Summary
Izuku Midoriya’s father is a Hou-ou — a Japanese phoenix.
For some reason, this means yokai have a standing invitation to pester Izuku with their existence. Birds assemble choirs for his birthday. If there’s no cedar leaf under the welcome mat, the amazake babaa that lives two apartments over will be knocking on their door by evening. His yokai-purifying excursions get mistaken for vigilantism far too often.
(What’s going on with All Might? Is Principle Nedzu a yokai? Tokoyami, could you please get Dark Shadow to stop calling me ‘my Lord’?)

Summary
Izuku just wanted to escape the real world. He wanted to belong somewhere. Feel needed and useful. Feel like he was more than just a quirkless worthless boy. However, when he first started playing video games, he never thought he'd get stuck in a death game.
or a fic where izuku is kirito. I'm not going to write about the events of sao, not all of them. This is a fic that will show you what would happen if Izuku got stuck in SAO and survived. What will happen to the green-haired boy after he'd been through hell.
This is the story of how he will show the world that strengths is something we work hard for. It's not given on a golden platter.

Izuku knows that he's broken.
But can the people that come into his life help put him back together?
Will Izuku let them?Series

Summary
For a long time, Izuku's life went as many of you know it. Being bullied, getting powers from All Might, enrolling in UA, fighting villains at USJ, fighting Stain, going to summer camp, getting a provisional license, fighting Overhaul, getting killed by Overhaul... Oh, right. That's new, isn't it?

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always had a sharp mind. He aims to transfer to the U.A. Heroics course from the Support Course. He knows he’s smart enough to get in, and he’s always been gifted with making things. He just never thought his items would be of use to him before U.A.
Tsukauchi Naomasa never expected a phone call from a twelve-year-old child who’d been kidnapped by villains. Who was still in the hands of villains. But he’d be damned if he let this kid die.
A fic about Izuku being kidnapped by the LoV, but staying on the phone with Tsukauchi, Eraserhead, and Present Mic the whole time.

Summary
The cat is in the closed box, with a 50% chance of being alive and a 50% chance of being dead. According to the principle of uncertainty in quantum physics, he is alive and dead until someone opens the box.
Izuku doesn't want to open the box.
OR
Izuku didn’t return home after school. Two months later he was found roaming a deserted road with white hair, psychogenic amnesia and a quirk out of control.
Nothing is the same after that.
