throw me a goddamn rope - just enough to hang myself with by mutalune

Summary
Shouta’s plan had been ill-defined and desperate from the start, but he figures the important shit boiled down to, “Change as little as possible, make sure Midoriya doesn’t get himself killed, and stock up on lychee jelly pouches because that flavor got discontinued three years from now.” Keeping it simple’s always better, and he’s normally good at improvising.
Somewhere along the way, he must’ve fucked up since now he has:
A quirkless problem child hanging off of his every word
His best friend going through a sexuality crisis thanks to said problem child’s mom
His other best friend clinging to him like a security blanket
Some two-bit mob boss threatening him with bouquets of daffodils
To wring the number one hero’s fucking neck for not telling him anything useful before sending him decades into the past
All he did was walk Izuku Midoriya home. It wasn’t meant to turn into whatever mess this is.

Summary
Not everyone is considered equal, the strong strive and the weak wither like weeds in the shade. But just because Deku was born with an inherently weak quirk he won't let that bring him down.
And maybe the nickname Deku is a bit more literal than anyone ever realized!!Say hello to Deku: The Wooden Doll Hero!!

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.

Summary
"So why should I be the one to go?! You’re the teacher! The Hero!! What good could someone like me do?!”
“Izuku.” The man’s voice was harsh, and made the younger man’s eyes focus on his friend. His eyes softened. “It must be you. You’re not who you were back then. You aren’t useless. Remember this: You are a Hero. And the world is counting on you—even if nobody realizes it. Here. When the time comes... give this to him. You'll know he trusts you when he calls you 'Problem Child.'" He smiled fondly, handing Izuku a pair of rings on a chain.
~~~~~~~
When the world ends, their only hope is to send one Quirkless man back in time. Back in his 14-year-old body, will Midoriya Izuku be able to save the world that shunned him all his life? And will he finally be able to become a hero this go around?
Good thing he had time as a vigilante to practice.

Summary
Izuku had vague memories of how his family used to be. He could remember when he had a home, a warm bed, and steady diet. These memories were muddled, overshadowed by the burden of no longer having a place in society’s unseeing eyes. For where was a monster like himself supposed to fit into a judgmental space like that?

Midoriya Izuku has seen monsters. All Might fought villains on a daily basis who wouldn't look out of place on the set of a horror movie. Public heroes are flashy, dramatic, and safe. Monstrous quirks belong to villains, not heroes.
Izuku wants to do good in the world, even with his villainous quirk. But if the path to heroics is closed to him, what are his other options?Bookmarked by CryingARiver

Summary
Everyone always told Izuku he couldn't be a hero, so when he dies and discovers his quirk, he becomes a vigilante out of spite. Whoops.
After becoming Spectre, Japan's most wanted vigilante, Izuku realizes he can just fulfill his dreams of going to the top heroic school- after all, who can physically stop him from attending UA when he's a literal ghost?
My own spin on the Ghost! Izuku au, in which Izuku is every ghost from every horror movie (but for the side of good!), Class 1-A desperately needs a vacation, and one purple-haired insomniac gets his life changed for the better.

brilliant lights will cease to burn (by my hand i'll reignite them) by novalotypo
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia, Cardcaptor Sakura
05 Nov 2018
Tags
Summary
Midoriya Izuku is quirkless. This, he knows very well.
This is also what he knows:
Weekends and vacations are reserved for walking neighborhood dogs. The elderly are the most powerful people on Earth. Local gods are picky eaters. Trust is a feeble, feeble thing. Magic cards are incredibly difficult to seal, especially when the world thinks you're a vigilante. Heroes are not magicians, but magicians can be heroes.
Becoming a cardcaptor wasn't on Izuku's bucket list, but he'll be damned if he doesn't make the best out of it.

Mostly because he was five and there was a lot of bad porn involved.
since then, things have been complicated. seeing through the fourth wall isn't exactly good for ones sanity but that doesn't mean he can't have some fun.
