    Summary

    The only thing Izuku ever wanted to do was help people.
    Civillians, heroes, villains – everyone.
    Thankfully, his parents helped him realise that he didn’t need to be a hero to help.
    Well, not a licensed, recognised hero, at least.
    Being a hero was…subjective at best.
    He’d proven it.

    Summary

    Sekoto Peak is a beautiful place at any time of the year. Its neverending forest of pine trees holds something more than just green surface, something out of this world.

    When its peace is disturbed by the growing dance of azure flames and symphony of screams and the crackle of burning wood, it is a promise that something will happen.

    Although what could the cold feeling all around Touya mean, because he certainly doesn't know?

    Summary

    Read those tags because you’re gonna need it if you got a weak stomach.

    All Might never dropped the slime villain. Midoriya never got One For All. Hopelessness burns admiration into resentment. Saved from his own self-disgust of being quirkless by a soon-to-be half fire/half ice hero, a new obsession arises. And Shigaraki is more than happy to take in an upcoming villain with hatred that mirrors his own. He’ll even help get anything and anyone he wants.

    But what happens when a villain gets a soft spot? Can villains even have those? It’s a little weird but they figure it out. And it gets even weirder when Todoroki family drama is involved. And a dog apparently. Maybe the bad guys are just little broken and fate has cursed them to be that way. Or maybe someone’s been pulling the strings since the day All Might turned his back on Midoriya on that rooftop.

    Midoriya x Todoroki: toxic obsession gone… well? (Give them time, they’re working on it)

    Shigaraki x Dabi: lowkey roommates to lovers (And they’re both weirded out about it)

    Bakugo x Kirishima: the trauma don’t stop coming (Bakugo really needs ptsd counseling in this one)

    Summary

    Getting mugged in a dark alley is not how Izuku wanted to spend his first day of school, but at least he gets a meeting with a hot vigilante out of it.

    Or; vigilante au, with Shouto Frostbite as the vigilante and Izuku as the damsel in distress.

    Summary

    Midoriya Izuku has:
    - a shapshifter quirk and spends a bit too much time as an animal instead of as a human,
    - little regards for the law,
    - a rodent and a commission keeping an eye on him
    - and a supporting family.
    He lacks a little in the friend department but that's fine, he will probably get there.

     

    Or: crack with a plot :D
    Edit: This turned out less crack and more plot than i anticipated xD

    Summary

    As he falls, he lets himself think about it. He lets himself think that if he wakes up, if things go back again, it means that he does have a quirk. It means he really can take a swan dive off a roof and hope for better luck in his next life. It means that all along, he’s been useless and worthless because he hasn’t died yet.

    He hits the ground.

    And then he opens his eyes.

    (vigilante!izuku AU where izuku has a quirk that rewinds time when he dies)
    (hiatus! will be eventually adapted into an original work. for updates/more information, my twitter is nauticalwarri0r)

    Summary

    When the duke's heir stumbles into the heart of Deku, King of Thieves' operation, the opportunity to take advantage of the duke-to-be is too good to pass up.

    And yet, Izuku finds himself oddly charmed by the sheltered heir. Rather than merely seducing him, he finds himself falling in love with him.

    But Shouto is not as free as he appears. The Duke is no kinder to his heir than he is to his people, and Izuku will not see harm come to his lover, even if it means toppling a Duke.

    Summary

    Izuku slid his thumb underneath the top of the note and quickly popped it open before he chickened out. If he chickened out, Iida would remind him of the note’s existence (because there was no way Iida wouldn’t do that) and then it would be awkward because Izuku would have to explain he hadn’t forgotten, he was just avoiding it. And Izuku was already awkward enough as it was without adding to it.

    Izuku read the inside of the note.

    He blinked.

    He blinked again.

    “Midoriya-kun?” Iida asked. “Is everything alright? Your face looks—”

    Numbly, Izuku showed him the note.

    There was a moment of silence, and then there were two moments of silence, and then Iida said, “It is unsigned.”

    Izuku flipped the note back around, looking at it again as if he expected the words to have changed in the time Iida had been reading it. Honestly, Izuku would have been less shocked if they had, because, well…

    I like you.

    Summary

    Through some freak accident of the universe, Dabi has been invited to compete on The Bachelorette. Have they actually seen his face? Surprisingly yes, and they still want him. For this season they apparently need a ‘bad boy’ to both balance out the hero contestant (why in hell is Hawks involved?) and to trash talk the show in interviews to appeal to audiences who don’t like the scripting. Getting sent on a vacation away from his annoying bandmates to complain and eat as much free food as he wants? Sold.

    Summary

    “No…” Shigaraki snarled. In about half a second he had Dabi’s hands locked behind his back in cuffs and had dragged him over to them. “But we are bounty hunters after your head, so you best stay quiet.”
    “Hawksie…” Toga breathed. “That was amazing! You’re the strongest automaton I’ve ever—”
    “Automaton?” Dabi breathed, chuckling softly, wild hair hiding his face. “No, he’s a Kinetically Engineered Intelligence Generating Organism of the highest calibre, actually.” His luminous gaze lifted. “Hello K.E.I.G.O.” He purred, Cheshire grin in its usual place.
    Keigo sighed. Deeply. He was even driven so far as to reach up and pinch the bridge of his nose. “Hello master.”
    Dabi rolled his eyes. “Not your master.”
    “In all senses of the word, since you created me, you are.”
    “I’m sorry,” Rumi began, and Keigo remembered that she existed. “But what?!! Dabi is your master?! You told us Dabi didn’t exist!”
    Dabi snorted. “He doesn’t like sharing.”

    Or: Keigo really does not want to take the job to catch the elusive and infamous Dabi, known for pulling off the impossible. He just neglects to tell Shigaraki it’s because he’s permanently bound to the man, that’s all. It’s nothing important.

    Summary

    Dabi fell silent, and his wild grin melted entirely away, leaving him with something that made Hawks think, just for a second, that he looked like a hollow husk, up here at the top of a windy building, sitting too close to the ledge.

    “My father used to push me off buildings like this.” He whispered, and Hawks felt his ears flick up, felt his body freeze. “He’d wait till it was dark, like tonight, and I couldn’t see the bottom to tell how far it was. Then he’d push me and I’d have to expel enough flame to slow my descent. I always burned, because the sheer amount of power you need to keep yourself aloft is crazy. I think I broke my wrist at least four times landing wrong.” He laughed softly. “I was…about ten. Guess it doesn’t take long to be able to tell that someone’s useless, huh?”

    Or: Hawks is hit by a quirk and turned into a cat. It seems like the perfect chance to finally get some intel on Dabi, but then, Hawks never really expected to find anything. Not about the horrifyingly small amount of food the villain manages to survive on and not about the waves of protective instincts that are kicked awake inside him when he learns how soft Dabi becomes when no one’s watching.

    Summary

    “These stories are ghosts, bringing people back from the dead. Just for a moment, for a visit, every story is a ghost.” - Chuck Palahniuk

    Hitoshi never believed in ghosts until he met Midoriya Izuku. Now he’s convinced the other boy is haunted, and he’s going to get to the bottom of things. The only problem? Somewhere along the way, he develops feelings, and well… Things get complicated when you’re pretty sure that the guy you like is possessed.

    Summary

    Dabi’s system for naming his contacts was convenient for many reasons. Unfortunately, it also had many downsides. Such as now, when the League was scrambling to pack up everything and switch bases because their entire building had been compromised.

    (or, 5 times dabi changed hawks’ contact name and one time hawks did the same)
