rolling down his cheeks as he glanced at her with such despair like hope was lost for him. She saw the possibilities of the future, the joy he felt in the past and she knew the words she needed to say, her mouth forming a decisive line as she uttered the life-changing words.
"Of course, you can Izuku."

Summary
If Shinsou Hitoshi had a nickel for every time he thought he was about to die and his only protector would be a kid shorter than him cosplaying Mothman, he’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot- but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
This time, though, he was in an alley at around 11:28 at night, so at least it was a slightly more respectable time and place to get murdered.
--------------------------------------
In which Shinsou Hitoshi befriends a cryptid, gets his favorite hero's autograph, reaches out, and shows off some PowerPoints he made.

Summary
Izuku is a monster. He knows this, everyone around him reminds him of this fact every day. A freaky, quirkless, useless, monster named Deku. Who while unable to do anything right, or wrong for that matter, knows too much about everything. What will Izuku do when near the end of the worst day of his life he meets a demon? Well not a demon, maybe a dog, or a mouse, or a bear. But not a demon and maybe Izuku isn't the monster he thought he was.

Summary
They say that you can either let the world destroy you or destroy the world. Izuku doesn't know which category he falls into, but he does know that he won't let anyone be hurt like he was hurt if he can help it.
With unconventional methods, a few broken bones and self-sacrificing attitude, the vigilante dubbed Carbon Cat attempts to balance crime fighting, evading arrest, living alone, and high school. He can't tell which one is the most difficult.
OR: in which Izuku never receives One For All, becomes a vigilante and tries to keep everyone at an arms length. Doesn't mean they'll let him, though.

Summary
Izuku was chosen for his lack of quirk. Aizawa was chosen for his quirk’s usefulness as it pertained to the mission. Both were scanned and vetted meticulously, followed for a minimum of one month (Izuku) and a maximum of three (Aizawa; it took much longer due to his pro-hero status).
Kidnapped and subjected to experimentation, torture, and horrors beyond comprehension, Izuku and Aizawa only have each other.
But left to the mercy of their captors, will their companionship be enough to break themselves out? Or instead, lead them to break apart in the process?

Chess huh? Izuku had always liked playing the strategy game, Mom said he had a knack for it too. He wondered if he could find an online chess-playing server. That would be a good alternative to the painful hero forums, and who knows? He might get a few online acquaintances out of it! People who wouldn’t know and therefore wouldn’t judge him for being quirkless!
. . . . That was a little too much to hope for, wasn’t it?

Summary
"Kid, you ain't got no quirk, no muscle, and no battle sense. There's no way you'll be a hero like the big man. But that's fine. Cause instead of dressing you up in star-spangled underpants, I'm gonna make you fuckin' mean."
It's not All Might who saves Izuku from the slime villain, but rather a certain cotton tailed heroine. She has a much different approach then the #1, and decides that the trembling beanstalk of a kid has enough guts to go pro. Ft. Confident! Izuku, Parental! Mirko, and enough sass to make my eyes bleed.

Summary
Izuku breathes heavily as he takes another turn on the slippery floor of UA halls. The adrenaline in his veins pumps keeping him quick and sharp. This feeling keeps him alive. The moment is endless. Or it feels as it is.
Eraserhead is hot on his heels, but he can manage that. All that matters right now is living. He just has to keep running forward. Just like he always did. Run from everything.
Oh, only if he knew what follows closely behind Eraserhead, something way more sinister and cruel starts to catch up with the both of them. It's only a matter of time before Izuku cracks.
It's only a matter of time before the lights go out and the other side of himself gets to breathe the night air again.
Lock your doors, but that won't stop him. Good luck.
