    Summary

    It’s terribly fitting, Izuku thinks, that he would meet his favorite hero just as he's about to die.

    ----

    Izuku breaks.

    He doesn't expect someone to try to put him back together.

    Summary

    “Where’re you off to in such a hurry?” The man asked, crouching to meet Izuku’s eye level.
    Izuku hesitated, his eyes wide and fingers digging into the plush fur of his rabbit. “I… I don’t know,” he admitted in a whisper.
    The man studied him for a moment, taking in his disheveled state, before nodding slowly. “Got a place to stay?”
    Izuku thought of home, his stomach twisting. He shook his head, the tears threatening to spill over again.
    The man sighed and extended a calloused hand. “Well, I’ve got an extra bed at my place, you’re welcome to stay over if you’d like.”
    Izuku stared at the hand. He wasn't supposed to talk to strangers, let alone follow them home, but where else would he go? He thought of the rat he'd seen scuttling about earlier, and after a long moment, he reached out, letting the man take his small hand in his own.
    “Okay,” Izuku said.

    Alternatively, AU where Izuku grows up in the red light district.
    I would like to clarify that the Izuku/OC tag is loosely defined, and the main relationship of the fic later becomes Shinso/Izuku

    Summary

    “Midoriya, what is this?”

    Aizawa was holding a piece of notebook paper that had been folded in quarters and tucked in the middle of a notebook. Izuku didn’t recognize it immediately, but when he got a glimpse of the sloppy handwriting, the blood drained from his face.

    “Oh my god. I’m so sorry, that shouldn’t be in there. I’m so glad you found it, I can’t imagine if Eri saw…”

    “Is this what I think it is?”

    Izuku swallowed around the lump in his throat.

    Aizawa had found his high school suicide note.

    When looking through Izuku's old analysis notebooks from high school, Aizawa finds the suicide note Izuku wrote in his second year at UA. He insists it's all in the past, but re-reading the note sparks some reflection for Izuku. Maybe he's not as okay as he thought.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku. Quirkless. Useless. Broken. These words defined him. After a lifetime of torment and a crushing rejection from his hero, Kacchan's words echoed in his mind. “Why don’t you take a swan dive off the roof and hope for a Quirk in your next life?”

    So he did.

    Or!

    Izuku finds out he has a quirk after all, and he can't die. Using this to his advantage, he becomes a Vigilante, and along the way grows close with a certain underground hero and his husband.

    Summary

    Aizawa Shouta had been walking a tightrope for years. He was overworked, exhausted, and one bad fall away from a complete collapse. The last thing he needed was another complication.

    Before the start of a new school year, he met the boy he last saw more than six years ago: his new student Midoriya Izuku. As if the resurfacing memories weren’t enough, Shouta’s mind was already consumed by an old, unsolved case. A string of kidnappings that still haunted him.

    But it’s Midoriya who became his newest mystery. If it's not his disrespectful behavior, then it's his reflexive willingness to hurt anything Midoriya saw as a potential threat. Shouta might have been able to dismiss all of this somehow, if it weren't for the fact that Midoriya was just as self-destructive as he was.

    OR

    How Midoriya became the cause of about seventy percent of Shouta's headaches.
