Summary
“It certainly has been a while since you last sat in my office, Midoriya,” Nezu commented.
Midoriya rubbed the back of his neck, his smile somewhere between embarrassed and exhausted. “I really am grateful for this alternative you’ve offered me, with the HPSC blocking me from getting a hero license.”
“While I find the commission’s choices regarding your license frustrating, the prospect of having you as a teacher here is quite thrilling!”
“So that means I’m hired…?”
Nezu chuckled, and a dangerous light came into his eyes, the type that signified when he got one of his ideas. “Not only that, but with your past experience as a villain, I’d finally get to implement a program I’ve been considering for some time now!”
Midoriya tilted his head. “Oh?”
OR
Rehabilitated villain Deku is blocked from pursuing his revived dream of being a hero, so he takes the next best option: being a teacher at UA. With a twist. Nezu decides it’s time UA had its own villain rehabilitation program.

The Bug Under Your Boot by JustaPerson1

Summary
Izuku Midoriya is quirkless, and therefore, not human.
The world exists in a hierarchy, where those possessing the most powerful quirks sit at the top, living off the sweat and poverty of those with weaker quirks. One's quirk determines their entire worth and role in society, and their value as a person.
Destro fought for the world he wanted, and he won. The hierarchy was the outcome.
But Midoriya is sick of being treated like dirt, and even more frustrated over his inability to change anything. So what happens when he's offered an excessively powerful quirk, or a place in an organization fighting the broken system?
What happens when a boy who's been kept underfoot all his life finds a way to change the world?

Both Love and Blood are Red by JustaPerson1 for KageNekem

Summary
Both Midoriya's past and future were red, but for entirely different reasons.
Uraraka had shown Midoriya what it was to have hope. She illuminated his future with dreams and aspirations they would pursue together, hand in hand, smiling all the way. She had filled his life with love.
Her murder took all of that away. It shoved him into the shadow of despair, where he drowned in the sorrow of everything he'd lost - including his heart and will. Her absence stained his life with blood.
Midoriya knew which red he would be staying in.
Or at least he thought he did.

Summary
Izuku’s body is a prison for One For All, and he's determined to keep it locked up for the rest of his existence.
But while trying to make his own impact on the world, influence it so no one else experiences what forced him to become what he is, he discovers there's only so much he can do on his own. Especially when he receives an assignment to kill one of the heroes he admires the most: Ochako Uraraka.
The vestiges trapped within his quirk don't make anything easier. They've decided if Midoriya won't use their power, he can at least use their advice.

01 Dec 2025
Summary
The story of an Izuku who has his hope in heroes shattered, only to get taken in by a group of people who shatter him further. Being a villain shreds his heroic heart, until it's almost irreparable.
But those painful memories can be used to help others. The scars he gathered aren't for nothing. Maybe something good can come out of all the bad he's experienced.
Maybe being a villain opened up a much brighter future for him, and for society.

Summary
“Yes,” All for One agreed. “This will be the final resting place of All Might.”
“You,” Midoriya Izuku said and paused, thinking over the words. He sounded taken aback. “You want me to help fight All Might.”
“Of course,” All for One nodded along. “I can offer you double of whatever my counterpart is paying you currently, along with anything your little heart could desire. Of course, you would get to help out drastically—"
“Did you happen to check what world you were pulling me out of when you did this?” Midoriya Izuku interrupted and it was said in such an incredulous tone that had the situation not been as critical as it was, All Might would have laughed.
Also known as: number one hero Deku has been through a lot of things, but being thrust into an alternate reality where he’s All for One’s Successor is a first. He has to navigate this world when his alternate self is a villain who's dead-set on killing him and this version of class 1-A. All the while, his friends search desperately for a way to get him back.

The villain Deku is too suave and heartless for my liking, but the kids’ reactions to a hero version of him are golden, amazing read.

Summary
Deadeye Izuku Midoriya is a bounty hunter known for his competency in completing bounties, although he cleverly games the corrupted system to ensure the bounties who don’t deserve to die manage to escape. When a new bounty appears for the Gravity Cat, a cat-girl thief who seems to make off with goods like they weigh nothing, he does his best to ensure the other hunters don’t get ahold of her.
Turns out, she doesn’t need his help to escape, but she does need a partner in crime. Unfortunately, he wasn't prepared for the dose of flirty teasing that comes with the partnership. Good thing he’s a quick thinker.
