Warning: Non-Con
Summary: That day at the mall, things took a much darker turn, and in fear of All Might getting hurt, Izuku covers it all up. He soon starts to deny it himself, until it comes back and hits him with panic attacks, nightmares, and a rapidly decreasing will to live. As time goes on, Izuku hits rock bottom, and Katsuki is left to pull him out of it all, despite their unstable relationship.
Pairing: Izuku/Katsuki, Izuku/Shigaraki

Summary: Years ago, Yagi Toshinori met Midoriya Inko during his daily commute to Yuuei, and it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, their story didn’t have a happy ending.
Izuku might have grown up ignorant of his origins, but the truth has a tendency of eventually getting exposed— one way or another.

Summary: Midoriya Izuku has plenty of reasons to be nervous. A lone 15-year-old has to deal with:
-A secret that, were he to tell anyone, would send the world toppling into havoc.
-A chilly heir-to-the-Fire-Nation-throne that seems hellbent on finding him out.
-Word of an ominous organization gearing up to ruin life as everyone knows it.
...You could say he's a little bit stressed out.

Summary: “My thanks.” He says, smiling back. “What is your name, boy?”
“I’m Izuku! Izuku Midoriya, sir!” The boy replies, excited, looking up at him. And Toshinori looks into the unmoving washed out green, into milky white pupils visible behind the mess curly hair, and realizes.
The boy is blind.
The boy that he distinctly saw dodge a series of fairly quick attacks, light on his feet and clearly used to some kind of training, the boy that had thrown him the bottle at the perfect height and perfect speed, the boy that has easily collected his spilled groceries and orderly put them back into the little plastic bag—
The boy. Is blind.

Summary: Izuku Midoriya takes the same train to and from school Monday through Friday, morning and night. His only company during these lonesome hours comes in the form of another boy his age—a teen with scarred hands and blood gem eyes, a stranger with ash-blond hair who walks in a shroud of danger and mystery.
"Would you stop with that fucking muttering, idiot?"
And before Izuku can find his footing, his life becomes a full-blown collision course thanks to walking cannonball Katsuki Bakugou.
(And along the way he may have found the missing fuel to his fire).

Summary: Quirk: Self-Inflicted Healing
Can heal others by absorbing injuries through touch.
Izuku has always been a kind and selfless person, but when he finds that he has just the quirk to let him help others, he can't help it if maybe he over does it once in a while. But bleeding hearts and what not.

Summary: Izuku Midoriya used to want to be a hero. It seems a distant dream, now, after everything that he's done—after everything that he's been made to do. But it's still there. It's a dim, flickering flame, burning lower by the day.
He doesn't have time to concern himself with that though, these days he's too focused on staying alive to think too much about what he can never have.
Then All Might takes a job teaching at UA, and the universe says hey you know what would be fun? What if we fucked Izuku over even more than we already have? and thus, Izuku ends up in the General Education class of UA with strict instructions to report everything he can, because, thank fucking no one, he just can't catch a goddamn break.
AKA Hisashi Midoriya is a member of one of the most notorious underground supervillain organizations, and Izuku is being forced to help them (even though, trust him, he'd really rather not). Too bad that they don't predict that Izuku's going to get adopted by half the faculty when they send him to spy on the prestigious hero academy.
Pairing: Gen
NEW The Book of Deku
Author: melody_dramatic
Rating: Teen and up
Status: In Progress
Summary: Midoriya Izuku is born with a quirk, and it is a terrible, burning thing that will not let him rest. It has stolen his ignorance, his innocence, and his safety. It has driven him to restless obsession. But he is still Midoriya Izuku, and he will be a hero, whether his quirk cooperates or not.
AKA: Izuku gets a quirk that's actually awesome except for the part where it keeps messing with his head, but he's not about to let that keep him down. Even if it means resorting to vigilantism.

Warning: Child Abuse
Summary: Izuku inherited his parents’ quirks, but he swore he’d never use his fire.
He knows first hand how—bright, burning, scorching, painful, terrifying—destructive it is, after all, and Izuku promised (promised his mother, promised himself) that he’d become a hero who stops that kind of despair.
Even if he has to burn his own wings to do so.
But when someone with the exact same pain, problems, and fears shows up... Izuku can't help but try to heal them. And in doing so, he himself may be healed.
Pairing: Izuku/Shouto

Summary: Izuku’s never run into this problem before with anyone else, but it’s still not much of a problem. “Oh, that’s alright,” he says. “I don’t have a Quirk.”
Tsukauchi stares incredulously at him, and then looks at the iron bar that Izuku is currently straightening with his hands.
Midoriya Izuku does not let his lack of a Quirk prevent him from being strong.
Also known as that one AU where Izuku follows the ridiculous training regimen of Saitama from One Punch Man and becomes stronger than anyone ever imagined he could be.
Pairing: Gen
NEW By Design
Author: EtherealBeing
Rating: Explicit
Status: In Progress
Summary: As time went by, Izuku found it more and more difficult to reconcile his perceived quirklessness with the ever-growing permanence of his imaginary friend, Kacchan. This boy he’d created, whose very existence was designed to balance out his own shortcomings — he couldn’t always see him. Hear him. Feel him.
Kacchan, this boy whom Izuku made as an extension of himself — he wasn’t always real.

Summary: Eijirou’s mother told him that the sun is a star that hangs in the blue sky, far away from them because it’s too hot to touch and too blinding to look at. Kirishima Eijirou is three years old when he finds out that’s not entirely true. It takes ten seconds to come to that conclusion and even less to become smitten with the one he finds on earth.
An AU where Kirishima and Midoriya meet each other as kids, grow together as childhood friends, and ultimately fall in love.

Summary: Midoriya Izuku is a very warm person.
Not his personality (though that’s also true). It’s his quirk. His quirk is that he’s warm.
-
Eight-year-old Izuku is positive that his quirk isn't useless. It's just something that requires a little more work than usual, and if he researches the ins and outs of quirks and scientific theory, he'll prove it!
All he has to do is to find his body's physical limits, and push them until he learns how to make it work for him. Easy, right?

Everything he thought he knew about the world is about to change because there are monsters lurking in the dark below. Izuku wonders if he is one of them.

Summary: Izuku Midoriya has endured a decade of abuse, ridicule, and social ostracization due to his status as 'Quirkless'. Even his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugou, has tossed him aside and made it a mission to drill his uselessness home. But despite his obstacles and the derision of his peers, Izuku will never give up on his dream of being a hero, and will never feel shame for being called Quirkless.
Because it's easier than acknowledging that he has a Quirk at all.

The truth is much simpler. Death is merely the Tax all Life must pay. Some more than others.

NEW A Demolition Boy & his Cryptid BF
Author: kewltie
Rating: Teen and up
Status: Complete
Summary: Bakugou of the Demolition Squad is famous for running one of the most popular Youtube channels on the web that regularly blow shit up and jumped off a perfectly good building for shit and giggles. He's also famous for his Cryptid BF™, never appearing on camera except for a few bodyshots and all information on him is kept locked up tighter than Fort Knox, therefore drawing all sort of attention and curiosity toward his mysterious boyfriend.
Deku from Deku Explains is a hopeless chatterbox who is known for uploading 20-30 minutes video that talked about his favorite shows and comics and have one of the most devoted following on Youtube. He also can't seem to shut up about his boyfriend Kacchan, who regularly make his presence on the channel as a disembodied voice.
They should theoretically have nothing in common except a shared platform to host their content and an army of fans with an endless curiosity and devotion to their Youtubers. Vidcon is where we lay our scene and the internet is about to get a rude wake up call.

Summary: The creature lent down, its massive jaws opened as it crooned out the words; “You see me, child?” It’s voice was as soft as a babe’s skin, yet chilling as a murderer’s heart.
But Izuku paid no mind. He giggled as he tapped the creature's rusty red horns, ignoring the fact he was facing a terrifying monster. “Of course I can silly!”
“Hmmm.” The creature said thoughtfully, its rumble like the roar of a motorbike. “This is exceedingly peculiar indeed.”
Or.
Izuku was born with a Quirk that makes him what the Americans call a 'cryptozoologist', D&D players a 'op necromancer' and everybody else a 'weird kid with little to no sense of personal space'.

NEW Grief Counseling
Author: Merrywetherweather
Rating: Explicit
Status: In Progress
Summary: Katsuki remembered the first time he had failed to save someone, watched helplessly in horror as an elderly man had been crushed beneath the girth of a thrown car. He had already propelled himself forward to grab a small boy when he noticed, too late, the car fly by overhead. Two other heroes had been on the scene at the time and had assured him.
There was nothing that could have been done.
Most of class 1-A had already gone through a similar experience. The only one left with a clean track record in the rescue department had been Deku.
Well, except for today.
A slowburn fic where Kacchan tries to convince Deku to take advantage of the grief counseling provided for free to heroes experiencing their first failed rescues. Lots of flirting. Healing their relationship comes first. The romantic bit where they fall helplessly and stupidly in love comes after.

Summary: They say that if you stick a frog in pot of boiling water it will, of course, jump out. However, if you turn up the heat slowly, its senses will adapt and it will not notice until it is too late. This is what Todoroki Shouto thinks of when he hears of the new villain that has been dominating the news lately.
Bakugou spoke, “I know him. His name is Midoriya Izuku. He- we though he killed himself.”

Even when damaged, ridiculed, and put down, he will be strong, for all these things are a challenge. A challenge from the very universe to become something great and change the foundation of society as he knows it.

Summary: Deku’s grasp was gentle but firm as he slowly guided Bakugou’s face to his front again. The look in his eyes had changed; instead of innocent, it was more assertive. . . dominating. They were still wide and unblinking, though, as if Deku was daring him to try anything. As if Bakugou even could, with his entire back flush against Todoroki’s chest.
“That wasn’t very nice, Kacchan. Do you want to try again?”

I Summoned a Demon 101: an In-comprehensive guide to Corporeal Demon Do's and Don'ts

Status: In Progress
Summary: Midoriya Izuku was born with a quirk: the ability to summon and bind demons from an alternate plane to do his bidding. With only a few days left until the UA entrance exam and still no offensive-type demons in his arsenal, Izuku makes a desperate attempt at summoning one corporeal, a feat he had never before attempted. He'd say it was a success but, he doesn't actually know if it'll be more a help or a hindrance. Especially since Bakugou Katsuki is, well, kind of a shit.

Summary: As Todoroki learned from a tender age, growing up with your dad as the #2 hero in all of Japan has a few hazards--especially when you’re his designated prodigy and are constantly being goaded to do more, to be better.
Said hazards include: getting dragged to literally every villainous scene to observe from the sidelines, rigorous (and sometimes illegal) training sessions, and family issues out the whazoo.
But hey, at least his dad’s rival's kid is kind of cute.

NEW It's not really a quirk (but yeah sure let's go with that)
Author: Asarielle
Rating: Teen and up
Status: In Progress
Summary: It had been ten years since Bakugou last saw the friend who followed him around. Since then, all he’s had are letters he was told to burn and a cryptic sense that either Deku was the coolest (and only) friend he’d ever had… or he was batshit crazy. Honestly, what's he supposed to think when he gets a letter about Deku living with werewolves? And why did he say that demons were after him? Also, how can you have a power that's not a quirk? Deku had some explaining to do, and it better be the show-and-tell kind, or Bakugou was going to explode his face off or make him sit still in one place or something.
Featuring: an Izuku who was raised in a werewolf culture, has no concept of personal space, uses a magical ability to explode things/pause time, and sometimes accidentally summons demons to his location. Throw in some Dekubowl, cuddles, crack treated seriously, and a bit of PTSD and action to balance it all out. This was originally a thought experiment into how many people Izuku can be shipped with before the Dekubowl falls apart, so it also features soulmate theory, a dash of first time romance, and a swamp of polyamory for everyone to figure out.
Pairing: Dekubowl
