Title: Plain Scary, 10/10 Would Not Recommend
Author:Manfedzku
Pairing: None
Rating: General
Word Count: 1,872
Summary:
For a huge fundraising event, Class 2-A decides to host a haunted house as their contribution. Because none of them knows how to chill, they hold an internal contest, with the students splitting into two main teams and a prop department. Midoriya himself is super excited to use his Quirk for actual fun and entertainment, except that some have brought up that his array of powers and ghosts would make it unfair for the opponent.
“How about this?” Midoriya bargains, slightly miffed. “I don’t need One For All to strike fear. I’ll do it Quirkless.”
Or,
Kind, compassionate Midoriya shouldn’t be able to fucking terrify anyone without his eldritch-like powers, but non-believers who’ve faced literal war hell find out that he does. He does.
Title: reconcile
Author: whatagoodegg
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 151,203
Summary:
Midoriya and Shigaraki get hit with a Quirk that basically locks the both of them in an indestructible box and makes them unable to physically harm each other. The only way for them to get out?
They have to reconcile their differences.
Obviously, this is easier said than done.
Title: Complicated Creation
Author: Elemental
Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Yamada Hizashi
Rating: General
Word Count: 112,787
Summary:
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don’t like him very much, and c) he’s pretty sure the heroes now think he’s a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye’s right, and the kid really is a villain.

Rating: Teen
Word Count: 16,252
Summary:
Shouta gets sent back in time and immediately starts putting things into place to take down All for One. More importantly, he also adopts a lot of children, meets friends at the Park, and joins Midoriya Inko on her crusade against society’s idiocy. He gets Nezu involved.
(He’s also not as alone as he thinks).
Title: looking for sunlight
Author: the_crownless_queen
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 3,964
Summary:
Being at Mighty Tower feels a little like a dream come true, to Izuku.
Okay, maybe a lot like it.
In which Aldera is terrible (duh), Mighty Tower is awesome (also duh) and Izuku’s new acquaintance/possibly friendly adult Yagi Toshinori is pretty cool — and taking him to meet All Might.
Title: If Pining’s a Joke, We’re a Comedy Show
Author: JajaLala
Pairing: Fukukado Emi/Kayama Nemuri, Aizawa Shouta/Yamada Hizashi
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 7,729
Summary:
Kayama Nemuri has a certain problem with a cute joke-themed hero. Every time they meet sparks fly, but it’s impossible to tell whether Ms. Joke really feels the same, or if she’s only flirting for the sake of comedic bits.
Shouta, the confidante, is getting tired of all this pining.
Title: Sparkling Friendship✨
Author: Emily_Elizabeth_Fowl
Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Yamada Hizashi
Rating: General
Word Count: 11,839
Summary:
One raised brow later, Shouta remembered there was a question he was supposed to answer. He muttered something, hoping Hizashi would let it go.
“And now with words this time?” Hizashi said a small smirk dancing on his lips, and Shouta huffed.
“I said there wasn’t a guy,” he didn’t, but this was close enough. “I just-”
What was he supposed to say? Got distracted because I saw you through the window during my nightly pass by your apartment and I was overcome by the need to feel how soft your hair were ?
“…Got distracted,” he finished lamely, keeping the rest of that explanation to himself.
“By what?” Hizashi sounded incredulous, tilting his head slightly, another strand of hair falling onto his face.
***
Or: 5 times Shouta thought Hizashi and him were dating, and the one time they actually were

Rating: Teen
Word Count: 25,278

“Well, I was Kacchan’s friend. He was my bully.”
Midoriya gets hit by a truth Quirk, and his past relationship with Bakugou comes to light. Midoriya learns what it means to have people on his side; Bakugou learns what it means to face his mistakes head on. Dredging up the past is dirty, and painful, but it’s necessary if you want to heal.

Title: Fun At Hero Con
Author: wolfsrainrules
Pairing: None
Rating: Unrated
Word Count: 3,627
Summary:
Midoriya Izuku is still the biggest hero nerd to walk the earth and not even being Number One is going to change that.
Now if only he could remember to tell his fans that he is Pro Hero Deku.
Title: The Toes Show
Author: RayShippouUchiha
Pairing: None
Rating: General
Word Count: 1,657
Summary:
By this point, Izuku feels confident in saying that there’s very little online he hasn’t seen or at least heard of in some shape or form.
So Izuku knows that if he digs deep enough there’s got to be some kind of job online he can take that won’t care that he’s young and quirkless.
All Izuku has to do is find it.
~~~
Come to find out Izuku doesn’t have to dig all that deep after all.
Even if the job he ends up with is far from … conventional.
Title: Keep You To Myself
Author: RayShippouUchiha
Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Midoriya Izuku
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 9,192
Summary:
And yet the truth is that Shōta knows himself, has grown to know Izuku, well enough to know that what they’re doing, what’s between them, it’s not friendship.
Or, at least, it’s not only friendship. Not on either of their sides.
Friends don’t have this kind of tension practically seething between them.
Friends don’t harbor this kind of underlying burn smoldering away beneath every word exchanged or this electric sort of charge coursing through every accidental touch.
Title: Brain Pain
Author: RayShippouUchiha
Pairing: None
Rating: General
Word Count: 2,430
Summary:
“Oh ho ho,” Izuku chortles into the darkness of his closet even as he grabs a bottle of water up so he can start gnawing on the cap. “I think the fuck not you raggedy-armed bitch.”
It’s easy enough to start typing out a reply even with one hand and his vision sometimes blurring in and out.
“I know a guy with more arms who’ll be a way better hero than you ever were,” Izuku mumbles around his water bottle, one eye squinted closed as he puts all of his faith into his phone’s extensively trained spell check and autofill functions.
Title: There Is A Pattern Here
Author: lovelysandlonelys
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 9,309
Summary:
Midoriya Izuku was just barely keeping his grades afloat. It was a hard thing to do when you were quirkless, because quirkless people were less evolved beings and couldn’t possibly be up to par with their quirked classmates. And better than them? An impossibility.
Alternatively: All of Izuku’s teachers have accused him of cheating, until now.
Title: Pied Piper
Author: Blackholeca
Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Shirakumo Oboro/Yamada Hizashi (background)
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 297,091
Summary:
If they wouldn’t give him a chance then the solution seemed simple, he’d give himself one. He’d force the world to see him, force them to recognize his hard work. He wasn’t missing a quirk, it was simply that everyone else had been given an advantage. He wasn’t broken, or useless, or incapable, and he’d prove it by outrunning all of them, he who was quirkless, he who had started in last.
[UA rejects Midoriya from the hero course and he finds salvation in vigilantism.]
Title: damage control
Author: yamadadzawa (liarielle)
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 6,741
Summary:
Midoriya turns to Shouta, gripping his hand in a fist despite his clearly broken finger, and boldly declares that he’s still standing, that he doesn’t need to be rescued this time.
Shouta can’t help it. He shouldn’t, damn it, he shouldn’t encourage this, not when the kid is displaying a frankly disturbingly high pain tolerance. But he can’t help it. A feral grin stretches across his face.
Maybe Hizashi is right, and it does pay off to be an optimist, because it looks like Midoriya Izuku might not be skydiving towards his fate after all. This kid can learn. He can be saved.
—–
Or:
Midoriya isn’t surprised to see his name in last place on Aizawa’s quirk test, and believes that he deserves to be expelled. He’s not expecting to be wrong, and he’s definitely not expecting to have friends who don’t hesitate to stand up for him.
Title: Witness
Author: PitViperOfDoom
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 37,608
Series: Part 1 of Good Neighbors (Words: 62,416 - Works: 2)
Summary:
When a violent turf war breaks out between rival villain gangs, a civilian is caught in the crossfire and killed, and the Number One Hero Endeavor is called to quell the fighting and restore peace.
Shouto has been trapped working for his father since graduating high school, his life and career firmly under Endeavor’s control. Determined to keep his masterpiece from striking out on his own, Endeavor gives him an assignment that will keep him as far from the public eye as possible: bodyguarding Midoriya Izuku, the sole witness to the murder.

Rating: Teen
Word Count: 278,089
Series: Part 1 of What it Means to Be a Hero and Side Stories (Words: 280,081 - Works: 2)
Summary:
Staring at a trembling boy before him, All Might knows what he would’ve wanted someone to tell him if he’d asked the Number One Hero if he could’ve been a Quirkless hero. And if that notebook he signed was anything to go by, a little help from Nedzu and the boy might even surpass him.
When Midoriya Izuku asks All Might if he can be a hero without a Quirk, the Symbol of Peace says ‘Yes.’
Title: in the depths of shadows
Author: starburstsunshine
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 65,522
Summary:
While out on patrol, Shouta comes across Midoriya, who may or may not have unlawfully apprehended a villain. As it turns out, Midoriya seems to have an affinity for getting involved in trouble.
And as it turns out, Shouta seems to have an affinity for taking in powerful, aspiring heroes.
(Hizashi just says that between Oboro and Shouta, they simply have the tendency to take in strays. Hizashi is rarely ever wrong.)
Title: answer me.
Author: supercrunch
Pairing: Midoriya Izuku/Shigaraki Tomura
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: 16,944
Summary:
A finger touches his stomach and traces up his chest. It stops to investigate a small rip under his right pec, pressing against Izuku’s bare skin. It leaves goosebumps. “Your little jumpsuit’s not very durable, is it, Deku? I like it.”
“Don’t.” Izuku tries to back away. He can’t breathe. Shigaraki toys with Izuku’s zipper. It moves slowly downwards. Izuku’s exposed collarbones prickle in the cold. He shivers but doesn’t dare try to cover himself up. “You’re not good,” Izuku whispers. “You’re awful. You’re insane.”
“Yes.” A bead of sweat drips between his pectorals and into his navel. Shigaraki follows it with his eyes. And then with a finger, dry and cool against Izuku’s itchy-hot skin. “I hate that your little friends keep interrupting us,” Shigaraki whispers into the corner of Izuku’s mouth. “Let’s try it this way, pretty rabbit. You come find me. Promise we’ll get a moment alone.”
(The first time Izuku sees Shigaraki Tomura he thinks nothing much.
They second time they meet, though, is the time Izuku really sees him. It happens in a crowded shopping complex and it starts with a hand around Izuku’s throat.)

Author: Emily_Elizabeth_Fowl
Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Shirakumo Oboro/Yamada Hizashi (pre-relationship)
Rating: General
Word Count: 1,643
Summary:
”-So if you pass the exam on your first try, I’ll go out with you.“
Yamada was staring at him as if he suddenly declared the sky was bright neon green.
Shouta blinked, vaguely uncomfortable. Did he misunderstand? Were they just joking? Pranking him-?
"That is a cruel and unusual punishment,” Yamada announced, making Shirakumo snicker. “My love life is going to depend on my math result? I’m going to die alone.”
“My future as a hero depends on your math result,” Shouta reminded him dryly, moving to take the starter textbooks out of his backpack. “I think this is a fair exchange.”
Or: some tutoring shenanigans. No math was hurt in the making of this fic!
Title: Suikawari My Heart
Author: RayShippouUchiha
Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Midoriya Izuku
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 9,834
Summary:
Cheeks noticeably flushed, Dekiru sits down on the stage and fits a watermelon between thick, toned thighs.
His hips twist, those thighs flex, and the watermelon cracks, spilling a fresh wave of juice and sweet pink flesh all over Dekiru’s lap.
“Oh god,” Shōta can’t help but say, riveted despite himself, “I wish that was me right now.”
On stage Dekiru’s eyes go wide as his head snaps up and his attention somehow abruptly zero’s in on Shōta.
It’s at that moment that Shōta becomes aware of the deafening silence that’s fallen over the beach.

Summary:
Katsuki bit on his tongue so he wouldn’t scream — what, he didn’t even know — and kicked the wall.
The elevator jerked to a stop.
“What the-”
“Kacchan!” Deku shouted, hand clenching the railing as he stumbled. “What did you do?”
There’s nothing like getting trapped in a metal box with someone you’re currently annoyed at. Nothing.
Title: sugar and spice (and everything nice)

Pairing: None
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 3,402
Summary:
“I was thinking that I could make something sweet for Aizawa-san?” she asked, tugging absently at the hem of her dress. “He’s always eating those jelly things, and they’re sweet, but Yamada-san and Nemuri-chan always say they’re not real food and are bad for him…”
She wasn’t really looking at him and so she couldn’t see the way Izuku’s eyes teared up from how adorable she was being.
“I think that’s a great idea! Do you know what you want to make?”
She hesitated for a second before nodding. “Could we make candy apples?”
Title: Matchmaker Matchmaker (Gonna Match Him A Man)
Author: RayShippouUchiha
Pairing: Aizawa Shouta | Eraserhead/Midoriya Izuku
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 5,083
Summary:
“You did what?” Naomasa eventually rasps once he can breathe again.
“I don’t want my boy to make the same mistakes I did,” Toshinori explains. “But he’s a great deal shyer than I was at his age. So I’ve taken it upon myself to reach out on his behalf.”
“No,” Naomasa practically gasps, some strange mix of horror and glee in his expression. “Toshinori, tell me you’re joking. You’re trying to matchmake Izuku?”
Naomasa doesn’t wait for Toshinori to actually answer him.
Instead, he just breaks out into loud braying laughter, uncaring of the way everyone around them has stopped to stare.

Rating: General Audiences
Word Count: 13,660
Summary:
Izuku was debating the merits of seeking out the new vigilante group that was on the news when he heard the list of known members. He knew those names. Specifically, he knew those because they were assigned to six of his hoodies.
He knew he should come clean. Maybe just stick to one costume, or stop being a vigilante altogether. Groups were treated much more seriously than lone entities, and he could get in serious trouble if they sent heroes after him expecting backup that didn’t exist.
A week later, he had characters designed for every hoodie he owned.
In which Izuku becomes a one-man organization, and everyone has to deal with the consequences.

His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
Well, might as well.

Pairing: Midoriya Izuku/Monoma Neito/Todoroki Shouto
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 20,996
Summary:
What kind of operation…led to a hero and a vigilante being thrown into a cell together?
Judging by the look on Phantom’s face, he was thinking something very similar. There was a noise from further in the cell, though, and his body language shifted, his eyes lighting up with a touch of fear as he squared his shoulders as much as he could square them. “We’re not alone,” he warned Shouto.
Shouto raised his eyebrows, turning his attention to the depths of the cell.
“What’s this?” a voice rasped, from deeper in the cell, darker, the part covered in the most shadows. Phantom flinched at the sound of it, and there was a rattle, a clink, and Shouto realized that the third member of their company was more heavily chained than them. A moment later, and the second realization hit—that meant something. “A new person to join us in suffering?”
Another shuffle, another clink, and the owner of the voice finally stepped into the little bit of light coming through the window on the door. The light caught the edge of his hair, so dark it almost looked black, but Shouto knew better. He knew better.

Izuku steps towards the other teen, holding his hand out to shake, “I’m Midoriya Izuku by the way. We haven’t officially met yet, right? I don’t remember seeing you at the Entrance Exam?”
The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.
